The Article Collaboration and Improvement Drive is a fortnightly collaboration to improve articles to featured article status.

/History - For past collaborations.
/Removed - For removed nominations.
/Maintenance - ACID upkeep.

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, Ad van Kempen (random unreferenced BLP of the day for 7 Jun 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=June 7, 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* :-)

  • Seminal gaming company that has a large influence on past/present/future culture. Created icons like Zelda/Mario/Donkey Kong, as well ass the Game Boy, NES, DS, Wii. The article is in dire need of proper references, and would make a good collaboration. Currently rated as B-class. JACOPLANE • 2007-03-20 23:38
  • By last check, Nintendo is worth more than $10 billion and has two of the most successful systems in the industry today, one of them being far more successful than any competitors or even non-competitors. - A Link to the Past (talk) 23:50, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • My mistake; they possess >$10 billion. Back when they were in second place to Sony, Microsoft wanted to buy them for $25 billion. And with the DS being more successful than the PS2 in Japan and Europe, and being pretty close in North America, I believe that they would be worth much, much more. - A Link to the Past (talk) 17:09, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is one of those articles that you just expect to be GA or higher. Greeves (talk • contribs) 22:42, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Everyone knows Nintendo. But the article is not great yet. That should not be happening.Pendo4 is here...Look around...hello???...I am here... 02:02, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've always thought the Nintendo article should be a candidate for improvement; I've significantly updated the List of Nintendo developers and the Divisions of Nintendo as they are under the Nintendo corporation banner. Digiwrld1 23:33, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Obviously an important topic which should be featured eventually. Looks like it had a FA nomination in 2004 which did not go anywhere and did not I think begin to address some of the shortcomings. That said the article is not in a realy horrible state and I think it could be brought to FA standard with the resources we have here. Dalf | Talk 02:55, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Voting for the future of Internet! ffm ✎talk 15:46, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • One of the most important subjects, with one of the best portals, but the article is not great, without many citations. Themcman1 15:40, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Articles on general topics, like this one, often get overlooked. However, I think that people are more likely to look up science than many specific scientific artices that are featured. — Pious7TalkContribs 03:02, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Uranus is the one planet in the Solar System without good or featured status. It is on a well-known topic and thus many random people probably look it up. According to its talk page, Uranus will be included on the Wikipedia CD, but is it really encyclopedia-quality? In addition, it weakens the whole featured topic on the solar system as it is its the only article there not well-written. This poorly-rated important topic deserves major improvement. — Pious7TalkContribs 05:21, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Earth isn't featured, and it was a planet, IIRC. ffm ✎talk 15:58, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Last time I checked, Earth was still considered a planet. Though if they can declass Pluto, anything's possible. Kaiser matias 06:01, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Earth is still a good article, and is a FAC. Uranus is not even GA-material. Every other planet and dwarf planet, the Sun, and Solar System are either good or featured. That's what I meant. — Pious7TalkContribs 09:25, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ditto; Uranus is unfairly tossed aside because of its name. BlueLotas 00:52, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is much more that can be said about the language, and a plethora of useful suggestions have come in after a peer review for how we can improve the article.
