[edit] Unsuccessful collaborations?
Maybe I'm being dense, but why were BFRO and Valentich Disappearance both deemed to be unsuccessful nominations? They both had a 'for' vote. Shouldn't one, or both, of them been considered the next collaboration of the month? --Careax 05:57, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- If you notice in the procedures, there's a three-vote threshold for something to be made the Collab of the Month. The thinking behind this is that if not even three people vote for something (especially considering that users can vote for as many nominations as they'd like), then it is unlikely that the nom has the support of a large segment of the project, and thus unlikely to actually be 'collaborated' on. Believe me, I'm not pleased about this, but this seems to be the only thing to do under the circumstances. --InShaneee 06:03, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, ok. Fair enough. Shame we can't instill more enthusiasm or garner more attention on the Paranormal Collab of the Month concept. But one can only do so much. --Careax 06:15, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed. You have no idea how hard it was not to spend the last week spamming member to just go and vote. It started out so strong, too! --InShaneee 06:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Can things be re-nominated? If so, I'm putting BFRO back in the race. Ninetywazup?Review meMy ToDo 17:18, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- They can, but only if it their situation has changed (ie, the page has been significantly edited, a major dispute has been resolved, ect); otherwise, they're expected to fail for whatever reasons they initially failed. Anyway, that's rather academic at the moment, since what really matters is getting people involved/excited about the collab again, or else anything that gets nominated will fail. --InShaneee 02:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
