Shortcut

Every week a Collaboration of the week will be picked using this page. This is a specific topic related to biographies which either has no article or can be drastically improved with the goal of a feature-standard article by the end of the two weeks, from widespread cooperative editing.

Template:BioCOTWs The next winner may be selected on Sunday, July 17, 17:40 (UTC). The current date and time is 02:31, November 16, 2024.
Previous winners can be found at /History.

Selecting the next Collaboration of the week

  • Voting
    • Users are allowed to vote only for those candidates that were nominated after they had registered. The votes of unregistered users will not be taken into consideration. Register at the Create account / log in page in order to be eligible to vote for future candidates.
    • 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.
    • A vote will be taken to include a pledge that the voter will contribute to the article if it is selected.
    • 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).
  • Tie-breakers
    • In case of a tie, voting will be extended for 24 hours. If there is still a tie, the candidate that was nominated first wins.
  • Nominations
    • New nominations can be made at any time and should be added at the end of this page. Please use the template at the bottom of this page.
    • If the page you are nominating already exists, please add {{BioCOTWs}} to the top of its talk page. This expands to:

Template:BioCOTWs

  • Considerations for nominations
The path to a featured article
    • Please only nominate articles which don't currently exist or can be drastically improved.
    • Giving reasons as to why an article should become the COTW may assist others in casting their vote.
  • Pruning
    • The nomination will be moved to /Removed if it has not received 3 votes after 14 days on the list, 6 votes after 28 days, 9 votes after 42 days, and so on. Essentially, an article needs to get 3 nominations every two weeks until the Sunday on which it has the most votes.

Candidates for next week

If an article wins, please add {{BioCOTWnow}} to the top of the article, which will show up as: Template:BioCOTWnow Also add the BioCOTWvoter template to the talk pages of all the people who voted for the current BioCOTW winner.

Comments:

  • The current Chancellor of Germany and about to be much in the news as he faces an uphill fight for re-election, but the article on him is very thin. What of his various reform proposals for the German welfare system, for instance? David File:Arms-westminster-lb.jpg | Talk 3 July 2005 10:53 (UTC)
  • Exactly. Let us have real information on his *policies*, enough so one can judge by oneself in this important political time in German politics. Let us go beyond the simple life story.

  • If we had a sports COTW I would nominated there instead but this will do. I don't know what should be done to the article but I believe should be done. Anyone else have similar feelings? Falphin 21:13, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
