Good Articles and images
[edit]Per the lead of this essay: "Good articles" are required to have an image (unless it is impossible to obtain one).
Per WP:GACR6 footnote 6: The presence of media is not a requirement. However, if media with acceptable copyright status is appropriate and readily available, then such media should be provided.
This has been part of the GA criteria since April 2018 (diff).
Suggest altering the lead to reflect this. – Reidgreg (talk) 23:36, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
- That's just unfortunate, slightly confusing language. A Good article nominee must meet all six criteria to be passed. Please look at Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles (look for the part: "If any of the criteria are not met, the reviewer has two options: ..."): if the article can have an image ("Illustrated, if possible"), it must have an image, or it can't become a GA. It's "not a requirement" when the requirement is impossible to meet due to unavailability of media, but if media is available, then it is, in fact, a criterion that needs to be fulfilled for a pass, i.e., a requirement. It is only not an absolute requirement.Please see Special:Diff/1282472743. —Alalch E. 16:44, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
