Forum:SH Archive/Getting those big articles to status

I've been contemplating for a while the problem of getting the larger articles to feature status, and I've finally gotten around to posting my solution of sorts here. I was thinking that we could do a Wookiee Project of sorts that's main purpose is to get a single article to featured status. That would allow many users to contribute to a single article. We could try to have the article done it one year's time, and after that, the project would help maintain the article. We could start smaller to try the idea out if this is the way to go.

 * That sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Something sort of like the old improvement drives? Supreme Emperor (talk) 01:59, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * This has already been tried with Luke Skywalker. See User:Atarumaster88/Project Wormhead, User talk:Atarumaster88/Project Wormhead, and User:Atarumaster88/Wormhead Reloaded. This was started apparently in August 2007 and effectively died in 2009 with the article not even halfway done. In short, "one year's time" is a gross underestimation. That's not to say that it can't work if people really put the effort in and commit to it, just that the major characters are likely to take several years. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Holocomm 02:20, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
