Good pages are pages which are considered to be of good quality but which are not yet, or are unlikely to reach featured article quality.

It is a way of tracking and improving pages to a point where they can become highlighted content, as well as improving the standard of content on Appropedia.

Wikipedia's model

This is a suggestion based on Wikipedia:Project:Good articles. The Wikipedia page states the following (and it will probably apply here, with minor changes):

Good articles are articles which are considered to be of good quality but which are not yet, or are unlikely to reach featured article quality. Good articles should meet the good article criteria and have passed through the good article nomination process successfully. In short, they should be well written, factually accurate and verifiable, broad in coverage, neutral in point of view, stable, and illustrated, where possible, by relevant images with suitable copyright licenses. Good articles need not be as comprehensive as featured articles, but they should not omit any major facets of the topic: a comparison of the criteria for good and featured articles describes further differences.

For now, we can do all this on one page.

Criteria

An initial suggestion for criteria is:

  • Tidy - no major unfinished or confusing sections.
  • Useful - some relevance, great or small, to improving the world.
  • Layout - uses sections appropriately, so it is easy for any reader to understand the purpose of each section.
