Of course, it would make the goal silly to do so. I'm putting
[[WP:100K]] as working to the Featured Article criteria ...

... but am explicitly not assuming the current FA process.

[[WP:100K]] seems to have a nascent process outlined:

1. Check various sources for better-than-average articles. (FA, GA,
A-rated by a project, collaboration-of-the-week, etc.)
2. Rate these per the FAC. I expect FAs and probably GAs will get an
automatic pass to save effort.

An idea I have for step 2 is: no self-nominations. I am *suspecting*
self-nominations are why FA has to explicitly say "don't take it
personally" - they've set up an environment almost designed to make it
personal.


Now then, for the bilinguals ... does translating FAs from one project
to another sound like something that would arouse your interest at
all?
