The current Brighton Collaboration of the month is "Auto rickshaw". To nominate or vote for an article visit the collaboration page.

The Brighton Collaboration of the Month is a collaborative effort to improve Brighton-related articles, in order to help them reach featured-article standards. Anyone, no matter what their level of knowledge about Brighton and Hove, is welcome to lend a hand. Each month, an article is chosen by people interested in the topic, and for the next month the chosen article is worked on, under Wikipedia's principle of collaborative editing. This provides a single article for people to concentrate their efforts on collaboratively.

Selecting the next collaboration

Collaborations are changed roughly every other first day of a month. The selection process involves three steps:

1. Nomination: New nominations can be made at any time and should be added at the end of the Candidates for next Month section. Insightful comments may assist others in casting their vote.
2. Voting: To vote for an article, add your ~~~~ under the article's support section. Any registered Wikipedian can vote on this page, regardless of their level of knowledge about the subject.
3. Selection: The colllaboration is selected by approval voting; thus, you may vote for as many candidates as you like, and opposition votes have no bearing. The article with the most support votes is selected as the winner. In case of a tie, the candidate that was nominated first wins.

A nomination will be removed and archived if it does not receive at least 1 vote per week.

Preparing the next collaboration

To change to a newly selected article, first close the previous one:

1. Remove the article from current collaboration page to reflect the change.
2. Change COTF=yes on the previous selected article talk page to COTF-old=yes
3. Note the selection in the collaboration archive.
4. If appropriate, the article should be referred to Peer review and later to Featured article candidates.

Now prepare the new article:

1. Change to the new selection at the current collaboration by replacing the old article with the new.
2. Remove the new article from the Next collaboration section, and note it on the collaboration archive.
3. Change the COTF-nom=yes on the newly nominated article talk page to COTF=yes
4. Contact the Wikipedians who voted for the winning article in their talk pages.
