Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Core topics/Core topics COTF

This Collaboration of the Fortnight is intended to work on essential topics that would go in a release version of Wikipedia. We no longer manage one article a fortnight; the interval is normally around a month per article.

We started with articles listed at Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Core topics and Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Core topics/Supplement; we are willing now to consider other major topics such as those listed at WP:VA.

Only approval votes count. Nominations can be removed after one month if they are not seconded.

The most recent COTF was , from August to September 2008.

Please vote only if you expect to work on the article.
