I wonder if this is because most projects don't have a proper A-class 
grading scheme, and often editors will just give A-grade article to GA 
(or even pre-GA class article) without much thought.

I wonder if your results would be stronger if you limited the analysis 
to A-class articles of projects that have an A-class review process 
(MILHIST and...?).

Interesting. I presume you mean Good Article (GA) class here. I wonder 
why those results are week - is it because Good Article reviewers 
standards vary much more widely than the Featured Article reviewers 
standards?
