Each month a Science Collaboration of the Month will be picked using this page. The aim is to feature an article by the end of the month using widespread cooperative editing. For a discussion on the correct format of science articles, please see WikiProject Science.
| Carbon is the current science collaboration of the month. Please help improve this article to featured article standard. Last month's collaboration was Surface science - See improvements. |
Stuck for nominees? Take a look at Science stubs or Requested articles in Applied sciences or Natural Sciences. Also check the /History, AID History and COTW History for articles that may have failed previously but are worthy of re-nomination, and Unreferenced Good Articles for articles that need citation work in particular.
The project aims to fill gaps in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. Any registered user can nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles. Every Tuesday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.
If you want to participate in this project, you may add {{user scienceCOTM}} to your user page which will unfold to

If there are more than five articles (5) candidates, nominations must get two votes every seven days to stay alive. Previous successful collaborations and unsuccessful nominations will be pruned and sent to /History. The first nomination to be pruned will be that which has the lowest number of votes among the expired nominees.
Users can add support for more than one nomination at a time. Users can only vote once for each nomination.
Collaborations will be selected every month by whichever one has the most votes. In the event of a tie, the earlier nomination wins.
The science collaboration of the month was originally started by Litefantastic on November 26, 2004. However, before an article could be selected, the project was unluckily deserted due to a lack of candidates and participants. On July 6, 2005, Toothpaste resurrected this project and the first collaboration was selected on July 20, 2005. A collaboration was selected approximately every week until June 28, 2006, when the collaboration became a monthly event with the aim of producing higher quality science articles.
New nominations can be made at any time and should be added at the end of this page. If the page you are nominating already exists, please add {{SCOTW}} to the top of the article's talk page.
To add a new nomination, please:
