Quite the coincedence with this exciting announce: The English Wikipedia now has 10 or more good articles. -Reagle (talk) 01:34, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Er, is that 10,000? Brianboulton (talk) 10:04, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not a coincidence. More a project to encourage more reviews to the growing backlog, in light of the milestone...Res Mar 21:46, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see anything in the good article nominating guidelines that says an article can only be nominated by someone "who has been involved in creating [the] article". Where did that requirement come from? Powers ^T 16:41, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Very rarely do people nominate articles they themselves didn't write. ResMar 21:46, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I know; I tried it once and got excoriated for it. I just thought that since this article mentioned it that maybe it was written down somewhere and I just didn't notice. Powers ^T 03:35, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a litle surprised to discover that there is no consideration of copyright violations in the text. Bovlb (talk) 20:04, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think that falls under WP:COMMONSENSE. The GA criteria don't need to spell out every last possible way that an article could fail. SnottyWong ^chat 23:34, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
