Wikipedia:WikiProject Chemistry/Article Improvement Drive

This WikiProject is defunct.
Consider looking for related projects for help or ask at the Teahouse.

If you feel this project may be worth reviving, please discuss with related projects first. Feel free to change this tag if the parameters were changed in error.

Every month a new Chemistry Article Improvement Drive (ChemAID) may be picked using this page. The goal of each collaboration is to take an undeveloped or underdeveloped chemistry-related topic and improve it over the course of the month, ideally to the level of a featured article but not necessarily put through that process. At the end of each month, the topic with the most support votes will be selected for the next collaboration. If no new topics are chosen, then the previous ChemAID is carried over. This project was active from June 2006 to July 2009. During that time, nineteen articles were worked upon. One article, Lead(II) nitrate, is now Featured. Another, Sodium hydroxide achieved Good Article status but has since been delisted.

Any registered wikipedian can nominate an article, and can vote for the nominated articles. Voting also indicates interest in contributing to the monthly collaboration. At beginning of each month, the votes will be tallied, and the winner will be promoted for the month to potential contributors. If possible, select articles that interest a wider community of editors, rather than those that attract only a small number of people.
