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 March 12.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

Comments
 * This page needs to be MUCH more detailed then it is. We have entire books on this subject (Jedi Trial, MedStar, etc.) and it's barely 3 sentances.
 * This could be a lot better. -- SFH 04:15, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Important subject, we need a good article. - Alpha Fire 22:46, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Just sad. One of the (some believe THE) most important organizations in the history of the galaxy.
 * Definitely needs our help.
 * As arguably one of the most important organizations in galactic history, this page is sorely in need to some work. Count me in. AdmiralNick22 18:07, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

 * He may have butchered half the known Galaxy, but even Tsavong Lah deserves better than this. -- SFH 06:35, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Loathe as I am to enter into implied contracts of any kind, or for that matter get off my fat @$$ (or on it, come to think of it) and do some work, this article is simply pathetic.--The Erl

 * I think we can do better than this. All those appearances (along with some probably not listed), and that's all we get? StarNeptune 01:00, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think a great deal of those appearances should be taken out. Or at least moved to List of Wookiee Appearances. CooperTFN 06:23, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Comments This is one of the most important topics in the Star Wars galaxy. The New Republic article is stubby and seems to be inefficient compared to the Galactic Alliance article. The history section can be expanded and some vocabulary corrections made. I am sure that if we put more effort into this article, it will be far better. MyNz 07:27 February 28 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. Compared to the Old Republic, the Empire, and the Galactic Alliance, this article is in trouble. -- SFH 15:45, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
