Wikipedia:Proposed very good articles
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
Very good articles are the highest status of articles at Simple English Wikipedia. In order to become a very good article, there are certain criteria that the article must meet. These criteria can be found at Wikipedia:Requirements for very good articles.
This page is to discuss articles to decide whether they meet the VGA criteria. When an article is posted here for discussion, it should have the {{pvgood}} tag placed on it. This will place the article in Category:Proposed very good articles.
Articles which are accepted by the community as very good articles have their {{pvgood}} tag replaced with {{vgood}}. They are also listed on Wikipedia:Very good articles and are placed in Category:Very good articles.
Articles that are below the very good article criteria can be nominated to be a good article at Wikipedia:Proposed good articles.
If you choose to participate in the discussion/voting process for promoting articles, it is very important that you know and understand the criteria for very good articles. Voting for an article is a promise to the community that you have thoroughly read the criteria and the article in question. You should be prepared to fully explain the reasons for your vote of support or oppose. This process should not be taken lightly, and if there is concern that a user is not taking the process seriously and/or is voting without reason, they may have their privilege to participate taken away.
In order to make sure the article you are proposing meets the required size, use this tool from Wikimedia Toolserver. Please notice that the text size is important, not the wikitext size.

[change] Proposals for very good articles
List your proposals here, newer ones at the top. Each proposal should be in a subheading. After 2 weeks from being listed, a proposal must either be voted on, or removed from this section. If it is removed, the {{pvgood}} tag should be removed too. Articles that are ready before the 2 weeks time, can of course be voted on earlier.

This has been a on-going project for me. I have made 100+ edits to it (as well as other editors who did work hard on it too). With that, came much work. The whole article is referenced (and none of them were copied from en:WP). It contains none of these tricky words. I have used Microsoft Word, as well as several other places to copyedit and check grammar, spell-check, etc. The article is long enough, has several interwiki links, a very good "Other websites" section, has categories, images, important terms are linked and there is no red links left, these are all requirements for VGA. The only other is the requirement is 2. comprehensiveness. As far as that goes, it is very simple. It may still have some complex words or long sentences, but few. It may (or may not) be fully ready, but I have decided to throw it out there and see what you all think about. Is it ready, or what needs to be done. Thanks -- ApEtSIG 06:49, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
[change] Voting
Articles should be added below, newer ones at the top. Votes last for one week. Remember, in order to be promoted, an article must have a minimum of 6 named users participate in the vote and 80% (or higher) of the voters must support promotion.
