What is the appropriate use of the {{ USCOTW}} template? I just come noticed it being added to quite a lot of articles that are not candidates. It seems like clutter on a talk page that has never been a candidate or the subject of a prior collaboration. older ≠ wiser 22:04, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
There were several articles that were nominated and recieved the needed votes in the time specified. They just sat there with no one updating the USCOTW and then they were all deleted. What gives? How does this work and who is making the changes after the votes? How did Mount Rushmore get up there with 2 votes (1 vote at the time the others were deleted) when North Carolina and Ohio River flood of 1937 had 5, Independence Hall and Liberty Bell had 3. Morphh 19:31, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
In responce to your question, The other nominated articles have expired their time up on the page and have been taken down. As the Mount Rushmore article is the only one still left up there, it is the only choice left. The previous USCOTW has held that position for at least 4 weeks, far too long for a USCOTW. Putting some life back into the page. If you want, you can vote for any new nominations that may come up. ( Iuio 05:55, 24 September 2006 (UTC))
Mwahahaha - four years later and a couple of interlopers have seized control....but seriously, reactivated now and we'll see how it goes. Anyone is welcome to ignore my noms and think of some of their own. Casliber ( talk · contribs) 08:17, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
Should we add to the critera for the nomination and selection of articles that they be nation-wide in scope and not rated as "Top" or "High" importance by another WikiProject? Racepacket ( talk) 13:50, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
First I'm sorry I haven't had time to do much. Hopefully that will change soon. I hope its ok but I wanted to submit a couple suggestions regarding the Collaboration.
There's a problem if you nominate something on the 29th, 30th, or 31st of the month if the following month doesn't have 31 days. You apparantly have to code manually Purple backpack89 19:59, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
It appears the two topics currently listed in this section are outdated. Should they be deleted leaving an empty section? Tom (North Shoreman) ( talk) 13:45, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
I added a couple of reviews to some of the articles on the list. I will go back later and add some more as time allows and I will start working on the items identified as well. I think it might help to focus efforts for some editors if they now what to look for and what some of the areas of improvement are. I also think that if an article comes up and pertains to another project (like California) we should let that project know so that they can participate if they want too in the developement of the article. I believe this will also help to foster collaboration between projects and remove some of the tensions that have come about in the past few weeks. -- Kumioko ( talk) 14:55, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm very happy to see the USCOTM revived and active again. I don't have huge amounts of time, but can focus on a handful of articles at a time and would be happy for the USCOTM to be one of them. Cheers. -- Aude ( talk) 16:53, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
Okay, I've clocked it over into March and done some chores. If anyone is keen, they can fill out some blank spaces on Wikipedia:U.S. Wikipedians' notice board/USCOTW/History, like how many edits were done on the last collaboration over February, the diff and word count and maybe a few comments about it. I didn't know much about it so stayed out of it. I'll post on the article talk page too. Casliber ( talk · contribs) 04:08, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
I know it's ideal that we get 3 votes per month for a topic, but as we are restarting USCOTM, it may take more time to get that level of interest. I suggest we either drop that requirement or at least be a bit flexible for now. It would be good for USCOTM to continue in April. -- Aude ( talk) 02:23, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

The monthly collaboration is now in its third month since reactivation. The first article Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was improved significantly in February, as was George Washington (the second one) in March. Although the latter article was not nominated for GA, enough work was done for contributors to identify remaining content areas needing improving before an attempt is made, which is great progress. Thus anyone keen on reading up on Washington's role in the American Revolution and the presidency is most welcome to review and contribute. Magicpiano ( talk · contribs) is planning on buffing material for the American Revolution segment by focussing on the daughter article, George Washington in the American Revolution first. Anyway, Chesapeake Bay is the new collaboration picked for April and anyone is welcome to work on it. For choosing new candidate articles for May and beyond, editors should think about articles which have a range of issues that a variety of editors can help with, from content (primary school to university level research) to copyediting. Having a look over current and past ideas (which can be seen here and here (even older ones). So folks have a think about which articles are in most in need of fixing, or alternately, have a clear pathway to GA or FA status. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Now, I've found collaborations often benefit from a real 'driver' who can really coordinate a push to GA or FA. I figured TonytheTiger's interest in all things Chicago might be a help here, so let's see how this goes. Casliber ( talk · contribs) 21:22, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
Chicago got 154 edits for 15 KB. Not bad for a major metropolis! Good work! I noticed the template hadn't been edited for two months, and the runner-up was the Hope diamond, which is cursed. So I put 99 Percent Declaration up because it's nominated for rescue. Dualus ( talk) 20:04, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
