Wikipedia:WikiProject Hinduism/Collaboration of the week

Every week an Hinduism-related Collaboration of the Week will be picked using this page. The goal of each collaboration is to take an undeveloped or underdeveloped Hinduism-related topic and improve it over the course of the week, ideally to the level of a featured article. At the end of each week, the topic with the most support votes will be selected for collaboration.

The over-arching aim of this project is to improve Wikipedia's content about Hinduism and also to give users a focus and an opportunity to collaboratively edit content and to give us all something to be proud of.

How it works:
Any registered wikipedian can nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles. Voting also indicates interest in contributing during the weekly collaboration cycle. Every Friday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.

Nomination criteria

 * Please nominate only one article at a time.

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.

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).
