Welcome to FAC
[edit]Hi Shushugah 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.

- @Gog the Mild thank you! A question regarding other FAC's, is it preferable if I directly edit/improve the article or state the requested changed in the feedback? From my experience in GAN reviews, I tend to avoid giving small nitpicks if there were higher-level issues e.g text attribution, but I see there are a lot of grammar style nit-picky type feedback in FAC. Is that recommended or more stylistic choice of each reviewer? Thank you! ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 15:29, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- If you are relatively new to FAC reviewing I would suggest listing all suggested changes in your reviews. Reviewers who comment "I have also made a few copy edits while reading through" or similar tend to be very experienced. Gog the Mild (talk) 15:36, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
