===[[The Call of Cthulhu]]===

''[[The Call of Cthulhu]]'' is possibly [[H. P. Lovecraft]]'s most famous tale and it is shameful that it lingers in the C- to B-Class range. It would be a solid goal to not only raise this to GA- or A-Class, but even FA-Class. <span style="font-family:CarbonType,American Typewriter,Bookman Old Style,Courier;">'''[[User:Hornoir|hornoir]]'''</span> <span style="font-family:CarbonType,American Typewriter,Bookman Old Style,Courier;">([[User talk:Hornoir|talk]])</span> 01:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

===[[Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III]]===

Article has a lot of problems, but it's actually one of the favorites in the series among fans. It virtually need to be built from the ground up. I do have the unrated DVD with the director commentary and a "Making of" documentary. I can also help with my university account for off-line sources.

'''Comments'''

===[[Alien 3]]===

The first two in this series are GA articles, so it would be nice to get another one at least up to GA. I have the quadrilogy box set, with all the commentaries and behind-the-scenes extras I could go through.

===[[Silent Hill (franchise)]]===

I figured we could try our hands at something a little out of the norm, a video game article. ''Silent Hill'' is probably one of the most popular zombie video game franchises, next to ''Resident Evil''. It could use a good franchise article. I know little about video game articles, but I'm sure there are some we could use for examples.

Revision as of 22:11, 6 December 2010

Welcome to the WikiProject Horror Collaboration of the Month! This effort seeks to identify articles within the genre of horror that require improvement. Every month, a single article will be selected as the collaboration, and everyone will work to improve it as much as possible.

Nominating articles

To nominate an article, add

===[[Name of article]]===

Nomination text. ~~~~

'''Support'''
# ~~~~

'''Comments'''

at the bottom of the list of candidates, filling in the name of the article and the nomination text (which should indicate why the article would benefit from a collaboration and what needs to be improved). It is recommended that specific goals be given for new collaborations, such as "promoting to GA status", to help direct the efforts of contributors.

Please remember to add collaboration-candidate=yes to the {{HorrorWikiProject}} project banner at the top of the article's talk page (see the Project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax).

Stalled nominations

Nominations which have "stalled" through lack of support are listed at: Wikipedia:WikiProject Horror/Collaboration/Stalled. Stalled nominations are those which have received no more than two votes of support (including the original nomination) during their first six months on the candidates list. Should a stalled nomination receive a third vote of support, its listing should return to the list of active candidates below as it may have sufficient community interest to be selected.

Maintenance

At the beginning of every month, a new collaboration article should be selected. This should generally be the candidate with the most support (and the oldest candidate in case of a tie).

To archive the current collaboration
  1. Remove {{HCOTM}} from the top of the current collaboration article.
  2. Change the date details on the article talk page past-collaboration=<start date>–<end date> in the {{HorrorWikiProject}} project banner to include the end date.
  3. Add the current article to the bottom of the history section.
  4. Move the current article's nomination text to the archive.
To select the new collaboration
  1. Add {{HCOTM}} to the top of the new article.
  2. Move the new article's nomination text to the "Current collaboration" section.
  3. Update Wikipedia:WikiProject Horror/Collaboration/Current to point to the new article.
  4. Replace collaboration-candidate=yes with past-collaboration=<start date>–<end date> in the {{HorrorWikiProject}} banner at the top of the new article's talk page. The "<end-date>" element should read "open" to start with.
Notify other members of the WikiProject
  1. Add {{subst:Wikipedia:WikiProject Horror/Collaboration/Notice}} ~~~~ to the talk pages of users who supported the new article; do this only after Wikipedia:WikiProject Horror/Collaboration/Current has been updated to reflect the new selection.
  2. Add a post on the Notice Board advertising the new collaboration to project members.
  3. Notify any relevant task forces of the current collaboration.
