Revision as of 11:56, 22 April 2013

Keepin mind that everything here is in the middle of a major overhaul after the move from the old domain, especially with the new page structure (i.e., <date>/article instead of a portion on a date's page). See the new guidelines page for more details.

Contents 1 Creating AOTDs 1.1 Criteria 1.2 Approval 2 January 3 February 4 March 5 April 6 May 7 June 8 July 9 August 10 September 11 October 12 November 13 December

An Article of the Day or AOTD is a small lead-in/teaser placed on the front page describing the featured article that is being showcased that day. Since we don't have a the staff to do all the writeups ourselves, we allow individual users like you to suggest AOTDs and even design the front page intro yourself it you want.

This page not only provides instructions on how to make and get approval for an AOTD, but it also provides a handy list of, and links to, all active AOTDs.
