Wikipedia:WikiProject Nintendo/Collaboration of the fortnight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Each fortnight (two weeks), Wikipedians from WikiProject Nintendo nominate an article to become the collaboration of the fortnight. The aim is to produce featured-standard articles, through widespread cooperative editing. This project aims to fill holes in Wikipedia, so only non-existent articles, or stubs may be nominated. If the article does not fit these guidelines, it should be placed on the Article Improvement Drive for further expansion and improvement.

Contents

[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.
  • Articles that fail to receive 3 votes per week from the time of nomination will be removed from this page.

[edit] Nominating articles

To nominate an article:

  • At the bottom of the list of nominees on this page enter the text {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Nintendo/Collaboration of the fortnight/article name}}, replacing the text "article name" appropriately. Do not use the "edit" link of the last heading.
  • Follow the new red link, and enter the text {{subst:newcotw|article name|~~~~~|date in seven days|your reason for nominating|~~~~}}. changing the text accordingly (for example, add: {{subst:newcotw|Dog hair|~~~~~|[[12 July]]|This is really important for all dog-lovers.|~~~~}}).
  • If the article you are nominating already exists, please add {{COTW}} to the top of its talk page.

[edit] Considerations

  • Please only nominate stubs (articles of two short paragraphs or less).
  • 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.
