(Sorry for a late response)

Obviously, not every article is perfect. Rather then listing all the bad articles, it would be more optimistic to highlight all the exceptionally good ones.

"The best" is sort of subjective, but I would guess it refers to articles that have no room for improvement or further expansion. Typically articles that are not: badly written, missing citations, prejudice, incomplete or extremely short.

An alternative reason would be to prompt editors into creating more pages worthy of being featured, therefore improving the wiki.

Admins MetallicKaiser and Eckilsax were the ones who originally implemented the featured articles section onto the main page a while ago and I wanted to expand on it.

Though I'm not really sure how to contact them about the matter.
