  • Previous winners can be found at /History
  • Removed nominations can be found at /Removed

Each week a UK 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 the United Kingdom, 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 the UK in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. You can find a list of UK articles on the Todo list on the UK Wikipedians' noticeboard or you can look in List of United Kingdom-related topics or the UK Wikipedians' complete to do list. 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.

You can see a list of current featured articles on UK subjects here.

Selecting the next Collaboration of the Week

The next winner will be selected on Sunday, 2 January, 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. Any Wikipedian can vote on this page. You do not have to be from the UK!!!

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 {{Possible UK COTW}} to the top of its talk page. This expands to: Template:Possible UK COTW

Considerations for nominations

  • Please only nominate UK articles which don't currently exist or are stubs. (Although we're more leniant here as to what counts as a stub and what doesn't). If you have an article that is not related to UK please use Collaboration of the Week, which is not specific to UK articles.
  • Giving reasons as to why an article should become the UKCOTW may assist others in casting their vote.

Pruning

The nomination will be moved to /Removed if it has not received 3 votes after 7 days on the list, 6 votes after 14 days, 9 votes after 21 days, and so on.

The dates above each nomination may appear to be random, but they are the target date by which that target figure needs to be achieved. This needs to be raised each time an article's votes reach the previous target. This avoids users who are new to the system from thinking that an article doesn't need any further votes because it has reached its weekly target.
