Shortcut

Each week a Gaming Collaboration of the week will be picked using this page. This is a specific computer or video game-related topic which initially either has no article, has only a basic stub-like page, or is in need of more information. The aim of this project is to improve the quality of Wikipedia's computer and video game articles through widespread cooperative editing. It is our hope that some of these will go on to become featured articles. For a discussion on the correct format of computer and video game articles, please see WikiProject Computer and video games.

The project is also used to fill gaps in Wikipedia, to give users a focus, and to give us all something to be proud of. Any registered user can nominate an article and can vote for any number of the nominated articles. Every Monday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.

Selecting the Next Gaming Collaboration of the week

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 of the following 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 enter your votes, simply edit the appropriate sections by just inserting a new line with "# ~~~~". This will add your username and a time stamp in a new numbered list item. The vote will look like this:

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

If you want to withdraw your votes, don't remove your name and date completely. Instead, place the strike-through tags <s>...</s> on your username. A withdrawn vote would look like this:

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

Any vote that has been stricken will not be counted.

Tie-breakers

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.

Nominations

New nominations can be made at any time and should be added at the end of this page. Please use the provided template.

If the page you are nominating already exists, please add {{GCOTW}} to the top of its talk page. This expands to: Template:GCOTW

If the article is selected as the Gaming Collaboration of the week, please add {{Current-GCOTW}} to the top of the article page. This expands to: Template:Current-GCOTW

Considerations for nominations

  • Giving reasons as to why an article should become the GCOTW may assist others in casting their vote.
  • Can the wider gaming 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? Or would the article fare better in a CVG Peer Review?
  • A good place to look for articles that might be worthy of a nomination is the Computer and video game stubs category.

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.

The current date and time is 03:33, October 11, 2024

Comments:

  • [This is a game which in my opinion is one of the best games I played in the later 90s. I see some details are explained about the illnesses in the game but it would be good to see a full list and possibly more details on the game itself.]
  • A great concept mixing humour with hospitals, and a very playable game! (this was me!) Marky1981 16:32, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I really loved this game, and the article needs some serious cleanup, but I'm not sure if it's well-known enough to be a successful GCOTW. I'm withholding my vote until this gets support from several people, to prove that others know about it. Kertrats 01:05, 16 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • This was a great game... unfortunately, its article barely fits the definition of the word "stub."

Comments:

  • Many handhelds are missing, and it would be great to have it fleshed out with more pictures and information about all handhelds ever created.
  • I like it--Zxcvbnm 14:49, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think the article name is too wordy. Just chop it down to "Handheld gaming consoles," the rest goes without saying. --Naha|(talk) 15:03, July 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • I'd be happy to donate a picture of my old gamegear. I think this article definately needs more substance -mysekurity 18:32, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think this is a good article to work on, it can be a really big one because it compares tons of systems. Xizer 22:41, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment on the name of the article. I noticed Xizer changed the article name here and I reverted that only because the name here should be the name of the page. I fully support changing the name (although not exactly to what Xizer picked) to something else and have stated so previously on Talk:Handheld game console. By making this comment, I'm hoping more people will say one way or the other on this matter on that talk page. If it is changed then it would be obvious to change this articles name as well to match.

  • Go on then, I could hardly not, considering what I started with the NPOV Nintendo DS article. Trip: The Light Fantastic 21:16, 26 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

article name with double-brackets surrounding it

Nominated [[ [July 31] ]]; needs 3 votes by [[ [August 7] ]] (minimum 3 votes per week)

Support:'WCW vs. nWo World Tour'

  1. [your user name--use 'n/a']

Comments:

  • [I added a lot to this article, I think too much. The complaints were that it had no context so I put in enough wrestling and video game context to choke a horse here, this is also my first Wikipedia rewrite and I realized how annoying it is to fix every little grammatical and spelling error so I'd love it if some cool people cleaned it up for me.]
