No, it's a matter of whether a page meets standards. It's not like evaluating the aesthetic worth of a painting or a piece of music. For Sac Chess, I brought its page up to standards before featuring it.
is not so true, see the last discussion with HG
Can you elaborate or link?
is not "an editor", it is you.
I am an editor, and other editors could if they took the initiative.
As being the big boss of that process, you should refrain from having your own games in it. Sorry to say, but it's obvious.
It's not obvious, because it's a multi-tier selection process that is not controlled by a single individual. Like everyone else, I cannot nominate or second my own games, and I have not done that. Also, it would be unfair to the people who did nominate and second my games to disqualify them. In fact, you nominated Gross Chess, and two other people seconded it before I featured it. In selecting games for a particular month, I have also factored in how many people had favorited them, and at that time, Gross Chess was favorited by more people than any other game that had been nominated and seconded. It was on this basis that I featured it ahead of some other games that had also been nominated and seconded. Since then, I have featured other games in the order of how many people have favorited them. The only more favorited game I've featured since then has been Chu Shogi, which had not yet been seconded at the time.
Additionally, because I have been making the final selection, I have been refraining from seconding games, and until recently, I have not nominated any game. Nominating and seconding games as much as others have would give me too much control over the process. So, I normally leave those steps of the process up to others. If I gave myself this power, then I would have seconded and featured Metamachy, but I don't want to diminish the control that others have over the process.
