Thread:Forum:Wiki Talk/We should have a "Featured Article of the Day" on the main page./reply (6)

Well then, until it's self-perpetuating with user nominations, it'd be up to us to pick the initial entries. And it'd probably be up to us to summarize for the display anyway because yeah, no guarantee of perfect cold opens.

In re: self-nomination, I'm actually rethinking that. If the page is good enough, it shouldn't matter who nominated it. All that guideline would really do is spur sockpuppets for those who want to flog something, and there's no guarantee we would be able to match an ATT-username to the author of a given page or work anyway.

And while I'd be thrilled to see Drunkard's Walk up there at some point, I suggest we stay away from self-promotion in this feature for at least a few months lest our look of legitimacy suffer.
