[[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates]] has been getting busier and
is turning out a little more than one article a day at present. These
are articles that theoretically meet the standard of
[[Wikipedia:What is a featured article]] (rather than, say,
[[Wikipedia:The perfect article]] and are voted to being on
[[Wikipedia:Featured articles]] over the course of a week's straw-polls,
feedback and improvement. These are the pool of articles that Raul654
draws the Main Page feature from.

If you're looking for a checklist for reviewing an article,
[[Wikipedia:What is a featured article]] gives the sort of standard
that just about any article should aspire to. Could be useful?
