Featured article "star" icon


STAR is designated to some of the best articles Sapiens has to offer. 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 featured 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
