An A-Class article should approach the standards for a Featured article (FA), but will typically fall short because of minor style issues. A peer review should make the article a viable candidate for FA. Assessing an article as A-Class requires more than one reviewer.

Criteria

It is—  (a) well-written: the prose is engaging, clear and concise, respects copyright laws, and the spelling and grammar are correct. It may be brilliant, and of a professional standard; (b) Factually accurate and verifiable: it provides references to all sources of information in the section(s) dedicated to the attribution of these sources according to the guide to layout. Claims are verifiable against reliable sources and are supported by inline citations where appropriate; (c) comprehensive, well-researched: it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context and contains no original research. It might be compiled as a thorough and representative survey of the relevant literature; (d) neutral: it presents views fairly and without bias; and (e) stable: it is not subject to ongoing edit wars and its content does not change significantly from day to day.  It follows the style guidelines, including the provision of—</li> <ul> <li>(a) a lead: a concise lead section that summarizes the topic and prepares the reader for the detail in the subsequent sections;</li> <li>(b) appropriate structure: a system of hierarchical section headings and a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents; and</li> <li>(c) consistent citations: where required by criterion 1c, consistently formatted inline citations using either footnotes or Harvard referencing (Smith 2007, p. 1) —see citing sources for suggestions on formatting references; for articles with footnotes, the meta:cite format is recommended.
