{{historical}}
This Collaboration of the Fortnight is intended to work on essential topics that would go in a release version of Wikipedia. We no longer manage one article a fortnight; the interval is normally around a month per article.
We started with articles listed at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Core topics and Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Core topics/Supplement; we are willing now to consider other major topics such as those listed at WP:VA.
Only approval votes count. Nominations can be removed after one month if they are not seconded.
The most recent COTF was {{CoreCOTW article}}, from August to September 2008.
Please vote only if you expect to work on the article.
