"Do you have a subject that you think would do well as a featured article and on which you would like to see an article? Request it here"

I don't really understand this. Is this really meant to be a place to request not only articles as Sensei's Wishlist but good articles to feature them soon? I don't believe any delegation of work should be encouraged, in the current state "I want and someone else please do." requests simply don't fly.
