Excellent short articles in Wikipedia The process for listing excellent short articles is simpler than that for featured articles. If you find or write an article meeting the criteria, you can add it to the nominations page for an impartial reviewer to assess and, if successful, add to this list. Articles are removed if promoted to featured status or delisted for not meeting the criteria: any editor can do this by following the delisting instructions. If an article's nomination fails or it is delisted, pointers should be given on its talk page on how to improve it to reach the criteria. Disagreements can be resolved on the disputes page. WikiProject Good articles helps to maintain the process. |
