Featured content could use a cleaning to keep it up to our standards, but I don't necessarily agree with completely resetting it, especially when it comes to the featured articles. The DYK would definitely benefit from a near complete reset as it's mostly old and outdated info.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 12:37, 16 September 2017 (EDT)
:Agreed on featured articles; most of those are still up to our standards, so a check-up would do rather than a complete reset. However, I think the same applies to DYK - myself and some others have been updating it from time to time, so I think selective revisions and removal of outdated info would be preferable to totally wiping it out.--[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 12:56, 16 September 2017 (EDT)
::Per above. There is a need for a review of past successful entries. We can also implement some form of "Featured for a fixed time" rule for future featured entries. In other words, featured Articles are only considered featured for a year or less and will be removed from circulation at the expiry thereof.
::As for the other proposals, I'm okay except for getting more patrollers. Any reason why we need to encourage users to sign up as patrollers? Given the current size of active users, I think the current size of the patroller group is quite sufficient. Phase 3 goes without needing a vote. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  13:52, 16 September 2017 (EDT)
:::Featured Content reset was more an umbrella for the following two areas 1.1 and 1.2(thought that was clear, reset as in selective reset, my bad regardless for the bad wording which I fixed now). Removing them all outright did seem a lil iffy in my original draft heh.  And I totally forgot the Did you know stuff, good call I added that in.
:::And "more Patrollers" is more longer term for if everything works out nearly perfectly in the intentions of Phase 2. As I am hoping our userbase will grow a lot larger due to everything.(probably hoping a little too high here but one can hope right?) Probably a Phase 3 thing really in hindsight as that is the long term stuff. :) New Blood is always a good thing to have also if they are trusted enough. Regardless I moved it to Phase 3 due to that realization. But if you still have a counter to it being a long term thing I will be ok removing it. It was always a area that struggled to find a place in one of the other areas. -[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 17:11, 16 September 2017 (EDT)
::::For Phase 3, I meant we need not have to vote on it because it's obvious Phase 3 will happen regardless. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  22:02, 16 September 2017 (EDT)
