Please familiarise yourself with the following criteria prior to voting. A good article is one that is:
- Well-written: its prose is engaging, coherent, clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct.
- Comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details, is of substantial length but does not go into unnecessary detail, remaining focused on the main topic.
- Accurate: it is well-researched and its claims are verifiable and not in dispute.
- Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias.
- Illustrated: it should, where possible, be illustrated with appropriate images with succinct captions.
- Well-structured: it should have a concise introduction that summarises the topic and a system of hierarchical section headings with a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents.
Template
To use the good article template, add {{GA|revision=123456|date=29 May 2023}} to the top of the article. The correct revision and date are the ones that are most recent, just prior to the article being approved. For help on how to use the template correctly, contact an administrator.
Nominations
Republic of Yusienia
Nominator: Xuanyi (talk) 13:03, 20 November 2022 (UTC) Comment by nominator: I know it's far from being a good article, but I want to bring it up to par. So I'm here for advice.
- COMMENT Visa Policy section is atrocious, don't list forty different nations like that. Miscellaneous grammar and spelling throughout. Devinpurcell (talk) (contribs) 15:39, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
ǃkhās Street
Comment by nominator: This is technically not a road!!
Democratic Republic of Subejia
Comment by nominator: My micronation has been three-year development and the article seems to be good at this point. Qadri223 (Talk) 18:23, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- COMMENT In terms of content, the lead is sufficient, and the images are good; but many of the sections are fairly short. I would remove the 'December 2021 floods' and 'Post-floods era' headers and just merge that text into the above; also, there is no need for a new space every sentence, merge the text to create a paragraph; perhaps add some text in 'Administrative divisions' summarising each of the states; 'Geography' can definitely be expanded (this is an extreme example of what kind of information could be added); and 'Culture' looks far too short as well. Additionally, Notes, Refs and External looks are properly formatted and relevant. Definitely a promising article with just a few expansions! ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 14:08, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
2020 Indonesian micronations shock
- Nominator: Nabil nordamdie (talk) 08:26, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
Comment by nominator: I think this page has been comprehensively and extensively documenting an example of interactions between micronations and the macronational media and how the general public will respond to any micronation, which remains something challenging for micronationalists. Nabil nordamdie (talk) 08:26, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- SUPPORT Fantastic article—neutral, accurate and well-referenced. Very fascinating as well; thanks for writing it! The only issue I found was with the spelling and grammar of certain phrases but I copyedited it so it should be good to go now. @Nabil nordamdie: I have two small comments: "An expert in sociology" and "Former West Java police chief" should say their names. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 16:29, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- SUPPORT great article, would make more people know about micronations in Indonesia, which most micronationalists don't know about them. As an Egyptian, the only Afro-Asian country, I think it is necessary to encourage people to know about more micronations in regions like Asia, Africa, and South America. :-)Mo:-) 18:05, 28 May 2023
Transport in New Eiffel
- COMMENT Overall, it looks decent, but it's short. — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Republic of Satoshi (talk • contribs)
- @The Republic of Satoshi: Well, it is a small micronation but I do believe I have covered everything. What do you think needs expanding? ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 15:55, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
- SUPPORT Yes I do agree that it is a short article, but it's well organised and I really love the grammar in this article. The pictures in the article really attract my attention. Simplexify (talk) 11:07, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Seasteading
Comment by nominator: Historically significant :)
Commonwealth of Juniperia
Comment by nominator: Advice please also comments.
- Comment I echo my points with your other nomination—§ Government is really lacking prose and has two wikitables adjacent to each other that also intersect with two images, making it look really awkward. § Subdivisions too has no prose and § Geography and climate is short. For § Subdivisions, you can add brief summaries of each division, like their size, notable features that distinguish them from the other divisions, etc; Empire of Austenasia#Administrative divisions is a good example of what you could add. And Geography of New Eiffel, especially #Climate, is an extreme example of what type of information you could add to § Geography and climate to expand it. Explaining Juniperia's climate should be the easiest IMO. ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 23:31, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
2021 Georgienstinian presidential election
Comment by nominator: Fire article
- Oppose: The first few sections are pretty good, but after § Labour-Democratic Party nomination there are simply too many templates and wikitables without any prose, making it difficult to navigate and really awkward-looking. The sections could perhaps be merged and I do not really think the massive amount of those ticket templates are needed for every nominee, perhaps not unless more prose can be added. The first three subheadings under § General election campaign can honestly be removed since they each have barely any text; and § Certification of the election results could possibly be split into just two paragraphs instead of five. I do quite like § Issues and reckon it should be used as an example of what the other mostly empty sections should strive for if possible. In other words, this is definitely GA potential with a bit of new additions! ★ ZabëlleNB ♥︎ (formerly Z Luna Skye) (talk | edits) 03:41, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Intermicronational organisation
Comment by nominator: Boring but a significantly important topic nonetheless that MicroWiki would greatly benefit from if it was GA. Here for feedback; be harsh!
Aardvarks on Parade
Comment by nominator: Music! This was originally approved during the old GA system. I briefly copyedited it and think it is again sufficient for GA status.
- Comment: Just a quick note, it does say in the comment on the nomination section: "MAKE SURE YOU READ THE CRITERIA BEFORE NOMINATING AN ARTICLE. PLEASE CAN EACH USER ONLY NOMINATE ONE ARTICLE PER MONTH" (The uppercase letters was exactly how it was formatted). So... yeah. Sertor (Chat) 10:52, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
