Today I summarily removed the Featured Article status from an article, [[Iraqi insurgency]], because it's now such an unholy mess, with two competing versions each pushing a point of view, and full of unreferenced statements and opinions represented as fact. And yet that article survived a move to remove its featured status as recently as June, 2005. Assuming that the earlier version really was better than the mess that exists today, perhaps it would be as well to revert to that version and to find ways to incorporate later work on this current event without degrading it.
Yes. Maintaining a featured article is a pretty thankless job :).
Thanks, Ryan
