Masseypedia:Good article criteria

The Good article criteria are a set list of standards used by Masseypedia to judge an article's quality.

Criteria
A good article is:


 * 1) Well written: the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
 * 2) Verifiable with no original research:
 * 3) it contains a list of all references (sources of information);
 * 4) all inline citations are from reliable sources;
 * 5) it contains no original research; and
 * 6) it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
 * 7) Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
 * 8) Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day
 * 9) Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio: media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.

What cannot be a good article?

 * Disambiguation pages and stubs: these pages cannot meet the criteria.
 * Featured articles: a good article loses its status when promoted to a featured article. Accordingly, demoted featured articles are not automatically graded as good articles and must be reassessed for quality.
