Forum:Featured Article

We've got to take a long, hard look at our Featured Article policy. First of all, there's the rate of rotation: It's irregular and WAY too infrequent. I see from consulting the Talk page of the home screen that I brought this up on August 1, 2010 and complained that RB had been up too long. I didn't even remember doing so. It's pushing a year and a half.

Also, it's really not that great an article. When we put it up we said "We'll fix it soon" and never got around to it. Given how long it's been up there, that's very, very bad.

We need to consider some options: Set up an automatic rotation (promising to keep on top of it isn't going to work); create a Featured Articles category and make damned sure that it includes only the best; or delete the section altogether. Keeping it as it is simply won't work. Turtle Fan 03:36, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
