MicroVault:VA

Good articles are considered to be the best articles on MicroVault as determined by MicroVault's admins. Before being listed as a good article, articles must be assessed for accuracy, neutrality, comprehensiveness, structure and style. This project is designed to help improve article quality on MicroVault. Currently, there are ' verified articles out of a total of ' articles in MicroWiki. An infobox with a red symbol on the top of an article's page indicates that the article is of good quality and has been verified.

Criteria
A good article is one that is:


 * 1) Well-written: its prose is engaging, coherent, clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct. There should be a minimal number of red links.
 * 2) Comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details, is of substantial length but does not go into unnecessary detail, remaining focused on the main topic.
 * 3) Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without bias.
 * 4) Illustrated: it should, where possible, be illustrated with appropriate images with succinct captions.
 * 5) Well-structured: it should have a concise introduction that summarizes the topic and a system of hierarchical section headings with a substantial but not overwhelming table of contents.

Unlike other micronational indexes, MicroVault realizes that most micronations may only have resources and references from their own community, and that's totally fine and something MicroVault supports. Therefore, accuracy upon determining references and such are not a part of our criteria.

Process
Before nominating an article, nominators may wish to receive feedback by asking an admin or even a fellow contributor. Nominators must be sufficiently familiar with the subject matter to deal with objections during the verification process. Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult the author and/or regular editors of the article prior to a nomination. Nominators are expected to respond positively to constructive criticism and to make an effort to address objections promptly.

If a nominator feels that an article satisfies all the criteria, the article can be nominated by any user on the nomination page making sure that they provide the title of the article, a link to it and the signature of the nominating user. A user should only nominate one article each week. The article will then be reviewed by the community and voted on over a period of 24 hours after being nominated, with nominators and authors of the article being encouraged to respond to constructive criticism and to address objections promptly. While the number of votes in support or opposition are the main thing taken into account, the arguments on each side will also be considered. While arguments are considered, an article will become verified if it receives more support than opposition. However, those articles can still have their verified status removed by administrators.
