Good article nominations
Good articles is a list of articles containing excellent content, but which are unlikely to be suitable featured articles - primarily because they are not very long. The system is unbureaucratic: everyone can nominate good articles, and anyone who has not significantly contributed to an article can review it. This list is for proposing possible promotion of articles to the community for consideration. (Consider joining WikiProject Good articles if you are doing lots of reviewing!)

How to nominate a page
If you believe an article to be good according to the 'Good Article' criteria: When you nominate an article, please consider also choosing another article from the list to review.
 * 1) List the article at the bottom of the relevant section below using the syntax: #   with an edit summary of "Nominating Article Name "
 * 2) If the article is longer than 32kb, add LONG to it.
 * 3) Add  to the nominated article's talk page.

How to tell if an article is long
To determine if an article is longer than 32kb, go to the article and click the edit tab. Articles longer than 32kb will display a length warning above the edit box; shorter articles will not.

How to review an article
The process for reviewing an article is: Review carefully—the standards of good articles are only as high as those of the most lenient reviewer!
 * 1) Choose an article to review, noting:
 * 2) * You cannot choose an article you've significantly contributed to.
 * 3) * Nominations near the top of the lists are oldest, and should be given higher priority.
 * 4) Read the whole article, and decide whether it should pass or fail based on the criteria below.

Pass
If you feel the article meets the 'Good Article' criteria:
 * 1) Remove it from the list  using the edit summary "Passed Article Name "
 * 2) Replace GAnominee with GA on the article's talk page, and leave a comment there.
 * 3) List the article on Good articles under the appropriate section and update the article count at the end of the section.

Fail
If you feel the article does not meet the 'Good Article' criteria:
 * 1) Remove it from the list using the edit summary "Failed Article Name "
 * 2) Replace GAnominee with FailedGA on its talk page.
 * 3) State which criteria it failed to meet on the article's talk page.
 * 4) If your sole criterion for rejecting the article was a lack of appropriate references, please add the article to the Unreferenced GA Nominations list.

On Hold
You may put an article On Hold for up to 7 days if only minor changes or clarifications are needed. If the 7 days expire without the nominator addressing the concern, the article can be failed. To put an article on hold, copy and paste the following below the nomination entry:
 * :On Hold: Notes left on talk page. --~
