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 January 29.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

Comments
 * This is sad. The info stops at the Black fleet crisis, and that is skimpy at best. I mean, its Lando's ship!
 * Yeah. Lando's yatch deserves better than this. -- SFH 19:59, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)

 * Chewbacca's wife deserves better than this. Come on people. SFH 22:24, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I concur. Adamwankenobi 22:31, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * One of the saddest articles/pages I've ever seen. No offense meant. Mirlen 04:08, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * In terms of the subject or the content? ;) Adamwankenobi 04:20, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Must you ask, you? :P, :D Definately terms of the content! &mdash;Mirlen 03:09, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Given that there's lots of info on her in the Chewbacca comics, this article can and must be expanded KEJ 15:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Woah. This is weird. It has an entire section of what happens to it in A New Hope, then cobbles everything after that into one small section, which gets vauger and vauger. Come on, its The Millenium Falcon!
 * Wow. We cannot consider ourselves Star Wars fans anymore. SFH 02:50, 16 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * We could expand the New Republic, Dark Nest and Swarm War sections and add information of his role during the Legacy Era. He certainly deserves a better article. One of the most famous Star Wars characters and he gets a really, stubby article. Let's show some respect for old Han by expanding it. We're already done his kids and wife, shouldn't we do the same for him? MyNz
 * Has needed serious post-Endor expansion for months. &mdash; Silly Dan 03:25, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Agree with MyNz. Mirlen 04:05, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * A fundamental part of Star Wars, yet the most substantial bit of text is about Mr. Data. What the hey? &mdash; Silly Dan
 * Yeah. What gives with that? -- SFH 18:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I added some general information, but it needs massive reorganization, more pictures, examples, etc. The article could (and should) be really good. --RMF 19:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

 * In serious need of a rewrite in some places. There are whole sections that focus on what other characters are doing at the time with only token mention of Mara.  What's wrong with this picture? --AngelQueen 17:58, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, however the last time it was up for nomination, it didn't make it. DarthMaul431 22:13, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Then we will just have to hope it wins this time. -- SFH 03:47, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Has been stuck on cleanup for far too long. I have attempted to clean up the article but without success. Come on, lets give it our best shot. -- MyNz 8:19, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
