By Zscout370, September 26, 2005

Six users became administrators this week. Meanwhile, four articles and eleven pictures gained featured status, and three articles also lost their featured status.

Admins

Six users were granted administrator status - Oleg Alexandrov (nom), Brookie (nom), IceKarma (nom), Doc glasgow (nom), Ixfd64 (nom) and R. fiend (nom). There also was debate on the possible reform of the requesting process, mostly involving the use of edit counts.

Four articles were promoted to featured article status: Flag of Belarus, Katamari Damacy, Read my lips: no new taxes and Spoo. Three articles, Io (moon), Chinatown and Bioinformatics, had their featured status removed.

There were no featured lists promoted this week.

These are the eleven pictures promoted to featured status:
