While restarting COTM last month, we had reduced our COTM targets from
five to two and we saw that of these one did well - the other flagged.
Perhaps it means that the number of people interested in COTM are not
that many. User:AroundTheGlobe had suggested last month that we consider
developing the low-hanging fruit ie former GA and FA articles and
bringing them back to quality each month. Personally I like this idea
for many reasons:
* it gives a different activity for people to do than just improving an article.
* brining an article to GA is like a quest or challenge for those who prefer such.
* the articles have already reached very good quality and relatively
little work is required to improve them and restore them to former
status.
* the WikiProject benefits much more tangibly.
* editors get to learn the GA process (lets begin with GA first) which they can then use to improve their own articles.
So I propose that for January, we choose one normal article as normal
COTM and the other as Good Article Collaboration of the Month.
Warm regards,
