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.

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 August 14.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

 * Comments:
 * If you want to talk about asstastic, Lando's article is the assiest ass that ever assed. MarcK 22:07, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Lando is always pushed to the back of the queue, lets not have it happen again. RevengeOfTheBits 22:41, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * One vote for the super-space stud. :P --Riffsyphon1024 17:07, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Lando always struck me as having bigger cojones than Luke Skywalker. He deserves a better article, especially about his pre-ESB exploits which I know almost nothing about. -- Darth Culator 22:56, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

 * Comments:
 * Obi-Wan is as common in the pre-ANH EU as Luke is in the post-ANH, and like Lukey-boy, Ben's got a article that totally skips over the first twenty-five years of his life! QuentinGeorge 06:46, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * A more refined article for a more civilized age gets my vote over General Colt .45 any day. --Kuralyov 17:18, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Surely the Kenobi article needs work, but with all the new Clone Wars era material to process, the project may require significant groundwork before we can make an effective set of changes. --SparqMan 05:41, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)
