Featured articles and challenges on Wikipedia

There are numerous types of challenges and rewards on Wikipedia: the featured articles, the writing and translation challenges, the Wikicontest, etc.

Remarkable content

The best articles, the ones that follow the Wikipedia criteria of being encyclopaedic, neutral and exhaustive, are hailed after a vote as being “good” articles, or for the most complete, “featured” articles. These labels reward the efforts put in by all the writers of the article.
