highlight the areas of the article they believe are problematic, and not the areas they believe are excellent. The goal of the process is to reach an article that a larger consensus believes is excellent. I've seen articles be presented at FAC five and six times before they were finally promoted, and the nominators readily admitted at the end that the article was much improved from the initial version that the nominator had thought was perfect. I am going to archive this FAC for you for now; I encourage you to take some time to look at the comments objectively and see if there are any that would improve the article. I hope that you will eventually decide to return to FAC - we can very definitely use more science-oriented editors.

answering someone on the FAC nomination, re-reading or re-writing portions of the article I've nominated. One of those trade-offs at FAC is being able to reconcile people's objections. It is very difficult to separate my self from my article, and I don't think I was able to do so until after the 5th or 6th article I wrote was promoted to FA. It's still hard to do. I think I saw somewhere
Karanacs or someone else also note another trade-off: you don't have to meet all the objections in a nomination, but the article may not be promoted. Very few readers know what featured articles are. They just read whatever they click on, so only in the back room of the Knowledge community do people recognize the FA star.

article content and sourcing, and do not include any commentary on the motivations of other editors, however. From this, several things could happen: it may be promoted if other editors support the article and your arguments seem to make sense. It may be archived and you leave it alone. It may be archived and what has happened to me, after I have cycled through my righteous indignation of being challenged in such a sophomoric manner, I end up making a few of the challenger's changes anyway after I let the article sit for a spell and I calm down. I can't say what's most appropriate for this article and per your wishes, I have no science background and would muck things up anyway.

constantly checked by readers and people on the talk page. The element of awesome here is that folks who aren't recognized as experts get a hand in helping to shape what information is in the article, but that's also the element of frustration. I may have read everything there has ever been published on a topic, making me an armchair expert on it, but I will never be able to use my name alone as the final word on any matter on
Knowledge. No matter how many FAs I write, or how many times I say I wrote this article and read all the sources and have this degree, if I can't provide evidence in the writing, it does me or the article no good. (See also

Karen, Knowledge does a terrible job of weeding out trolls among its editors. Eubulides clearly had no intention or interest of approving of this article as a featured article candidate. I'm not going to waste my time with what are not good faith editors. I"m not going to use my time providing
