This page is for discussion on what the WikiProject Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight should be. Anyone is free to contribute, but please don't nominate or support an option unless you are willing to help it improve if it is elected as the fortnight's collaboration. Anyone can nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles. Every second Tuesday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a fortnight to potential contributors.

Image:Wordballoon.png	The current Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight is Spider-Man. Every fortnight a different Comics-related topic is picked. Please read the nomination text and improve the article any way you can.
	The previous collaboration was Comics, to see how the article improved click here.

Inactive collaborations

Currently, it is believed the purpose of the collaboration should be to work up a comics-related article to featured article status. The articles should either be:

• on a major aspect of the medium
• the main article on a country's specific form
• a major character
• a major publisher
• a highly influential creator
• a major comic strip
• an influential work

We will also look at those articles felt to be near enough to featured article status already such that a collaboration is likely to bring it up to FA quality.

Selection

The collaborations are selected by approval voting.

Voting

If you support an article please vote, by clicking on edit by the article's title, and add a new line with the text # ~~~~. This will add your username and the time you signed automatically. Please add comments if you wish.

• Please only add support votes - opposing votes will not affect the result as the choice is done by approval voting (the most votes, wins).
• Please vote for as many candidates as you like.
• Only registered users may vote.
• Being a member of WikiProject Comics is not a requirement to vote!

Tie-breakers

To keep things simple, if two or more articles have both had the same number of votes by the selection time, the article nominated first is chosen as COTF.

Making Nominations

• At the top of the list of nominees on this page, enter the text {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/COMICSCOTF/name of nominated article}}.
• Click on the appropriate link in the new message box.
• Enter the text === [[name of nominated article]] ===.
• Enter your reason for the nomination, and sign it using ~~~~.

In addition to the above steps please add the text {{COMICSCOTFC}} at the top of the article's talk page.

Chosen Candidate

When a candidate is chosen, the template {{COMICSCOTFNow}} will be added at the top of the article's page, and the name of the article is entered into the template {{COMICSCOTF article}}.

Discussion should then begin upon the winning article's talk page in a new section headed ==Collaboration of the Fortnight==.

This is to allow the development of goals for the article at the beginning of the collaboration fortnight and could lead to the addition of a To-do list, thus presenting a clear overview of the work required. This would also permit the needed improvements remaining on display upon the talk page if the collaboration does not achieve everthing in the two weeks allowed.

Considerations

• Please only nominate Comics-related articles which are near enough to featured article status already such that a collaboration is likely to bring it up to FA quality.
• Giving reasons to why an article should be chosen will aid others in supporting.

Archiving

If a nomination does not receive enough votes (three votes for every month it is nominated) it will be archived.
