Wikipedia:Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight
Each week an Australian Collaboration of the Week will be picked using this page. This is a specific topic which either has no article or a basic stub page that is directly related to Australia, the aim being to have a featured-standard article by the end of the week, from widespread cooperative editing.
The project aims to fill gaps about Australia in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. Anyone can nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles. Every Sunday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.
Previous winners can be found at /History.
Removed nominations can be found at /Removed.
Selecting the next Collaboration of the Week
The next winner will be selected on Sunday, October 3, 18:00 (UTC).
Voting
Please vote for as many of the following candidates as you like. 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).
Only registered users should vote.
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.
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.
If the page you are nominating already exists, please add {{Current Australian COTW}} to the top of its talk page. This expands to: Template:Current Australian COTW
Considerations for nominations
- Please only nominate Australian articles which don't currently exist or are stubs. (Two paragraphs or less of information or fewer than 1,000 characters) If you have an article that is not related to Australia please use Collaboration of the Week, which is not specific to Australian articles.
- For non-stubs, submitting the article to pages needing attention, cleanup, peer review, or requests for expansion may be more appropriate.
- Giving reasons as to why an article should become the COTW may assist others in casting their vote.
- Can the wider community easily contribute to the article? Or is it something only a small number of people will know about?
Pruning
For pages nominated on or after 1 September 2004, the nomination will be moved to /Removed if it has not received 3 votes after 7 days on the list, 7 votes after 14 days, 11 votes after 21 days, and so on. Please see the talk page for discussion of this change in pruning policy.
