Introduction

To vote or nominate you have to be a registered user with at least one contribution that is not a vote. Anyone who does so is encouraged to make at least one edit per vote or nomination to the currently chosen article, Dan Lim (random unreferenced BLP of the day for 6 Sep 2024 - provided by User:AnomieBOT/RandomPage via WP:RANDUNREF). Any and all articles may be nominated except:

How to nominate

I
Add nomination

Copy and paste the following template to the bottom of the list of nominations on this page and fill it out.
Please be sure to spell the article correctly, THE NAME IS CASE-SENSITIVE! 

==={{la|Article}}===
{{acid|start=September 6, 2024|votes=1}}
<!-- Remember to update the vote counter when you place your vote! -->
; Support:
# ~~~~

; Comments:
* (put your reason for nomination) --~~~~

----

Under "comments" section put explanation of what work is needed.

II
Notify

After submitting the new nomination, go to the nominated article's talk page and put this at the top: 

{{ACIDnom}}

How to vote

Sign with "# ~~~~" on the end of the list of the article you want to vote for and then update the vote count in the subhead. Opposing votes are not counted; see approval voting. You can vote for as many articles as you like. Additionally you can give a comment in the comment section; use terms such as appalling and shocking sparingly, remember that every editor that has ever edited a nominated article probably did so to the best of his of her ability.

How the article is selected

Article with the most votes every two weeks or so is selected as "The current Article Improvement Drive article". If two articles have same number of votes, the nominee with the higher number of hits per day over the previous month wins. The following template:

{{Template:ACIDcur}}

is placed atop the article talk page.

How an article is removed from the list

Nominated articles remain on this page for three "selections", after which that article entry is removed from and moved to the page for removed nominations.

Notes


New nominiations go *AT THE BOTTOM* :-)

  • With the recent hubbub and demotion to "dwarf planet" status, this once-fine article needs to be fixed up by us.
  • I spent 6 hours cleaning it up, if it still needs cleaning, vote. Else, unvote! :) Electrawn 01:37, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is a poor and confusing article. I hope this become a neutral, reliable, and clean article. It will be very hard, because we know nothing about it, maybe that it is why most of the article is not about Pluto itself, but its classification (which does not seem balanced BTW). Thus, it seems a 19th century astronomy article. :S But surely there are several scientific papers concerning physical aspects of Pluto, theories, etc... --Pedro 13:37, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Does anyone have a better photo? --Farquaadhnchmn 22:29, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Of course not! No one's gone that far out with a working camera/ sattelite. Be amazed that we could retrieve that.
  • Despite its demotion, Pluto still deserves the best article we can muster! --Gray PorpoisePhocoenidae, not Delphinidae 16:10, 7 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is a subject very near and dear to my heart. coffee's peer, tea, is already a featured article. Now that the FA nomination of the previous object of my obsession, caffeine, seems to be coming to a successful conclusion, this article seems like a logical followup. The current status of the article is only barely acceptable in its current form, so it needs quite a bit of work to reach FAS.

  • Former featured article demoted for lack of citing sources. Also a former COTW - was a very fun and popular collaboration a while back. Needs some fact checking and some sourcing of material. Should be a fun and easy-to-accomplish project to regain Featured Article status.
