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 21.

 * If I were British I'd likely say this article is currently worth a pile of sweaty bollocks. MarcK 17:06, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Got that right. It needs some major expansion in several areas, as well as improvement and correction in others.  I'm with you on this one! AngelQueen 22:56, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

 * Just look at this article! It's atrocious!
 * Indeed...I've always thought it would be good to break this up into separate articles, so that would be the first goal in my mind if this wins. MarcK 14:12, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * I had worked extensively on the article on the main site. I merely copied and pasted from there to here. A great improvement over what was there before. I am new to the whole "wookieefy" concept. I have mainly worked on star wars pages on the main site. Lately, though, my star wars edits, well, haven't exactly been accepted (due to my extreme elaboration on minor details).

 * Update: I decided on my own to work on this article - it's been substanitally overhauled or "wookified". Take a look - Hollis
