I was looking at RC and I saw a user putting a Featured article canidate on the discussion page of a article. Well I looked at the article and found out the user had just written the article a few minutes ago, and wasn’t featured article quality. Should I remove the template, tell the user, or what?
I don’t think there’s any rule against FACing your own article, even if it’s not up to FAC standards.
I was wondering how a few things were slipping past the radar on FACs in the past few months. Perhaps there should be some form of regulation, maybe another NAB privilege?
Random bureaucracy woo-hoo. Show me that the system is broken before you propose fixing it.
^ I’d assumed this was a sort of example. If there are more people doing this, a few of them might get their articles past the radar (as may have been seen already). I just think there should be a limit to prevent this. Besides, it seems we get a new FA on the main page every four hours or so. That’s a tad fast.
If you’re right, that’s not a reason to build bureaucracy around who can add FAC tags, that’s a reason to be more selective in what actually gets featured.

Anyone can nominate their own article for featuring
Since there’s no guarantee it will get featured, it’s nothing to worry about.
