| − | Proof that "nothing escapes the eye of the mods", I am going to salvage a particular deleted comment to bring up some points about the AotW.

| − | What worries me about the "Article of the Week" is the same thing that worried people with the Page of the Month. This very first [AotW] is a page of one of PDB mods friends...<br>and the quote taken from the article is quote written by a character of one of the mods. This might all be a coincidence...but it seems like it's just another "popularity/favorites"<br>game.

| − | I know you might be skeptical about this, but please remember that it's '''''only the first week''''': you're going to need to give the program some time to run its course before you start poking holes in it. I can tell you that I was the one who posted the kickoff entry, and despite the fact that I'm a mod, I actually have very little familiarity with the rest of the CO community (even among those who post here, heck, among the mods themselves).

| − | Remember what I said about the problem with recognition programs not being easy to solve? There's always going to be something "unknown" or "wrong" if people ''keep looking for things to pick on''-- whether it be the process of how we're even running the AotW, the fact that a certain subset of the community has a dominating presence on the website, to who happens to know who, the fact that you simply might not like the character/player that gets their turn in the limelight for a week for whatever reason.

| − | PotM was flawed because the community made it that way (due to breaking the nomination process), and then the fixes we tried to put in place sealed its fate. How we're doing the AotW now is no less flawed, since we mods now have a target on our heads for people to throw rocks at at the slightest pattern. This being the internet, we know our words aren't good enough, but we're going to have to ask you to trust us on this <small>(Twelve forbid us filming ourselves clicking on the Random Page button every week to appease the masses)</small>. --'''Δ [[User:Epelesker|Epelesker]]''' ([[User talk:Epelesker|talk]]) 20:47, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
