Wait!

Before nominating an article, please ensure it meets all the featured article criteria:

Prose must be engaging and of a professional standard.
The article must be representative of the relevant literature on the subject.
All claims must be cited to high-quality, reliable sources, with consistently-formatted inline citations using one of the approved methods.
The article must be neutral, stable and follow the style guidelines.
The lead must adequately summarize [an appropriately structured] article body.
Images must be adequately tagged and sourced, follow the image use policy and, where applicable, the non-free content criteria for inclusion.

If you are unsure that the article meets these standards, Peer Review may be a more appropriate venue. The FAC delegates can remove unprepared nominations at their discretion after at least one one reviewer has suggested it be withdrawn.

Further advice

Make sure you have consulted significant contributors to the article prior to nomination.
Double-check for potential copyright problems, including the inadvertent copying of information from other sources, and too-close paraphrasing.
Finally, to help resolve the FAC backlog, making it more likely that reviewers will see your nomination, please consider reviewing existing candidates, especially those listed on this template. Good luck!
