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, August 20.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

Comments
 * I looked at the page today and saw that there isn't much information at first glance. I feel that this page needs more information. Please help.
 * How come the first 2 usernames link? Well anyways, I'd like to know more about Lightsaber crystals. Maybe some more pictures will help!
 * Needs more detail. Enough said. Atarumaster88 12:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * He's in a film, he hasn't got a single quote and his entire page is limited to two very small paragraphs, the actual Episode I stuff is barely a few lines....Jedi Dude 10:23, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yah, there's already some fanon about his fate, and it doesn't even mention his Helm of Pessissism!
 * I've added a few quotes and a pic, but this page still needs more detail. SecondSight 11:25, 09 August 2006
 * Maybe not a main character with a centre role, but needs work. - Vattic
 * Panaka was cool. In the episode 1 game you got to play as him and i got to round house kick a whining Anakin Chuck Norris Style. Dumac 05:26, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
