****** Well not every FA will make the front page I'd expect. We're promoting roughly 1 FA a week, but the front page is an Article of the Month. We could exclude lists from being front page, but not too sure about that. When does an article become a list, where's the line? - [[User:Salak|<font color="maroon">Lt.

******* Indeed, AotM and Featured Articles are different -- all AotM are Featured Articles, but I suspect that not all FA will end up as AotM. The question remains whether lists without any kind of prose content are applicable for featured status. --[[User:FltAdml. Wolf|Wolf]] /<sup>[[User talk:FltAdml.

******** I suppose, then, that lists wouldn't have the first attribute of the four necessary for a featured article - it isn't "well-written," simply because there's nothing written. It's comprehensive and pretty to look at, but there's not any real original content. The point of instituting the FA system seems, to me, to be to showcase well-written articles to a larger audience (group and/or non-group members), I think there's too much of a "so what?" factor with vessel-specific lists to seriously consider them as Featured Articles. | ******** I suppose, then, that lists wouldn't have the first attribute of the four necessary for a featured article - it isn't "well-written," simply because there's nothing written.
