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 19.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

 * 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)

 * I tried to get this nominated for the Featured Article. Obviously, it didn't work. I'd really like to get it up to the point where I can nominate it for FA status and NOT have it rejected.TIEPilot051999 17:29, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The description of the opposition to the Empire is pretty vague. The Battle of Hoth is not mentioned, the treachery of Admiral Harkov and Grand Admiral Zaarin is not mentioned (especially bad since Zaarin was a major opposition to the empire)R-4117:25, 11 March 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)

 * 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)

 * Makes a huge deal out of his regretting the role, at the expense of almost all other information. Just plain too short, either way. CooperTFN 23:40, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * That section should be placed farther down with less emphasis if this does get expanded. Is that how we want to remember Alec? -- Riffsyphon1024 22:00, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
