From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Below is a list of articles which I've taken through the various Wikipedia processes together with the dates they achieved a particular milestone. They range from newly created or expanded pages nominated for the Did You Know section on the Main Page, to more established articles that were submitted for Good and Featured content. I have either created or significantly contributed to many of the subjects listed here, and articles which I've taken through more than one process appear in each of the appropriate tables.

[edit]

Featured articles (FAs) are considered to be the best articles Wikipedia has to offer, as determined by its editors, and are used as a benchmark for writing other content. To reach Featured Article status, an article must meet the Featured Article criteria, which requires its subject matter to be accurate, neutral, complete, and well-written. They are reviewed as Featured Article candidates by experienced editors, and if promoted have a chance to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured article.

# Article title Date promoted
1 Royal National College for the Blind[1][2][3] 18 August 2010
2 Murder of Joanna Yeates[4] 1 April 2012
3 A Journey[5] 6 July 2012
4 Jo Stafford 24 August 2013

Good Articles

[edit]

Good articles (GAs) are articles regarded as being of good quality, but not yet qualified as having the quality for featured article status. To attain Good Article status an article must satisfy the Good Article criteria and go through the Good Article nomination process.

Did You Know

[edit]

Did You Know (DYK) is a section that appears on the Main Page, showcasing some of Wikipedia's newest or recently expanded content. Articles which are submitted to Did You Know undergo an informal assessment before featuring in the section. Articles appearing in this list are largely self-nominations unless otherwise stated. For a list of DYK alerts (which include the facts that appeared on the main page), see User:This is Paul/DYK facts.[8][9]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Royal National College for the Blind, actually my first attempt at an FA nomination, made history as one of several promoted on 18 August 2010 which took Wikipedia to the milestone of 3,000 Featured Articles.
  2. ^ I was asked to submit Royal National College for the Blind for FA by PaulLargo, who had to go on an indefinite Wikibreak due to work commitments.
  3. ^ Royal National College for the Blind appeared as Today's Featured Article on 19 October 2011.
  4. ^ Murder of Joanna Yeates is a co-nomination with BabbaQ, who did a lot of the early work on this article.
  5. ^ A Journey appeared as Today's Featured Article on 6 May 2013.
  6. ^ Although I did not nominate A Journey for GA, I had contributed significantly to its content and was invited to be a co-nominee by Wackywace.
  7. ^ Although I wrote most of this article, The National was actually nominated for Good Article status by JJARichardson, but I wanted to help get it promoted.
  8. ^ Individual DYK alerts appear for every article apart from Parkinson's Sunday Supplement because a separate alert was not generated for it.
  9. ^ The Ian Blair entry should link to Iain Blair the writer rather than Ian Blair the former Metropolitan Police Commissioner.
  10. ^ ATV Today was nominated for DYK by HowardBerry.
  11. ^ a b Weekend Wogan and Parkinson's Sunday Supplement appeared as a double DYK fact on 24 March 2010.
  12. ^ a b Coronation Street Live (2000) and Five Daughters are not a double DYK, but happened to appear on the Main Page on the same day.
  13. ^ The DYK entry for Coronation Street Live (2000) appeared under the article's original title, which was Coronation Street: 40th anniversary live episode.
  14. ^ The Secrets of Scientology was nominated for DYK by Cirt.
  15. ^ In its DYK entry Ian Oliver appeared alongside Craig Oliver, an article I wrote in December 2010, but which was not put forward for the section at the time of its creation.
  16. ^ a b Smooth 70s and Absolute Radio 70s appeared as a double DYK fact on 1 September 2012.
  17. ^ a b The hook for this DYK entry – "... that Smooth 70s is the UK's only national 1970s radio station, while Absolute Radio 70s claims to be the UK's only station dedicated to the decade?" – was described as "inscrutably clever" by one user.
  18. ^ Having reviewed Murder of Celine Figard for DYK, BrownHairedGirl described it as "the best article I have seen amongst the DYK nominations".
  19. ^ The Girl, a biopic of events in the life of Alfred Hitchcock was coincidentally a DYK on the day Hitchcock – another film about the director – opened at cinemas in the UK.
  20. ^ Jack Taylor was started by GonbeFAN, then expanded and nominated by me.
  21. ^ Murder of Helen McCourt was started by BabbaQ, who very kindly added me as a co-nominee after I did some work on it.
  22. ^ Started by Another Believer, Death and state funeral of Nelson Mandela was nominated for DYK by Tentinator, and I was one of several editors who received credit for their contributions.
  23. ^ Johann Lamont was the first newly promoted Good Article I submitted to DYK. It was started some years ago by PatGallacher, then expanded and taken through the GA process by me.
  24. ^ Rona Fairhead was a collaboration between myself, Ilovetonga and HJ Mitchell, and nominated for DYK by HJ Mitchell.
  25. ^ UKIP: The First 100 Days was a collaboration between myself and The Almightey Drill, and nominated by The Almightey Drill.
  26. ^ Per Holknekt was created and expanded by BabbaQ, but I was a co-nominee as one of several users to assist with a copyedit.
  27. ^ I nominated Frank Chacksfield for DYK after it was expanded by Ghmyrtle.
  28. ^ Liquid nitrogen cocktail was created by Geau, then expanded and nominated for DYK by me.
  29. ^ Skyfall was created by Igordebraga and Caladonia, and nominated for DYK by Hahc21 and myself.
  30. ^ Skyfall appeared on the main page on 23 October 2012 to coincide with the premier of the 23rd James Bond film, Skyfall.
  31. ^ Note that more specific dates do not appear here since In the news topics can be featured for several days.
