== Proposals and Protection ==

Under the new reorganization and protection of this page, I'm not sure if all the desired goals of the project are being met. We still want regular editors to be able to propose articles (though on the Talk page now), but I thought the issue that prompted the reorganization was that only committee members should be able to vote and decide which articles get featured. The way the proposals section of the talk page currently stands, it allows regular users to propose ''and vote'' on the proposals. Will this feature remain here? If so, will there be an official voting method for the committee members?

A second issue raised with these changes is that the project page was protected to be edited only by sysops. Since not all the committee members (e.g. myself, [[User:AlanE|AlanE]] should he accept Joaquín's invite, and perhaps others) are sysops, this limits our capabilities in the project. One potential solution to this is to create a new user rights group for the featured articles project, adding all the committee members (and all sysops, I assume), and then changing the protection level to that group.

Third minor point: the intro paragraph on the project page still has "Articles listed here will be considered for featuring by the committee" which should be removed or changed to "listed on the talk page". -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 11:05, 4 March 2009 (EST)
