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 May 7.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

 * As the composer for the music of Star Wars, I think Williams needs a bigger article with more detail. I mean come on, Star Wars is mch less without the music! --MaulYoda 17:58, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * Thought I'd give another actor page a whirl; this one's almost as bad as Sir Alec's was/is. CooperTFN 07:10, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I support the idea of improving the actor pages. If they don't start winning ID, maybe interested parties should start a WookieProject. - Breathesgelatin 09:42, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I suggest we'd rather concentrate on in-universe articles, I'm fine with actor articles being stubs with links to Wikipedia. - Sikon [ Talk ] 14:38, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

 * This has been nominated 3 times! Geez people lets get it right! -- Cato Neimoidia 22:18, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Why is it that he fails so often? Is it the ambiguously gay tendencies? Is it because he's British? Is it because people don't like the color yellow? Why can't people learn to love this poor droid? -- SFH 04:49, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It's sad that an article on something in the EU like the Chiss is better than Threepio's article. Cutch 04:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments
 * For all the controversy, debate, criticism, and ret-cons that this subject has caused, our article doesn't even begin to do it justice. -- Ozzel 18:51, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. We need a reasonably in-depth article, not a 5-line stub. Red XIV 09:00, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
