This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Fevrret (talk | contribs) at 21:17, 10 September 2014 (→Arts). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Suitable articles at the Article nomination board are likely to appeal to a wide variety of editors, and have sufficient potential for improvement: Stub-Class, Start-Class and C-Class articles are ideal for nomination.

Articles and lists nominated here can be about any topic on Wikipedia. To encourage diversity, nominations are listed under the following topical areas:

Be bold! Articles here can can be edited at any time by all users, regardless of project membership status. As such, this page also functions as a general noticeboard for English Wikipedia. All nominations will be automatically archived by MusikBot once they are closed, and successful nominations are automatically listed at the Articles for improvement page.


Shortcuts

Articles

The following are nominations to become a today's article for improvement (TAFI) entry. Please do not nominate an article unless you are fairly certain that it meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Any nomination of an article that does not meet this criteria may be removed. Any user may nominate and support or oppose an article below, however only members of this project may close nominations as successful or unsuccessful.

Successful nominations have few or no objections and at least 3 supports. They are then moved to the holding area and from there into the schedule. Please add new entries to the holding area at the end of the section lists, to maintain chronological sorting (so that older entries there are scheduled first). Unsuccessful nominations can be archived after 10 days of no discussion.

Please be sure to sign nominations with four tildes: ~~~~

Instructions

Suggested criteria

Though there are no firm criteria, in general, ideal AFI articles are:

  • Highly important topics. Anything that has top or high importance to a WikiProject is likely highly important.
  • Interesting to the general public. This can be evidenced by page views. Nominations with less than 200 views per day rarely succeed.
  • Needing of improvement, with expansion opportunity. Stubs; start-class, and short C-class articles are the most ideal for improvement. Give due consideration before nominating higher-quality articles.
  • Not targets of controversy. Keep in mind that controversial articles (articles that are the subject of heated discussion, edit warring, or questioned notability) can be very difficult to improve within a week.

Review process

  • Any user may vote on the suitability of nominations to be listed at AFI.
  • Please use the code #'''Support''' or #'''Oppose''', add your reasoning, and sign with ~~~~. You may also add comments. Improperly formatted votes may be missed by the bot.
  • MusikBot will mark nominations with at least 3 net support votes (3 more support votes than oppose votes) as approved and those with at least 3 net oppose votes as unapproved. The bot will automatically list successful nominations and archive all closed nominations.
  • Registered members of the project may choose to override the bot at their discretion in instances where straight vote totals do not appear to reflect community consensus.

Nominating an article

  1. Check that the article you want to nominate isn't already listed.
  2. Post the nomination at the top of the list in the appropriate category, using this code: 
    ===(Article title)===
{{AFI nom|article=(Article title)|class=unknown|hits=(Number of daily hits)}}
*(Nomination text) ~~~~
  3. Fill out the parts in parentheses. You can find an article's class on its talk page and its approximate daily hits using this tool.
  4. Please do not support your own nominations.

Jethro Tull (band) – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 1500 daily hits

Major rock band, 60 million albums sold worldwide including 5 platinum, active for nearly 45 years. I have recently identified problems on the talk page and downgraded its assessment from B to Start, but in summary, the article needs major work on sourcing and POV. I would ultimately like to see this reach GA status, but even a day's serious work will help. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:24, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

After finding the article quality going backwards again due to IP edits, I have had to put a {{fanpov}} tag on this article, which has been edit warred over with by IPs. I think the need to stop this article descending further into start-class quality has increased. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:56, 19 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
