::::::While I agree that there is some good to be had from re-allowing previously featured contents, I fear that this may lead to issues like creating a league of perennial winners, such as the likely candidate in the form of Bella Goth. Some measure must be placed to ensure that we won't have the same things winning over and over again unless all the feature-worthy contents have been featured.

:::::::Very true. There are other issues as well that would need to be considered. Who would determine when or if content was re-featured? Would it be selected randomly, on a regular recurring basis, or would there be a user, group of users, or the community there to curate content? What would the criteria be for re-featuring; would we evaluate articles, for instance, to ensure they're still featured article-worthy? Would there be a limit on how often or how frequently a particular piece of content is featured? Just some food for thought. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 04:59, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
::::::::In response to how often content will be used I think that featuring it at most once a year seems to be a fair time period. I've also thought up something else, which is editing the template for featured content to show several different articles through <nowiki><choose></nowiki> tags. This would mean we could set a bunch of articles and every time the main page would be loaded it would be pretty likely the user would see different featured content. To ensure that the same stuff isnt continually selected we could do what I said with some formof selection committee, or at the very least place it at the discretion of administrators. {{WHsig|10:45, January 5, 2015 (UTC)}}
