The FA Writing Machines are a group of users that expand articles at a rapid rate, effectively making certain topics "complete" in their coverage and therefore "FA-worthy". A user does not need to apply to be in this group, they simply are or are not in this group. As a user and admin of Wookieepedia, I fully respect FA-machines, and try to better my own writing and contributions by "tracking" these users and admiring their work. I'm not entirely sure how the "movement" of FA Writing Machines occurred, but I do want to write down a rather egotistical "history" of the FA Writing Machine movement.
