Forum:CT Archive/Re-featuring restored Featured Articles take 2: No gap!

Number One: No gap!
Hey everyone,

Forum:CT:Re-featuring restored Featured Articles looks like a snowball, so I figured that I'd go ahead and start this one.

Inq/FA queue checklist currently says: Note: If the article is a restored FA that was first featured on the main page before 29 January 2007, then the article will be added to the queue as per this CT.

The snowballing CT, if it passes, will change it to: Note: If the article is a restored FA that was first featured on the main page before 11 February 2009, then the article will be added to the queue as per this CT.

This CT proposes the killing of that line altogether. So, any former Featured Article, if restored to Featured status, can appear again on the main page at any time. There was some talk in Forum:CT:Re-featuring restored Featured Articles about instituting a general one- or two-year gap (eg, "A former FA can only appear on the main page again if it previously appeared on the main page at least one/two years ago"), but there was also some support for no gap. As Grunny put it: ''... by the time they've been demoted, renominated, passed and reached the top of the queue, a reasonable amount of time will probably have passed.''

So, let's give no gap a try. If you don't like it, that's cool. Definitely indicate in the Discussion what kind of gap you'd prefer, though (six months? One year? Two years?). If this CT fails, I'll create a new one with a gap proposed.

So: Voting "Support" will be a vote for:


 * 1) Removing the line "Note: If the article is a restored FA that was first featured on the main page before (whatever date), then the article will be added to the queue as per this CT." from Inq/FA queue checklist.
 * 2) Supporting the idea that any former Featured Article can again be featured on the Main Page at any time, regardless of when it previously appeared on the main page.

Let me know what ya think.

Number two: Glurrg
The second part of this CT proposes retroactively applying this to Glurrg. Glurrg is a restored FA that regained its status less than two months ago (and is, as far as I know, the only restored FA of 2011). Nothing wrong with a little retroactivity, is there? The original CT had some.

Supporting this part of the CT is supporting:


 * 1) Adding Glurrg to Featured article queue (it last appeared on the main page on 17 February 2009, so even if it's a two-year gap that ultimately passes, Glurrg will fit the bill).

Discussion
If I'm mistaken, and there were any other restored FAs this year that didn't make it to the queue, let me know. Menkooroo 11:52, November 12, 2011 (UTC)
