Article Creation and Improvement Drive has superseded Collaboration of the Week as of August 14, 2006.
Each week, Wikipedians nominate an article to become the collaboration of the week. The aim is to produce featured-standard articles, through widespread cooperative editing. This project aims to fill holes in Wikipedia, so only non-existent articles, or stubs may be nominated. If the article does not fit these guidelines, it should be placed on the Article Improvement Drive for further expansion and improvement.
Though this project is inactive, you can help with : Marco Colandrea (random unreferenced BLP of the day for 27 Apr 2024 - provided by User:AnomieBOT/RandomPage via WP:RANDUNREF). |

Here is template for nominations:
===[[ARTICLE]] (1 vote, stays until [[DATE ONE WEEK LATER]])=== :''Nominated [[MONTH DAY]], [[YEAR]]; needs at least 3 votes by [[DATE ONE WEEK LATER]], [[YEAR]]'' ; Support: # (sign with four tildes) ; Comments: * (put your reason for nomination, sign again) ----
Considerations
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, after you vote, the vote count equals 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 X]] (23 votes, stays until [[February 7]], [[2006]])===
:''Nominated [[December 8]], [[2005]]; needs at least 24 votes by [[February 7]], [[2006]]''
First you put "# ~~~~" on the end of the list of people who voted for that article and then change the vote count and date in following manner:
===[[History of X]] (24 votes, stays until [[February 14]], [[2006]])===
:''Nominated [[December 8]], [[2005]]; needs at least 28 votes by [[February 14]], [[2006]]''
Constant contributors to COTW can place {{ User COTW}} onto their user pages. It looks like this:
This user participated in Collaboration of the week. |
The article with the most votes on each Sunday in 00:00 UTC is elected as "The current Article Improvement Drive article". If two or more articles have same number of votes, the oldest nominee wins.
Articles need three votes per week to stay on the list. If current date (April 28, 2024) exceeds "stays until" date of particular article, unless that article has the most votes of all current nominations, that article entry is removed from this page and moved to failed nominations.
