Forum:SH:Canon article improvement

So there's been some ideas for canon barnstorms and stuff, but they haven't really gone anywhere because it's generally agreed that those who edit canon stuff are going to keep editing it anyway and it isn't going to really attract people who don't care about it. I had another idea. What if a group of us got together and tried to make a single canon article the best it could be, possibly with the goal of Good or Featured status, or barring that, simply improving it as much as we can? We could each agree to tackle a specific aspect of the article - say, one person agrees to work on the article History, another handles the Personality section, another handles creating articles from those links that are red, another covering Behind the scenes material, etc. etc. In order to help prevent edit conflicts, we could even each agree on a window of time during which each person on the project is allowed to edit that article - for example, each day from Noon to 2 eastern the article would be checked out to editor 1, then from 2 to 4 to editor 2, and so forth, or whichever times are most agreeable. I thought Character articles would be a good choice for this and if this idea sounds good to people, then I had these in mind as possible candidates:


 * Anakin Skywalker - I've already done a lot of work on this article. However, it still needs a lot of material in the History section particularly related to the Clone Wars, could use another once-over for grammar and style issues, and still has a lot of redlinks, among other issues.
 * Yoda - The Jedi's most powerful Master could really use a lot more detailed information in his History, as well as a Relationships section, more details about his powers and abilities, to name just a couple things.
 * Sheev Palpatine - On the flipside, we have the Dark side's most powerful Master, whose article needs a lot of the same things Yoda's does.
 * Chewbacca - Our number one Wookiee has a very incomplete History and pretty much no other biographical sections, such as Relationships.
 * Leia Organa - Our new Miss Star Wars could use a lot more detail in her History section, needs more Personality info and other information about traits and abilities.

So how about it? I'm sure that by working together we could make some better Canon articles for the top characters of Star Wars. ProfessorTofty (talk) 17:58, January 6, 2015 (UTC)
