The Collaboration of the Month is an attempt to get Wikibooks regulars and guests who want to help out to work together on a single project over the period of the month. The hope is that the Wikibook will advance quickly over that period.

Selection criteria

Collaborations of the Month are selected by a simple majority vote from books nominated by registered Wikibooks editors. To become a Collaboration of the Month, a Wikibook must meet the following criteria:

The Wikibook must have its basic project structure already in place. Preferably, it should also have a small, limited, amount of content already available.
The Wikibook must concern a well-known subject. For instance, a Collaboration of the Month could not be over Liquid Crystal Display Dynamics.
The Wikibook must not have been a Collaboration of the Month at any time in the past year.

If you believe a Wikibook meets the above criteria and want to nominate it as a Collaboration of the Month, do the following:

Add {{CoMcandidate}} (see Wikibooks:Templates) to the top of the discussion page for the main page of the project.
Click on the link within the template's box which reads its nomination sub-section. Then, under the Nominations section on the voting page for the next month type ===[[Articlename]]=== and add your reason for nomination below. Be sure to sign your reason with your signature by adding four tildes, ~~~~

Voting rules

The following are the rules and conditions for voting for the Collaboration of the Month:

Only registered users with 20 or more edits to their name may vote.
You may vote under as many nominations as you wish, however, you may only vote for each book itself once.
Sign your vote with a number sign and four tildes, #~~~~, after the most previous vote under the book's nomination. Unsigned votes will be removed.
Any nomination which receives 3 or more votes in one month will automatically be renominated the next month if it is not chosen.
If you wish to include a short comment for your vote, then you may do so. Make sure that if you leave such a comment, that you are also voting for that page.
Do not post objection votes as these will have no effect on the final tally.
Voting will end at 00:00 UTC on the first day of each month. In essence, when a new month begins voting ends. Any votes added after this time will be discarded.
The nomination with most votes will be chosen as the Collaboration of the Month. In case of a tie, the older Wikibook will be chosen.
