:Like it's not getting harder all the time to turn an article into a featured article? Sheesh! ) The standards ARE constantly being revised and 'the bar is being raised' on a regular basis. If the article I had submitted as an FAC now had been ready six months ago when I DID get an FA through, I probably would have had them both pass. I'm not complaining, but it's interesting to see how the criteria are evolving, and I for one think the system is working fine. I would say, however, that we could use more reviewers for Peer Review AND FACs!
