The UK Collaboration of the Fortnight was an article chosen each fortnight. This is a specific topic which either has no article or a basic stub page that is directly related to the United Kingdom, the aim being to have a featured- standard article by the end of the fortnight, from widespread cooperative editing. The collaboration was active from October 2004 to August 2005.
The project aimed to fill gaps about the UK in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. You can find a list of UK articles on the todo list on the UK Wikipedians' notice board or you can look in List of United Kingdom-related topics or the UK Wikipedians' complete to do list. Anyone could nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles. Every other Sunday, the votes were tallied, and the winner promoted for a week to potential contributors.
The next COTF will be selected at a date to be determined if the collaboration becomes active once more (the current time is 18:10, August 2, 2024).
If you support an article please vote, by clicking on 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.
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.
