village pump.
Approximately every month a Mexico Collaboration will be picked using this page. This is a specific
Mexico-related topic that could be greatly improved. The aim is to have a
featured-
standard article by the end of the month from widespread cooperative editing.
The project aims to fill gaps about Mexico in Wikipedia, to give users a focus, and to give us all something to be proud of. Anyone can nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles. Around the 21st of the month, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a month to potential contributors.
The next article will be selected on November 21, 2005.
Voting
Please vote in favour of as many candidates as you like; oppose votes have no effect (
approval voting is used). Any registered user may vote for an article, provided that account's first edit occurred before the nomination. You do not have to have any special knowledge about Mexico to nominate or vote for an article. To vote for an article, simply edit the appropriate section and add # ~~~~. If you believe that a topic does not fall within the scope of this project, please mention your objections in the "Comments" section. Around the 21st of every month, the article currently with the most votes will be selected to be the new collaboration. In the case of a tie, the article nominated first will be selected. Articles not selected must receive at least two votes per week to remain in consideration. If a nomination fails to achieve sufficient votes, it may be renominated after at least two weeks. You may wish to see the archive of
successful nominations.
Nominations
Nominations may be made at any time. Nominators must be registered users. To make a nomination, follow the following steps:
Edit the list of nominations and paste the following text at the bottom: {{subst:MexCnew|article name|~~~~~|date in seven days|your reason for nominating|~~~~}}.
Change the text accordingly (for example, {{subst:MexCnew|Monterrey Metro|~~~~~|August 2, 2005|I love riding it.|~~~~}}).
Please add {{
MexCnom}} to the top of the article's talk page.
I think that this might be too similar to the coat of arms of Mexico, also, I'm not sure which else needs to be added. I might be wrong, I'd like to hear what others have to say. --

I probably need to work on the flag display, and also a short paragraph about the Flag Day. The reason why I mainly brought this here is that I just wanted the MX editors to look at it, making sure all information is translated correctly, nothing is missing, so I can eventually send it to
WP:PR.

Nominated on 05:25, 28 December 2005 (UTC);if not selected by date in seven days, needs 2 votes to remain in consideration.
This is a very good article. I wanted to get this to featured article status, and I will do so. I have basically been the only contributor: LET'S CHANGE THAT!

We are trying to push this article to be at least a good article (
WP:GA), maybe even a featured article (
WP:FA). Your help would be much appreciated. --

This is just an informal list of participants; you may add or remove your name at any time. Listing yourself here does not obligate you to participate and you can vote and participate also if you don't sign yourself here. It is just to give us an idea of how much interest there is in this collaboration.
{{
MexCnom}} is placed on the talk pages of articles currently being considered for MexC. It places articles in
