The Westing Game

[edit]

A Newbery-medal winning book, it deserves a better article than the unsourced, no plot one it has now. It is in desperate need of cleanup. There are very few members who are working on the article. Glimmer721 talk 16:53, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Archives
Stalled nominations

Nominations which have "stalled" through lack of support are listed at: Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Collaboration/Stalled. Stalled nominations are those which have received no more than two votes of support (including the original nomination) during their first six months on the candidates list. Should a stalled nomination receive a third vote of support, its listing should return to the list of active candidates below as it may have sufficient community interest to be selected.

Maintenance

[edit]

At the beginning of every month, a new collaboration article should be selected. This should generally be the candidate with the most support (and the oldest candidate in case of a tie).

To archive the current collaboration
  1. Remove {{NovelsWikiProject Collaboration}} from the top of the current collaboration article.
  2. Change the date details on the article talk page past-collaboration=<start date>–<end date> in the {{NovelsWikiProject}} project banner to include the end date.
  3. Add the current article to the bottom of the history section.
  4. Move the current article's nomination text to the archive.
To select the new collaboration
  1. Add {{NovelsWikiProject Collaboration}} to the top of the new article.
  2. Move the new article's nomination text to the "Current collaboration" section.
  3. Update Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Collaboration/Current to point to the new article.
  4. Update Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Collaboration/NextDate to use the next vote date.
  5. Replace collaboration-candidate=yes with past-collaboration=<start date>–<end date> in the {{NovelsWikiProject}} banner at the top of the new article's talk page. The "<end-date>" element should read "open" to start with.
Notify other members of the WikiProject
  1. Add {{subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Collaboration/Notice|Name of article}} ~~~~ to the talk pages of users who supported the new article.
  2. Add a post on the GeneralForum advertising the new collaboration to project members.
  3. Notify any relevant task forces of the current collaboration.
  4. Notify regular contributors of the new collaboration of the month.
