==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, {{IDRIVEtopic article}}. Any and all articles may be nominated except:

*Articles that are currently at [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured status]]
*Articles in [[Wikipedia:Edit war|edit war]]s

After submitting the new nomination, go to the nominated article's talk page and put this at the top:
 {{tl|ACIDnom}}
|}

===How to vote===
Sign with "<nowiki># ~~~~</nowiki>" 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:

<nowiki>{{Template:ACIDcur}}</nowiki>

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 [[Wikipedia:Article Creation and Improvement Drive/Removed|page for removed nominations]].
