Cscr-featured.pngred Articles
Featured Articles Are the top class of Articles. They are not rated by an individual but have to go through a candidate process where senior editors discuss whether it qualifies and come to a consensus. A featured article is always.

Featured articles may not always continue to reach their original criteria. These have to be sent to review so that it can be determined whether or not it is right for them to continue to be graded as an FA. If not then they will be classed as 'former'.


 * Vulgar Latin,
 * current status: B,
 * current FA Nomination status: Not being Nominated,
 * FA: 12th October 2004,
 * Review: 12th August 2006,
 * Former: 24th September 2006

Before an article can be called an FA, it has to be proposed and nominated at WP:FA candidates, although it is worth discussing it on it's own talk page first. It becomes a candidate and is discussed until a general consensus is reached over and about it's status and rating as an F.A..

If an articles status as an FA is questionable it can be reviewed in the Review area as a discussion.

Symbol support vote.svg Good Articles
Good articles are articles which are considered to be of good quality but which are not yet, or are unlikely to reach, featured article quality. Good articles should meet the good article criteria and have passed through the good article nomination process successfully. In short, they should be well written, factually accurate and verifiable, broad in coverage, neutral in point of view, stable, and illustrated, where possible, by relevant images with suitable copyright licenses. Good articles need not be as comprehensive as featured articles, but they should not omit any major facets of the topic: a comparison of the criteria for good and featured articles describes further differences.

Good Articles Definitions and Descriptions

GA candidate.svgdates
Good articles are important to us but they do have to go through a nomination process. This is where they are under review. We should try to press 'B' articles that are good enough into nomination. One example is Ancient Rome, a former GA.

In recent times the FA and GA Assessing criteria have changed and in some cases have made it more difficult for articles to be nominated. Articles that were nominated and succeeded but later didn't match the criteria can be found. These are distinguished with a separate banner on their talkpage. They should be listed here. They are normally described as being 'delisted'.


 * Latin, current status: B, Current GA Nomination status: Not being Nominated at the Moment.
 * Ancient Rome, current status: B, Current GA Nomination status: Not being Nominated at the Moment.

Symbol unsupport vote.svg Fails
Not all articles will pass, in fact many will fail. Those that fail nominations will be listed here with the date and further information. If they later succeed it should be struck through.

Symbol neutral vote.svg Second Opinion
If you are unsure as to whether an article meets GA criteria you can ask for a second opinion. We may not keep these up to date but will try!

Popular Pages
I, 95jb14, have added our WikiProject to a wiki based toolserver that determines the most popularly viewed pages and we are currently on the waiting list. Our request key is mbb0h8i, this is to edit or delete the request before it is accepted. It will appear as a subpage, WikiProject Latin/Popular pages and has a maximum number of articles available to view on the list set to 1500 (the maximum). Don't worry it shows all of the articles in order of Popularity so the some that are after 1500 will be the least popular any way. The website is here:.


 * Our list is now available for view for the first time (for November now) at

Quality images logo.svgty Images
Quality images are run by the Commons (Wikimedia Commons) but a banner is shown on 'File:' articles. They are images, videos and diagrams that meet certain standards based on technical image quality. There are over 7,100 of these images. It is not something we need to worry about or focus on but I felt it is necessary to include here.
