Community Portal – General Discussion – Wiki Questions – Featured Articles – Did You Know

Shortcut: GA Good Article Voting Here, we determine which articles are deemed to be "Good" Articles. These are seen as some of the best the wiki has to offer and can include virtually any page on the wiki. Articles which have been given good article status, become eligible to become Featured Articles with a new Good Article being voted to receive that honour every week. 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. Any main namespace article (also including user pages and journal pages if they are thought to fulfil the above criteria) can be nominated for good article status. The nomination will be discussed and if there are no major issues raised at the end of 7 days, the article is promoted to Good status and will be added to the Featured Article Pool for the coming week. Articles that are deemed "good" will be placed in the Good Article Category for easy findage.

First Siege of Caiger Mall

Pretty well written article, it's got plenty of information in it and it's pretty interesting to read. Particularly since Caiger has a lot of history and this was the first major siege that occurred in front of it. -- Cheese 19:53, 29 April 2009 (BST)

2. Although can we not replace those pesky red links with simple bolded text? --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 20:03, 29 April 2009 (BST)
3. This is arguably the most important allusion to UD's past, and a very popular one. I agree with Rosslessness- if this does get chosen, we should simply bold the dead links. -- Lorddragonfang  ^Talk 00:04, 30 April 2009 (BST)
