When a page is selected to be the "professional wrestling collaboration of the week", it's talk page will be tagged with {{Current-PWCOTW}}:

This is the current professional wrestling collaboration of the week! Please help to improve it to match the quality of an ideal Wikipedia professional wrestling article.

Former collaborations are tagged on their talk page with {{Current-PWCOTW|Former|Start date|End date}}. For example:

This article was the professional wrestling collaboration of the week between April 23 and April 29 2007 Please help to continue to improve it to match the quality of an ideal Wikipedia professional wrestling article.

[edit] Selecting the next PWCOTW

[edit] How it works

• Articles are kept as COTW until they reach a certain goal.
  • For "Wrestling legends" the goal is GA status.
  • For "Current wrestler" the goal is GA status.
  • For "Tag team" the goal is GA status.
  • For "Stub article" the goal is Start-Class or higher (any articles expanded fivefold will also be nominated for a Did you know appearance on Wikipedia's main page).
  • For "Pay-per-view" the goal is GA status.
  • For "Lists" the goal is WP:FL status.
  • If the nominated article is already a Good article, then the goal becomes FA status.

[edit] How to nominate

Guidelines

• A removed article can only be renominated after a second round of articles are chosen.
• You must be a registered user to nominate an article.
• If you have already nominated an article in the same section, all your existing nominations require at least three votes each for you to nominate a new article.
• Please only nominate or "vote" on articles that you plan to work on when they become COTW.

Considerations for nominations

• Giving reasons why an article should become the PWCOTW may convince others to support your nomination.
• Can the wider professional wrestling 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 short?
• A good place to look for articles that might be worthy of a nomination are the professional wrestling stubs and bio stubs.
• Articles that are already classed as good articles can be nominated; the goal for these articles will be to elevate them to featured article status. For a list of current good articles, see professional wrestling GA-Class articles.
• Consider renominating a past candidate for COTW which had strong support but didn't quite make the cut.
• Also consider nominating an article from our project's cleanup listing that has several cleanup banners.

[edit] 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 candidates as you like.

Any registered user is encouraged to vote so long as you abide by the policies of Wikipedia, specifically Wikipedia:Sock puppetry.

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 vote for a nomination, edit the nomination and add the following to the bottom of the Support section:

# ~~~~

This adds your username and a time stamp to the numbered list item. The vote will look like this:

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

If you wish to withdraw your vote, do not remove your vote; instead, add an asterisk and strike-through tags to your vote as shown:

#* <s>[[User:Username|Username]] 08:59, 1 July 2005 (UTC)</s>

This allows Wikipedia to correctly calculate the remaining votes and will appear like this:

1. Username2 08:39, 1 July 2005 (UTC)
   • Username 08:59, 1 July 2005 (UTC)
2. Username3 08:39, 2 July 2005 (UTC)

Note: We do not choose the article through consensus; we choose it through a majority voting system.

[edit] Ties

In the 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] Pruning

As voting comes to a close, any nominations that do not win will be removed. Removed nominations can only be renominated after a second round of articles are chosen.

[edit] Current nominations

• Please do not vote for articles you have no intention of working on.

• The old timer articles have been neglected for too long. Info for wrestlers of the last thirty years are plentiful on the internet. And I'd sooner refer to OWW or a MySpace page for info on an active wrestler then a Wiki-article. --Endlessdan and his problem 18:10, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

• Although reliable sources are provided, a cleanup I think's necessary here, and some extra detail could get added. D.M.N. (talk) 19:51, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
• Yes, Yokozuna deserves better. This article should be at least a B-Class.--WillC 19:54, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
  • Are you planning to help me work on it should this become the promoted one in the "Wrestling Legends" section. If not, then this vote should get struck. Again, I find this pointless unless people are actually willing to work with others on chosen articles if they chose to vote for it. D.M.N. (talk) 19:57, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
    • Yeah, I plan on working on anything elected. I've worked on the last few elected. I'll work on any article the most I can. Mainly clean up.--WillC 20:03, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

• Not really a legend but... Jobber and wrestling trainer and road agent. Should be easy to expand and find sources for. And it won't be bloated by week-by-week. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 15:34, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

• Not really a "wrestler", but an active personality. Needs major work. Bloated with week by week. Could use some better sources. Importance = high. Nikki311 04:17, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

• One of my favorite teams. Three-time WWF Tag Team Champions. The article needs some cleanup and sourcing. GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:37, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
• Having cleaned up Carl Ouellet a few weeks ago with a few sources (diff) this would be a good one to do. Slam! Sports has a few stories on the two, see the links at the bottom here. D.M.N. (talk) 08:43, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

I'd love to work on expanding the article and would appreciate some help with copyediting and replacing the CompleteWWE sources. GaryColemanFan (talk) 14:21, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

• It doesn't have many sources. It has a reference tag on it. A lot of questionable admissions. IPs edit the thing everyday. No telling how many times I've had to undo ips removing Rey Mysterio's name when I'm not even sure if he was in TNA. Should be improved.WillC 01:54, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
• More citation tags than I've ever seen. We should be able to at least cut the number in half. Nikki♥311 20:49, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
