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 April 16.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

 * Just like Malla, it's really short. And unlike his wife, Chewie has way more info! Why are some of the major character's articles short? It's still a mystery..... -- Cato Neimoidia 19:58, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Definitely. If we put Malla on improvement, Chewie needs it even more.--Breathesgelatin 07:41, 22 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Chewie is like an underapreciated side-kick; he deserves a better page!--Anonymous 21:59, 14 March 2006
 * Sorry, but only register users can take part in community votes. You bring up a good point though. -- SFH 00:08, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

 * This article has only one picture which is an insignificant battle. Come on, people, the Republic Navy is about 25,000 years old and we need more images and a longer history section. I am amazed at how much bigger the list is compared to the history. If you are a fan of the Galactic Republic particularly its military forces, I suggest that you vote.
