| |
| == Rules and procedure ==
| |
| === Nomination ===
| |
| * To nominate an article, simply create a new row at the bottom of the [[#Current nominees|current nominees]] list. Use the {{tl|AOTW row}} template. Then alphabetize your nomination, making sure it is not placed above nominees with more votes than your nominee.
| |
| * The article's status must be 0 or 1, i.e., only "Advanced Articles" may be nominated.
| |
| * Any Citizen may nominate an article.
| |
| * No Citizen may have nominated more than one article listed under "current nominees" at a time.
| |
| * The article's nominator is indicated simply by the first name in the list of votes (see below).
| |
| * At least for now--while the project is still small--you may nominate and vote for articles of which you are a main author.
| |
| * An article can be Article of the Week only once every six months. Nominated articles that have won top honors should be removed from the list.
| |
| * Comments on nominations should be made on the article's talk page.
| |
|
| |
| === Voting ===
| |
| * To vote, simply add your name and date next to an article title, after other nominations in the "Supporters" area, by signing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> (''four'' tildes). (The date is necessary so that we can determine when the last vote was added.)
| |
| * You may vote for as many articles as you wish, and each vote counts separately, but you can only nominate one at a time; see above. You could, theoretically, vote for every nominated article on the page.
| |
| * Add your name in the "Specialist supporters" column only if you are an editor who is an expert about the topic in question. Your vote will be counted as three.
| |
|
| |
| === Ranking ===
| |
| * Nominations are listed by number of votes first, then alphabetically.
| |
| * Admins should make sure the votes are correctly tallied, but anyone may do this. Note that "Specialist Votes" are worth three.
| |
|
| |
| === Deleting ===
| |
| * If the list of nominees should be kept to 20 (or some similar reasonable number). Nominees that have very few supporters and which have not garnered any new supporters in the last, say, two weeks may be deleted to make room for new nominees. (We'll have to solidify this rule.)
| |
| * Any editor may, simply by editing the nomination list (or [[CZ talk:Article of the Week|the talk page]]), entirely cancel the nomination of any ''unapproved'' article in his or her area of expertise (if, for example, it contains obvious and embarrassing problems).
| |
|
| |
| === Choosing the weekly winner ===
| |
| * Each Tuesday (at 7 PM UTC; 2 PM EST; 11 AM PST; 4 AM Sydney), one of the program admins--the first one who has the honor--moves the article that is at the top of the list (i.e., the one with the most votes) to the front page, announces the winner on Citizendium-L and updates the "previous winning articles" section accordingly.
| |
| * If you are volunteering to change the article of the week on the front page, then say so above the "article nominees" table ("I'm doing the honors this time" -- Jane Doe) so that no one else does it.
| |
| * If an article has not been approved yet, the article of the week is re-labelled "Draft of the Week." Be sure to pay attention to this!
| |
| * When updating the main page, be sure to change the [more...] link at the bottom to match the new article as well.
| |
|
| |
| ====In the event of a tie====
| |
| ''Where two or more articles have achieved an equal number of votes, the following procedure shall be used to break the deadlock:''
| |
| * '''Number of specialist supporters''': the article with most specialist supporters goes through.
| |
|
| |
| ''Should this fail to produce a winner:''
| |
| * '''Alphabetical order''': The article appearing first by English alphabetical order shall be named Article of the Week.
| |
| * The remaining winning articles are guaranteed this position in the following weeks, again in alphabetical order. No further voting would take place on these, which remain at the top of the table with notices to that effect.
| |
| * Further nominations and voting take place to determine future winning articles for the following weeks.
| |
|
| |
| ===Adding the Article of the Week to the home page===
| |
| To add the winning article to the home page, replace the entire contents of [[CZ:Article_of_the_Week/current]] with the first paragraphs of the new article.
| |
|
| |
| Some changes will need to be made to the text which is copied:
| |
| *The first instance for the word which the article is about, which is normally in bold, should be linked to the main article.
| |
| *Any headings will need to be reduced by two sizes - add two extra = signs before and after each heading.
| |
| *Infoboxes must be removed, and images may need to be reduced in size.
| |
|
| |
| == Administrators ==
| |
|
| |
| These are people who have volunteered to run this program. Their duties are (1) to ensure that this page remains "clean," e.g., as a given article garners more votes, its tally is accurately represented and it moves up the list, and (2) to place the winning article on the front page on a weekly basis.
| |
| To become an administrator, you need not apply anywhere. Simply add your name below. Administrator duties are open to editors and authors alike.
