De los más de seis millones de artículos de la Wikipedia en inglés, hay algunos que los wikipedistas han identificado como algo inusual. Estos artículos son contribuciones verificables y valiosas a la enciclopedia, pero son un poco extraños, extravagantes o algo que uno no esperaría encontrar en la Encyclopædia Britannica . Debemos tener especial cuidado de cumplir con los estándares más altos de una enciclopedia con estos artículos para que no hagan que Wikipedia parezca idiosincrásica . Si desea agregar un artículo a esta lista, el artículo en cuestión debe cumplir preferiblemente con uno o más de estos criterios:

Esta definición no es precisa ni absoluta; algunos artículos podrían considerarse inusuales incluso si no se ajustan a estas pautas.

Cada entrada de esta lista debería ser un artículo en sí mismo (no simplemente una sección de un artículo menos inusual) y de calidad decente, y en general cumplir con el manual de estilo de Wikipedia . Para contribuciones inusuales que sean de mayor ligereza, consulte Wikipedia:Cosas tontas .

En esta lista, una estrella () indica un artículo destacado . Un signo más ( ) indica un buen artículo .
