Hi! I archived the post about the featured article because:
Hope that helps! Welcome to Wikipedia, and I do hope you'll get involved - not just in helping pick featured articles, but in other areas too.
Happy editing! TFOWR 19:01, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Talk:Main Page. Note that the
three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the
three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to
discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a
consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek
dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request
page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be
blocked from editing without further notice. You have been reverted by several editors now. I am terming your continued insistence vandalism and a potential violation of our Three-Revert-Rule. I highly suggest discussing issues on the pages you have been directed to. Otherwise you are likely to be blocked for edit warring.

Talk:Main Page about just that. This post is a cheap crack at the volunteers who select - from a limited pool of available articles - the featured article. You could, you know, get involved - either with improving articles so that there's a wider range to choose from, or in the actual selection process. Constantly reverting isn't helping in anyway - it suggests
a failure to read and understand what you're being told.

Request reason:
I will leave my previous edit that was marked for an archive alone, but I still want to discuss why so many articles about video games are given FA status, and I promise to be nice and not edit war
Decline reason:
There's nothing to discuss - it all has to do with how they are written, see WP:FA. ( talk→ BWilkins ←track) 09:41, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
