Wikipedia:Join in Now!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

✘ This Wikipedia page is currently inactive and is retained as a historical archive.
Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus has become unclear. If you want to revive discussion regarding the subject, you should seek broader input via a forum such as the proposals page of the village pump.

This is a new alternative to the traditions of WP:AID and WP:COTW. It is meant to be more relaxed and informal, so while it would be nice to get articles up to featured status, its main goal is to allow people to join in now, knowing that there are other editors currently active on the same article, which makes editing much more effective and fun!

How it works
  1. Nominate an article, stub or even red link that you would like to work on, saying why it is important to cover that topic.
  2. Start working on the article!
  3. Anyone else interested can sign their name to show support, and then start working on the article immediately!
  4. An article will be removed from the list if
  • in its first week, an article fails to receive three votes.
  • twelve people are listed as working on the article
  • the nomination is four weeks old.

(These numbers may change over time to keep the list at a manageable level)

This is designed to ensure that each article gets its fair amount of editors without focusing too much on any one article, and allows a rapid turnover of new articles to keep things fresh. As it's meant to be quite informal, articles removed from the list won't be archived into "winners" and "losers", indeed they won't be archived at all. :)

Here is a template for nominations:

===[[ARTICLE]]===
:''nominated'' [[DATE]]: Expires [[Date four weeks from now]]
::''requires 3 votes by [[Date one week from now]] to remain listed
