The Operatives are a panel of Firefly Wiki users who review, monitor, and improve all aspects of Featured Articles, including Featured article nominations.
Roles of the Operatives[]
The following are duties of the Operatives:
- Review all Featured Article nominations and either A) approve or B) reject them in an Operative vote, based on the quality and adherence to FA criteria of the article. All FA noms have to be approved by an Operative, with no objections from a panel member. Operatives should include {{Opvote}} before their sigs to make vote counting easier. FA noms can be rejected without an Operative vote if removal of the nomination is requested by the original nominator.
- Strike unnecessary or irrelevant objections from the FA nomination page. Operatives have the power to strike objections on the Featured Article nomination page provided the objection has been addressed and the original objector has been absent for at least a week after an "objection addressed" comment is left on the FA nom page, but only with a quorum of at least two Operatives approving the removal of the objection, and less than two opposed. Additionally, FA objections can be struck by the Operatives (as well as by any admin) if they do not fall under one of the rules.
- Review and possibly remove FA status from an article. Operatives also have the ability to strip an article of FA status, but only with approval of at least two Operatives and less than two opposed.
