Articles are selected for promotion on the basis of substantive new content, clear argument, good writing, popularity, and importance. Promoted articles appear on the Less Wrong home page. Non-promoted articles are still available in the other views, such as New or Popular.
But it doesn’t say who does the selection. I thought it was only Eliezer. Can anyone else promote an article? Can anyone un-promote an article? Is there a vote? A sum of up-down votes from editors? What?
These editors (currently me, Alicorn and Louie) don’t do the promoting. I assume only Eliezer does that. We just fix the technical problems with markup in the text of the posts or tags on them etc.
See also: Moderation by Editors section on the wiki. This page lists all edits made by editors.
That link says,

I think only Eliezer currently does promoting, but I think Robin Hanson and wmoore also have the ability to.
I second this question. I would like to know the list of people who promote. I also would love to see who promotes what. Is this already possible?
Thank you for the link.
I think the title “Site features” is not ideal for this topic. I am probably doing it wrong but only found it after I knew it existed in the wiki.
