Each week an Article of the week will be picked using this page. This is a specific topic which either has no article or a basic stub page, 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 in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. Anyone can nominate an article. There will be a vote each Thursday, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.

The current article of the week is Iranian revolution.

Previous winners can be found at /History.
Removed nominations can be found at /Removed.

Considerations

  • Please only nominate articles which don't currently exist or are stubs.
  • Giving reasons as to why an article should become the AOTW 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?

Candidates for Next Week

The next winner will be selected on Sunday 28 June, 18:00 (UTC).

Please vote for as many of the following options as you like. Please add only support votes, or comments. 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. The one nominated first wins in case of a tie.

Enter your votes by just inserting a new line with "# ~~~~" which will add your username and a time stamp in a new numbered list item.

Add your vote or comment

New nominations can be made at any time and should be added at the end. See the Talk page for discussions on how and when to prune old nominations.

  • Taxobox-only stub I created when making all of the family pages for Wikipedia:WikiProject Cephalopods. Would be a good article to get folks interested in the WikiProject, andwho can resist such an interestingly named creature! - UtherSRG
  • Google returns a very scant amount of information - this will be hard to research. On the flip side, this means that wikipedia could be the source for info on this rather interesting subject. Would be good for the "Did you know..." section of the main page. PlatinumX

Comments

  • At the moment it's a poorly written stub, but it's got the potential to be a really amazing article.
  • I think I've added enough that advertising agency is no longer a stub. It can be withdrawn from consideration if so.

  • This is an exciting and fruitful topic. It is a theory of cognition that aims to explain how humans are creative and in general how meaning is generated. I've added close to 50 links in the Talk section. These links taken together provide enough of a definitive base to write an accurate and comprehensive encyclopedic article. I currently have some finals and then projects left. So, I can't devote a lot of time. Even if this doesn't get chosen, please don't hesistate to draft an article. Within the Talk namespace, work on a draft here. Thanks -- Gyan 19:57, 7 May 2004 (UTC)- UPDATE: Now 2nd on Google search for 'Conceptual blending'.[reply]

  • Wikimedia is the sort of place (heh) that people want to sort lists of things that are written in different languages and scripts. Seems to me that the Unicode Collation Algorithm is the best candidate for helping with that process, and it is a new stub I just created according to my limited understanding of such things. Surely there are some multilingual experts out there?

  • This potentially interesting article presently is a redlink. Not only can the scientific cause by discussed - but cultural beliefs. From various religious beliefs to house-wife sayings such as "red sky at night sheperds delight, red sky in the morning sheperds mourning". Other artistic associations - The Scream should be discussed. Oldak Quill 20:24, 20 Jun 2004 (UTC)
