From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Template:Gold Coast Collaboration Notice
Every two weeks, an Gold Coast Collaboration of the Fortnight 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 Gold Coast, the aim being to have a featured-standard article by the end of the period, from widespread cooperative editing.
The project aims to fill gaps about Gold Coast in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. Anyone who is a registered user, not just Gold Coasts, can nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles.
Every second Sunday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for two weeks 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.

[edit] Selecting the next Collaboration of the Fortnight
The next winner will be selected on Sunday, 5 October, 2006, 16:00 (AEDST)
[edit] Voting
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 an Gold Coast.
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.
[edit] Tie-breakers
In case of a tie, a special voting round will be launched for the next 24 hours. Users may only vote on one of the tied articles. If there is still a tie, the candidate that was nominated first wins.
[edit] Nominations
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 Template:TemplateGCCOTF to the top of its talk page.
[edit] Considerations for nominations
- Please only nominate Gold Coast articles which don't currently exist or need serious work. – also see Gold Coast stubs). If you have an article that is not related to Gold Coast please use Collaboration of the Week, which is not specific to Gold Coast articles.
- Giving reasons as to why an article should become the ACOTW may assist others in casting their vote.
- Can the wider community easily contribute to the article? Or is it something only a small number of people will know about?
[edit] Selection
If the article is selected as the GCCOTF, enter the article's complete title at Template:Collab-Gold Coast. The template {{Current Gold Coast COTF}} should then be placed at the top of the selected article's page. This expands to:
When the article is no longer GCCOTF, please add the following template to the talk page: {{past GCCOTF|date|year}}
[edit] Pruning
Nominations will be moved to /Removed if they do not attract attention. An item will be allowed to remain up for voting two weeks per two votes it receives.
NOTE: If the turnover of collaborations slows down as it did in September/October 2006, the expiry dates should be taken with a pinch of salt for a while and allowed to relax to ensure popular choices are not pruned merely due to nobody actually selecting a new collaboration topic.
Items may also be removed if they are inappropriate for nomination (see Considerations... above)
Please see the talk page to discuss to changes in pruning policy.
