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.

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, March 11.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

 * 1) This article used to be decent, but it barely has any EU material, is POV, and full of present tense. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 16:34, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Support Comments
 * 1) --This article is defintely lacking in almost every way, failing to take into accout public opinion, in depth philosophy, and has haphazard organization. Revan&#39;s Bane 05:42, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) -- This article could use some work! User:Sarah22299
 * 3) Jedimca0

Maybe a WookieeProject would be worth considering? Something like "WookieProject Jedi"? ~ Jaywin
 * I think a WookieeProject would be much better. There are already way too many people editing it, which is probably how it got into this sorry state to begin with. Let's not invite every nerfherder who wanders by the main page to add his two cents.  Sarendipity  ( Talk to me ) 06:44, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, as I look at the current nominations for the Improvement Drive, I notice four article nominations that could easily be part of a Jedi WookieeProject: Jedi, New Jedi Order, Form II: Makashi, and Form III: Soresu. ~ Jaywin

 * 1) --Eyrezer 02:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC) While I think many parts of this article are good, the Yuuzhan Vong War section is atrocious and needs major expansion.

Massassi Station

 * Nominated March 10, 2007; needs 3 votes by March 17, 2007

Support Oppose
 * 1) Seems like the Rebels' main base could use more than three sentences, especially since it's given coverage in Inside the Worlds and Jedi Outcast. Gonk 15:28, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Comments --Darthchristian 11:10, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Since when was the Massassi Station not important enough to go into detail about it?
 * I don't think it's the lack of importance, but the lack of the right people knowing that the item needs attention.--Amthyst fire 21:42, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
