Shortcut: FA/V Feature Article Voting Here, we determine which articles are to be featured articles (FAs). Any page in the main namespace can be a featured article, not-including group pages with the exception being historical groups. Articles which have been given FA status, or have been featured in the past should have the FA star placed on the page. Sysops need to remember to semi-protect or fully-protect the current featured article from vandalism if deemed necessary. Criteria NPOV - The article must be from a neutral point of view and not show significant bias. Possible exceptions may be made, depending on the article and community opinion. Complete - It neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context. Well Written - The article uses good English, such as proper grammar and spelling and is written in a clear and highly readable style. Generally Awesome - Here at the wiki, we're after stuff that's awesome. The article with the best Yes to No votes is featured. In the case of a tie, one article will be picked to be the current FA, with the other (tied) articles to be shown on subsequent weeks. Articles may only be featured once, unless no other candidates are chosen. In that case, the current FA will stay until a new one is voted in.

Example

Featured Article candidate

Featured Article candidate has recently undergone a lot of improvement from various editors. It's NPOV, it's concise and informative. I also believe it to be generally awesome, just take a look at the talk page discussion, people love it! --FA Suggester 20:29, 3 April 2009 (BST)

Yes

1. Yes - I see only a few minor issues, but those seem to be fixed readily. Otherwise it's good. --OptimistBob 20:29, 3 April 2009 (BST)
2. Love it! --Few Words Joe 20:29, 3 April 2009 (BST)
3. Yes - Maintains good article balance, strong intro, accurate information, good grammar and spelling. Well wikified. --Overly Technical Jim 20:29, 3 April 2009 (BST)

2. Nope - Still hasn't addressed this problem here. --Specific Jen 20:29, 3 April 2009 (BST)
