Would anyone support the renaming of this collaboration to be "Article Improvement Drive"? In at least the past 2 years, we never have used this collaboration to actually create an article. Sooooo, why is it named so? Any comments or "votes" are welcome. Diez2 16:03, 23 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • Yes, finally! I'd been thinking of suggesting this for ages. The current name is inaccurate, and leads to the current ridiculous acronym instead of the perfectly suited AID. It's almost like the perfect name was leaping off the page but someone chose not to use it anyway. I'd vote for changing the name to "Article Improvement Drive" which would be more accurate, and the acronym "AID". --Daniel11 04:29, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • Agree to Pious7's solution. You're right, the current acronym should stay. Diez2 17:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
