My post, to which this replied, was actually trying to point out something about our
metaphorical take, also.
I think our quality control talk usually does go along these lines: skim off or cull the
layer of worst articles; cream off the best and call them Featured, or whatever.
What's wrong with that? Nothing in there about hypertext. It's still per article,
not speaking to navigation, orphanhood, incoming links as a metric and so on. Imagine a
recently-created but much-needed stub article. One would hope the incoming links were
noted before it was speedied for lack of sources.
