Welcome to FAC
[edit]Hi Thuiop and thank you for your nomination to FAC. A few pointers on the process and how to get the best from it:
What to expect
- As a first time nominator at FAC, the nominated article will need to pass a source-to-text integrity spot check and a review for over-close paraphrasing in addition to all of the usual requirements.
- You should be aware that every aspect of the article will be rigorously examined, including the standard of prose; breadth, standard and formatting of sources; image licencing; and adherence to the Manual of Style.
Dealing with reviewers
- Try to deal with comments in a timely and constructive fashion.
- Remember that reviewers are constructively giving their opinion on the article.
- Keep calm when dealing with criticism of any aspect of the article.
- Don't take the criticism personally: reviewers are examining the article – not you!
How to get the best from the process
- Reviewing the work of others is a good way to get a grasp of the process from the other side.
- Reviewing other FACs also increases the likelihood that others will review your nomination – although remember there is no quid pro quo at FAC.
Good luck with your nomination.
