User:beetricks/What makes the quintessential article?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The quintessential article keeps the readers and Wikipedians happy—it quenches their thirst!

The quintessential article is literally, to put it simple, that article. It has everything an article wishes it had: the long, juicy length; a bomb lead section; sections of sentences and paragraphs adorned with the most trustworthy citations, all down in the References section with multiple columns, etc. They outshine every featured article (This star symbolizes the featured content on Wikipedia.) and have versions in (almost) every language available on this damn website called wikipedia.org. NO CLEANUP TEMPLATES are allowed within the past 6 months. There is a scale I made discriminating the quality of articles:

  1. Godawful – stands against everything the general guidelines and policies has stood for
  2. Bad – little notability and purpose, problematic as hell.
  3. NOT GOOD™ – Based off Anthony Fantano.
  4. Okay – Merely exciting. They might get a cleanup template every now and then, and edits can easily be made with care. Pretty much the majority of articles.
  5. Satisfactory – It is good.
  6. The Quintessential Article(s) – The article(s). (see Japan, Franz Kafka, and Oxygen)
