[edit] Criteria
Featured articles should, at a minimum:
- Be formatted correctly (including sources)
- Have pictures (they should make a good visual impression)
- Be well-written - see the Wikinews:Style guide
- Cover the news event comprehensively without rambling
In addition, we should try to choose articles that were worked on by several editors, to highlight the collaborative nature of Wikinews. We should also make an effort to find the best examples of original reporting: scoops exclusive to Wikinews, extensive coverage, and excellent research.
