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, Sergey Chigrakov (random unreferenced BLP of the day for 13 Nov 2024 - provided by User:AnomieBOT/RandomPage via WP:RANDUNREF). Any and all articles may be nominated except:

• Articles that are currently at featured status
• Articles in edit wars

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=November 13, 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.
