Forum:Shot in the arm

This thread has to do with the languishing Forum:Decreton Lords - Third Featured Article Review. I get a chuckle out of reading the top of that page, particularly the dates and times on it. For example: "While you can certainly take your time, just be sure to have your reviews done within the next two or three weeks."

- The review page . Now, I've only been paying attention to the page for a couple weeks and there's not a lot moving on it. The idea of "all articles under review will remain under review for the entire time, which is one month" is kind of out the window, since it's been over three months. The election of new DLs was supposed to speed that along. . . well, it doesn't work that way when a majority vote of DLs is needed. It's obvious that there's a problem if this review is actually going to finish.

So, what I propose is simple. It's not a complete fix&mdash;I don't think that's possible at this point&mdash;but it is a shot in the arm. I've discussed it with a couple other respected community members in IRC and they agree that this is needed.


 * Any article up for review that receives a net total of three Decreton Lords in favor of removing its FA status will LOSE said FA status if it is not deemed satisfactory by those Decreton Lords two weeks after garnering three votes to remove its status.

The TL;DR version of that is, "If 3 DLs say your article isn't up to par, you have two weeks to fix it from the time of the 3rd DL vote to remove FA status".

This CT will end two weeks from now, on August 9th, at whatever time this is: 22:26, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
