FAC mentoring: first-time nominators[edit]
A voluntary mentoring scheme, designed to help first-time FAC nominators through the process and to improve their chances of a successful outcome, is now in action. Click here for further details. Experienced FAC editors, with five or more "stars" behind them, are invited to consider adding their names to the list of possible mentors, also found in the link.

Please close Bengal Famine '43 FAC[edit]
Yep, that was fast, but this time it's on a positive note. The positively heroic Brianboulton has agreed to take on the Herculean task of trimming (potentially) thousands of words. He feels this would best be done while it's not in FAC. Of course I would've been ready to do this myself, but my grubby hands may not be the most presentable to all involved or potentially involved parties. So, huge thanks to Brian. And please close the FAC. Thank you. Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 10:12, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
Inappropriate drive-by nomination[edit]
Can one of the FAC coordinators please close/delete Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Art Spiegelman/archive1? The nominator hasn't edited the article at all or consulted anybody who did work on it. Snuggums (talk / edits) 17:31, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
Image reviews[edit]
I've drafted a guide to passing an image review, targeted to nominators - amendments and comments welcome. Nikkimaria (talk) 19:15, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
- It's a very useful summary. I'll be adding it to my list of useful links, but could we also add it to WP:FAC, somewhere where nominators will see it? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:40, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hm. I don't mind, but I'm not sure where exactly to do that... Nikkimaria (talk) 01:42, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
- Here?. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 10:34, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks, but not sure that's the right place. A list of useful links for nominators would be helpful, and would include more than just this - anyone want to take that on? Nikkimaria (talk) 14:22, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

- Should be available at all review processes, at the very least. I think a lot of reviewers and editors struggle over this issue. Right offhand, I think this should be linked somewhere on WP:WPWIR for newbies and old hands alike. @Megalibrarygirl, SusunW, Ipigott, Penny Richards, Rosiestep, and 97198: Thanks for putting this in writing. — Maile (talk) 16:15, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
- Maile66, Woo Hoo! Very helpful guideline and I thank you for putting it together. I think it should be listed in our navigation box in the Administration: Essays section. SusunW (talk) 17:23, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
- @Maile66: yes, thank you! I agree with SusunW. Do you want to add it to the nav box? Megalibrarygirl (talk) 20:17, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
- @Megalibrarygirl and SusunW: The nav box works for me. @Nikkimaria:, in creating this for FA, did a really good job creating something that can be beneficial to all projects straight across the board. I still get a little confused over images, and this page will be helpful. — Maile (talk) 20:52, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

The WikiCup[edit]
I hardly like to mention it in this august community, but this is to let you know that the 2018 WikiCup will begin on January 1st. The WikiCup is an annual competition to encourage high-quality contributions to Wikipedia by adding a little friendly competition to editing. Participants can score through achieving DYKs, GAs, GA reviews, FAs and by other means. At the time of writing, only twenty-five users have signed up to take part in the competition. Interested parties, no matter their level of experience or their editing interests, are warmly invited to sign up. Questions are welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Thanks!
