==What is a good article?==

A [[WP:GA|good article]] has the following attributes.

{{Infobox MMA event

1. It is '''well written'''. In this respect:

| name = PRIDE 2

::(a) the prose is comprehensible, the grammar is correct, and the structure is clear at first reading.

| image = PRIDE FC II.jpg

::(b) the structure is logical, introducing the topic and then grouping together its coverage of related aspects; where appropriate, it contains a succinct [[WP:LEAD|lead section]] summarising the topic, and the remaining text is organised into a system of hierarchical sections (particularly for longer articles);

| promotion = [[PRIDE Fighting Championships]]

::(c) It does not seriously violate the standards in [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Wikipedia Manual of style]]. (In particular, sections to go by include the [[WP:LEAD|Article lead guideline]], [[WP:LAYOUT|Article layout guideline]], [[WP:MOSDEF|Jargon guideline]], [[WP:WTA|Words to avoid using guideline]], [[WP:WAF|How to write about Fiction guideline]], and [[Wikipedia:Embedded list|List incorporation]])

| date = [[March 15]], [[1998]]

::(d) necessary technical terms or jargon are briefly explained in the article itself, or an active link is provided.

| venue = [[Yokohama Arena]]

| city = [[Yokohama]]

| attendance =

| buyrate =

| previousevent = [[PRIDE 1]]

| followingevent = [[PRIDE 3]]

|}}

'''PRIDE 2''' was a [[mixed martial arts]] event held by [[PRIDE|KRS-PRIDE]] (later renamed PRIDE Fighting Championships). It took place at [[Yokohama Arena]] in [[Yokohama]], [[Japan]] on March 15, 1998. Kazushi Sakuraba, Mark Kerr, Vernon White, and Marco Ruas all made their PRIDE debuts at this event.

2. It is '''factually accurate''' and '''[[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiable]]'''. In this respect:

::(a) it provides references to any and all sources used for its material;

::(b) the [[WP:CITE|citation]] of its sources is essential, and while the use of [[Wikipedia:Citing_sources#How_to_cite_sources|inline citation]]s is not mandatory, it is highly desirable, in particular for longer articles. Unambiguous citations of reliable sources are necessary for any material that ''[[WP:V|is challenged or likely to be challenged]]''.<ref>Unambiguous citation is best done through footnotes or [[Wikipedia:Harvard referencing|Harvard references]] located at the end of a sentence or paragraph (read more about it in the essay [[Wikipedia:Inline citations]]). Short articles, one page or shorter, can be unambiguously referenced without inline citations. Articles or sections that contain general statements, mathematical equations, logical deductives, "common knowledge", or other material that does not contain disputable statements needn't be referenced. </ref> Articles whose topics fall under the [[Wikipedia:Scientific citation guidelines|guideline on scientific citations]] should adhere to the guideline.

::(c) sources should be selected in accordance with the guidelines for [[WP:RS|reliable sources]];

::(d) it contains no elements of [[WP:NOR|original research]].

== Results ==

3. It is '''broad in its coverage'''. In this respect :

==={{flagicon| BRA}} [[Royler Gracie]] vs. {{flagicon| JPN}} [[Naoki Sano|Yuhi Sano]]===

::(a) it addresses all major aspects of the topic (this requirement is slightly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required by [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates|WP:FAC]], and allows shorter articles and broad overviews of large topics to be listed);

Gracie defeated Sano by armbar at 33:14 of round 1.

::(b) it stays focused on the main topic without going into unnecessary details (no non-notable trivia).

==={{flagicon| BRA}} [[Juan Mott]] vs. {{flagicon| JPN}} [[Akira Shoji]]===

4. It follows the '''[[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]] policy'''. In this respect:

Shoji defeated Mott by submission (Rear Naked Choke) at 3:47 of round 1.

::(a) viewpoints are represented fairly and without bias;

::(b) all significant points of view are fairly presented, but not asserted, particularly where there are or have been conflicting views on the topic.

==={{flagicon| JPN}} [[William Roosmalen]] vs. {{flagicon| USA}} [[Ralph White]]===

5. It is '''stable''', i.e. it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing [[Wikipedia:Edit war|edit wars]]. This does not apply to vandalism and protection or semi-protection as a result of vandalism, or proposals to split/merge the article content.

William Roosmalen defeated Ralph White by KO (knee to the body).

==={{flagicon| JPN}} [[Kazushi Sakuraba]] vs. {{flagicon| USA}} [[Vernon White]]===

6. It '''contains [[Wikipedia:Images|images]]''', where possible, to illustrate the topic. In this respect:

Sakuraba defeated White by submission (armbar) at 6:53 of round 3.

::(a) the images are [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|tagged]] and have succinct and descriptive [[Wikipedia:Captions|captions]];

::(b) a lack of images does not in itself prevent an article from achieving Good Article status.

::(c) any non-free images have a [[Help:Image page#Fair use rationale|fair use rationale]].

==={{flagicon| BRA}} [[Renzo Gracie]] vs. {{flagicon| JPN}} [[Sanae Kikuta]]===

==Length==

Gracie defeated Kikuta by submission (guillotine choke) at :43 round 6.

For articles longer than about 25&nbsp;kB, rigorous reviewing of the Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Peer review|peer review]] and [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates|featured article candidates]] guidelines is often more appropriate than the process here.

==={{flagicon| TRI}} [[Gary Goodridge]] vs. {{flagicon| BRA}} [[Marco Ruas]]===

==Articles dealing with fiction==

Ruas defeated Goodridge by submission (Heel Hook) at 9:09 of round 1.

Articles dealing with fiction should follow the [[WP:WAF|guidelines for writing about fiction]]. In short, articles dealing with fictional subjects, characters, objects, or locations, must establish and discuss significance outside the "fictional universe," together with the process of authorship. The focus of the article should remain on discussing the subject as fiction within the context of "our" universe, not on establishing it as a "real" topic in a fictional universe; otherwise, the article may be better placed in one of the many [[other wikis|fictional-universe specific wikis]].

==={{flagicon| CRO}} [[Branko Cikatic]] vs. {{flagicon| USA}} [[Mark Kerr]]===

==Lists, portals and images==

Cikatic was disqualified for grabbing the ropes at 2:14 of the first round.

Lists, portals and images are not reviewed by the GA system so editors should instead consider nominating them for [[Wikipedia:Featured lists]], [[Wikipedia:Featured portals]] or [[Wikipedia:Featured pictures]], respectively.
