  In this note, we prove that a $w$-module $M$ is $w$-Artinian if and only if
it is $w$-cofinitely generated and for every prime $w$-ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ of
$R$ with $(0:_RM)\subseteq \mathfrak{p}$, there exists a $w$-submodule
$N^\mathfrak{p}$ of $M$ such that $(M/N^\mathfrak{p})_w$ is $w$-cofinitely
generated and $(M[\mathfrak{p}])_w\subseteq N^\mathfrak{p} \subseteq
(0:_M\mathfrak{p})$, where $M[\mathfrak{p}]=\bigcap\limits_{s\in R \setminus
\mathfrak{p}}s(0:_M\mathfrak{p}).$ Besides, we show that the $w$-operations are
semi-star operations rather than star operations in general.
