Every two weeks a South African Collaboration of the Week will be picked using this page. This is a specific topic which either has no article or a basic stub page that is directly related to South Africa, the aim being to have a featured- standard article by the end of the week, from widespread cooperative editing.
The project aims to fill gaps about South Africa in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. Anyone can nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles.
Every Sunday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.
Previous winners that have gone on to become featured articles can be found at
/Features.
All previous winners can be found at
/History.
Removed nominations can be found at
/Removed.
The next winner will be selected on Sunday, 5 December, 18:00 (UTC -0500).
Please vote for as many of the following candidates as you like. Please add only support votes. Opposing votes will not affect the result, as the winner is simply the one with the most support votes (see Approval voting).
Only registered users should vote. Any Wikipedian can vote on this page. You do not have to be South African.
To enter your votes, simply edit the appropriate sections by just inserting a new line with "# ~~~~". This will add your username and a time stamp in a new numbered list item.
In case of a tie, voting will be extended for 24 hours. If there is still a tie, the candidate that was nominated first wins.
New nominations can be made at any time and should be added at the end of this page. Please use the template.
If the page you are nominating already exists, please add {{South African COTW candidate|Thispage=Article name}} to the top of its talk page. This expands to:
{{
South African COTW candidate}}
If the article is selected as the ACOTW, the template {{Current South African COTW}} should go at the top of the article page. This expands to:
{{
Current South African COTW}}
Nominations will be moved to /Removed if it has not received any votes in the first week (7 days) of being nominated (excluding the person who nominated it). If a nomination has been untouched (unvoted & uncommented) for over two weeks (14 days), it shall be likewise pruned. Feel free to perform pruning that meets the above criteria. Please see the talk page for discussion of this change in pruning policy.
I see two easy classes of article - (historic) South Africa that needs filling in, and the (very exciting) unfolding event. Perhaps two ? Wizzy 18:34, Nov 25, 2004 (UTC)
There is so much more that could be said about the extensive National Route system but there is almost no information here.

Comments The Shaik Trial has been ongoing for some time now but still no article. How the outcome of this trial might effect our Deputy President Jacob Zuma is in question?
I have made a start - difficult to be NPOV though. Any early history ? Wizzy 09:33, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
