日本関係の今週の記事へようこそ! Thank you for your visit to Wikipedia:Japanese Collaboration of the Week!

Each week a Japanese Collaboration of the Week 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 Japan, the aim being to have a featured-standard article by the end of the week, from widespread cooperative editing.

The project aims to fill gaps about Japan in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. You can find a list of Japanse articles on the Todo list on the Japanese Wikipedians' noticeboard (a full list can be found at the complete Todo list. 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 Japanese Collaboration of the Week is Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.

Also /Current Japanese COTW is updated.

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

Selecting the next Collaboration of the Week

The next winner will be selected on Sunday, 23 October 2005 edit いれかえ 0:00 (UTC)

Voting

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 Japanese.

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.

Tie-breakers

In case of a tie, voting will be extended for 24 hours. If there is still a tie, the candidate that was nominated first wins.

Nominations

New nominations can be made at any time and should be added at the end of this page. Please use the template.

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

This article has been nominated as a possible Japanese Collaboration of the Week. To add your support, go to its listing.
この記事は強化記事(日本関連)の候補に推薦されています。この記事を強化記事にすることに賛成の方は、この記事に投票してください

If the article is selected as the JCOTW, the template {{Current Japanese COTW}} should go at the top of the article page. This expands to:

This is the current Japanese collaboration of the week! Please help improve it to featured article standard.

Considerations for nominations

  • Please only nominate Japanese articles which don't currently exist or are stubs. (Two paragraphs or less of information or fewer than 1,000 characters – also try) If you have an article that is not related to Japan please use Collaboration of the Week, which is not specific to Japan-related articles.
  • Giving reasons as to why an article should become the JCOTW 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?

Pruning

Nominations will be moved to /Removed if it has not received any votes in the first week (7 days) of being nominated (excluding the person who nominated it). If a nomination has been untouched (unvoted & uncommented) for over two weeks (14 days), it shall be likewise pruned. If a candidate has no vote, its nominator may withdraw his nomination. Feel free to perform pruning that meets the above criteria. Please see the talk page for discussion of this change in pruning policy.

Candidates for next week

Japanese snack food

  1. Great article candidate, lots of possibilities for expansion beyond just the List of Japanese snack foods (which is a great start!) CES 22:15, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Housing in Japan

In Wikipedia talk:Japan-related topics notice board I wrote, "Danny Wilde has posted a new article, washitsu. It occurs to me that this, together with shoji and tatami, would make good sections if merged into a larger article, with a title like "Housing in Japan." It could contain traditional and modern; free-standing, apartment, condominium, student lodgings and college and company dorms; city, country; building materials (tile roofs, concrete and wood, floor covering, ceilings); government statistics on floor space; rooms (e.g. washitsu, the bathroom complex --- including of course a link to Japanese toilet); appliances (refrigerators, gas stoves, fish broilers, lack of ovens, space heaters/air conditioners, intercoms); parents and barrier-free tendency; and much more. This has the scope to become a featured article. Fg2 02:37, 9 October 2005 (UTC)"

So far, MC MasterChef has expressed support and posted several external links. Even if it doesn't become a Collaboration of the Week, anyone can pitch in. Until an article gets started (and gets a Discussion page), discussion is at Wikipedia talk:Japan-related topics notice board#Housing in Japan. Fg2 07:42, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

  • As Fg2 mentioned, I'd like to support this; I'm not really sure where to begin beyond the links that I found and am a little busy with other projects at the moment, but if other people are willing to work on it (how many people participate in this CotW, these days?), I'll do my best to contribute.
