Wikipedia:New Zealand Collaboration of the Fortnight
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Every two weeks, a New Zealand Collaboration of the Fortnight 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 New Zealand, the aim being to have a featured-standard article by the end of the period, from widespread cooperative editing.
The project aims to fill gaps about New Zealand in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. You can find a list of New Zealand articles on the Todo list on the WikiProject:New_Zealand. Anyone who is a registered user, not just New Zealanders, can nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles.
Every second Sunday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for two weeks to potential contributors.
 |
The current New Zealand Collaboration of the Fortnight is New Zealand literature. Every fortnight a different New Zealand-related topic, stub or non-existent article is picked. Please read the nomination text and improve the article any way you can. |

[edit] Considerations for nominations
- Please only nominate New Zealand articles which don't currently exist or need serious work. – also see New Zealand stubs). If you have an article that is not related to New Zealand please use Collaboration of the Week, which is not specific to New Zealand articles.
- Giving reasons as to why an article should become the NZCOTF 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?
- Check /Removed. If the topic has failed in nomination within a month, then do not re-nominate it.
[edit] Selection
If the article is selected as the NZCOTF, enter the article's complete title at Template:NZCOTF article. The template {{Current New Zealand COTF}} should then be placed at the top of the selected article's page. This expands to:
When the article is no longer NZCOTF, please add the following template to the talk page: {{past NZCOTF|start date|end date|year}}
[edit] Pruning
Nominations will be moved to /Removed if they do not attract attention. An item will be allowed to remain up for voting two weeks per two votes it receives.
Items may also be removed if they are inappropriate for nomination (see Considerations... above)
Please see the talk page to discuss to changes in pruning policy.

[edit] Category:New Zealand
2 votes needed by 9 December 2006
I noticed that Category:New Zealand, or more specific the sub-categories, are all over the place. So I propose the collaboration (which is a tad quiet) be used to clean them up and make all the categories logical, place articles into correct categories etc.
