Criteria for a Quality Article

A quality article should have the following attributes:

The following do not qualify as Quality Article candidates:

  • Stubs
  • Talk pages
  • Anything in the Battlestar Wiki, Quotes, Sources, or User namespace
  • Past, Current, or Future Featured articles that have been marked.

Identifying a Potential Quality Article

Quality Articles should be identified as such, so that a master list can be created.

Essentially, this would be done in the following way:

  1. A contributor tags an article page with {{quality candidate}}, then adds a note to the corresponding article's talk page explaining their reasoning.
  2. Involved members of the community will then discuss the candidate article. Typically, they should be as critical as possible.
  3. If the consensus is that the article is of potential quality, then the discussion will evolve into modifying the article in such a way as to polish the article so as to achieve full "Quality Article" status.
  4. Once this is done, the article will be changed to {{quality article}}.
  5. The discusstion will then be archived and the {{qa diff|Article|DiffID Number}} tag will be placed so the article can be tracked for when it did get it's QA status.
