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, Óscar Pianetti (random unreferenced BLP of the day for 18 Apr 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=April 19, 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 nominations go *AT THE BOTTOM* :-)

Comments
  • This seems like a major topic. This was the pathway to the millenium and it still must have a place in everyone's hearts. Make it featured, Thamizhan 21:45, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Good Idea. A major topic like Pokémon should have a main article (Which in this case is: Pokémon!). That main article deserves to be featured.
  • It was/is a huge phenomenon for almost all ages and left a stepping stone to other similar games. The other similar card/video games, shows/movies to fall behind the shadow of Pokémon in a multitude of entertainment venues. Chastity Marks 14:11, 14 December 2006(UTC)
  • Ah, good old pokemon. I used to love this in 3rd grade. mirageinred 00:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article is really messy and doesn't tell enough!
  • Very messy article, but an important topic nonetheless.
  • I do not believe that this article should be improved to FA status, as it is not an article of utmost importance. Considering the fact that Universe is listed on here, which is probably the most important article on Wikipedia, I believe that that article should win. DavyJonesGSB
    • There are too many articles about Pokemon for this page to be messy! I for one have looked up Pokemon on Wikipedia before, but never the Universe. This is an important article to clean up. --// >|< Shablog 00:39, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Why can't this article be improved to FA status? It has just as much right as an FA as Universe does. All articles, regardless of their topic matter, are all still articles, and should be treated equally. Pokemon IS an important part of the popular culture of Japan and America, not to mention many other places around the world. It's also importiant in the history of Video Games, and the company which it came from, Nintendo. While Universe is quite important, don't get me wrong, I see no reason why this can't co-exist as an FA with it. While you chew on that, go read Exploding Whales and say what you said agian. Jeri-kun 01:58, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article is very messy, I think it should be cleaned up. pirkid 04:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • How can it be improved though? The current AID winner is a complete waste of nomination, because there is little that could be done to improve it. BlueLotas 05:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Its not so much that it needs a lot of improvement (content wise, although some content things have been identified), but its more the fact that it requires a lot of people to go through the article and clean it up, source things, and fix some sad parts with prose and other things. Not to mention refrences, and a crapload of them. We need as many referneces as we can get. And referencing an article of this size TOTALLY is extremely hard to do with the "task force" we have now at PCP. Jeri-kun 01:58, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Providing detailed information on our own website is vital. The "To Do" list on the talk page includes getting Wikipedia to featured status. Gray PorpoisePhocoenidae, not Delphinidae 20:50, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • High time this article was promoted to FA status again. CloudNine 21:33, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Wikipedia wiki page always needs work. Sharkface217 00:36, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It looks like another Pluto to me - that page received few improvements as well because the page was already quite large and most of the work was in trying to resolve disputes. The Wikipedia page is already paid attention to enough, and the subject matter is not interesting to the average person either. IMHO of course. Mithridates 09:10, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:ASR says that we are supposed to refrain from self-reference. Clearly there does need to be an article about Wikipedia itself - but paying excessive attention to it because it is a Wikipedia article about Wikipedia is not good. Ask yourself whether you would be so quick to support a nomination for a drive to improve (say) YouTube or Slashdot? If the answer is "No" then you are promoting self-reference and that's against policy. If your answer is "Yes" then please look at the pages for all similar 'social' web sites and encyclopedias, dictionaries, etc - I guarantee that some of those are in greater need of improvement than Wikipedia. Either way, IMHO, one should not support this nomination. SteveBaker 17:32, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Our most important article. :-) | AndonicO Talk | Sign Here 15:17, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's debatable whether it should be an article at all. Can any Wikipedian truly write on this topic with NPOV? I doubt it. SteveBaker 14:50, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • After much consideration, I have decided to support this article. It is important that an article permanently linked from the homepage, and from every new editor's welcome message, should be of the highest standard: this is what we can acheive when we work together. Blood Red Sandman Open Up Your Heart - Receive My EviLove 15:39, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've tried to make a few improvements to it, but it still needs a lot of work – Qxz 07:33, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd like to see this one become a featured article as well. Even though it may be systematically bias, we can only try to make this neutral. Anyway, the about is meant for editors rather than the casual reader and shows a lot more bias than the mainspace article. Harryboyles 12:12, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • This article was voted as the main article an AID in April 2005. However, since then, the article has deteriorated. Weasel words plague the place, and there is a POV dispute. Also, Separation is a very important part of society today, and shoud be a good article. Diez2 23:34, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keeps an atheist like me safe from theocracy. This is VERY important to me and to the world. mirageinred 01:00, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Above comment shows one reason the article needs rework. It becomes a stomping ground for atheists. The article in general is incoherent, lacks relevant citations, and becomes wound up in the pov of the authors, whether atheist or religious. It needs to be much shorter. CBadSurf 05:37, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've done the best I can to prune the pointless material and source/de-weasel what I can. It's way too much for me, though, but at least now it's just incoherent and random, rather than huge, incoherent and random. I'm quite sure that an improved article would last a lot longer than the last one. After all, the angry atheists, "Christian America" advocates, and other people that wrecked the article before in order to push their agendas have Separation of church and state in the United States to throw their crayons at. ;) Collard 07:47, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I STRONGLY believe any rewrite needs to balance FAIRLY both sides to this issue. Contrary to modern secular progressive dogma, there is an overwhelming amount of evidence to suggest the founding fathers did not practice the kind of separation of church and state as the popular media and modern debate would have most believe. I have documented my claims with linkage to the LOC web site which can be found here.

Curators for the LOC web exhibit have published the following material based on factual historical accounts:


The factual truth behind the practices of the Founding Fathers should NOT be ignored in any presentation of this issue on Wikipedia. If these facts are buried or ignored by those who wish to give a modern day reinterpretation of the concept of Separation of Church, then any rewrite of this article will be based on a MODERN POV rather than a historically accurate recounting of the contemporary practices of the day during Jefferson and Madison’s administration.

Mactographer 07:17, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • The founding fathers also allowed sexism and racism. Anyway, this article needs improvement badly. Xiner (talk, email) 21:37, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • All of that is rather irrelevent though. Since there is a separate article about Separation of church and state in the United States, this article needs to say a lot less about the US situation - founding fathers, the US constitution, etc - and concentrate much more on antidisestablishmentarianism in other countries, and as a general discussion subject. The US situation should be about a paragraph and it should start with a {{main|Separation of church and state in the United States}}. That's a much harder task - the breadth of the subject is huge and would (by necessity) cover a huge range of religions and government systems. My concern is that judging from the commentary above, this effort would get derailed into making another article that would be almost entirely about the US situation - and that would be worse than doing nothing IMHO. SteveBaker 03:51, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Um... the ACID is for improving the article in general. Right now the article is in sorry shape because of POV, weasel words, and a US focus. Diez2 13:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Widely known topic around the world, and is sort of important in regards to the Internet culture. One of the first things you learn when you first go on the internet is the .com thing. Maybe we could improve the article enough to get rid of the nasty cleanup tag, and improve it to make it good, or possibly featured. --andrew|ellipsed...Speak 09:58, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well, we could source the unsourced statements, cleanup the article, and expand it a bit. It's really short (all the other domain articles could be improved and expanded too, this is just the most common domain, so it's the most "important"). -theblueflamingoSpeak 23:13, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • This was the only scandal to cause the resignation of a United States president, but few people under the age of fifty know much more about it than that. For two years requests have piled up at the talk page for the article to explain its subject with tolerable clarity. Today's reader still doesn't learn why five men burglarized the Democratic National Committee headquarters shortly before the end of primary season during an election year or that twenty-one federal officials received actual or suspended prison sentences as a result. Major players such as Richard Kleindienst - the only United States Attorney General ever to receive a criminal conviction for misconduct in office - aren't even mentioned. Although edit wars rage over at Kennedy assassination theories and 9/11 conspiracy theories, the most meticulously documented actual conspiracy in recent history languishes: this is probably a B class article but no Wikiproject has bothered to evaluate it. Let's fix this major gap in our encyclopedia. DurovaCharge! 03:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'd say B-class as well; I assess articles for a couple of projects. Blood Red Sandman Open Up Your Heart - Receive My EviLove 13:14, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with Durova. I still ask the "Why?". It has all the info of who was involved with much gusto and mentions the tampering of the tapes, but there is no explanation as to why it happened in the first place?
Unfortunately the article lacks a good grasp of the names. CREEP only turns up in the infobox, and that was the central funding body for the illegal schemes. The burglary was the culmination of a coordinated dirty tricks campaign through the entire primary season where they smeared every major Democratic presidential candidate except George McGovern because McGovern polled the weakest against Nixon. Gaps of that magnitude are all over the place at this article and most people who didn't live through the era or study it on a university level don't know enough background to spot the omissions. It even misses easy stuff, such as how New York Times columnist William Safire (a former Nixon administration speechwriter) is the main source of -gate as the common suffix for subsequent scandals. DurovaCharge 05:53, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In the aftermath of Gerald Ford's death, I think it would be entirely appropriate to turn this into a featured article.Daniel()Folsom T|C|U 02:01, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Lead is too short, a few tags to work on (wikify, merge, globalize), seemingly sufficient number of sources but at least one entire section and many "trivia facts" are unsourced, very unbalanced with some sections horribly long and some horribly short, and possibly too many external links. All this in an article about a basic, common subject. —EdGl 00:40, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fully agree. I know a good amount about horses, so I'll see what I can do. Amphytrite 00:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Woefully undercited" is an understatement, and I am one of the editors! I have been keeping an eye on this article for quite some time and adding bits here and there--more often moving bits OUT and creating new articles! The lack of citation is a major problem for FA status, I agree...we may want to first try for GA status...I know for myself, much of the material I added is knowledge that I have in my head, I've only been around horses for over 40 years, after all...I can dig up books and web sites where it can be located, but so can anyone else...anyway, I strongly encourage anyone with texts or good links (University Extension sites are particularly good, they have scientific authenticity that "Susy's pony page" does not...) There are also problems with organization, some things are redundant, and the constant threat of POV pushing of people's individual "thing" is always lurking...the article is also subject to constant vandalism every time it gets unprotected...I think we seem to have won at least semi-permanent semi-protection, at least. Anyway, the article needs help, and it particularly needs citations. I'm voting for it, but just to see if we can draw in more good, experienced editors to the project, not because I think we are anywhere close to "good." Montanabw 04:20, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Critical topic for an encyclopedia, yet it has no references and has stylistic issues. Has been rated "A-class" supposedly, but I don't see how it passes that. Failed a GA nom. Keitei (talk) 01:54, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • An embarrassment. --Dweller 13:01, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The tone veers into the unencyclopedic, the introduction is hopeless, the layout is confusing, weasel words everywhere, minimal references etc. Mark this one as urgent.--Nydas(Talk) 14:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I did the last big overhaul, so most of you insults are to me, (although if you think its bad now you should have seen it in summer). But I have no time to do anything. Dark Kubrick gave a lot of detailed suggestions for improvement when it failed GA in August and nobody has taken the time to implement them. If you think its unencyclopedic or embarrassing, please help to improve it, and defend any improvement from erosion for months to come. Oh and it does have references, its just that no one has updated them from the old style to the newer in-line footnotes. ... Bmorton3 20:35, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • This year (on 4 October, to be precise) will mark the 50th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite. The article is now somewhat incoherent and elaborates on further missions, the space race etc. It is also lacking in-line references. Let's get this article to FA-status! Errabee 00:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article doesn't even mention Sergey Korolyov. Sad. But there may be a problem in trying to get sound references for this page. — RJH (talk) 15:39, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes the article is too bad due to absence of in-line references. There is also a bunch of POV issues there, for example: "Both nations attempted to out-do each other in space exploration, eventually culminating in the launch of the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon". Who decided that this was the "culmination"? The "Space Race" section at all should be replaced by only one sentence, stating, that Sputnik started the space race. Cmapm 21:47, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd like to see more reference to the cultural significance and ramifications of the launching of Sputnik from a global perspective. Paul James Cowie 11:07, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • I believe, even though that while this article has gone up for ACID before, it's still pretty much a mess. Almost sourceless, no international view, "trivia" section, some sections very tiny and need expanding, etc. TheLH 13:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • A must-have article for any encyclopedia, this is a mess. The relevant Wikiproject has only just been created and as yet has very few members. This should be a well-written, lavishly illustrated FA. Instead, it's a Eurocentric playground for people to edit war over photos of their local castle. Ugh.

  • During the past century, aerial warfare has played an increasingly important role in the resolution of conflicts. So the topic deserves a high quality article. This page has undergone a decent amount of development, but it is still only a B-class article and lacks references. RJH (talk) 21:29, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • As one of the two foremost poets of the language spoken by more people than any other on earth, Li Bai deserves a collaboration in his own right. Yet this nomination is also a polite gesture to the government of his homeland: in keeping with Wikimedia Foundation's practice of emphasizing the advantages of open Wikipedia access, support of this nomination demonstrates that people in the rest of the world are interested in Chinese culture and would be delighted if the people of mainland China were free to help us improve our understanding.
