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 April 9.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

 * All of the X-wing comics and novels are summed up in 10 sentences. Plus, shouldn't this have a roster? -- Ozzel 04:00, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It is a total shame that the article is in that condition. The most famous squadron in the galaxy gets nothing more than a short and stubby article. We need to fix this ASAP. AdmiralNick22 16:03, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Seriously. Most of the 3 Rogue Squadron video games are summed up in one sentence. #Odintheking 18:00, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I am still getting used to the format and such here but I would love to help out. There is so much about the Rogue Squadron; it's one of the few entities that has comics, books, and games all focusing on it.Breathesgelatin 07:38, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Rogue Squadron is pretty much my favorite area of Star Wars. I still laugh when I think of some of their jokes. I just wish Stackpole had pumped out 20 more books about them. *sigh* --OompaLoompa of DOOM 05:18, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Just like Malla, it's really short. And unlike his wife, Chewie has way more info! Why are some of the major character's articles short? It's still a mystery..... -- Cato Neimoidia 19:58, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Definitely. If we put Malla on improvement, Chewie needs it even more.--Breathesgelatin 07:41, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

 * This article has only one picture which is an insignificant battle. Come on, people, the Republic Navy is about 25,000 years old and we need more images and a longer history section. I am amazed at how much bigger the list is compared to the history. If you are a fan of the Galactic Republic particularly its military forces, I suggest that you vote.

Currently, it has no pictures and has been lifted from an older version of the New Republic article. I have the will to do so but no the skill. Please help if you care.

 * This article is too plain and boring. We seriously need some pics on the page. Jasca Ducato 20:31, 30 March 2006 (UTC)


 * The problem with pics is that they're a user interface option. Once there is a canonical Exile, it will become viable.--Erl 00:03, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
 * The portrait picture that already appears, is his canonical appearance (unless they change their mind). I propose someone creates a character customized with this 'head' and takes some screenshots :) MoffRebus 13:16, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * 'Cept it isn't, really. Tasty wants the Exile to be female, and promo images for RotJ do show Luke w/ a blue saber . . . not a fair comparison, I know, just pointing out how much they've changed their minds in the past--Erl 23:24, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree and I also suspect that the Jedi Exile is going to pop up as a character somehow in the KOTOR comics series. Or perhaps the backstory will somehow be involved in KOTOR III, who knows? It'll be more important to put him/her on improvement at that point. - Breathesgelatin 01:59, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
