Wookieepedia:Improvement drive

The improvement drive is a collaboration to improve existing articles to Featured article status.


 * /History – For past winners.
 * /Failed – For failed nominations.

Nomination and voting
Articles to be improved can be nominated by registered users in the "nominations" section below, with an explanation of what work is needed. Please do not nominate articles involved in edit wars. Also, when nominating an article, please put IDRIVE on that article's page so as to inform any visitors of the page of its nomination.

When you vote, please add your vote to the vote total at the Current Ranking section, and make the necessary changes.

Each Sunday, the article with the most support votes is chosen. Opposing votes are not counted. You can vote for as many articles as you like. Articles need two votes per week to stay on the list.

Note: It is considered somewhat rude not to help improving articles you've voted for.

Collaboration
Here are some best practices to use while working on an article selected for the improvement drive:
 * 1. Plan your contribution. After an article has been chosen, it is a good idea to post your ideas for additions, changes and corrections for the topic on the article's talk page. You can then choose some of the listed contributions to avoid overlapping work.
 * 2. Be quick. Use . Once you have planned your work, make your edits quickly, but carefully. Articles chosen for the drive are the likely subjects of many rapid edits. By entering and exiting EDIT mode quickly, you can avoid another user saving a new edit before you have completed your work. If your edit will be more lengthy, place the  tag at the top of the article, save the edit to make the tag appear, and then begin your work.

Nominations

 * The next project article is to be selected on Sunday, November 12.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

 * Nominated due to poor grammer in the article, and per several user's suggestions -- Impassioned Jedi 03:09 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * There's way too many quotes in the article. Jaina Solo ( Goddess Stuff ) [[Image:Jaina_sig.jpg |25px]] 12:28, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * But this is nominated to be a featured article!-Crion Naxx
 * If you read the discussion there, many do not think it is anywhere close to being Featured Article quality.
 * I see no problem with the quotes, or at least the quotes that were removed without a proper discussion. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:13, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I did a major grammar overhaul, but I know that doesn't fix all of its problems. Just trying to do what I can, even though some of the grammar still needs work. -67.34.186.30 15:25, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I think that a subject as important as this one should have much more than a list with a small history section. It needs much more information. -  Angel Blue [[Image:Holocron negwt.jpg|20px]](Holonet) 22:00, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

 * This article is about one of the central action pieces of Return of the Jedi and the article is far from sadisfactory. I did some work on it, however, it is very sloppy and it still needs more information. Red Head Rider 20:38, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I have been trying to fix this article but I need help, it's just too big. This is arguably one of the most important articles and it is terrible. It is sloppy and lacks important information; the mojority of it is a list of Dark Jedi. Please support the dark side! Revan&#39;s Bane 22:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

The page only mentions that a Sith master is a Sith with a sith apprentice. The rest is only about the history of the use of the title and a list of Sith Masters. I think it would be better if it talked about the responsabilities of a Sith master, what he have do to his apprentice to make him a Sith (intiations, tests...), how a good Sith master would teach his apprentice and how he introduce the Dark Side to his apprentice.
