Article Improvement Drive
Article Improvement Drive
Shortcut

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 28 January.

Please add new nominations at the bottom of the page.

Hillsborough disaster

Nominated January 17 2007; needs at least 6 votes by January 31 2007
Reason:

I've just come across this article and was amazed it wasn't even rated by WP Football. A vitally important article in itself, obviously; but also for understanding the changes that have taken place in football both in the UK and across Europe in the last twenty years.

Comments:

There seems to be a lot of good information already in the article but it needs (1) citing, (2) wikifying, and (3) a general cleanup. --Jim (Talk) 22:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've made some small edits to it so i'll see what I can do during the improvement drive in terms of citing sources. Whilding87 00:15, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rinus Michels

Nominated January 17 2007; needs at least 6 votes by January 31 2007
Reason:

Michels was named "Coach of the century" by FIFA in 1999 [1] and masterminded the total football system that took his Dutch team to the World Cup final in 74 and won the European Championship in 88. The current article is terrible considering what kind of impact this man had on football. JACOPLANE • 2007-01-17 23:25

Comments:

Toulouse FC

Nominated January 19 2007; needs at least 3 votes by January 26 2007
Reason:

There's only a stub of this French Ligue One club, so it needs to be expanded to the full extent of this club, includes history, famous players and coaches, uniforms, etc.
