Wikinews:Featured article candidates
|
|
This is where the Wikinews community selects new featured articles.
Featured articles should, at a minimum:
- Have pictures (they should make a good visual impression)
- Be well-written
- Cover the news event comprehensively
In addition, we should try to choose articles with these features:
- Good collaboration
- Quality original material
- Better coverage than mainstream outlets
Add suggestions for new articles below. If you are the author, or an author, please include a note that it is your own work. Please justify why you think an article should be featured.
- Nominations are discussed for a minimum of seven days. Please discuss each nomination and try to come to a consensus before listing an article on Wikinews:Featured articles. Please add {{FAC}} to listed articles' talk pages, and add {{FA}} to successful candidates. See the archive directory for past nominations.
- There is no upper limit to how long a nomination can be open. Newly-featured articles are often featured on social media, so it is advisable not to close more than two or three in quick succession. Likewise, multiple articles in a single nomination are discouraged.
- Note: Do not nominate articles that have not yet been archived.

Iranian International Master Dorsa Derakhshani discusses her chess career with Wikinews[edit]
I reviewed this article. Kept my interest; the length did not become a problem for me, though I'm aware it's long. I thought when reviewing it, it was FA material, and now that we've had some time to absorb it, I still think so. --Pi zero (talk) 20:27, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
