Last month during the voting, Drake posted as such in the Comments section- "If we're going to go with Good Articles in the future, it may be a good idea to lose the "five nominations before we vote" rule, as it stands now voting is slow and with a smaller pool of articles to choose from the process will get even slower. Let's just go like, we wait a couple days from the 1st to begin voting so people who want to nominate can do so and earlier nominees don't get extra votes on account of being brought up earlier." Who's in agreement, and are there any further suggestions for additional revamp? Also, it seems to be in agreement from our last discussion and a lack of complaints that I am the unofficial/maybe official authority when it comes to the FA. Would any users object to my name being in the introductory paragraph as Diablo's once was? | |||
Yes, because writing an outstanding article consumes a lot of time of many people and because of the time factor it's very hard to write a lot of Good Articles while having so many articles to improve and there not many people who are willing to make serious overhauls to articles. Although I think we should ask to not just post one suggestion and people would just say how awesome it is, so I suggest asking that voting can only happen when there are at least two (2) articles, so we give people choice, or rather an illusion of choice.—Kaimi (999,999 CP/5 TP) ∙ 20:18, August 1, 2013 (UTC)
*sigh* Okay, so we've had no input whatsoever here. I'll give it till evening, then I'm just gonna go ahead and make the changes regardless. Tia-Lewise 16:31, August 5, 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, I agree you should be the authority on FA stuff. Also agree with not having the 5 nominations rule. --Shockstorm 17:26, August 5, 2013 (UTC)
- How I will do this is say in the rules that it's no longer necessary to have five nominations; we can start from one and more can of course be added till the winner is selected. I shall put myself down as acting head, it's a bit more modest :P Tia-Lewise 18:02, August 5, 2013 (UTC)
- The new rule has now been implemented and various others have been slightly reworded for easier understanding. Tia-Lewise 18:29, August 5, 2013 (UTC)
I support this, there's really no reason not to (considering how few nominations we get as it is <_<). But we probably should wait before we start getting GAs first :| And yes, Tia is, for all practical purposes, in charge of the FA, no reason not to acknowledge that.
