Welcome to FAC
Hi and thank you for your nomination to FAC. A few pointers on the process and how to get the best from it:

What to expect
 * As a first time nominator at FAC, the nominated article will need to pass a source-to-text integrity spot check and a review for over-close paraphrasing in addition to all of the usual requirements.
 * You should be aware that every aspect of the article will be rigorously examined, including the standard of prose; breadth, standard and formatting of sources; image licencing; and adherence to the Manual of Style.

Dealing with reviewers
 * Try to deal with comments in a timely and constructive fashion.
 * Remember that reviewers are constructively giving their opinion on the article.
 * Keep calm when dealing with criticism of any aspect of the article.
 * Don't take the criticism personally: reviewers are examining the article – not you!

How to get the best from the process
 * Reviewing the work of others is a good way to get a grasp of the process from the other side.
 * Reviewing other FACs also increases the likelihood that others will review your nomination – although remember there is no quid pro quo at FAC.

Good luck with your nomination. Gog the Mild (talk) 18:19, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for the welcome. Looking forward to going through the process (despite a few nerves, naturally, as a first-timer at FAC!) Craig  (talk)  19:55, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
