[edit] 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 as apalling and shocking sparingly, remember that every editor that has ever edited a nominated article did so to the best of his of her knowledge.
[edit] How the article is selected
Article with the most votes on each Wednesday is selected as "The current Article Improvement Drive article". If two articles have same number of votes, the older nominee wins.

The next project article is to be selected next Wednesday, 00:00:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC) |
[edit] How an article is removed from the list
Articles need four votes per week to stay on the list. If the current date (March 31, 2007) exceeds the expiry date of a particular article, that article entry is removed from this page and moved to the page for removed nominations.
