[edit] Anastasius Sinaita

Well, you've certainly hit the ground running and for that, kudos! Now you've done an amazing amount of work on this article today and that is impressive but the problem is that the article isn't yet featured article quality. The most obvious single difficulty with it is its length. We normally expect featured articles to be a minimum of 1500 words and this is barely half that. The other difficulty, as you freely acknowledge, is that there is probably not sufficient information available to expand this to the required length. The normal route for a featured article is for it to be peer reviewed as an early stage so that specialist input can be obtained. To be candid, from my experience of FAC, this article, in its current form, will fail but will in the process absorb the energies of over-worked reviewers. May I suggest that you withdraw the article, for the time-being, from featured article candidacy and instead devote time to working it up to meet all the usual criteria? I hope you don't mind me writing to you in these terms but it can be very disheartening for a new editor to have their cherished work mauled at FAC and you are obviously someone who has much to contribute to Wikipedia in the longer term. If you do decide to withdraw the article, and it is my strong recommendation that you do do so, you simply need to post Withdrawn ~~~~ on the nomination page. Withdrawing the article at an early stage, before it acquires any opposes, means the withdrawal will not appear in the article's history. --ROGER DAVIES talk 19:31, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for withdrawing the article: I'm sure it was the right decision :) Good luck and best wishes, --ROGER DAVIES talk 04:51, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
