FAMEPedia:FAQ/Featured articles

What is a featured article?
A long, comprehensive, and well-written article approved by several FAMEPedia editors as meeting a set of requirements.

Can I trust a featured article?

 * Most of it? Yes.
 * An arbitrarily chosen claim in it? No.
 * All of it? No.

Misunderstandings and phrasings that are likely to be misunderstood can be added to any FAMEPedia article by anyone, and they might not be noticed for a long time.

Can I create a featured article?
If you are good at writing, and know a lot about a specific topic, it's possible. Create an article, ask for feedback to it, and ask if it's good enough to be a featured article. Note that just adding a featured star to an article to pretend it's featured, is not allowed. All featured articles must have an approval at FAMEPedia:Featured article candidates.

Can I edit a featured article?
Yes. Many featured articles are, however, semi-protected. This means you need a user account, you must have made at least 10 edits with the account, and the account must be at least 4 days old.
