FA article
I am having a lot of trouble taking the initiative in writing my first high-quality article on my own. I know that many of the items that go to WP:FAC are one-person jobs, but in order to acquaint myself with the process of improving an article (preferably with FA status in mind) I would like to find one or more other editors to work with. How might I go about starting a group like this? I might go for one of the Collaborations in the end, but one week might not be long enough for what I have planned. Let's just say my preferred subject is zoology. (Or video games, but we already get enough geeky stuff on the front page).
 * Actually, we appreciate your effort even if you only make a stub. This doesn't mean you shouldn't aim high, pf course, but work for one very attainable goal at a time and you'll be more likely to succeed in the end. Get the page up and running first, then ask for help again. Link it to relevant pages and most likely other people will start finding it. Good luck. Xiner (talk, email) 23:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)


 * (edit conflict) I'd recommend finding a wikiproject that relates to the subject you'd like to write about (WikiProject Zoo doesn't seem terribly active, but it could work if you like) and ask on the discussion page if anyone would be interested in helping put together an article. Alternatively, you could look at articles that you like to see who has been contributing to them, and ask them personally. The thing to remember is to Be Bold and things will work out. It's true that some featured article candidates are largely written by one person, but even the best articles will be refined by many editors over time, so there's no need to get everything perfect the first time. Just do your best, and your contributions are sure to be appreciated.
