Wikipedia:Canada collaboration


 * See WikiProject Canada.

The Canada Collaboration is an effort to improve Canada-related articles in Wikipedia, with an aim toward creating a feature-standard article during the month-long cooperative editing process. Anyone can nominate an article, or vote for a nominated article.

The project maintains a list of previously-nominated articles, a list of winning collaborations, and a partial list of participants in the project.

Selecting the next collaboration
The Canadian Collaboration article selection is suspended.

Nominating an article
To nominate an article for the Canada collaboration, follow this process:

If the page you are nominating already exists, please add to the top of its talk page.

Voting
If you support an article, please vote by clicking on edit by the article's title, and add a new line with the text "# ~". This will add your username and the time you signed automatically. Please add comments that might help others.


 * Please only add support votes - opposing votes will not affect the result as the choice is done by approval voting (the most votes, wins). Note your opposition under the Comments section.
 * Vote for as many candidates as you like.
 * A vote implies that you will make some contribution to the article if it is chosen.
 * Only registered users should vote.
 * Being Canadian is not a requirement to vote!

Selection
Each month, the collaboration is chosen based on the article with the largest amount of support. 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.

When a new selection has been made, the template should be placed on the successful candidate's article page, and the following files need to be updated:


 * Canada collaboration (i.e. - this file)
 * Canada collaboration/current
 * automatically updates Template:Canada COTW, Goings-on and Community Portal
 * Wikipedia:Canada collaboration/History the new Collaboration to be placed there
 * Watch/collaborations - page is not currently in use

Pruning
An article is removed from the list of nominations if it has not reached 3 votes by the end of the next complete choosing interval, or not chosen for two months. Removed nominations are listed at /Removed.

Alberta
With such a great influx of immigration, industry and general interest in many aspects recently, the facts about the province should be of higher quality.
