It just finished an attempt at FAC, and failed mainly due to prose issues. So I'd like anyone interested to go through, as I'd like to get it passed there eventually, and some more commentary is always good.

- Hi, Kaiser matias. You might want to let Corinne know that you have posted this over here too. I suppose she would want to do her thorough copy edit pass thru after we have all mucked it around. I made some minor progress on the article, but my eyes are too tired to really dig in. Ping me back. Having fun!
Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk}10:38, 1 November 2017 (UTC)- I, too, as the original copy-editor, whose earlier efforts seemed to have been so lacking, plan on going through the article, with a stricter sense of what belongs and where, a process I've already started.

- Dhtwiki, if you look at the article revision history, you'll see that many edits had been made to the article since you copy-edited it in June, so I wouldn't feel bad about seeing a second copy-edit. – Corinne (talk) 21:21, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
- Dhtwiki, don't take this request for a critique of your efforts, they were much appreciated on my end, but unfortunately they were apparently not up to the standards of some at FAC. A thanks to you and Checkingfax for going through it again; I hope that this will suffice for round two. Kaiser matias (talk) 08:44, 2 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, Kaiser matias. One thing that is or was a criteria for promotion over in the the Featured Article department is alt text for images. I find them very fickle to write. A good person to review your alt text efforts is editor Graham87 as he relies on them. Ping him when you get them done, and he may be willing to review them. You only have a few to do. It looks like Corinne already did her edits before I did, so I spoke out of turn. Articles are a moving target, so we will all have to keep kneading and polishing, until things are all buffed out. Hopefully other editors jump in with their peering. Having fun! Cheers!

- (outdent) Of course the alt-text, I forgot about that. I should be able to handle that myself in the next while, or will at least try to first. And agreed about the ever-moving nature of FACs; it's both good standards are constantly improving (in theory), but can be a hassle to navigate. As it is, I started a different FAC the other day, so that will allow time before I put this one back up. Kaiser matias (talk) 03:21, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
