Wikitravel:Collaboration of the week
From Wikitravel
Jump to: navigation, search
Contents
The Collaboration of the Week is an opportunity to highlight a specific Wikitravel article that needs improvement in some way. While anyone can edit any article at any time, the Collaboration of the Week provides a way to highlight a single article allowing many contributors to help improve it together.
[edit] Current
[edit] 12 March - 18 March
Disneyland Paris
This article is currently usable. I think with the addition of maps and pictures it could be pushed up to guide or star.
Make it flow with the layout of the Disneyland and Walt Disney World articles.
We need a picture of the Walt Disney Studio Park.
Three maps: the entire Disneyland Paris Resort, Disneyland Park, and Walt Disney Studios.
Make the See and Do lists more diverse, and emphasize that there are two parks.
Most importantly, make it a guide article, if not star.
[edit] Upcoming
[edit] 19 March - 25 March
The high-level travel topic for Euro 2008 could use help too. It's currently written from a Swiss point of view and needs Austrian info to provide balance, mainly in the following sections: Get in, Get around, Buy, Do, Stay safe, Get out.
- WTDuck2 16:22, 21 January 2008 (EST)
- Two and a half months to go, about time we get this one in order --Nick 04:51, 11 March 2008 (EDT)
[edit] 26 March - 1 April
One of 8 host cities for Euro 2008 in June/July 2008 - need to get into tip top shape by then.
Get in and get around could do with more info.
Need some listings in the eat and drink, and more in the sleep (currently there is one campsite.)
There seems to be more info in - it might be the same, but if not we can add it to the english guide.
Convert to listings, which will fix MoS problems.
Put more info in get out
A map would be great, as would a few more descriptive photos of the city.
Basic information about the town would be useful for those of us who like to know a tiny bit about the town before we visit it, i.e. what's so special about Innsbruck in the first place? The fact that it's the fifth largest city in Austria doesn't make me want to visit!
[edit] 2 April - 8 April
One of 8 host cities for Euro 2008 in June/July 2008 - need to get into tip top shape by then.
Convert to listings, in order to get the guide to fit the MoS.
Stay safe section could do with main points being boldened.
A map would be really useful.
[edit] 9 April - 15 April
One of 8 host cities for Euro 2008 in June/July 2008 - need to get into tip top shape by then.
Convert to listings, to get a uniform style.
Need addresses, phone numbers and websites (if poss) for drink section.
Need more sleep listings
Need some info in cope and contact
Put details of destinations in get out and rough travel times to them.
Find some more photos

[edit] Nominating
You can nominate an article you would like to see as Collaboration of the week. Please follow the following guidelines.
The nominated article should have an article status of usable. The idea is that a usable article is more likely to have sufficient stuff for people to whip into shape. Many articles listed in Articles needing attention fall in this category.
You should mention at least five (5) ways in which to improve the article. This requirement will provide a roadmap for the effort and act as a barrier to nominating something that can be easily fixed. Some things you could suggest:
manual of style cleanup;
missing maps or photographs;
needs to be split into districts;
some major attractions that are missing; or
some sections which need more entries.
The destination should be interesting in some way. A destination that needs to get ready for an upcoming event will get preference. Other things that might make it interesting include:
it is popular with tourists;
it is earth shatteringly beautiful;
it is in a region with comparatively poor Wikitravel coverage (eg Africa); or
it is in a region from which there have been comparatively few Previous Destinations of the month.
Where possible, provide links to some reliable third party sites for researchers to use (such as the official local tourism site).
If an article meets the criteria above, add it to the "Upcoming" queue. There is no need for a discussion to select an article just for a week. Displace another article only if your nominee has to get into shape for something that can't wait. In that case, move everything in the queue down by one place. If it does not meet the other two criteria, feel free to simply replace the article.
Don't let the "Upcoming" queue have more than four articles.
Do not displace the current article after the week has started.
Please sign all nominations with your name (wiki markup: ~~~~)
[edit] Unscheduled nominations
Harbin
A good article that has been nominated for Destination of the month. To meet the criteria it needs a general work over. WindHorse 12:15, 14 June 2007 (EDT)
Kathmandu
A major stop for travelers in South Asia. Currently, the article has lots of info, even a map, but needs some effort to tighten and pull it into shape. WindHorse 23:39, 25 June 2007 (EDT)
Edmonton
A ton of great information that's strong in ways a lot of articles are weak (especially a terrific range of restaurants), but the sections aren't MoS and it's a bit disorganized. Listings are almost all incomplete. Could be a strong guide with some help. Gorilla Jones 20:05, 25 June 2007 (EDT)
Tombstone
Major American tourist destination, possibly the capital of Wild West cowboy kitsch, and it's only an outline. Surely we can shoot this one out. Gorilla Jones 20:08, 25 June 2007 (EDT)
Klagenfurt -- -- Tim (writeme!) 14:54, 1 July 2007 (EDT)
One of 8 host cities for Euro 2008 in June/July 2008 - need to get into tip top shape by then. (The keen eyed amongst you might notice a pattern coming!)
Needs photos, map.
The whole thing needs converting to listings (which will smooth out any MoS issues, of which there are a few.)
Needs more sleep, eat and drink listings.
The get around section needs developing.
Barcelona -- Tim (writeme!) 15:52, 2 July 2007 (EDT)
Plenty of info, that needs to be converted to listings
Needs info to be put into correct districts
See/Do need addresses, phone numbers, directions
Eat/Drink needs contact details
Needs a street map and a metro map.
Needs photos of a few more of the larger attractions (Sagrada Famillia, Placa Real etc) - shouldn't be too hard to come by if we don't have any in Shared
Needs climate info (and the new temperature template!)
Cope needs more info, see Time Out is not good enough!
Need information of the best way to reach the destinations in get out
Contact needs more information about internet cafes, big post offices etc
Little Rock —The preceding comment was added by 70.232.65.60 (talk • contribs) .
Will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of Central High in September 2007; needs to be emphasized in much greater detail, more than just a little info box.
Needs maps and pictures.
"Eat" needs to be fixed. It's divided into Downtown West Little Rock, Budget, Mid Range, and Splurge. It doesn't tie together right.
Khachmaz city - a great deal of information, nice history section, and a expansive transportation section but:
The page need. s a MoS clean up.
The get out section should have more ideas for possible options post-Khachmaz(e.g. going to Russia, exploring Guba, sanatoriums in Nabron, etc.)
The page would benefit from the creation of foreign language pages
More information on Lesgi culture should be included
Needs more photos
Fill out the Northeast area in Azerbaijan!
Cupcakecommander 08:17, 16 July 2007 (EDT)
São Paulo - lots of information, listings
Some bits of info are in the wrong place
Districts need rethinking and then listings need to be placed in them
Needs a map and some photos
-- Tim (writeme!) 12:16, 12 August 2007 (EDT)
Beylaqan city - located in southern Azerbaijan, with friendly people:
The page need's a MoS clean up
The get out section should have more ideas for possible options post-Beylaqan(e.g. going to Barda, exploring the rest of southern Azerbaijan, oil sanatoriums in Naftalan, etc.)
The page would benefit from the creation of foreign language pages
There should be more things to do in Beylaqan
Fill out the Southern area in Azerbaijan!
Cupcakecommander 08:17, 16 July 2007 (EDT)
Ko Lanta. Reasonably good, popular northern summer destination in Thailand:
Needs a MoS clean up.
Needs the addition of cheaper, backpacker budget accommodation, almost everything there is mid range or luxury.
Needs better coverage of Lanta Old Town
Needs better coverage non-diving activities; there are, I believe, snorkelling tours and kayaking and so on being left out, plus elephant rides
Could use a map showing the various beaches at least on the western side where the resorts are.
Hypatia 23:52, 4 October 2007 (EDT)
Kish Island
Needs a general overhaul... rewrite touty prose, MoS, clear up old copyvio issues? – cacahuate talk 02:15, 18 October 2007 (EDT)
Agra
A famous tourist destination with the Taj Mahal and two other World Heritage sites.
Article has a lot of information and some good text, but needs a workover.
Eat listings are a mess, dozens of entries with little classification or detail. Pashley 02:56, 29 December 2007 (EST)
