To be quite honest, I believe I speak for a number of Wiki Admins if I say here that we do not necessarily have the time, patience and endurance required to go through a multitude of articles to find one fit for nomination.

It was in the intent of the first edition of the Featured Article that the feature be run primarily by the community, with the Administrators stepping up to ensure the votes were counted fairly and that the chosen article was presented on the front page.
