Wikipedia:WikiProject Georgia Tech/Collaboration Nomination

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page shamelessly stolen from Wikipedia:WikiProject Nintendo/Collaboration of the fortnight.

Roughly each fortnight (two weeks), Wikipedians from WikiProject Georgia Tech nominate an article to become the collaboration of the fortnight. The aim is to produce B-class or better articles, through widespread cooperative editing. Any article in WikiProject Georgia Tech articles may be nominated, but stubs and requested articles are preferred.

As we are a small project, don't expect all collaborations to last exactly one or two weeks. Some articles just need a few days of concentrated attention to excel; during the middle of a semester, it may take a month to make that same improvement.

[edit] Selection process

The collaborations are selected by approval voting. This is done by clicking the edit button to the right of the article's nomination, and adding the text # ~~~~.

Only registered users may vote, and their first edit must have been before the article was nominated.
Only support votes and comments should be added, as the articles are chosen by approval voting.
Do not vote for all of the nominations. If you do, your votes will be discounted, as people can't expect you to work on all of them.
The article with the most votes at selection time will become the next COTW.
Once the current COTW has expired, El Dictator will pick the next one based on the current nominations.
Old nominations stay until they are chosen or until this page gets unwieldy.

[edit] Nominating articles

To nominate an article:

At the top of the list of nominees on this page, enter the text {{subst:newcotw|article name|~~~~~|date in seven days|your reason for nominating|~~~~}}. changing the text accordingly (for example, add: {{subst:newcotw|George P. Burdell|~~~~~|[[12 July]]|Burdell's article could use some help, since he is a well-known tradition.|~~~~}}).

[edit] Considerations

Giving good reasons will help others in supporting your nomination.
Articles should interest a wide number of people, so many can contribute to the article's improvement.
If you're thinking of renominating an article which has recently failed, consider waiting a month before renominating it.
