Featured Articles in Wikipedia

This page highlights particularly well-written and complete Wikipedia articles. As there are hundreds of thousands of articles on Wikipedia, we can use your help in keeping track of the great ones. To nominate an article to be put on this page, add it to the list at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates, where it will be reviewed for style, prose, completeness, accuracy and neutrality. While the articles listed here are some of our best, we are always working to improve them even further, so be bold in updating articles. At present, there are 702 featured articles, out of a total of 2,405,956 articles on Wikipedia. That means roughly 1 in 960 articles is listed here. For further statistics, see Wikipedia:Featured article statistics. To request an article to be removed from this page, list it on Wikipedia:Featured article removal candidates; removed articles can be found at Wikipedia:Former featured articles.

Articles are marked in the following ways:

  • Emboldened article titles refer to articles that have been featured on the main page.
  • Spoken content icon marks articles that have an audio recording of the article text. See the top or bottom of the relevant article for a link to that recording.
