I was the main shepherding author who grew this article from its humble beginnings I once had one of my wiki friends nominate it for FA That wasn t too long after it had gone through the Good Article process which wasn t too bad of an experience But I had seen what the FA process was like not fun and pledged that I wouldn t lift a finger to help the article through the process That was the end of that Was that the right thing to do Well I come to Wikipedia because it is a fun hobby If something isn t fun I avoid it Just that simple And why avoid FA I ve done a few things on this article that aren t seen in many other articles maybe any other articles such as the Glossary which is desperately needed since many of the terms have a unique meaning in the metrology world and they also refer back and forth to each other keeping all that straight by bouncing about in Wiktionary would drive someone mad I find that Wikipedia has a lot of people who value conformity even to the point of not best serving the interests of our readership Frankly the thought of having some Wikipedian experts ride in on a mighty stallion with pouted lower lip as they wipe their white gloves over the article s crevices sounds like about as much fun as my being stuck on a deserted island with nothing but a knife and Jessica Alba at least I could eat Rosie D Donnel Besides being an FA means it would appear on the Main Page for a day and that would just result in some drive by shootings by 9th graders and dorks more non fun
