Collaboration of the Week

The collaborations of the week are - N/A

Even if you're not knowledgeable on the subject you can always contribute by checking it for readability, linking, etc.

Skip to current candidates • Previous collaborations • Removed nominations (Pruning)

Shortcuts

Each week a professional wrestling collaboration of the week topic will be picked using this page. This is a specific professional wrestling-related topic which initially either has no article, has only a basic stub-like page, is in need of more information, or needs to be thoroughly sourced and copy-edited to make it a good article candidate. The aim of this project is to improve the quality of Wikipedia's professional wrestling-related articles through widespread cooperative editing. It is our hope that some of these will go on to become featured articles. Every two weeks on the Sunday, the votes are tallied, and the two candidates with the most votes will be promoted for two weeks to potential contributors.

For general discussion of the tasks of WikiProject Professional wrestling, please see the project's talk page.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Collaboration/Schedule

Templates

When a page is selected to be the "professional wrestling collaboration of the week", it's talk page will be tagged with {{Current-PWCOTW}}:

This is the current professional wrestling collaboration of the week!
Please help to improve it to match the quality of an ideal Wikipedia professional wrestling article.

Former collaborations are tagged on their talk page with {{Current-PWCOTW|Former|Start date|End date}}. For example:

This article was the professional wrestling collaboration of the week between April 23 and April 29 2007
Please help to continue to improve it to match the quality of an ideal Wikipedia professional wrestling article.

The opt out list for the weekly notice is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Collaboration of the week/Nospam.

The monthly featured article collaboration

For the weeks which the 28th day of the month falls on, one of the two COTW articles will be chosen from good article candidates instead of articles rated a lower class. This is done in hopes of making the article reach featured article status. This collaboration will be different from all of the others, as rather than simply focusing on expansion and copy-editing, this will show much more attention to detail, as the goal is to make sure the article passes all of the featured article criteria. The reason for this monthly drive is to make sure this project produces featured articles at a relatively constant rate.

Selecting the next PWCOTW

How to nominate

Guidelines

A previous COTW article can only be renominated after two months, and only if it was rated below good article class when promoted.
A pruned article can only be renominated after two months.
You must be a registered user to nominate an article.
If you have already nominated an article, all your existing nominations require at least two votes each for you to nominate a new article.
An article cannot be nominated if it is a current good article nominee or featured article candidate.

Considerations for nominations

Giving reasons why an article should become the PWCOTW may convince others to support your nomination.
Can the wider professional wrestling community easily contribute to the article? Or is it something only a small number of people will know about?
Is the article a stub or very short?
A good place to look for articles that might be worthy of a nomination are the professional wrestling stubs and bio stubs.
If you are looking to nominate an article for the FACOTW, consider the professional wrestling GA-Class and A-Class articles.
Consider renominating a past candidate for COTW which had strong support but didn't quite make the cut.

Add nomination

Copy and paste the following template to the bottom of the list of nominations on this page and fill it out. Good articles are to be listed under the "Good article candidates" section.

; Comments:
* (put your reason for nomination) ~~~~

Voting

A vote or a show of support for an article shows your commitment to support and aid in collaborating on that specific article if it is chosen. Although you are not required to fulfill that commitment, we ask that you only support articles that you are able to contribute to so that this collaboration's goals of expanding and improving articles can adequately be achieved. Feel free to vote for as many candidates as you like.

Any registered user is encouraged to vote so long as you abide by the policies of Wikipedia, specifically Wikipedia:Sock puppetry.

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).

To vote for a nomination, edit the nomination and add the following to the bottom of the Support section:

# ~~~~

This adds your username and a time stamp to the numbered list item. The vote will look like this:

Username 08:59, 1 July 2005 (UTC)

If you wish to withdraw your vote, do not remove your vote; instead, add an asterisk and strike-through tags to your vote as shown:

#* <s>[[User:Username|Username]] 08:59, 1 July 2005 (UTC)</s>

This allows Wikipedia to correctly calculate the remaining votes and will appear like this:

Username2 08:39, 1 July 2005 (UTC)
- ~~Username 08:59, 1 July 2005 (UTC)~~
Username3 08:39, 2 July 2005 (UTC)

Note: We do not choose the article through consensus; we choose it through a majority voting system.

Ties

In the case of a tie, voting will be extended for 24 hours. If there is still a tie, the candidate that was nominated first wins. During the extended voting period the old collaboration will remain active. In the case of extended voting, the collaboration period will be reduced to 6 days.

Pruning

Nominations will be removed if they do not receive 3 votes for every 7 days. ie. 3 votes after 7 days on the list, 6 votes after 14 days, 9 votes after 21 days, and so on. A pruned article cannot be renominated for at least two months after the fact. Good article candidates are not subject to pruning.

Candidates for next week

Next week's "collaboration of the week" will be decided on Sunday June 8. A maximum of ten nominations are allowed.

I just added two references easily found for the man who influenced James Brown, Bob Dylan, Muhammad Ali & Ric Flair. You might have heard of them. This link can make a better case for George's importance then I can.--Endless Dan 18:02, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I suggested this a few months ago, but it got little to no support. Should definitely be better than it is. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 16:43, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
We think Hogan was popular; HA! He's got nothing on this guy. This is the man who first made wrestling popular single handedly; he deserves a great article. -The Hybrid- 04:34, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who can forget his classic battles with "Boxcar" Joe Stetcher & Earl "the Pearl of the Midwest" Caddock? Classic bouts of the squared circle. --Endless Dan 12:35, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
We can kill two birds with one stone with this one. The article is a stub, so improving it will help the Stub Expansion Project. Nikki311 19:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not particularly interested in current wrestlers, but this is very close to GA material. Working together, we could put the finishing touches on it within a few days. GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:45, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Every one of us has struggled with this article at least once. It looks like a random IP wrote it out, and it needs clean-up and sourcing. It would be great if we could clean it up, and make it an FL. King iMatthew 20 08 12:46, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note: according to the instructions on this page, you should wait two weeks between nominating articles. GaryColemanFan (talk) 21:53, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- You read it wrong, it reads "If you have already nominated an article, all your existing nominations require at least two votes each for you to nominate a new article." And the previous nomination has three votes. (It has two when I nominated this) King iMatthew 20 08 22:35, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - You're right. I did, in fact, read it wrong. My apologies. I suppose that means I didn't actually have to wait two weeks before nominating Gregory Helms. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:13, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since this was nominated and failed not too long ago, and think we should hold off on voting for this one to put some time between nominations. Nikki311 22:04, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
