This may seem like a very bold proposition, but, I've thought it through, and I think it would be benefical for the community. I'd like to propose the formation of a "Good Article Registration Commission". The reason for this is, I've noticed a lot of featured articles on this site are, and please don't take offense to this, not deserving of the status. Also I'm seeing more and more articles slip through the net and being labelled as featured for things like, "It has loads of pretty pictures" and "It's really long", the most common one is "He/She is a really important character". These are not valid reasons for showcasing an article, and to be honest most of the featured articles here would'nt pass for good article status on Wookieepedia let alone featured. Therfore I think the creation of such a system would be extremely beneficial, to ensure that only the very best become featured, whilst still giving recognition to the good, and the hard work that goes into them. Like i said before I'm not trying to cause offense, I'm just thinking of ways to better the site, cheers.

:::The decision needs to be made whether or not to either adopt the system I laid out above (which works on Wookieepedia quite well), or not.

:::::I think it's a great idea, but does it mean that only Aurors (or Unspeakables or whatever name is decided on) can vote? I think that would be good, as they are obviously really regular users.

:::::No, regular users can vote on the articles as well. An article will need five support votes to pass, and no outstanding objections. Of those five votes, three will need to come from a member of the review board. - [[User:Cavalier One|<span style="color:black">'''Cavalier One'''</span>]][[File:Gryffindorcrest.jpg|20px]]<sup>([[User talk:Cavalier One|<span style="color:red">''Wizarding Wireless Network''</span>]])</sup> 17:29, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, voting options are below. We are voting on: the creation of the FA review panel, as well as the name of the board. Membership of the board will be decided on after the vote to create the review panel, although due to my familiarity with the system, I will be one of the initial members. - [[User:Cavalier One|<span style="color:black">'''Cavalier One'''</span>]][[File:Gryffindorcrest.jpg|20px]]<sup>([[User talk:Cavalier One|<span style="color:red">''Wizarding Wireless Network''</span>]])</sup> 12:23, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

:I think, of all the possible names presented, "Hogwarts Faculty" ties-in best with the role the FA review panel will play. Panelists ensuring that FAs meet the required standards is a bit like Hogwarts professors grading students' work. <font color="Green">&#x2605;</font color> [[User:Starstuff|<font face="Times" color="green">S</font color><font face="Times" color="dimgrey">t</font color><font face="Times" color="green">a</font color><font face="Times" color="dimgrey">r</font color><font face="Times" color="green">s</font color><font face="Times" color="dimgrey">t</font color><font face="Times" color="green">u</font color><font face="Times" color="dimgrey">f</font color><font face="Times" color="green">f</font color>]] <sup>[[User talk:Starstuff|<font face="Times" color="darkgreen">(Owl me!)</font>]]</sup> 18:08, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Voting will close two weeks from today, with the caveat that it can be closed sooner in the face of either overwhelming support or opposition in that becomes the case.
