Every month, a New Zealand collaboration (NZC) 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 New Zealand, the aim being to have a much improved article by the end of the period, from widespread cooperative editing.

The project aims to fill gaps about New Zealand in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. There is a list of requested articles at WikiProject New Zealand.

The selected collaboration is the nomination with the most votes, and at least four votes, at the beginning of the month.

All previous collaborations can be found at /History.
Removed nominations can be found at /Removed.

The current New Zealand collaboration is None.
Every month a different New Zealand-related topic, stub or non-existent article is picked.
Please read the nomination text and improve the article any way you can.

Current Collaboration

edit

2011 Rugby World Cup is a topic of interest in August 2011. There is a sizable article already and no doubt the games themselves will get plenty of attention. But the sections about the lead-up to the tournament could do with some work.

Selecting the next Collaboration

edit

Voting

edit

Please vote for as many of the following candidates as you like. 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).

Only registered users should vote. Any Wikipedian can vote on this page. You do not have to be a New Zealander. However, if you support a nomination you are expected to contribute to the article if it is selected as the current collaboration.

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.

Nominations

edit

New nominations can be made at any time and should be added at the end of this page. If the page you are nominating already exists, please add {{New Zealand collaboration candidate}} to the top of its talk page. This expands to:

WikiProject New Zealand/Collaboration is a candidate to be the
New Zealand collaboration of the month.
Please comment on the nomination.
 


Considerations for nominations

edit
  • Please only nominate New Zealand articles which don't currently exist or need serious work. – also see New Zealand stubs). If you have an article that is not related to New Zealand please use Collaboration of the Week, which is not specific to New Zealand articles.
  • Giving reasons as to why an article should become the New Zealand collaboration may assist others in casting their vote.
  • Can the wider community easily contribute to the article? Or is it something only a small number of people will know about?
  • Check /Removed. If the topic has failed in nomination within a month, then do not re-nominate it.

Selection

edit

If the article is selected as the collaboration, enter the article's complete title at Template:Collab-NZ. The template {{Current New Zealand collaboration}} should then be placed at the top of the selected article's talk page. This expands to:

This is the current New Zealand collaboration! Please help improve it to featured article standard.


When the article is no longer the current collaboration, please add the following template to the talk page: {{past NZC|start date|end date|year}}

Pruning

edit

Nominations will be moved to /Removed if they do not receive at least four votes within a few months of being nominated. Items may also be removed if they are inappropriate for nomination (see Considerations... above). Please see the talk page to discuss to changes in pruning policy.

Candidates for next New Zealand collaboration

edit

New Zealand National Party

edit

Lacking behind New Zealand Labour Party, and I feel they should be promoted alongside each other.

  1. as nominator kiwiteen123 (talk) 02:59, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support, although I agree with Stuartyeates that the articles on Labour and National are of similar quality at present. Both could do with significantly better sourcing.-gadfium 06:33, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Weak oppose, per Stuartyeates. It's probably worth noting that several NZ political party articles could do with improvement, though - maybe this nom should be expanded to include all of them? Grutness...wha? 01:03, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of political parties in New Zealand

edit

Many pages need lengthening or improvement.

  1. as nominator Kiwiteen123 (talk) 23:28, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support - not so much work on the list itself, as work on the articles of the parties listed. Grutness...wha? 01:04, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kiwiana

edit

Top importance yet only start class. Some more references and images are needed.

  1. Support as nominator Adabow (talk) 22:25, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Support - agree with preceding comment. Needs pruning and re-organising.TreeReader (talk) 08:07, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A stub in need of expansion. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 05:59, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Waitangi Day

I passed it as a C-class, but it has potential to be much better than it currently is. Adabow (talk) 09:39, 5 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
