Forum:New Improvement Drive Proposal

Now, when it was suggested that we remove the improvement drive, I was against it because I wanted to find another way to keep it going. I was thinking of ways to do this while working on the Random Page clean up, and then it dawned on me: why not let the High Priests select an Improvement Drive article of the week? Even with the new High Priest duties, I have this aching feeling that people will still piss and moan about them, so this gives them something to do. Basically, the way it works is as follows:


 * 1) The High Priests will search the Random page feature for articles that would be good candidates for an ID article
 * 2) The High Priests will nominate articles that they find
 * 3) Article authors can reject the nomination of their articles
 * 4) The High Priests will vote on the nominees and create a running que of future ID articles
 * 5) The users of SWF will come together to clean up the article and, if appropriate, add realistic content to it
 * 6) New content can only be added if a) the author approves if s/he is still a member here or b) if the article has not been touched by its author who has not been here for months

I think this is a great idea and it will help us aleviate some criticisms saying that there is no community effort on this wiki. Rather than going for consensus (which is totally annoying sometimes), I'm going to put this up to a straight up vote which will end one week from today (December 2, 2007) unless there are enough support/oppose votes before that. Anyway, please discuss. - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  09:05, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
