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.


 * For larger-scale collaborative projects, see WookieeProjects.

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. Please add new nominations at the bottom.

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.

 * 1) Same reasons Ki-Adi Mundi was last week's improvment drive. It needs a lot of sources, has two redlinks,apppearded in two of the prequels so it needs to be expanded.--Windu223 21:21, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

 * I think it would actually be useful to have the index up here. It would be a useful resource when trying to research articles to know if the FF covered the subject. I have been unable to find an index elsewhere online. --Eyrezer 01:21, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That's a great Idea, but do you have any idea how big that index is? I've got the Dutch version and I'd be happy to try and translate it, but it might be best if someone that has the actual English index worked on this. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 14:55, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Quite large is it? I also think this task is a relatively easy one to complete. --Eyrezer 23:15, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's quite large, I don’t know the exact number of pages but I’ll let you know about that when I get home (that will be about 9 hours from now). But if someone with the English version would work on it, it would be done in about an hour, I think. But if I had to translate it from mine (the Dutch version) it would take me about a week. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 06:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Got it, it's about 30 pages of text with a few images. That would make the article a bit long. But we could also just put in a list of all articles the FF covered, that's about 4 pages of the index. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 19:22, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, a list of the articles covered is more what I had in mind, rather than the specific pages etc. --Eyrezer 03:09, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

 * 1) The last nominations failed, but as Obi-Wan says "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine"
