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.

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, July 30.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

Comments
 * I know this is somewhat unusual, but it would be an excellent way to clear out our backlog of copyvios (we currently have 83, many from as far back as November of last year). Anybody else? RMF 17:22, 5 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah, we probably should do something about this. At the very least, we owe it to Bob Vitas for all the articles newbees and anons have stolen from him. -- SFH 17:29, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Cleaning this out is long overdue. I'm constantly tempted to just blast every page in this category. -- Darth Culator 18:08, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Maybe once it's on ID, we could delete any copyvio'd pages over a month old and start fresh. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 19:10, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Honestly, a planet which has been seen in a wide variety of sources has been neglected this badly?
 * This article in in desperate need of attention. For a planet with so much significance to the New Jedi Order Era, there is barely any information for it...

 * Right now, this article is pathetic. But if we fix it up I think it has the potential to be really cool.

 * As one of the four major Rebel starfighter types represented in the movies, this variant's article differs little from the databank version and has no significant history section other than the Battle of Endor, despite having appeared in a large number of books.

 * I looked at the page today and saw that there isn't much information at first glance. I feel that this page needs more information. Please help.
 * Cool, our usernames link! And we have similarities between them! We both have a reference to Second Sight! Well anyways, I'd like to know more about Lightsaber crystals. Maybe some more pictures will help - Vattic!
