The Article Referencing Drive is a collaboration, usually lasting a week, in an effort to improve the quality of articles by introducing or adding more references to them. This is part of an on-going effort to improve the quality of Wikipedia, and address the major issue of the need of citations in articles.

To vote, simply add # ~~~~ under the "Support" section in each nomination. In order for a request to be a contender to be the next referencing drive, it must receive support from at least three people in a week.

Collaborations typically last a week, unless they really need more time, or the entire article gets completely referenced before the end of the week.

This is a new collaboration effort — feel free to improve it!

A former FA with only three anthology-type books listed as references, and no inline citations. For a topic as broad and important to an English-language encyclopedia, that isn't sufficient referencing. -Fsotrain⁰⁹ 17:43, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
