Forum:CT Archive/GA word limit

I'm proposing a policy that GA noms can not be more than 3,000 words. The reason for this is to avoid users using the GAN page simply to fix any problems their article had so that they could then take it to FA and get it passed quickly there. This has happened in the past, and as an AC member, I must say that I am tired of this. It's not our duty to read 10,000 word articles that will be taken to FA almost immediately after they pass GA. The purpose of GA is to showcase short articles that can't be featured articles. Obviously, there is then no point in having massively long GAs. GAs are short, and do not have enough info to reach FA, not long articles that are nominated for selfish purposes. Anyway, it should be noted that this will not affect any current GAs, just nominations for the future.

Support

 * 1) I support this. As an AC member, let me say that it can get really annoying to read long articles and fix them up just so that the nominator can then FA them with little fuss.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 22:27, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
