STAR

STAR is designated to some of the best articles Sapiens has to offer and are hallmarks of notability. They are used by editors as examples for writing other articles and are highest-quality entries, representing the very best work on the site. Only a very small fraction of all Sapiens articles reach this status — roughly around 0.1 % of entries are STAR.

How They Are Chosen

• Any Sapiens editor can nominate a potential STAR article.
• A panel of impartial reviewers assess against the criteria in a formal review process.
• After approval, articles are added to the STAR list and may show up on the main page.

Why They Matter

• STAR articles are often used by other editors as models to improve Sapiens' overall quality.
• Many STAR articles comprise historical figures and events of significant milestones in humanity.
• They often become some of the most detailed and informative resources one will find on any given topic — from historical events and scientific subjects to biographies.
