User blog comment:Jet'ika/Featured Article/@comment-3507136-20130930105322

The reason we don't have featured articles is because of when we did, certain user's put it on everything they made, and where we're not able to check all the pages at once, certain ones can get away with it.

However, good as the idea is, it would prevent any marine staff from getting their work commended as it would be considered unfair or as if they got it because they're marines or some such, tarnishing it.

So as awesome as it is, it has as many cons as it does pros in my own opinion :/
