Shortcut

Each week a Gaming Collaboration of the week will be picked using this page. This is a specific computer or video game-related topic which initially either has no article, has only a basic stub-like page, or is in need of more information. The aim of this project is to improve the quality of Wikipedia's computer and video game articles through widespread cooperative editing. For a discussion on the correct format of computer and video game articles, please see WikiProject Computer and Video Games.

The project is also used to fill gaps in Wikipedia, to give users a focus, and to give us all something to be proud of. Any registered user can nominate an article and can vote for any number of the nominated articles. Every Sunday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.

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).

Remember: Any registered user is encouraged to 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 provided template.

If the page you are nominating already exists, please add {{GCOTW}} to the top of its talk page. This expands to: Template:GCOTW

If the article is selected as the Gaming Collaboration of the week, please add {{Current-GCOTW}} to the top of the article page. This expands to: Template:Current-GCOTW

Considerations for nominations

  • Giving reasons as to why an article should become the GCOTW may assist others in casting their vote.
  • Can the wider gaming community easily contribute to the article? Or is it something only a small number of people will know about?

Pruning

Nominations will be moved to /Removed if they have not received 3 votes after 7 days on the list, 6 votes after 14 days, 9 votes after 21 days, and so on.

Candidates for next week

Comments:

  • One of the SNES's "farewell" games. An interesting game. I own a working copy, so I can contribute information and (hopefully) screen captures. Wikipedia's Kirby coverage needs expansion. Also note that "Super Star" is the correct capitalization, as per [1]; List of SNES games gives it as "Superstar". --Slowking Man 23:57, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)
  • Yep, there's nothing like making a new, extensive page for a retro game. I haven't played it myself, but I'm sure that I can dig up some information. --pie4all88 00:14, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • I'd be able to help. –Andre (talk) 15:10, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Comments:

  • This was the first Mario RPG game and the last SNES game. It's also great fun to play (or so my friends keep telling me) and it's a milestone in other respects (see the article). This article could definitely be longer. -Litefantastic 19:42, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • My favorite game! I'd be happy to contribute to this; I'd already put in a picture when this was nominated. pie4all88 20:55, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • I'll be glad to assist. –Andre (talk) 15:10, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Comments:

  • Long-running role-playing game series that dates back to 1988. The sequels helped sell Sega Genesis\Megadrive consoles early on, and the latest in the series, Phantasy Star Online, was very popular. Currently, the article is merely three paragraphs and a list. Collaboration could delve into the history Phantasy Star presents, the aliens and planets, the language, Alys\Alis... ~ FriedMilk 02:35, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
  • This sounds like a good GCOTW. I've only played PSO:Episode 1 & 2 (and I enjoyed that immensely), but it is an important series. pie4all88 20:55, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Color Dreams

Nominated 6 October; needs 3 votes by 13 October (minimum 3 votes per week)

Support:

  1. [[User:Bobdoe|BobDoe]] 05:02, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  3. –Andre (talk) 15:10, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Comments:

  • Color Dreams was one of the few companies that actually made it "big" in the unlicensed Nintendo game market. We have an article on what they later became (Wisdom Tree), but they lack an article themselves. They're also mildly notable for being one of the first companies to break the 10NES lockout chip without stealing intellectual property. -- [[User:Bobdoe|BobDoe]] 05:02, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)

City of Heroes

Nominated October 7; needs 3 votes by October 14 (minimum 3 votes per week)

Comments:

  • The #1 MMORPG of 2004, but just a bare-bones entry. [[User:Davodd|DAVODD «TALK»]] 06:31, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
  • Perhaps the game's attempts to eliminate some of the stereotypical problems of MMORPGs could be addressed. --Slowking Man 06:39, Oct 7, 2004 (UTC)
  • I haven't played this game, so I'm not sure how much I can contribute, but it is very popular and deserves to be a GCOTW. pie4all88 02:52, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Quake II

  • Considered by many to be Sony Playstation's mascot. GuloGuloGulo 17:48, Oct 9, 2004 (UTC)
  • Would be nice for balance after we've done Mario ;) -- Fredrik | talk 18:29, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Comments:

  • I noticed there wasn't many PC games running for nomination.
  • please sign your nomination by writting [[# ~~~~]] right after the header please. About the article, it seems well developed enough, just needs a box scan and a screenshot, which I'll add this week.
  • I'd say it's much more complete than most of our game articles. ~ FriedMilk 22:58, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC)
