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 February 26.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

 * 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)
 * This is a MISERABLE article! Cato Neimoidia 15:42, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * If there was actually that much EU sources about her, shouldn't someone make additions to the article by now, even before its selection? It has remained the same since January it was nominated!! MoffRebus 09:42, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I would add some more if I could, but the only sources I've read with her are Tyrant's Test and A Forest Apart. Even the CUSWE artcle is in dire straits. -- SFH 20:07, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * This probably isn't appealing enough to have a shot, but I thought I'd give it the ol' college try. Here's the trick: the article itself is fine&mdash;it's just a list, after all. The problem is that it's about 70% redlinks. Aziz and I have chipped away at it a little so far, but if we got several people on board and maybe assigned letter ranges or something, it could actually be feasible to finish it. And just think of the boost to our article count. Anyone up to the challenge? CooperTFN 06:48, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * This is the sort of work I absolutely love doing. Strong support. --Imp 07:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I like this idea, but I don't really have that many SW books/comics/etc, which could limit my usefulness. If there are sources online that I could use, I would definitely help. Letter ranges is a great idea, especially if we get a decent number of people. RMF 23:05, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * CUSWE is pretty sure-fire for something like this, especially since that's where the list came from. CooperTFN 00:28, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I've started writing articles for all the red links. I'll be finished in a few days. Hopefully! -Danik Kreldin 08:29, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It's been a stub for way too long, at it needs more facts as well. I just came from it, and it said that Borsk Fey'lya was Chief of State instead of Leia. -- SFH 02:00, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Definately needs more; a single paragraph for an event spanning three books? - Kwenn 21:05, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Between the three BFC books, the two Essential Chronologies and bits spread across the other Essential Guides, and Cracken's Threat Dossier, there is a LOT of info about this event out there. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  21:03, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

 * One of the greatest military units and its still a stub
 * What is this? There are articles about background characters that 75%+ of Wookieepedians don't know about that are better than this! And this is a video game! Cato Neimoidia 15:49, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * This article doesn't do the Delta's justice. It needs much more expansion on the missions they undertook.
