Each week a professional wrestling collaboration of the week topic will be picked using this page. This is a specific professional wrestling-related topic which initially either has no article, has only a basic stub-like page, is in need of more information or needs to be thoroughly sourced & copyedited to make it a Good Article candidate. The aim of this project is to improve the quality of Wikipedia's pro wrestling related articles through widespread cooperative editing. It is our hope that some of these will go on to become featured articles. For general discussion of the tasks of WikiProject Professional wrestling please see the Project's Talk Page. Any registered user can nominate an article and can vote for any number of the nominated articles. Every Sunday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.

Previous collaborations can be found at /History.
Removed nominations can be found at /Removed.

Templates

When a page is selected to be the "professional wrestling collaboration of the week" it's talk page will be tagged with {{Current-PWCOTW}}:

Former collaborations are tagged on their talk page with {{Current-PWCOTW|Former|Start date|End date}}. For example:

Project participants are notified with {{Pwcotw notice}} on their user talk pages. Template:Pwcotw notice

The opt out list for the weekly notice is Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Collaboration of the week/Nospam.

The monthly featured article collaboration

Additionally, one week out of every month will be devoted to expanding one of the project's Good Articles in hopes of making it reach Featured Article status. This collaboration will be different from all of the others, as rather than simply focusing on expansion and copy-editing, this will show much more attention to detail, as the goal is to make sure the article passes all of the featured article criteria. The reason for this monthly drive is to make sure this project produces featured articles at a relatively constant rate.

Selecting the next PW collaboration of the week

Considerations for nominations

  • Giving reasons why an article should become the PWCOTW may convince others to support your nomination.
  • Can the wider pro wrestling community easily contribute to the article? Or is it something only a small number of people will know about?
  • Is the article a stub or very small?
  • A good place to look for articles that might be worthy of a nomination are the professional wrestling stubs and professional wrestling bio stubs.
  • If you are looking to nominate an article for the FACOTW, then look at the list of Good Articles on the project's main page.
  • Consider re-nominating a past candidate for COTW which had strong support but didn't quite make the cut.

How to nominate

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. Feel free to vote for as many candidates as you like.

Any registered user is encouraged to vote so long as you abide by the policies of Wikipedia, specifically Wikipedia:Sockpuppets.

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).

To vote for a nomination, edit the nomination and add the following to the bottom of the Support section: 

# ~~~~

This adds your username and a time stamp to the numbered list item. The vote will look like this:

  1. Username 08:59, 1 July 2005 (UTC)

If you wish to withdraw your vote, do not remove your vote; instead, add an asterisk and strike-through tags to your vote as shown: 

#* <s>[[User:Username|Username]] 08:59, 1 July 2005 (UTC)</s>

This allows Wikipedia to correctly calculate the remaining votes and will appear like this:

  1. Username2 08:39, 1 July 2005 (UTC)
  2. Username3 08:39, 2 July 2005 (UTC)

Note:We do not choose the article through consensus; we choose it through a majority voting system.

Ties

In case of a tie, voting will be extended for 24 hours. If there is still a tie, the candidate that was nominated first wins. During the extended voting period the old collaboration will still be active. In the case of extended voting, the collaboration period will be reduced to 6 days.

Pruning

Nominations will be moved to /Removed if they have not received 3 votes after 7 days on the list, 6 votes after 14 days, 9 votes after 21 days, and so on.

PW Collaboration of the week

The Collaboration of the week is - N/A

Even if you're not knowledgeable on the subject you can always contribute by checking it for readability, linking etc.

  • This article has a lot of potential, but it needs a lot of work. It currently has three tags at the top: Cleanup, Copyedit, and Inappropriate Tone. It's also lacking a lot of sources. It has good information and a lot of pictures, so I think it could easily be moved up to GA status or better. GaryColemanFan 03:05, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speaking of pictures...I don't even know if overkill is a strong enough word. Nikki311 03:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Deciding which should stay and which should go could be part of the collaboration. GaryColemanFan 12:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to guess right now that some of them pictures are copyrighted. Could easily be a GA. Support. Davnel03 15:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This article has a crap load of potential and needs to expanded and citations needs to be added. Mr. C.C. 04:19, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • An Article so important like the history of WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT, is just B-Class. I think we can do something about this. Obviously, with the years, this article can become a FA easily, it just needs the support and hard work from us. Lex94 12:17, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bad-faith nomination. Yes, work needs to be done to it, but it is vandalised every single day if I'm to be honest. It will probably never improve past B level. If others agree with me, this nomination shall be removed. Davnel03 12:26, 14 October 2007 (UTC) Support - Davnel03 14:55, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Our will in wikipedia is supposed to help articles expand and improve, and expand the knowledge of most people via this encyclopedia. With an attitude like "the article will get vandalized, so why have it improved...", you are assuming bad-faith from editors (try reading Wikipedia's policy on Assuming Good Faith). I think this article is extremely important, and is the base on all knowledge of all WWE related articles. It is the company that made Pro Wrestling what it is today, and deserves an FA. This is why I nominated it. Lex94 15:24, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Stongly Agree with everything the nom said - this should have been a FA a long time ago. If the same attitude was kept by the detractor above as all the other users on Wikipedia, Wikipedia would get no where.--Endless Dan 16:44, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - the amount of vandalism, while it may suck, should not be a detering factor. WWE needs to be an FA, period. --Naha|(talk) 00:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, vandalism is entirely irrelevant. It takes a maximum of three clicks to revert it. WWE is the undisputed king of the wrestling industry; such a high-profile article absolutely must be of only the best quality. I'd like to see this make GA, so next month it can be the FACOTW. The Hybrid T/C 01:23, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment those that say "vandalism is irrelevant" I would like to point out that one of the criterias for "GA" is "Stability", as in no edit warring, little vandalism and a generally stable article - it'd have a hard time fullfilling that GA criteria at the moment, doesn't mean it shouldn't or can't be improved but it makes is much harder to get it above the "B" rating it has now unfortunately.

  • I'm nominating this for 2 reasons: 1) I did most of the work in making it a GA and making it a FA would make me happy 2) It has a variety of sources at the moment and considering his notability, there are a lot more out there. Having the required third party sourcing for a FA article would not be a problem. In addition, the excellent GA reviews of Naha and MPJ-DK really helped improve the article. Their incredible eyes for detail really made the article close to FA status already, in my opinion. Nikki311 17:25, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm also voting yes to this article. Kurt Angle is one of the most important men in the business today and the article could certainly get FA status with a bit of work. Gavyn Sykes 18:24, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kurt has and will always be one of the most important wrestlers ever. So, I think he does deserve an FA. Lex94 22:54, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • He's the Heavyweight Champion and the top heel for the second-largest Pro Wrestling company in the United States, and he caused the ratings for that company to rise by 300,000 viewers when he pulled his high-profile jump from the WWE. This article becoming featured would be absolutely wonderful. The Hybrid T/C 01:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
