Good articles in Wikipedia

Currently, of the 3,488,273 Wikipedia articles, about 10,425 are categorized as good articles (about 1 in 335), most of which are listed below. An additional 3,101 are listed as featured articles (about 1 in 1,130) and 1,934 as featured lists (about 1 in 1,810). Articles are only included on one list, so when a good article is promoted to featured status, it is removed from the good articles list. Adding good and featured articles and lists gives a total of 15,460 articles (about 1 in 226).

The process for designating an article as a good article is intentionally straightforward. If you find or contribute to an article meeting the good article criteria, you can nominate it on the good article nominations page for impartial reviewers to assess and, if it is accepted, it will be added to the list of good articles. Similarly, anyone can propose that an article which no longer meets the good article criteria be delisted by following the delisting instructions. If an article's nomination fails or if an article is delisted, an explanation and possible improvements should be provided on its talk page by the reviewer or delisting editor.

Disagreements over article quality can be resolved on the reassessment page, which WikiProject good articles helps to maintain. [edit header]
