Article development
Newly created articles are checked for obvious problems by members of the New pages patrol the criteria for inclusion and/or to tag them for any glaring issues that need attention. Article classification codes are assigned (on the article's talk page ) based on an assessment of the article's quality. The assessment class codes may be updated by any contributor as the article is improved.
Typically, an article may begin with a Stub-class Start-class C-class B-class peer review GA-Class Good Article ) status. At each step, the nominator is expected to implement the feedback they receive.
Articles achieving GA status are then potential candidates for FA-Class Featured Article ) status. Examples of featured articles are viewable daily at Wikipedia's Main Page .

Today's featured picture
Earth planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life . It is the densest planet in the Solar System and the largest and most massive of its four rocky planets . About 29 percent of Earth's surface is land , with the remaining 71 percent covered with water and much of Earth's polar regions covered in ice . Earth's interior is active with a solid-iron inner core , a liquid outer core that generates Earth's magnetic field , and a convective mantle that drives plate tectonics . Earth formed more than 4.5 billion years ago . Within the first billion years of Earth's history , life appeared in the oceans and began to affect Earth's atmosphere and surface. Since then, the combination of Earth's distance from the Sun, its physical properties and its geological history have allowed life to evolve and thrive, including more than 8 billion humans as of 2024. Earth is orbited by one permanent natural satellite, the Moon , which orbits Earth at a radius of 384,400 km (238,900 mi) and is roughly a quarter as wide as Earth. This photograph of Earth straddling the lunar horizon was taken in 2015 by NASA 's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter while located 134 km (83 mi) above the crater Compton , visible in the foreground. To capture the image, the spacecraft had to be rolled 67 degrees to its side, and slewed with the direction of travel to maximize the width of the lunar horizon, while traveling more than 1600 m/s (3600 mph) relative to the surface.
