Vikidia:Star articles

A Star article is one which Vikidia users have nominated and voted on, as being particularly good. The information on these pages should be properly sourced (taken from proper sources, like newspapers, reference books, etc).

Criteria

These are some of the criteria used. A Star article:

1. Must be free from spelling mistakes.
2. Must be properly categorised. An article can have as few as 1 category, but more can help people to find an article quicker.
3. Must be free from vandalism. Pages with false information can’t be a star article because readers could be misled or offended by the content.
4. Must be free from advertising. There should be no links to outside companies or products, or promotion of things for sale on the internet.
5. Should be easy to understand, while being informative enough to provide information to the reader.
6. Should have sufficient (enough) images to show or explain what is being written about.
7. Should contain properly sourced information (from Newspapers, reference books, etc.)

There may be problems if the article nominated is:

1. A stub or a disambiguation page. Stubs are very short without much detail and disambiguation pages help find articles with the same name.
2. Poorly written or contains spelling errors. People may not understand what you wrote if it contains mistakes or isn't clear.
3. Uncategorised. Articles should be properly categorised, so they're easier to find for other users.
4. Spam or Vandalism. These are pages made for advertising, or which have been altered or damaged by other users who want to mess them up or mislead readers. If you find these types of pages, please tell an administrator!
