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.


 * For larger-scale collaborative projects, see WookieeProjects

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 8.

 * Nominated March 28, 2007; needs 4 votes by April 11, 2007

Comments Interesting premise, Xwing.
 * How this will work:
 * 1) Add Information to all image description pages.
 * 2) Tag the "attention" field with No source and/or No license as appropriate.
 * 3) Straigthen out, source, describe, and tag all other things. Whistler recently went through to straighten up much of this mess, but he's not actually intelligent, so further work is needed. For example. The licensing of an image might have been placed in the description field, or outside of the template altogether. 18:08, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

 * This is a new article pertaining with the new Legacy series, needs to be worked on.--Mathieu121 13:28, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
 * We can't really improve it that much, we must be patient and wait for at least Sacrifice to come out before complaining about it. There isn't much we can do until something new comes out about it. I'll do what I can to help though. --Darthchristian 13:12, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
