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 counted as negative votes. 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) I highly doubt more than one of Palpatines clones had time to escape the Death Star II let alone one clone, it's a long way down that reactor. Darthjamikal 00:19, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Uh, none of his clones were even on the second Death Star to begin with. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 18:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Comments
 * Erik Pflueger and 4dot are currently collaborating on a massive overhaul of this article already. I think it might needlessly complicate things if Palpatine became an IDrive article too.  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 12:37, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with Gonk. Placing that kind of attention on Palpatine might disrupt the flow of what they are doing there, and I think they are doing an excellent job of returning Palpatine to FA already. Not to mention that the reason given doesn't make any sense. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 13:47, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Gray Jedi

 * Nominated July 26, 2007; needs 2 votes by August 2, 2007

Support
 * 1) Jedi Kasra 02:52, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Comments
 * What improvements did you have in mind, Kasra? The only improvement I could see here is the miraculous discovery of other canonically identified Gray Jedi, and even if some have been missed (and I doubt it), that doesn't justify a whole IDrive.  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 12:37, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * All unverified information has recently been removed from that article and I think an Improvement Drive will only invite more Fanon. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 14:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Socorro

 * Nominated July 30, 2007; needs 2 votes by August 6, 2007

Support
 * 1) Alpha 1286 15:01, 30 July 2007 (UTC) There is much more about Socorro in the sources. Too bad I've sold my books...
