Wikipedia:Magic Collaboration of the Week

Since magic is a specific field, which a lot of people are not be knowledgeable about, magic articles are not likely to receive attention at the other Collaboration of the Week projects.

This project aims to fill gaps about the magic in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. You can find a list of magic-related articles on the project page. Anyone can nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles. Every Sunday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.

The current Magic Collaboration of the Week is Ambitious card

All those who are interested are cordially invited to help improve this article. If you are not interested in this article, the template will update each week to keep you informed as to the current MCOTW article.

• Previous winners that have gone on to become featured articles can be found at /Features.
  
• Previous winners can be found at /History
• Removed nominations can be found at /Removed

Each week a Magic Collaboration of the Week will be picked using this page. This is a specific topic which either has no article, a basic stub page, or an existing article requiring expansion and cleanup. Articles must be directly related to Magic, the aim being to have a featured-standard article by the end of the week, from widespread cooperative editing.

Selecting the next Collaboration of the Week

The next winner will be selected on Sunday, December 29, 2013 at 23:00 (UTC). --Bddmagic (talk) 15:09, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

Our next action has been extended for a little while.....in an attempt to continue to improve Indian magicians(and hopefully, bring it up to GA status). --Bddmagic (talk) 01:58, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

If the page you are nominating already exists, please add {{Magic COTW candidate|Thispage=Article name}} to the top of its talk page. This expands to:

This article has been nominated as a possible Magic Collaboration of the Week. To add your support, go to its listing.

Considerations for nominations

• Please only nominate magic articles which:
  • don't currently exist
  • are stubs.
  • or exist but require expanding and cleanup

• If you have an article that is not related to magic please use Collaboration of the Week, which is not specific to any subject.

• For non-stubs, submitting the article to cleanup, peer review, or requests for expansion may also be appropriate.

• Giving reasons as to why an article should become the MCOTW will help others in casting their votes.

• This article is in pretty good shape right now....it could just use a bit of tweaking.

For the moment, we'll leave Indian magicians up so I can add a few bits and baubbles here and there. From there, we'll probably go to Ambitious card.--Bddmagic (talk) 01:56, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

So...done deal....this is promoted to current collab. --Bddmagic (talk) 16:59, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

I'll leave this here for a few days.--Bddmagic (talk) 17:08, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Wow....this page is dead!!--Bddmagic (talk) 19:18, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
