User:This is Paul/Achievements

Below is a list of articles which I've taken through the various Wikipedia processes together with the dates they achieved a particular milestone. They range from newly created or expanded pages nominated for the Did You Know section on the Main Page, to more established articles that were submitted for Good and Featured content. I have either created or significantly contributed to many of the subjects listed here, and articles which I've taken through more than one process appear in each of the appropriate tables.

Featured Articles
Featured articles (FAs) are considered to be the best articles Wikipedia has to offer, as determined by its editors, and are used as a benchmark for writing other content. To reach Featured Article status, an article must meet the Featured Article criteria, which requires its subject matter to be accurate, neutral, complete, and well-written. They are reviewed as Featured Article candidates by experienced editors, and if promoted have a chance to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured article.

Good Articles
Good articles (GAs) are articles regarded as being of good quality, but not yet qualified as having the quality for featured article status. To attain Good Article status an article must satisfy the Good Article criteria and go through the Good Article nomination process.

Did You Know
Did You Know (DYK) is a section that appears on the Main Page, showcasing some of Wikipedia's newest or recently expanded content. Articles which are submitted to Did You Know undergo an informal assessment before featuring in the section. Articles appearing in this list are largely self-nominations unless otherwise stated. For a list of DYK alerts (which include the facts that appeared on the main page), see User:This is Paul/DYK facts.

In the news
The In the news (ITN) section appears on the main page and serves to direct readers to articles that have been substantially updated to reflect recent or current events of wide interest.

Editing milestones
An editing milestone is reached when an editor has reached a particular number of edits.
