:Hi Dawne, I think you already discovered the answer to your question, but for the benefit of others -- The way to add the star to an article is by using the {{tl|Featured article}} template. Do this by adding the code {{xt|<nowiki>{{Featured article}}</nowiki>}} to the bottom of an article, just before the categories. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] 16:28, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

:We'd like to feature the page view count on the archive page, not the talk page. So, how can we edit the Archive page so that more detail can be added to the daily changes in featured articles. We are tracking what the page view count was on the day the article was featured and what was the page view count on the day the article was removed from the Main page as a featured article? Since we are changing featured articles on a daily basis, the Archive page should probably be changed to a daily view of what was featured on a given day. --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 15:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Please would someone consider making one more section in the Featured Articles so the committee could be added. [[User:HoleDL|Dawne]] 14:55, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 
:Dawne, I took your comment to mean, an extra section in the FA navbox {{tl|Featured content}}. I have therefore added a new link to the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Featured Article Committee]] to that navbox. If this was a wrong interpretation, please let me know. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] ([[User talk:Cottrells|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]) 15:55, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
 
=== Set the bar higher?  ===
 
I don't mean to be disrespectful regarding the hard work contributors have put into the ''Find A Grave'' article, but how exactly does this article meet the [[FamilySearch Wiki:Featured article criteria|specifications set for a featured article]]?

Juxtaposing this article against other featured articles like [[New Sweden|New Sweden]] or [[Maryland History|Maryland History]], I see such a wide gap on so many levels that I'm baffled why we'd indicate that they're on the same plane. If an article like Find A Grave can achieve Featured or Bronze status, it seems like we may need to figure out how to set the bar higher for Bronze status.

To Feature an article is basically saying "This is among the best of the wiki." The ''Find A Grave'' article is simply not the best of the best. Unless someone can skillfully defend how it meets the specs set forth in [[FamilySearch Wiki:Featured article criteria|FamilySearch Wiki:Featured article criteria]], this page's Featured status should be removed.
