final five recommendations

If you look at FAC, the process has a backlog. Many of the problems with promoting articles are due to copyediting type problems, image issues (Fair use problems and such), and other issues that are not necessarily related to core policy about neutrality or verifiability. Also, we have disputes on English Wikipedia between editors about FA and GA that cause people to leave Wikipedia. So, I'm not sure that the new status would resolve the problem. It might intensify them.

But that aside, I support the new role as long as we broaden the criteria to include more people that contribute to adding quality content. Like on Wikinews where they have editor as a status. Maybe make Senior Editor a role above novice editor. But I'm not sure that it needs to be exclusive to people that write FA. That is a very limited group and would cause massive problems if everyone tried to have their articles go through the FA process.
