A good article (GA) is an article that meets a core set of editorial standards but is not featured article quality. [[Good articles]] meet the [[good article criteria]], passing through the [[good article nomination process]] successfully. They are well written, contain factually accurate and verifiable information, are broad in coverage, neutral in point of view, stable, and illustrated, where possible, by relevant images with suitable copyright licenses. Good articles do not have to be as comprehensive as featured articles, but they should not omit any major facets of the topic: a comparison of the criteria for good and featured articles describes further differences.
