	Misplaced Pages contains many '''good articles'''. However, only about 0.1% of our articles are ], which have been thoroughly reviewed and designated as the very best of Misplaced Pages.

			----
	Many articles contain excellent content but are unlikely in their current state to become featured; they may be too short, or on too broad a topic, or on too specific a topic, or on a topic about which not much is known. We should endeavour to identify good content, which may have the potential to become featured after some development. '''825''' articles are currently listed as meeting the good article criteria (with several having been promoted to ] status and presented with this tag {{tl\|GAF}}), but there are plenty more out there waiting to be listed.

	;'''What makes a good article?'''

	A good article shares many characteristics with featured articles, and like featured content it must:

	* be well written
	* be factually accurate
	* use a neutral point of view
	* be stable
	* be ], and
	* wherever possible, contain ] to illustrate it. The images should all be appropriately ].

	Good articles may not be as thorough and detailed as our featured articles, but should not omit any major facets of the topic.

	For more detail see ].

	;'''How to list an article on 'good articles' '''

	The process by which articles are designated as 'good' is much simpler and quicker than that by which articles become featured. Simply add any articles that match the ''']''' to the ''']''' page, where they will be assessed by an impartial reviewer and added to the list or rejected with pointers on how to improve them.

	If an article has gone from good status to featured article status please use {{tl\|GAF}}. Don't forget to remove articles from the list if they get promoted to featured status.

	;'''What to do if you disagree with a listing'''

	If you see an article listed here that you think is not good, ] and try to improve it or remove it, leaving {{tl\|DelistedGA}} or {{tl\|DelistedGAbecause}} and a note on its talk page to indicate why you think it is not good. Please keep in mind, however, that "be bold" does not mean "be merciless": a ''good'' article is not the same as a ''featured'' one and the criteria are somewhat less stringent. A notice on the talk page with suggestions about improvements without delisting is preferable, unless you think that the article is really bad.

	If you see an article removed that you think does in fact meet the criteria, add it to ], to get wider input and a consensus on whether it should be listed or not.

	See ] for a related proposal.

	;'''Helping to maintain this page'''

	Anyone can take part in keeping this page working, by reviewing new nominations or assessing current listing to ensure they meet the criteria. The members of ] also help to ensure the page is properly maintained. Scripts, such as the ] script and the ], also exist to assist in completing this task.

Good articles in Misplaced Pages

A good article (GA) is a Misplaced Pages article that meets a core set of editorial standards, the good article criteria, passing through the good article nomination process successfully. They are well-written, contain factually accurate and verifiable information, are broad in coverage, neutral in point of view, stable, and illustrated, where possible, by relevant images with suitable copyright licenses. Good articles do not have to be as comprehensive as featured articles (FA), but they should not omit any major facets: a comparison of the criteria for good and featured articles describes further differences.

Out of the 6,931,519 articles on Misplaced Pages, 40,688 are categorized as good articles (about 0.59% or one in 170), which are listed below. An additional 6,642 are listed as featured articles (about 1 in 1,050) and 4,535 as featured lists (about 1 in 1,530). Because articles are only included in one category, a good article that has been promoted to featured status is removed from the good articles category. Adding good and featured articles and lists together gives a total of 51,865 articles (about 0.75% or one in 134). A small green icon of a plus sign inside a circle () appears in the top-right corner of the article indicating that the article is good.

Any significant contributor may nominate the article if they believe it meets the good article criteria. Any impartial editor may review the article from the queue of good article nominations. If it meets the criteria, it is added to the list of good articles below. There are instructions for nominators and reviewers. Similarly, anyone who believes that an article no longer meets the good article criteria may propose to delist it by following the instructions for reassessment.
