Forum:CT Archive/Queue know the problem.

It has become increasingly apparent that our FA queue has become slightly too long. I know that some will be saying, "What's the problem? It's time to get 200 articles on the queue!", but this is obviously detrimental to having quality articles on the Main Page. The articles that are being placed on the queue now won't be on the main page until almost a year later. The fact is that a lot can happen in a year, and it may be hard to ensure the quality of articles that remain on the main page for an entire year. We need a new system to regulate the FA queue, but before we do that, we need to get rid of our huge queue right now, as any system that we adopt will still have trouble regulating so many articles.

In the meantime, I propose that we change the system we have now to one FA per day just like Wikipedia. Keep in mind that this is only a temporary fix. We're certainly not creating one FA per day, so this will hopefully dwindle the queue down after about three months (or maybe a little longer). The purpose of this is to give a fair playing ground for alternate options of the queue, so after the queue has gone down to a reasonable length, we can adopt a new system that will ensure that articles aren't stagnating while waiting for their turn on the main page.

Support moving to a one FA a day system

I would like every FA to at least have one day on the Main Page, so if your idea is to just boot some of the articles off the queue, forget it. Cull Tremayne 19:33, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
