Wikipedia:Mentoring for FAC

Not all editors may respond to requests for a mentor. If an editor has not edited for a year or longer, they will almost certainly not respond to a request.

This page in a nutshell: The page is not a Wikipedia policy. It describes a voluntary arrangement in which editors with less experience of the WP:FAC (featured articles) process may be helped through it.

Discussions (August 2016) on the WP:FAC talkpage highlighted a concern at the low rate of promotion at FAC for first-time nominators – around 15 percent. This rises to about 50 percent for editors with one successful nomination behind them, and is significantly higher for more experienced editors. To help resolve the problem of the low promotion rate for first-timers, the FAC coordinators have agreed to support, on a trial basis, a voluntary mentoring scheme for first-time nominators.
