Each section should have a clear focus and be written in a concise and informative manner.

Actually enough information to be explained for the topic and be of reasonable length

Featured Articles should have comprehensive coverage of the topic. This means that it should contain all the necessary information without being too short or too long.

Must be relevant as a topic

A featured article must be relevant to the readers and provide valuable information. The topic should be of interest to a wide range of readers and not covered extensively elsewhere on the website or the internet. The relevance of an article is evaluated based on its context, and it should be important enough to the readership that it remains relevant for a reasonable period of time. For example, a current event that is receiving a lot of media attention may be relevant in the short term, but may become less relevant as time passes. The article should provide information that is not readily available elsewhere and should be well-written and informative.

Provides a summary of the screamer in the lead

It is important to have a concise and clear summary of the main points and topics covered in the article. This summary should be placed at the beginning of the article, usually in the introduction or lead section, and should give the reader a brief overview of the entire content of the article. The summary should be comprehensive enough to provide readers with a good idea of what the article is about, but not too detailed that it becomes overwhelming or redundant with the rest of the article. It should be written in a way that is easily understandable and accessible to all readers, regardless of their level of expertise in the subject matter. The summary should also be engaging and interesting, with a hook or attention-grabbing statement that entices readers to continue reading the rest of the article. A clear and informative summary is crucial for a featured article as it helps readers quickly assess whether the article is relevant to their needs and interests, and it also provides a roadmap for the article, allowing readers to navigate the content and better understand its structure and organization.

The Manual of Style is a crucial component for any featured article. It's a set of guidelines that provide writers with a clear framework for formatting and organizing articles on the wiki. These guidelines ensure that articles are written in a consistent and clear manner, making them easy to read and understand for all readers. The Manual of Style is particularly important for articles about screamers and shock sites, where clarity and professionalism are essential. When writing an article, it's important to follow the guidelines laid out in the Manual of Style to ensure that the article meets the high standards of quality expected of a featured article.

Not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags

An article must not contain any tags or templates indicating that it requires improvement or attention in specific areas. These tags can include "{{cleanup}}", "{{stub}}", or ""{{citation needed}}"". A featured article should be reviewed and edited extensively to ensure that it is a polished and high-quality piece of content that meets the highest standards of accuracy and completeness. All information should be properly cited and sources appropriately attributed. The absence of improvement tags is important because it demonstrates that the article has been thoroughly reviewed and edited for accuracy, clarity, and completeness.

By doing so, editors can ensure that the article is a polished and credible piece of content that meets the standards of a featured article.

Use of multimedia

The use of multimedia, including images, videos, and audio recordings, is an essential criterion for creating a featured article. Adding multimedia to an article not only supplements the text but also helps readers better understand the topic. Images, for example, should be high-quality and relevant to the topic and the text they are reading, while videos and audio recordings should be relevant, high-quality, and appropriately cited. Additionally, the multimedia should be seamlessly integrated into the article without distracting from the content or making it difficult to navigate. In essence, multimedia elements should add value to the reader's experience and enhance their understanding of the topic, making the article both informative and enjoyable to read. The use of multimedia must be of reasonable amount.

They require verifiability

Verifiability is a key criterion for featured articles on Screamer Wiki, which requires that all statements and information presented in the article should be supported by various sources. This principle requires that all information presented in the article is backed up by reliable sources. This helps to ensure that the content is factual, accurate, and trustworthy, and avoids the inclusion of personal opinions or original research. To meet this criterion, featured articles should use appropriate citation formats and provide sufficient detail to enable readers to locate the original sources. By fulfilling the verifiability requirement, featured articles uphold the credibility of Screamer Wiki as a reliable and dependable source of information. However, it should be noted that citation is not always necessary for information that is widely accepted as true and factual.

The article should not only present the most important and relevant information, but also provide context and background information that helps readers understand the topic in a broader context.
