Introduction
To vote or nominate you have to be a member of WikiProject Florida. Any and all articles relating to Florida may be nominated. This is an unofficial drive. Try to avoid the following, however:


 * Articles that are currently at featured status
 * Articles in edit wars
 * Stub articles; use the Collaboration of the week for those

 If you wish to help with maintenance of Unofficial Florida Article Improvement Drive (updating vote counts and such), please see this page: /Maintenance.

How to nominate
Here is template for nominations:

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. If the vote count equaled the "needs at least xx votes by", then add 3 to "needs at least xx votes" and add a week to date in vote count and "needs at least xx votes by" notice.

Example. You encounter this situation and decide to vote:

===History of Florida (7 votes, stays until February 13, 2006)===



First you put " # ~ " on the end of the list of people who voted for that article and then change the votecount and date in following manner:

===[History of Florida]] ( 8 votes, stays until February 20, 2006)===

 * Comments:
 * Very short, not entirely NPOV, and now considerably out of date, with absoultely no information about the lake proper. Let's "make it an example" for a Florida Lakes page. :-) - Aerobird 16:24, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Julia Tuttle's article needs some more information (most certainly her birth date) and, more importantly, references. The person most responsible for the genesis of Florida's largest metropolitan region certainly needs good representation here. --Kitch (Talk 15:13, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
