"Featured articles are considered to be the best articles in
Wikipedia, as determined by Wikipedia's editors.
Before being listed here, articles are reviewed at Wikipedia:Featured
article candidates for accuracy, neutrality, completeness, and
style according to our featured article criteria.
At present, there are 1,914 featured articles, of a total of
2,253,633 articles on Wikipedia. Thus, about one in 1,170 articles is
listed here. Articles that no longer meet the criteria can be proposed
for improvement or removal at Wikipedia:Featured article
review.A small bronze star (
)
on the top right corner of an article's page indicates that the article
is featured. Additionally, if the current article is featured in
another language version, a star will appear next to the language page
link, in the list on the left of the page".
The article is held at http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Bosco
and is, of course in Spanish. The citation reads: "
Juan Bosco es un artículo destacado,
lo que significa que una versión suya ha sido
identificada
como uno de los mejores artículos que la comunidad de Wikipedia
en
español ha producido. Si encuentras alguna forma para mejorarlo,
eres
bienvenido a contribuir", which means: "John
Bosco is a Feature
Article,
it means that a version of it has been identified as one of the best
articles of the community of Wikipedia in Spanish. If you find any way
to improve it, you are welcome with your contributions". It has
been featured as a model for writing biographies.
Wikipedia is now judged to be the largest commons (freely
available and open to contribution by all) collection in the history of
the planet, surpassing by an order of magnitude the previously known
largest collection, the Yong-Le Encyclopedia commissioned by the
Emperor of China in 1403, which ran to 23,000 volumes. Only one
copy was ever made of the Yong-Le.
Congratulations Al!
