This star symbolizes the featured content on English Wikipedia.
Featured articles are considered to be the best articles English Wikipedia has to offer, as determined by the editors there. They are used by editors as examples for writing other articles. Before being listed here, articles are reviewed as featured article candidates for accuracy, neutrality, completeness, and style according to the English Wikipedia featured article criteria.
On non-mobile versions of our website, a small bronze star icon () 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, a star will appear next to the corresponding entry in the Languages list in the sidebar (a user preference allows toggling this on/off under Gadgets > Appearance).
Why is this list here, on Simple?
The red-linked articles on this list are properly-sourced and well-written articles on many subjects. They are low-hanging fruit, ready to be copied and simplified for this project. Editors who are unsure where to start may simply look at the list and find something that is of interest to them.
The next step is to actually bring the article over to Simple. Full instructions for how to do this are here.
Main page subpages are listed on Category:Selected articles. They are redirected from Main Page/Article n, where n is a number from zero to the total number of VGAs minus one.
