Archives

This page is for nominating articles to be listed as articles for improvement, from which the weekly collaborations are pulled. Any article or list on Wikipedia can be nominated, although articles that do not meet the suggested criteria are unlikely to gain consensus.

Instructions

Suggested criteria

Though there are no firm criteria, in general, ideal AFI articles are:

Highly important topics. Anything that has top or high importance to a WikiProject is likely highly important.
Interesting to the general public. This can be evidenced by page views. Nominations with less than 200 views per day rarely succeed.
Needing of improvement, with expansion opportunity. Stubs; start-class, and short C-class articles are the most ideal for improvement. Give due consideration before nominating higher-quality articles.
Not targets of controversy. Keep in mind that controversial articles (articles that are the subject of heated discussion, edit warring, or questioned notability) can be very difficult to improve within a week.

Review process

Any user may vote on the suitability of nominations to be listed at AFI.
Please use the code #'''Support''' or #'''Oppose''', add your reasoning, and sign with ~~~~. You may also add comments. Improperly formatted votes may be missed by the bot.
MusikBot will mark nominations with at least 3 net support votes (3 more support votes than oppose votes) as approved and those with at least 3 net oppose votes as unapproved. The bot will automatically list successful nominations and archive all closed nominations.
Registered members of the project may choose to override the bot at their discretion in instances where straight vote totals do not appear to reflect community consensus.

Nominating an article

Check that the article you want to nominate isn't already listed.

Post the nomination at the top of the list in the appropriate category, using this code:

===(Article title)===
{{AFI nom|article=(Article title)|class=unknown|hits=(Number of daily hits)}}
*(Nomination text) ~~~~

Fill out the parts in parentheses. You can find an article's class on its talk page and its approximate daily hits using this tool.
Please do not support your own nominations.

While this level 4 article has undergone improvement before, I feel it is still not particularly organised, has a casual tone, and lacks citations across the article, especially in the physics section. Simsarmy (talk) 20:43, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Road Not Taken

The Road Not Taken – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 1079 daily hits

This is arguably one of Frost's most famous poems if not of all poetry, at least in the United States, and therefore I feel like the article needs to be improved. The article has some issues currently—it is fairly short, has analysis and popular culture sections that need expanding. I feel like the article should not lean so heavily into the one interpretation of the poem as ironic, as it seems to do in the reception section; while it may be more "correct," at least by how Frost wrote it, but the popular interpretation of the poem is valid in its own right. Honestly, I feel like a lot of the content relating to how the text is misunderstood should be under the analysis section instead. FieryRaven (talk) 16:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
