Stein, K., & Hess, C. (2007). Does it matter who contributes: A study on
featured articles in the German Wikipedia. In HT '07: Proceedings of the
eighteenth conference on hypertext and hypermedia (pp. 171-174). ACM.

And using the same method from Stein & Hess, we can draw similar conclusions
for all the largest Wikipedias, specially in the case of English.

4.5, starting on page 129).

may prohibit their nomination at FA, but rules at GA do not
