Hi there,
I have a question about the right way to *extract the accurate time (or
revision ID) of when an article becomes a featured article (FA) or a good
article (GA)*.
The first and most straightforward method I tried was to extract the first
time that a *{{featured article}}* tag (or a {{good article}} one) is found
in the article revision text.
However, in some cases, this yields weird results, such as an article being
an FA on the same day it was created.
Another method I tried (without much success) was to extract this
information from the article talk page under the "Article History" section.
However, not all pages have this section, and I'm not sure how reliable
this information is (are all editors adding the date when the article got a
promotion or maybe the nomination date?)
So, I wonder if anyone can advise on the best way to extract this
information in the most accurate way. Isn't there any database table that
holds such information?
Thank you all in advance!
Abraham
