Shortcut

Each week, Wikipedians nominate an article to become the collaboration of the week. 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.

Collaborations
Articles
Science and technology
Miscellaneous

The next collaboration will be selected at 18:00 on Sunday October 9, UTC (the current time is 00:19, January 6, 2025).

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.

Nominating articles

To nominate an article:

  • At the bottom of the list of nominees on this page enter the text {{Wikipedia:Collaborations of the Week/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.

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.

Lydia

Nominated on 22:41, 22 September 2005 (UTC); needs 6 votes by 6 October.

Lydia was a significant and original culture in Asia Minor. The article needs Ethno-linguistic, Culture, Economics (Some believe they were the first to use coins) and History sections.

Arithmetic logic unit

Nominated on 20:22, 25 September 2005 (UTC); needs 6 votes by October 9, 2005.

This is a fundamental and basic section of a CPU. I am shocked to see this article as short as it is. This should be developed. There are many resources online and in libraries about it.

Defense (military)

Nominated on 00:13, 30 September 2005 (UTC); needs 3 votes by October 6.

As such a basic article concept, this definitely needs some improvement. This could easily become a huge article - history of defense, how it's changed, basic concepts of defense, the list is endless.

I was nominating this because it's the site's most wanted stub, with 7808 pages linking to it as of Oct 29, and I noticed it had been previously nominated. -- Beland 09:02, 6 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Absolute monarchy in France

Nominated on 20:56, 30 September 2005 (UTC); needs 3 votes by 7 October.

France is the most promiant example of Absolutism in the 17th and 18th centuries. Someone has finally given it its own (if not very wikified) article. 130.160.86.143 20:56, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Content delivery

Nominated on 12:20, 2 October 2005 (UTC); needs 3 votes by October 9.

This subject is very good for expanding and now it is very small. I won't expand it because of my poor English. I think this article need to be expanded becaues it can be said much more about it than it is now.
