Our success stories

Featured Articles (FAs) are the highest quality articles on Wikipedia. They receive careful vetting from the community and must satisfy rigorous criteria regarding their comprehensiveness, accuracy, neutrality, referencing, and writing quality. Only FAs may appear as "Today's Featured Article" on the Main Page, which has 4 to 7 million page views each day.

Examples of Featured Articles in medicine (click "show")

• Lung cancer
• Alzheimer's disease
• Chagas disease
• Down syndrome

• Meningitis
• Poliomyelitis
• Osteochondritis dissecans
• Cholangiocarcinoma

• Pneumonia
• Tuberculosis
• Pulmonary contusion
• Subarachnoid hemorrhage

• Coeliac disease
• Cystic fibrosis
• Anabolic steroid
• Acute myeloid leukemia

• Hippocrates
• Médecins Sans Frontières
• Frank Macfarlane Burnet
• Michael Woodruff

Good Articles (GAs) and A-class articles are vetted less rigorously than Featured Articles and, hence, are typically of lesser quality. Although some GAs are developed further FAs, this is not always appropriate. Independent evaluations suggest that GAs in the sciences are of reliably high quality.

Examples of Good Articles and A-class articles in medicine (click "show")

• Myocardial infarction
• Tay-Sachs disease
• Homeopathy
• Animal testing

• Ascending cholangitis
• Rhabdomyolysis
• Solar urticaria
• Fetal alcohol syndrome

• Concussion
• Crohn's disease
• Ethylene glycol poisoning
• Huntington's disease

• Self-injury
• Subcutaneous emphysema
• Renal tubular acidosis
• Hospice care in the United States

• Blood pressure
• Wilson's disease
• Familial hypercholesterolemia
• Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis

We also maintain a list of our most viewed articles, which may help you choose which article(s) to work on.
