Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Article improvement drive

Article Improvement Drive

This week's football improvement drive is part of the WikiProject on Football and is a weekly collaboration to improve football (soccer) articles to featured article status. Past collaborations are found on the history page, while removed nominations may be found on the removed nominations page. Previous winners that have gone on to become featured articles can be found at Featured collaborations.

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. To nominate an article, you can copy the template that you will below. 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, the nomination is an approval voting. In case of a tie, the candidate that was nominated first wins. Articles need three votes per week to stay on the list. You can vote for as many articles as you like. As with any other vote on Wikipedia, sockpuppets are banned.

Renominating

An article that is removed from the nominations list for failing to receive the required number of votes by the stipulated date cannot be renominated till one month after the date it is moved to the current removed nominations page.

Considerations for nominators and voters

• Giving reasons as to why an article should become the Football AID may convince others to cast their vote.
• Can the wider football community easily contribute to the article? Or is it something only a small number of people will know about?
• Is the article one which you are prepared to work on?

Nominations

The next project article is to be selected on Sunday April 15.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of this section.

Lincolnshire Senior Cup

Nominated April 2 2007; needs at least 3 votes by April 9 2007

Reason:

Despite being somewhat of a niche subject, I believe that this article needs some serious cleaning up. I've done the best I can so far to improve this article, however, due to lack of information, I'm having trouble adding more. There's also many disputes as to who was the outright winner of a said competition, or whether it was shared or not. Everyones knowledge may solve this problem!
