Portal:Egyptology/ECOTM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Egyptology Collaboration of the Month will be chosen roughly every calendar month. This is a specific topic which either has no article or a basic stub page that is directly related to Egyptology or Ancient Egypt, the aim being to have a featured – standard article by the end of the month, from widespread cooperative editing.

The project aims to fill gaps about the Egyptology in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of.

[edit] Selection

[edit] Voting

If you support an article please vote, by clicking on edit by the article's title, and add a new line with the text # ~~~~. This will add your username and the time you signed automatically. Please add comments if you wish.

• Please only add support votes – opposing votes will not affect the result as the choice is done by approval voting (the most votes, wins).
• Please vote for as many candidates as you like.
• Only registered users may vote.
• Being a resident or from the Ancient Egypt is not a requirement to vote!

[edit] Tie-breakers

To keep things simple, should two or more articles have both had the same number of votes by the selection time, the article nominated first is chosen as COTM.

[edit] Making Nominations

• At the top of the list of nominees on this page, enter the text {{Wikiportal:Egyptology/ECOTM/name of nominated article}}.
• Click on the appropriate link in the new message box.
• Enter the text === [[name of nominated article]] ===.
• Enter your reason for the nomination, and sign it using ~~~~.

If the page you wish to nominate already exists, in addition to the above steps please add the text {{ECOTM}} at the top of the article's talk page.

[edit] Considerations

• Please only nominate Egyptology and Ancient Egypt-related articles which do not exist or are stubs (or are not stubs; but very short articles).
• Giving reasons to why an article should be chosen will aid others in supporting.

[edit] Archiving

If a nomination does not receive enough votes (three votes for every month it is nominated) it will be archived. Older archives can be viewed at removed. Articles which become nominated to COTW are viewable at past collaborations.

[edit] Candidates

[edit] Valley of the Kings

The four articles for the Valley of the Kings have been merged. The details and references need to be checked and expanded. Markh 12:58, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
