The approach of the sesquicentennial in 2011 of the start of the Civil War has inspired a drive to improve related Uncyclopedia articles to featured status, and to see as many of these as possible appear on the main page on their respective 150th anniversaries. Such date-specific articles will include the American Civil War page itself, as well as those of major battles. Other articles within the scope of this drive will include key political and military leaders, and certain general aspects of the conflict. The list of articles currently targeted for improvement appears below, and will be added to subject to discussion on drive's talk page. If you are interested in participating in this drive, please add your name and specialties to the Contributors table, and any resources you can access to the Sources list.
Targeting articles for featured article status[edit source]
- Articles on battles should be targeted on the date(s) which is the battle's 150th Anniversary. Battles lasting more than one day are to be targeted for any of the dates which compose its 150th Anniversary with the primary emphasis being on gaining Featured Article status on the first day of that battle.
- The authors of biographical articles should select three dates which are the 150th Anniversary of dates during the American Civil War on which the article's subject performed actions of particular note. These three dates will constitute the targeted dates for Featured-article status.
