Featured articles are some of the best articles produced by the Wikinews community. Featured articles should at least:

• Be formatted correctly (including sources)
• Have pictures (they should make a good visual impression)
• Be well-written - see the Wikinews:Style guide
• Cover the news event comprehensively without rambling
• Original reporting is also nice, but not required
