Wikipedia:WikiProject Fungi/Fungi Collaboration

The Fungi collaboration has been a coordinated effort by WikiProject Fungi to improve Wikipedia's fungus-related content. However, being a member of WikiProject Fungi is not a prerequisite for participation in this collaboration. All Wikipedians, regardless of their level of expertise on the subject, are welcome to contribute. It is currently inactive, and was active from February to July 2007, during which time articles were selected monthly, and two months had double successful nominations. Altogether seven articles were chosen, three of which subsequently achieved Featured Status. Interest petered out in July 2007 and it became inactive.

Aside from the main benefit of creating better fungi articles on Wikipedia, it is hoped that the successful execution of this initiative will a) Attract new editors to work on the Project; b) Improve the writing skills of existing editors; and c) Demonstrate the value of collaboration on Wikipedia. The ultimate goal of the Fungi Collaboration is to get at least one fungus or fungus-related article featured every month.

Nomination procedure
A list of past collaborations can be viewed here.

Any user may nominate an article to be collaborated upon. Nominees should:


 * Be about any fungus or directly mycological topic.
 * Need a significant amount of work in terms of content, organization, prose, etc.
 * Not be in any edit conflict or be under protection.

If you would like to nominate an article, please add it at the bottom of the list of nominees along with a short note describing why you think it should be chosen. Every month, the nominee with the most votes will be chosen for collaboration. All nominees will stay on the nominee list for 3 months whereupon they will be cleared and nominating/voting will start anew. Once selected for collaboration, an article will receive its own sub-page for discussion of how to improve the article.

For more detailed discussion, see the Collaboration talk page.

For more complete articles...
If you think an article is good enough to be a Featured Article Candidate, feel free to nominate it. However, it is recommended that you have the article peer reviewed first. Peer reviewed articles are generally more polished and are often more likely to receive votes of support on the FAC page. If you would like to discuss a particular article before sending it to be reviewed, bring it up on the talk page of the article in question, of this page, or the WikiProject Fungi talk page. If you do send an article for peer review or to the FAC page, please let us know by adding it to the appropriate list below so that we can support it!

In terms of criteria consider proximity to FAC candicacy in terms of work required + personal preference + global importance with respect to other fungi or FA list and wikipedia in general, in whatever ratios you wish...
