Wikipedia:Good articles was initiated on 11 October 2005, with the current nominations system instituted on 10 March 2006. This table gives a monthly overview of article count, and compares it to that for featured articles. Monthly increases are not the same as new listings, since articles may be removed from both the good articles list and featured article status. Also, good articles that become featured articles are removed from the good articles list. Article counts are those stated on the good articles list and featured article list at 0:00 UTC on the listed date. However, the stated number will sometimes be inaccurate, especially for the good articles.

The number of good articles has been rising faster than the number of featured articles (scroll down to graph), and has been rising as a proportion of the total number of articles, although the proportion of articles that are featured is in decline (scroll down to graph). Both the number of GAs and FAs are rising linearly (about 110/month and 36/month respectively), while the number of articles is rising exponentially (about 5% per month). If this continues, then proportion of GAs will peak and then decline in the same way that the proportion of FAs did.
