Wikipedia talk:Featured article criteria

Should understandability be added to the featured article criteria? And if so, which wording should be used?

It should be added to the well-written criterion as
1. well-written: its prose is engaging, understandable to a broad audience, and of a professional standard;
2. well-written: its prose is engaging, understandable to its audience, and of a professional standard;
It should be a separate criterion: 1g. Understandable to its audience.
Status quo: no explicit mention

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Capital letters

Should the spirit and intent of usually capitalized in sources at MOS:MILTERMS be taken as consistent with the general advice on capitalisation given in the lead of MOS:CAPS or is the spirit and intent to create a substantially different and lower threshold for capitalising the types of events named.
