Each fortnight (two weeks), Wikipedians from WikiProject Square Enix 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.

[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 two weeks 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 Square Enix/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.
