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, Irena Karpa (random unreferenced BLP of the day for 15 Dec 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=December 15, 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* :-)

  • 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]
  • True, no mention is made of this as the start of the space race, and thoughts of who was ahead in technology of the cold war. The USSR was seen as at it's peak and ahead in technology-a turning point for the coming decades all point back at this start. The detail of Sputnik was not known at the time and that was very important from then until the fall of the Soviet Union. sorry forgot to sign list...kidsheaven 00:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is a basic and central concept in physics, and requires improvement. The article needs cleanup, and I think it deserves some more attention from non-physicists. This is a topic that I imagine many physics students will look at, and I feel that the central concepts ought to be both better presented and more accessible/readable. -- Iotha 02:29, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Parts of this article are borderline BS, especially the beginning of the explanation section. ("Einstein explained in 1905 that a magnetic field is the relativistic part of an electric field.") It needs a pretty thorough going over, not just for clarity but for correctness. (Much of the article is fine, but the parts that aren't stick out like a sore thumb to me.) --Starwed 11:55, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Supporting per above. Also, could use references! →EdGl 23:49, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • It seems to me that while information is in flux it is a particularly bad time to make it a collaboration. But, then again, I don't think this is a particularly worthy subject in the first place. Maybe this should be postponed until all of the legal cases are over? gren グレン 11:10, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • (Occam's razor is often cited on Wikipedia as an argument against paranormal topics, but the article itself has problems. There is widespread confusion about what it actually means and this article doesn't help much. The problem is that many real authors are confused about the implications) Puddytang 21:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • This is actually a fairly interesting topic for an article, but it's in such terrible shape that there's no way anyone can learn anything. Needs Wikified, probably completely rewritten (seems copied off some page), and...well, a whole lot. GSGold 02:00, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • This article's already been nominated for the Creation and Improvement Drive once before, but it didn't gain enough votes to be the weekly article. Comic books are important, and it's in incredibly bad shape. Switchercat talkcont 02:31, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
