This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Fuhghettaboutit (talk | contribs) at 10:21, 7 May 2006 (add to "inspiration material"; seems biased against books but I can't find any lists of categories for horror specific books (maybe that's an issue we should work on)).

Welcome to WikiProject Horror's collaboration of the month! Each month, a single horror-related article will be nominated using this page to become the horror collaboration of the month (HCOTM).

The aim of this project is to take an undeveloped or underdeveloped horror-related article and drastically improve it, ideally to elevate it to good or featured level status, through widespread cooperative editing. When the current HCOTM article's month long improvement period expires, articles nominated here receiving the most support votes will be selected for the next collaboration. Any editor, registered or not, can help the collaboration by contributing to the selected article.


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

Nominating articles

Any horror-related article except for those that are current featured articles, featured article candidates, good articles and good article candidates are acceptable. Please note that anyone is free to remove a nomination that fails to meet these requirements. New nominations can be made at any time.


To nominate an article, add

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

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).

Selection process

  • The collaborations are selected by approval voting. This is done by clicking the edit button to the right of the article's nomination, and adding the text # ~~~~.
  • Only registered users may vote, and their first edit must have been before the article was nominated. Please register first if you wish to nominate an article.
  • 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).
  • A vote or a show of support for an article shows your commitment to support and aid in collaborating on that specific article if it is chosen. Although you are not required to fulfill that commitment, we ask that you only support articles that you are able to contribute to so that this collaboration's goals of expanding and improving articles can adequately be achieved.
  • Do not vote for all of the nominations. If you do, your votes will be discounted, as people can't expect you to work on all of them.
  • The article with the most votes at selection time will become the next HCOTM.
  • Articles that fail to receive 3 votes per two weeks from the time of nomination will be removed from this page.
  • If you're thinking of renominating an article which has recently failed, consider waiting a month before renominating it.
