Wikipedia:Proposed good articles

Proposed good articles

This star represents the proposed good content on Wikipedia.

"Good articles" are articles that are better than other articles, according to many people. Good articles have criteria/requirements that the article needs to have. Read Wikipedia:Requirements for good articles for information about the criteria.

This page is to talk about articles to see if they meet Good Article criteria. When an article is posted here, it should have the {{pgood}} tag put on it. This will put the article in Category:Proposed good articles. Please only put one article in at a time.

Articles that are accepted by the community as good articles will have their {{pgood}} tag replaced with {{good}}. They are also shown on Wikipedia:Good articles and are put in Category:Good articles. Articles that are not accepted by the community as good articles have their {{good}} tag removed.

Articles that are better than the good article criteria can be proposed to be a "very good article" at Wikipedia:Proposed very good articles.

This tool can be used to find the size of an article.

Joining the talk

If you choose to join in the talk about good articles, it is very important that you know and understand the criteria for good articles. Discussing an article is a promise to the community that you have read the criteria and the article in question. You should prepare to completely explain the reasons for your comments. This process should not be taken lightly.

If people think that a user is not taking the process seriously and/or is commenting without reason, they may not be allowed to join in any more.

I would like to nominate this article that I translated to good article status. I believe it meets the standards of a good article and is willing to improve it further. PieWriter (talk) 01:07, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not a bad start, there were some chunks of info that didn't have any sources supporting them so I've added [source?] tags in areas that need sources. There's some complex words/wording used that could either be simplified or linked (blue links): "culinary aspects", "fermentation", "exporting", "shriveled", "production was mechanized", "technology revolutionized", "tannins" and "a person to lack sulfite oxidase". I'll have a more thorough list of complex wording but these popped up after glancing at the article. Definitely on the right track though! :) TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 03:05, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I manage to source and simplify all of what you said PieWriter (talk) 07:03, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a good candidate; I am not a wine expert, but I think what we might want: If we are talking about different kinds of grapes, we should really link to that kind of grape. Also, I don't know, but white wine is usually made from white grapes? - other than that, liely a few more references... Eptalon (talk) 08:57, 23 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The grapes (white grapes like Chardonnay, and Riesling) are linked in the article. PieWriter (talk) 01:54, 24 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Great work! Going along with what Eptalon said below, I found two pieces that needs to be sourced, I've tagged them accordingly. @Eptalon: Are there any areas in specific that you think need to be sourced? TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 16:04, 23 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the Intro I think there is a sentence that white wine has been produced for at least 4.000 years. That needs a references (or should be removed). In DeWp I read that the first wines likely were red, and that the moment when white ones appeared can't be determined easily. Eptalon (talk) 21:56, 23 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Working on it, thanks for the feedback! PieWriter (talk) 01:51, 24 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Eptalon@TDKR Chicago 101 Done PieWriter (talk) 02:23, 24 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely closer now. I found three pieces that would benefit from being sourced. I also noticed that the subsection’s name “Antiquity” is a not very simple word. Also the title “Geographical Distribution” could be simplified too. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 19:24, 27 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, will work on it. PieWriter (talk) 00:39, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@TDKR Chicago 101 done PieWriter (talk) 00:56, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

After another read I believe all my issues have been addressed and I thank PieWriter for their hard work at getting this article up to scratch for GA status.

@TDKR Chicago 101 I am just curious, when will this close? PieWriter (talk) 09:13, 6 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Since there's a lack of user/community activity it might take a bit since I feel an article should get promoted with a few users supporting it. If there was a good turnout during a nomination discussion (4-5 users at least) it would normally take 3 weeks. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 16:40, 6 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
