[edit source]Selection criteria
[edit source]Collaborations of the Month are selected by a simple majority vote from books nominated by registered Wikibooks editors. To become a Collaboration of the Month, a Wikibook must meet the following criteria:
- The Wikibook must have its basic project structure already in place. Preferably, it should also have a small, limited, amount of content already available.
- The Wikibook must concern a well-known subject. For instance, a Collaboration of the Month could not be over Liquid Crystal Display Dynamics.
- The Wikibook must not have been a Collaboration of the Month at any time in the past year.
If you believe a Wikibook meets the above criteria and want to nominate it as a Collaboration of the Month, do the following:
- Add {{CoMcandidate}} (see Wikibooks:Templates) to the top of the discussion page for the main page of the project.
- Click on the link within the template's box which reads its nomination sub-section. Then, under the Nominations section on the voting page for the next month type ===[[Articlename]]=== and add your reason for nomination below. Be sure to sign your reason with your signature by adding four tildes, ~~~~
Voting rules
[edit source]The following are the rules and conditions for voting for the Collaboration of the Month:
- Only registered users with 20 or more edits to their name may vote.
- You may vote under as many nominations as you wish, however, you may only vote for each book itself once.
- Sign your vote with a number sign and four tildes, #~~~~, after the most previous vote under the book's nomination. Unsigned votes will be removed.
- Any nomination which receives 3 or more votes in one month will automatically be renominated the next month if it is not chosen.
- If you wish to include a short comment for your vote, then you may do so. Make sure that if you leave such a comment, that you are also voting for that page.
- Do not post objection votes as these will have no effect on the final tally.
- Voting will end at 00:00 UTC on the first day of each month. In essence, when a new month begins voting ends. Any votes added after this time will be discarded.
- The nomination with most votes will be chosen as the Collaboration of the Month. In case of a tie, the older Wikibook will be chosen.
