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, Michael Weishan (random unreferenced BLP of the day for 1 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 1, 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* :-)

  • Jupiter is by far the largest of the planets in the solar system and has a massive influence on all the objects around it. Also, Jupiter is a Vital Article and has so far not reached good article status.

Atomic1609 16:49, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Jupiter is one of the largest planets in the Solar System and not reached good article status. Daniel5127 (Talk) 03:33, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think "one of the planets in the Solar System" is good enough in this case. Does it really matter that it's the biggest? (=.=) But for all that, the article looks to be in good condition.Dekimasu 02:41, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • It is a failed GA and likely a core topic, so I think it's definitely improvement-worthy. — RJH (talk) 16:48, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Only a B? And Inclusion on a CD (or DVD, not sure)? Definitely.
  • Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. One of the most interesting events on Jupiter was when several comets collided with the planet about a decade ago. It is often called a small brown dwarf even though it is smaller. M&NCenarius 18:37, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • The location this article is about will be getting a great deal of attention as the forthcoming 400th anniversary celebration Jamestown 2007 is getting world-wide attention. The article, of special interest to U.S. and U.K. writers, has had a lot added in the past year or so, but is in serious need of attention. The lead is way too long, and there is a lack of consistency and references. This is an excellent candidate for a WP showcase piece, IMHO. Please help, fellow Wikipedians! Thanks. Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia Vaoverland 17:02, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would like to see this article improved so that it meets the criteria to be a featured article. It would be nice to have it featured in time for the 400 year aniversary of Jamestown next year. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 21:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I second this reasoning. The big 400 is up and I think the article will be in demand. Lets make it a prime example of what this project can do.~ (The Rebel At) ~ 04:01, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • It could hardly be less "provincial" as it was a key settlement in the histories of the United States and of the British Empire. What has happened to it since in no way undermines its importance. Cloachland 01:30, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • An excellent example of U.S. bias: an archaeological site that hasn't been politically significant since the seventeenth century and was only modestly important in its brief heyday as a malarial provincial backwater whose economy depended on tobacco and slavery.

        • I think it is important too and I'm not American either. Piccadilly 20:22, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I, and I'm sure many others have studied this town during my schooling. If it's got that much recognition, it should definitely be improved.thisoldmage5:04, 9 December 2006 (PST)

    • 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.

  • 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]

  • The article is about a book series that has 13 main books (the first three have been made into a movie) and a few spinoff books. This book series deserves a much better page with much less speculation and orginal research. Clamster5 17:28, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • A series containing some of the best literature of the 20th and 21st century is often understated. This series demands a far more accurate collection of articles which is rid of all the errors and all the instances of original research which already plagues it. Please, we need this to be imporved.[User:Olympic god|Danny]] 14:26, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
  • This series of novels already has a huge presence on Wikipedia. There are individual pages of characters and concepts all over this website. Nearly all of them, even the page for the series itself, however, are poorly organized and need to be rewritten. I believe it's a popular enough children's series that it warrants some attention. It deserves to be presented in a more professional manner. Pele Merengue 01:21, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I couldn't agree more. Theres so much speculation and original research. The series deserves much better pages than this. Clamster5 23:00, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree. The number of errors and pointless mistakes throughout all the articles are pathetic. Wikipedia really must do something. It's the website's obligation to correct this very needy area of the encyclopedia.Danny 20:30, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikipedia really needs to improve the articles about this popular children's book series by removing all the random, disorganized speculation lists, and creating uniformity and better organization between the pages, not to mention on them. - Hooky6 00:24, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article tried and failed to reach FA status once. Obviously of encyclopedic value with a large number of topics related to it, but the article is missing tons of refernces , has too many fair use images, and is poorly organized. Needs tons of help. ElaragirlTalk|Count 16:44, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • All that she said (especially about poor organization), and also this is a high-profile article that I imagine gets a relatively high number of pageviews. It has already been cited in the media several times. --Beefnut 00:08, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • This article is in horrible condition! It was even put up for deletion as a dicdef! For such a common object, this should definitely be a good or even featured article. —EdGl 15:55, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's certainly in a terrible state - but it's a really tough article to write. The term is insanely general. Almost anything you could say about a box, you can come up with a counter-example (eg: "Boxes are cuboids"...argh - except for heart-shaped chocolate boxes...and cylindrical hat boxes...and...OK: "Boxes can be any shape". "Boxes are made from cardboard"...er...or wood, steel, aluminum, paper, plastic...OK "Boxes can be made of anything", how about "Boxes are for storing things in"...except musical boxes, which aren't. "Boxes were invented by..."...urgh...nevermind.) Is there anything you can say about boxes without so many caveats and exceptions as to make the article meaningless? I can't see how to improve it. I'm thinking this should be a disambiguation page that points to all of the various kinds of boxes and that there should not be an article about boxes in general at all. Either way - I'm not voting for it! SteveBaker 15:16, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • That already exists, at Box (disambiguation). I put this article up for deletion - maybe I should have just made it a redirect? Does anyone have any idea how it could actually be improved? Vizjim 15:05, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hopefully all of the people who voted to keep it in the AfD will be flocking in with their good ideas and offers of help...hopefully. SteveBaker 12:55, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • The World Bank Group is a major international organization, gathering much criticism amidst vast promises. Such an important topic should not be presented so poorly, as it is now. The criticisms section vastly outweighs content regarding the performance record of the group, sources are almost never cited, and some of the content (particularly on the structure of the bank) is presented inaccurately. This article is in desperate need of attention. Brettbergeron 22:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • A pathetically short article in which the major proportion currently is taken up by a list of potential crossings. Needs a lot more meat on its bones for such a long-running idea and such a controversial project. Aerobird 21:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Article about a children's animated television show. Needs work digging up info on development and reception, as well as filtering out the fancruft. Jay32183 23:50, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Badly organized and definitely needs a cleanup. In my opinion it does not follow along smoothly in a same tense, but switches between different topics out of order. And we have to remember that volcanoes are on other planets as well as ours. Yuser31415 23:59, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • (The article should be about the city of Mecca, meaning how it functions, culture, tourism, economy, etc. Currently it only states its importance related to the hajj.) Sefringle 03:24, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
