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.

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 March 5.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

Comments
 * This probably isn't appealing enough to have a shot, but I thought I'd give it the ol' college try. Here's the trick: the article itself is fine&mdash;it's just a list, after all. The problem is that it's about 70% redlinks. Aziz and I have chipped away at it a little so far, but if we got several people on board and maybe assigned letter ranges or something, it could actually be feasible to finish it. And just think of the boost to our article count. Anyone up to the challenge? CooperTFN 06:48, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * This is the sort of work I absolutely love doing. Strong support. --Imp 07:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I like this idea, but I don't really have that many SW books/comics/etc, which could limit my usefulness. If there are sources online that I could use, I would definitely help. Letter ranges is a great idea, especially if we get a decent number of people. RMF 23:05, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * CUSWE is pretty sure-fire for something like this, especially since that's where the list came from. CooperTFN 00:28, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I've started writing articles for all the red links. I'll be finished in a few days. Hopefully! -Danik Kreldin 08:29, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

 * The sad thing is that even some of the created stubs are in a lousy condition with no sources and/or badly written.--UVnet 09:39, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

 * This page needs to be MUCH more detailed then it is. We have entire books on this subject (Jedi Trial, MedStar, etc.) and it's barely 3 sentances.
 * This could be a lot better. -- SFH 04:15, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Important subject, we need a good article. - Alpha Fire 22:46, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
