Misplaced Pages

Before nominating an article, please ensure it meets all the featured article criteria:

• Prose must be engaging and of a professional standard.
• The article must be representative of the relevant literature on the subject.
• All claims must be cited to high-quality, reliable sources, with consistently formatted inline citations using one of the approved methods.
• The article must be neutral, stable and follow the style guidelines.
• The lead must adequately summarize an appropriately structured article body.
• Images must be adequately tagged and sourced, and follow the image use policy and, where applicable, the non-free content criteria for inclusion.

If you are unsure that the article meets these standards, Peer Review may be a more appropriate venue. The FAC coordinators can remove an unprepared nomination at their discretion after at least one reviewer has suggested it be withdrawn.

Further advice

• Make sure you have consulted significant contributors to the article prior to nomination.
• Double-check for potential copyright problems, including the inadvertent copying of information from other sources, and too-close paraphrasing.
• Finally, to help resolve the FAC backlog, making it more likely that reviewers will see your nomination, please consider reviewing existing candidates, especially those listed on this template. Good luck!
