Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mixed martial arts/Article improvement drive

First collaboration

Ok, so the first article for us to work on is the flagship, mixed martial arts. Anybody want to sum up what this article needs? I see that the rules section needs to be split out. What else? I have basically no experience with moving articles past B-level. SubSeven 22:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, first of all, we need to stick this on the talk page of the relevant article, namely talk:Mixed martial arts, which I have done. The to-do list is already there and I've thrown my name on it under a title of "contributors to MMA COTW". Reading WP:GA?, it boils down to a) quality of writing, b) citing sources and staying clear of original research, c) not getting bogged down in trivia, d) staying neutral, e) the article is edit war free, f) a number of relevant images and g) it is under 25 kb in length. If I'm firing the first bullet, under criteria c, we can trim down the Rules variations section considerably. -- Crazyknight 23:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Any more?

It looks like this drive has stalled. I'd just like to say that if we do get it going again at some point, I suggest something longer than a one-week cycle. I don't think we have the manpower to revamp an article in one week. SubSeven 07:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I started the drive and then absolutely nobody responded when it came time to do the work. Some people seem to have done work on it whilst I was on wiki-holiday. Yes, I can scale this back and change it. i.e. close nominations until the first collaboration is done and then change the relevant templates. Also, I should put a quick how-to together to show how to do things on it. - Crazyknight 16:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
