Creating a Featured Article

Some advice for editors interested in creating an FA Candidate, written from a Scottish perspective.

An FA candidature can be an interesting and productive challenge. It can also be time consuming and it is not inconceivable that the numerous edits and critiques offered will make only slender improvements to the article. It is not out the question that the time taken to put a GA through FA may be roughly the time it would take to write an excellent GA from scratch. It might be useful to think of the exercise as a test of skill and patience in equal measure.
