The Collaboration of the Week is an opportunity to highlight a specific Wikitravel article that needs improvement in some way. While anyone can edit any article at any time, the Collaboration of the Week provides a way to highlight a single article allowing many contributors to help improve it together.

Contents

Current

03 October 2006 - 09 October 2006

  • Pittsburgh. The article needs to conform to MoS. District articles need templates, conform to MoS, and listings for sections. - Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 22:41, 12 June 2006 (EDT)


Upcoming

10 October 2006 - 16 October 2006

  • Brisbane. Information for listing is needed and conformity to MoS. - Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 01:56, 14 June 2006 (EDT)
    • Can somebody do a map while we're at it? Some good editing on this one could promote it to DOTM-worthy very quickly, if a map can be added. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 21:26, 14 September 2006 (EDT)

17 October 2006 - 23 October 2006

24 October 2006 - 30 October 2006

  • Los Angeles. There's actually some pretty good info in the districts, but the main page is a mess, with great big slabs of emptiness. Jpatokal 20:38, 16 June 2006 (EDT)

31 October 2006 - 06 November 2006

  • New Delhi. We're long overdue to have an Indian city as a DotM, and this one isn't too far from being ready. MoS work and grammar/spelling checks are needed throughout. Many attractions need hours/fees/contact info, etc. And as usual, it needs a map. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 14:22, 18 June 2006 (EDT)

Nominating

You can nominate an article you would like to see as Collaboration of the week. Please follow the following guidelines.

  • The nominated article should have an article status of usable. The idea is that a usable article is more likely to have sufficient stuff for people to whip into shape. Many articles listed in Articles needing attention fall in this category.
  • You should mention at least five (5) ways in which to improve the article. This requirement will provide a roadmap for the effort and act as a barrier to nominating something that can be easily fixed. Some things you could suggest:
    • manual of style cleanup;
    • missing maps or photographs;
    • needs to be split into districts;
    • some major attractions that are missing; or
    • some sections which need more entries.
  • The destination should be interesting in some way. A destination that needs to get ready for an upcoming event will get preference. Other things that might make it interesting include:
    • it is popular with tourists;
    • it is earth shatteringly beautiful;
    • it is in a region with comparatively poor Wikitravel coverage (eg Africa); or
    • it is in a region from which there have been comparatively few Previous Destinations of the month.
  • Where possible, provide links to some reliable third party sites for researchers to use (such as the official local tourism site).
  • If an article meets the criteria above, add it to the "Upcoming" queue. There is no need for a discussion to select an article just for a week. Displace another article only if your nominee has to get into shape for something that can't wait. In that case, move everything in the queue down by one place. If it does not meet the other two criteria, feel free to simply replace the article.
  • Don't let the "Upcoming" queue have more than four articles.
  • Do not displace the current article after the week has started.

Please sign all nominations with your name (wiki markup: ~~~~)

Unscheduled nominations

  • Krakow. Good amount of information in the article. Could do with a bit of MoS editing, more pics, map. Big problems with districts though - 16 are listed on main page, but most dont warrant articles and need to be integrated together into a smaller number of good quality district articles. In my opinion not too far off being a very good guide article, maybe even a star if all above issues are addressed. Tsandell 07:11, 19 June 2006 (EDT)
  • London. Needs MoSing. -- Andrew Haggard (Sapphire) 15:08, 3 July 2006 (EDT)
  • Rio Good base that needs a bit of formatting and rewriting. A map would be really good. Jan 10:55, 27 July 2006 (EDT)
  • Hoi An Candidate for DotM February 2007 but needs a little work to fit as DoTM. Jc8136 10:13, 10 August 2006 (EDT)
  • Madrid Alot of content, but needs MoS editting, more contact details. I find it surprising that a city of Madrid's size doesn't have a better article. Tim 23:19, 17 August 2006 (EDT)
