Proposed good articles "Good articles" are articles that are better than other articles, according to many people. Good articles have criteria/requirements that the article needs to have. Read Wikipedia:Requirements for good articles for information about the criteria. This page is to talk about articles to see if they meet Good Article criteria. When an article is posted here, it should have the {{pgood}} tag put on it. This will put the article in Category:Proposed good articles. Please only put one article in at a time. Articles that are accepted by the community as good articles will have their {{pgood}} tag replaced with {{good}}. They are also shown on Wikipedia:Good articles and are put in Category:Good articles. Articles that are not accepted by the community as good articles have their {{good}} tag removed. Articles that are better than the good article criteria can be proposed to be a "very good article" at Wikipedia:Proposed very good articles. This tool can be used to find the size of an article. |
Joining the talk If you choose to join in the talk about good articles, it is very important that you know and understand the criteria for good articles. Discussing an article is a promise to the community that you have read the criteria and the article in question. You should prepare to completely explain the reasons for your comments. This process should not be taken lightly. If people think that a user is not taking the process seriously and/or is commenting without reason, they may not be allowed to join in any more. |

I have done some work on to this article, mainly improving from suggestion from the previous PGA, and some simplifying. I feel lke it deserves another chance.--Cactus🌵 spiky ツ 07:46, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
- Several problems with the page:
- Athena's symbol is the owl, the wisest of the birds. Based on what is it the wisest. This needs clarification.
- The intro needs good re-organization or maybe it needs some content addition and reworking. It sounds a bit odd on read.
- There are many stories about Athena's birth. But it only describes one, a short context on others maybe a good idea.
- As the protector of the safety of kings, Athena became the goddess of good counsel, prudent control and war. 'counsel' and 'prudent' are complex words that might be better simplified.
- Titles and patronages barely talks about titles.
- I'd say it's almost there but few things might need more sources, and a little bit minor correction in the later sections would be great. BRP ever 11:56, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
