This page is for reviews of existing Good articles. A Good article review is conducted when a current status article no longer meets one of the standards listed in the GAN rules or has significantly changed from the state it was in at the time of gaining status. On this page, users can nominate articles that they believe need updates or require their status removed.
- Good article reviews history
How to nominate:
- Select a Good article that requires a review.
- Add {{GAreview}} at the top of the article you are creating a review for, and save the page. Please note that if the article you are nominating has been nominated for Good article review previously, the same page will be used.
- Open the redlink in a new tab to create the nomination page, modifying the preloaded instructions as necessary. A reason for opening the review must be provided.
- Copy the code provided to the bottom of this page.
- Purge the article to update the template.
- Other users can add additional issues and suggested improvements (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources, etc).
- On the review, all editors are able to add and address objections noted on the article's review. Afterward, one of several outcomes occurs:
- …all objections are satisfied.
- …all objections have remained unsatisfied for a period of thirty days, without a request for extension.
- …the article has exceeded or slipped under the Good article word count.
- …the article has changed significantly from its original state.
Closing stages:
- If all objections are addressed, Wizarding Examinations Authority review board members can start a vote to close the review after it has been open for a minimum of 48 hours. Three Wizarding Examinations Authority votes are required for an article to maintain its Good status.
- If objections have remained unsatisfied, the article has exceeded the word count, or the article has changed significantly from its original state, the Wizarding Examinations Authority review board can send the article to a probationary status. A consensus of at least three Wizarding Examinations Authority members is required for an article to retain its Good status or have it removed at the end of the probation.
- …articles that exceed or slip under the word count can have Good status removed.
- …articles marked for probation that have unsolved objections for over thirty days, with no request for extension or attempts made to fix, can have Good status removed.
- …articles that have changed significantly from their original state are reviewed by Wizarding Examinations Authority members. When determined that the article's current state is satisfactory, the review can be closed, and the article maintains its status.
