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, Søren Jessen-Petersen (random unreferenced BLP of the day for 26 May 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=May 26, 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
  • A very sad state of affairs on an important topic. The decision to convert it from a dab page into a full blown article on Heart Disease was made over a year ago. The article has changed little since then. KelleyCook 17:59, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Definitely needs help and improvement. Like other medical or diseases article it does not contain functions, classification or images showing what happens. A Raider Like Indiana 15:45, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • An extremely important article which certainly deserves some work. It currently rated as B class, meaning that it isn´t in very bad shape, but, due to the importance of the article, it really should be an FA. ♠TomasBat 16:07, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • One of the most important languages of all times. But the article failed to meet even GA criteria. Considering the vastness of the subject and the bad condition of the article, it certainly requires group effort. BorgQueen 18:24, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Definitely should be an FA. After all, it is the language that has the highest amount of Wikipedia articles. Universe=atomTalk•Contributions 12:34, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • These are some further things that need fixing:
  • Years on there own shouldn't be linked. Full dates and dates with a day and month should be linked, including in the footnotes.
  • Common words shouldn't be linked eg. bird and rainfall
  • Try to use templates for citations.
  • Non-breaking spaces are needed between numbers and units.
  • According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style, it is not recommended to specify the size of images, as the size should be what readers have specified in their user preferences. The images in the demographics section may be an exception. Felipe C.S ( talk ) 19:29, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • One of the most important and most widely worshipped gods in the world today. His article as it currently exists is only a B class article. Article could use a lot of work, particularly regarding quotations, phrasing, and maybe NPOV. John Carter 19:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is an article on one of the most important documents for any person. In its current state, it has disorganized sections, few references, lots of PoV and un-encyclopedic ways of writing, and basically the works for a Start-class article. With a little bit of concerted effort, I am sure in that its quality can easily be raised. Universe=atomTalk•Contributions 09:19, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Totally agree with the above. Giggy UCP 06:33, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • I really haven't had much to do with this article (I might have reverted vandalism on it once or twice ;)), but I feel that such an import subject matter as the atom deserves improvement from the shape this article is in at the moment. I hope others share my view. Cheers -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 09:57, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
