This is David Fuchs' guide to writing what I've termed "audited" content—good and featured articles (GAs and FAs). This is but one of many articles addressing the subject of writing quality content on Wikipedia, which will be linked below as further reading. The original version of this advice dates back over twelve years, but in late 2020 I decided to rewrite it to remove some of my bad jokes and update it with more received wisdom and practical tips. I think anyone can write a good or featured article, but everyone's skills vary and it may be easier or tougher. What follows is my advice at every step.
