Editors considering their first nomination, and any subsequent nomination before their first FA promotion, are '''strongly advised''' to [[Wikipedia:Mentoring for FAC|seek the involvement of a mentor]], to assist in the preparation and processing of the nomination. Nominators must be sufficiently familiar with the subject matter and sources to deal with objections during the featured article candidates (FAC) process. Nominators who are not [https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo significant contributors to the article] should consult regular editors of the article before nominating it. Nominators are expected to respond positively to constructive criticism and to make efforts to address objections promptly. An article should not be on Featured article candidates and Peer review or [[WP:GAN|Good article nominations]] at the same time. | Before nominating an article, nominators may wish to receive feedback by listing it at [[Wikipedia:Peer review|Peer review]].
