Forum:SH Archive/Increase CAN votes required

Considering that the latter attempt, to decrease the fast rhythm (and somewhat improve the quality) of Comprehensive articles, will not result in a community consensus and so, will be refuted, I wanted to present an option that may have the same advantages of the latter but lesser disadvantages.

Comprehensive articles are known as being of minor quality when compared to GAs or FAs, being criticized, despised but mostly ignored by many users. What I wanted to propose is, increasing the number of votes required (considering that the existent are way too few) from both users and ECs, to grant the respective nomination succesful and providing it with the CA status. Now, the reason I'm taking this to SH is because I'm not sure what the number of votes required should be. I'll just leave my idea here.

The 4th point of the CANs 'How to vote' section would be modified to:


 * Option A: "There are several ways in which an article can receive the required number of votes. Within a 48-hour period of nomination, only EduCorps votes will count towards the total, although anyone may choose to vote in that window. If five members of the EduCorps support a nomination in that window, and there are no outstanding objections, the article can be considered a "Comprehensive article" and be tagged with the template 48 hours after the initial nomination. The talk page will also be tagged with the {{CA} } template. When the 48 hours are up, any user's votes will contribute towards the total. If two EduCorps member has voted for an article after a week, five regular votes will be required. After the 48 hour period, an article can still also pass with four EduCorps votes." (more similar to the GANs requirements)


 * Option B: (...) If four members of the EduCorps support a nomination in that window, and there are no outstanding objections, the article can be considered a "Comprehensive article" and be tagged with the template 48 hours after the initial nomination. The talk page will also be tagged with the  template. When the 48 hours are up, any user's votes will contribute towards the total. If two EduCorps member has voted for an article after a week, three regular votes will be required. After the 48 hour period, an article can still also pass with just three EduCorps votes.


 * Option C: Give your own.

Honestly, I'm more inclined to option B, as we have also to consider the low number of active ECs. I'll take this to CT in a week or so, unless anyone is able to provide a good point on why this shouldn't be applied. Discuss. Winterz (talk) 21:22, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
