Welcome to the Scottish Islands Wikiproject Collaboration of the Month! This effort seeks to identify articles related to Scottish Islands, their history, culture and infrastructure etc that require improvement. Every month, a single article will be selected as the collaboration, and everyone will work to improve it as much as possible. (It has been requested we work on a number of articles from different genres at once to reflect interest diversity, that may be added later)

Nominating articles

To nominate an article, add

===[[Name of article]]===

Nomination text. ~~~~

'''Support'''

# ~~~~

'''Comments'''

at the bottom of the list of candidates, filling in the name of the article and the nomination text (which should indicate why the article would benefit from a collaboration and what needs to be improved).

Please remember to add collaboration-candidate=yes to the {{NovelsWikiProject}} project banner at the top of the article's talk page (see the Project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax).

Stalled nominations

Nominations which have "stalled" through lack of support are listed at: Wikipedia:WikiProject Scottish Islands/Stalled. Stalled nominations are those which have received no more than two votes of support (including the original nomination) during their first six months on the candidates list. Should a stalled nomination receieve a third vote of support, its listing should return to the list of active candidtaes below as it may have sufficient community interest to be selected.

Candidates

Isle of Inch Holm

The Isle of Inch Holm is a highly important island, blah blah, and is the biggest Scottish Island, so big in fact it is in both the Outer Hebrides and Orkney.

This very important island is where all the Norse-Gaels came from, blah blah (alright, again, just example text)

History

Note: This section is left untouched, but we can just about set up a primitive table like this - MacR

Maintenance

At the beginning of every month, a new collaboration article should be selected. This should generally be the candidate with the most support (and the oldest candidate in case of a tie).

To archive the current collaboration:

1. Remove {{ScottishIslands Collaboration}} from the top of the current collaboration article.
2. Change the date details on the article talk page past-collaboration=<start date>–<end date> in the {{WikiProject Scottish Islands}} project banner to include the end date.
3. Add the current article to the bottom of the history section.
4. Move the current article's nomination text to the archive.

To select the new collaboration:

1. Add {{ScottishIslands Collaboration}} to the top of the new article.
2. Move the new article's nomination text to the "Current collaboration" section.
3. Update ScottishIslands Collaboration/Collaboration/Current to point to the new article.
4. Replace collaboration-candidate=yes with past-collaboration=<start date>–<end date> in the {{WikiProject Scottish Islands}} project banner at the top of the new article's talk page. The "<end-date>" element should read "open" to start with.
5. Add {{subst:WikiProject Scottish Islands/Collaboration/Notice|Name of article}} ~~~~ to the talk pages of users who supported the new article.
6. Update Template:WikiProject Scottish Islands for the next vote date.
