This Wikipedia page is currently inactive and is kept primarily for historical interest. If you want to revive discussion regarding the subject, you should ask for broader input, for instance at the village pump.

Shortcut: WP:ZHCOTW

Each week a China Collaboration of the Week will be picked using this page. This is a specific topic which either has no article or a basic stub page that is directly related to the China, the aim being to have a featured-standard article by the end of the week, from widespread cooperative editing.

The project aims to fill gaps about the China in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. You can find a list of China articles on the Todo list on the China-related topics noticeboard or you can look in List of China-related topics or the China-related topics complete to do list. Anyone can nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles. Every Sunday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.

You can see a list of current featured articles on China subjects here.

[edit] Selecting the next Collaboration of the Week

The next winner will be selected on Sunday, 21 November, 18:00 (UTC).

[edit] Voting

Please vote for as many of the following candidates as you like. The winner for next week is determined by whichever candidate at the end of the week has the most votes after oppose votes have been subtracted from support votes. Only add oppose votes if you have a serious objection—which you must explain rather than just voting "oppose"—to the article being a Colloboration of the Week at all, rather than merely preferring another article to be the Collaboration of the Week.

Only registered users should vote. Any Wikipedian can vote on this page. You do not have to be from China!!!

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.

[edit] 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.

[edit] Nominations

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

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

This is a candidate for China Collaboration of the week. Please visit that page to support or comment on the nomination.

[edit] Considerations for nominations

• Please only nominate China-related articles which don't currently exist or are stubs. (Two paragraphs or less of information or fewer than 1,000 characters). If you have an article that is not related to China please use Collaboration of the Week, which is not specific to China articles.
• For non-stubs, submitting the article to pages needing attention, cleanup, peer review, or requests for expansion may be more appropriate.
• Giving reasons as to why an article should become the ZHCOTW may assist others in casting their vote.

[edit] Pruning

The nomination will be moved to /Removed if it has not received 3 votes after 7 days on the list, 6 votes after 14 days, 9 votes after 21 days, and so on.

The dates above each nomination may appear to be random, but they are the target date by which that target figure needs to be achieved. This needs to be raised each time an article's votes reach the previous target. This avoids users who are new to the system from thinking that an article doesn't need any further votes because it has reached its weekly target.

• There is a very well written, very informative Public Domain text at Library of Congress Country Studies dealing with Sino-Indian relations... I am going to wikify this text and include it under this name. Even though this may be percieved as going against COTW I feel it'd be stupid to not do so. We may decide to not have this topic as the COTW (remove your vote); or it maybe nice to have our first COTW developing an already-existing article. --[[User:OldakQuill|Oldak Quill]] 16:26, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
• There is a current NPOV dispute at the related Sino-Indian War, which is now protected. You are invited to have a look and contribute on the relevant talk page. Thanks. olivier 08:57, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

1. I'm a little skeptical about this, for the reason that I am concerned about us getting to the point that we have a Sino-xx articles for every country in the world. I am 100% behind articles like Sino-Indian, Sino-Korean, Sino-Japanese, Sino-Vietnamese, Sino-American, and Sino-Pakistani relations: these articles make sense because China has had a very long history of dealing with these nations and there's lots to say. With Sino-Afghan relations though, I'm skeptical: the two countries barely even share a border and I'm not sure there's enough of a historical relationship to justify an article. This is kind of a borderline case (sorry, couldn't resist making that bad pun, but I am serious about what I said above). —Lowellian (talk)[[]] 04:12, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)

I disagree. Take a look at [1][2][3][4][5]. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality/^talk]] 06:41, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

• I really think what looks like to be an article dealing with Tibet and CPC relations should be better termed, one suggestion would be the Political status of Tibet. If an article is to be created about Sino-Tibetan relations, it should be in a strict historical sense before it became part of the PRC. [[User:Colipon|Colipon+(T)]] 23:27, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Excellent suggestion. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality/^talk]] 01:29, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
  • Should the article title be changed then? [[User:Colipon|Colipon+(T)]] 04:13, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • we need to coordinate what's at the Tibet resistance movement, Tibet independence movement, and Free Tibet movement articles. --Jiang 09:55, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
