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.

 * 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  ( Hey! ) 13:12, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

 * My thinking is this: look at the top of this page. "The improvement drive is a collaboration to improve existing articles to Featured article status." It's not just for articles that shouldn't suck as bad as they do. Let's take an already decent article and make it one of our best. Some FA's are better when done by one person, but I think something like this would be better for the whole community to work on. Everybody can a section of it and make it the best it can be. And then, we can all source the "trivia" section. So, whaddaya say? -- Ozzel 21:46, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. Kara Jinn 01:53, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * What's really needs fixing first? I'd combime and/or cut back on the Trivia and References to OT section, but others wouldn't like it. -03:40, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Gallery of scenes cut from Star Wars

 * Ok, so here's the deal. A good deal of these Pics are only in this gallery. That means that unless they are used in an article some where else, they get tanked. This is, I believe an important aspect of the whole universe, so this is what I propose: Turn this Gallery into a full blown Article. And soon. Some of the Ep IV pics are up for deletion this round. Details as to the events depicted, the persons involved, and maybe even why the scene was cut from the film in question. I'm not sure which would be better, to
 * 1) create a new article/articles
 * 2) Move/expand existing article.


 * Much commentiness would be appriciated in this matter--Amthyst fire 18:52, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Dak Ralter

 * Nominated April 10, 2007; needs 2 votes by April 17, 2007

 Support
 * 1) That article has not been expanded for about a month.(It may of been longer because i'm new to wookiepedia)There is nothing to expand in it. (SEE:Senate Hall, Stub)It is short and it needs improvment.--Windu223 13:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Comments
 * Did you ever wonder the reason it was so small? Here at Wookieepedia, we strive to read every book, watch every movie, see everything there is about Star Wars. Dak Ralter died in Empire Strikes Back, so his history doesn't continue much after that. His before-time history also doesn't give much that isn't already there.

 * You know what, I agree. He had a short life, so there isn't anything to add.--Windu223 17:40, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Needs plenty of work. It could benefit from more images, expansion, sectioning, and pretty much everything else.-- Donovan Hay'lya [[Image:Clan Alya (Bothan).jpg|20px]](Conference Room) 22:37, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
