I'm proposing a revision of the 'Featured article' process.

It's been stalled for a lengthy amount of time. I'm suggesting removing the rather large featured article banners and re-writing the criteria for a featured article.

Tardis:Nominations for featured articles is the current page/criteria for the Feature articles. There's nothing wrong with it, except as I've said it's stalled. The criteria and process is a somewhat lengthy process, which works on high traffic wikis, though perhaps for now we should adopt a faster process.

User:Tangerineduel/Featured article nomination this is the change I'm proposing. It's shorter, has less requirements and basically follows the quote of the week model.

I know that going via this method would possibly lead to some dud articles being nominated, though hopefully there would always be an alternate good article nominated and voted for. The voting specifics I'd grab from the quote of the week policy.
