Wikipedia:Mormon collaboration

---

The current collaboration is Shiblon.

The Mormon Collaboration is an effort to improve Mormon-related articles in Wikipedia, with a casual aim of creating a feature-standard article during the month-long cooperative editing process. Anyone can nominate an article or vote for a nominated article.

The project maintains a list of previously-nominated articles, a list of winning collaborations, and a partial list of participants in the project.

Selecting the next collaboration

Selection of articles to improve is suspended indefinitely. If you're interested in contributing, please improve the current article listed above.

Nominating an article

To nominate an article for the Mormon collaboration, follow this process:

I.	List Entry Addition   Edit this article, and append the following to the end of the list: {{Wikipedia:Mormon collaboration/Article}} Be sure to replace Article with the title of the article you are nominating. Please do not mark the edit as minor. Save the page. You should now see a link to the nomination page in the text; follow it. For example, this is needed to add Emma Hale Smith to the list of nominations: {{Wikipedia:Mormon collaboration/Emma Hale Smith}}
II.	Nomination Creation   Add this text to the new page: {{subst:MormonCollaboration | pg=Article | reason=Reason for the nomination.| nom=~~~~}} Put the page's name in place of "Article" and include your reason after reason=; nothing else should change. For example, the entry to nominate Emma Hale Smith would be: {{subst:MormonCollaboration|pg = Emma Hale Smith|reason = Article about Emma needs to be of higher quality.|nom = ~~~~}} If the page was not originally empty, the above text should go at the beginning. Check the "Watch this page" box if you would like to follow the voting process in your watchlist. Save the page.
III.	Talk Page Notification   If the page you are nominating already exists, please add this text to the top of its talk page: {{Possible Mormon COTM}}

Voting

If you support an article, please vote by clicking on edit by the article's title, and add a new line with the text "# ~~~~". This will add your username and the time you signed automatically. Please add comments that might help others .

• Please only add support votes - opposing votes will not affect the result as the choice is done by approval voting (the most votes, wins). Note your opposition under the Comments section.
• Vote for as many candidates as you like.
• A vote implies that you will make some contribution to the article if it is chosen.
• Only registered users should vote.
• Being Mormon is not a requirement to vote!

Selection

Each month, the collaboration is chosen based on the article with the largest amount of support. In case of a tie, the candidate that was nominated first wins.

When a new selection has been made, the {{Current Mormon COTM}} template should be placed on the successful candidate's article page, and the following files need to be updated:

• Wikipedia:Mormon collaboration
• Wikipedia:Mormon collaboration/current, which will automatically update Template:Mormon COTM, Wikipedia:Goings-on and Wikipedia:Community Portal
• Wikipedia:Mormon collaboration/History
