Voting

Please feel free to vote on as many candidates as you like. Any registered user may vote for an article, as long as the account's first edit occurred before the nomination.

Collaboration of the month nominations are evaluated at the end of every month. The number of oppose votes is subtracted from the number of support votes, producing a net value for each nomination. The guide with the highest net value each month becomes that month's collaboration. In the case of a tie, the earliest nomination is chosen.

Nominations will be removed in one of three instances:

  1. The nomination is selected as the new Collaboration of the month.
  2. The nomination has been live for six months and has a net value of zero.
  3. The nomination has been live for 12 months.

  • It's a really popular game, so I hear, and one person who really wanted it said that everybody they knew had the game. I had to get mine Preowned because there were hardly any in the shop! --Melon247 (Dog's Life's No. 1 fan) 12:55, 31 July 2008 (CDT)
    • Well, I haven't heard anything online, and since I don't have any game magazine subscriptions at the moment I can't really contest how popular it is. I really don't understand the whole virtual pet genre craze... --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 16:11, 31 July 2008 (CDT)
    • Additionally, this game is called Hamsterz 2 in the UK, Hamsterz 2008 in AU, and Petz: Hamsterz 2 in the US. --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 16:14, 31 July 2008 (CDT)
  • I don't think this game is very notable or widely played. - najzereT 06:39, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

  • It's a very popular online sight (there always seems to be millions of users in the clubhouse) so there must be lots of people with webkinz toys --Melon247, The Dog's Life Expert 12:34, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
  • This is still incredibly popular with the younger croud. --Zaiqukaj 11:15, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
  • This is more of a kiddie social networking site than an actual game. What mini-games they have don't need walkthroughs either. On a personal note, I feel that the the whole thing is a big scam anyway. - najzereT 06:39, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

  • Coming out this month and I'm guessing it will be very popular considering how well the other sims games sold. --Melon247 16:50, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
    • Wait... isn't this thing coming out in like June? Once it's out I'm definitely supporting it, because of the aforementioned popularity and whatnot, but I don't think we can make it a collab until release. Baejung92 (talk) 03:50, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
      • Think that was my mistake. I think it's coming out on 20th February in the US or something. Then it's coming out on 5th June in the UK. I didn't realise until after I'd put it here and I started playing Sims 2, because it has advert things underneath the 'play' button and it was advertising The Sims 3. --Melon247 08:56, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
        • It was coming out on Feb 20 but it got delayed. :( I think that this would be a great collab of the month for June. Sims2Guy 05:00, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
  • The new game looks pretty awesome from what advanced information I've seen. This would be beneficial to the site if we get on this quickly enough after its release. - najzereT 06:39, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
  • I'm starting to see ads for this everywhere. Wikipedia says it comes out during the 1st week of June. This series is traditionally very popular.--Zaiqukaj 09:51, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

  • A whole series of games so the chances are that quite a few people will have at least one of them. And they're so cute! --Melon247 09:07, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
  • I'm generally opposed to collabs on multiple games at once. If you were talking specifically about the category itself, that may be a job for the cleanup project.--DukeRuckleyTalk | Contribs 16:54, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

  • The guide seems to be doing fairly well, and the game is a fairly popular recent release. As a remake of a classic game, it is bound to be a guide that will see some use in the long term. --~Vizeroth~-- 06:54, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
  • This guide is already at completion stage 4. A good, month long collaboration could see this guide become the next one featured. - najzereT 06:39, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
  • With the recent release on the DS, it'd be nice to see this one finished up. Plus, a featured guide for a popular game like this would be really good for the site.--DukeRuckleyTalk | Contribs 16:54, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
  • It's been the CotM before. --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 04:40, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
  • If this gets elected. LETS GET IT DONE! We're gonna need as much help as we can get, because the entire guide needs to be revised for multiple versions of the game (each has its own unique names for certain things, although the PlayStation version isn't so different). --Notmyhandle (talk contribs) 05:21, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

  • I personally have tried to put in as much detail on the walkthrough pages and appendices, such as the enemy pages. It would be a shame to see that effort go to waste. --Jammi568 23:25, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Pikmin 2

  • Despite the fact that it isn't as well known as Halo 3 or SSBB, Pikmin 2 was an excellent game. And with the upcoming Pikmin 3 as well as the Wii release of Pikmin 2, it's probably going to be talked about. I still enjoy this game today, and it deserves a guide.--Shinypolitoed 19:09, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

  • The previous games relating to this one (Riviera: The Promised Land and Yggdra Union: We'll Never Fight Alone) had pretty slick looking graphics and music. The game is being published by Atlus and is being released to North America on June 2, 2009. In my region advertisements for pre-ordering the game were up earlier this month and Atlus is one of the better known RPG releasing companies so there may be a good deal of people getting the game. --Zaiqukaj 09:51, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
