Each week a Quebec Collaboration of the Week will be picked using this page. This is a Quebec-related topic which either has no article or a basic stub page, the aim being to have a decent (i.e. Unstubbed and fairly comprehensive) article by the end of the week, from widespread cooperative editing.

[edit] Selecting the next Collaboration of the Week

[edit] Voting

  • Please limit your vote to no more than one or two at any given time. Being so few, we can't afford to have everybody vote for each nomination.
  • Only registered users should vote.
  • 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.
  • A vote will be taken to include a pledge that the voter will contribute to the article if it is selected. Voters will be reminded with {{QCOTW reminder}}, which looks like

[edit] Reminder: {{{article}}}

{{{article}}}, an article you have voted on, has been chosen as Quebec Collaboration of the Week.

  • 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).

[edit] Tie-breakers

  • In case of a tie, the candidate that was nominated first wins.

[edit] Nominations

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

[edit] Considerations for nominations

  • Please only nominate articles that do not exist, are stubs (2 paragraphs or less than 1000 characters) or simply way too short to ever be considered comprehensive.
  • You can also nominate an article from the French Wikipedia for translation instead.
  • Please give your reason for nominating the article.

[edit] Pruning

  • The nomination will be moved to /Removed if it has not received 2 votes (not including the nominator) after 7 days on the list, 4 votes after 14 days, 6 votes after 21 days, and so on, or it has not been choosed for 3 consecutive weeks.

[edit] Candidates for next week

If an article wins, please add {{QCOTWnow}} to the top of the article, which will show up as:

  • A group of mountains with a fascinating geology. The name is etymology to Montérégie. Circeus 19:20, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

  1. User:Red Star I'm not old enough to have watched it a lot, but I remember the beginning scared me when I was very young.
What was it that scared you ?--Marc pasquin 02:38, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Nothing in particular I think, or maybe it was the music.


Comments:

  • A whole generation (actually, my generation) grew up with this childrem program, a major (if odd) element of quebec culture comparable to English Sesame Street. Circeus 19:20, Apr 17, 2005 (UTC)

I've put some of what I could remember (from 25 years ago). Check and see if you can confirm, contradict or embellish anything.--Marc pasquin 02:38, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] History of Quebec City

Nominated April 26, 2005

Support:

  1. Circeus 01:52, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
  2. Beltz 07:45, May 28, 2005

Comments:

  • About time we get down to this one. Circeus 01:52, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • Before we get to popular culture and recent historical happenings, I think it would be good to write down the critically important aspects of our history. The history of Quebec City would be a great start, with a lot of potential if we put enough effort. We also have enough material to make it a featured article if we really want. Beltz 07:35, May 28, 2005

[edit] Parlement Jeunesse du Québec

Nominated April 27, 2006; needs 3 votes by May 5, 2006

Support:

  1. Fluit 01:30, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

  • I've tried to get this article started, but as most of the resources I found are in french (in which I have little proficiency), and given that I'm nowhere near Quebec, it might be helpful if some Quebec based editors took a stab at improving it. Fluit 01:30, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
