Please note this is now the Entertainment COTW not the Television Show COTW.
Each week an Entertainment Collaboration of the week will be picked using this page. This is a specific Entertainment related topic which initially either has no article, has only a basic stub-like page, or is in need of more information. The aim of this project is to improve the quality of Wikipedia's entertainment articles through widespread cooperative editing.
The project is also used to fill gaps in Wikipedia, to give users a focus, and to give us all something to be proud of. Any registered user can nominate an article and can vote for any number of the nominated articles. Every Sunday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.

The next winner will be selected on Sunday, October 24, 18:00 (UTC).

Considerations for nominations
- Giving reasons as to why an article should become the ECOTW may assist others in casting their vote.
- Can the community easily contribute to the article? Or is it something only a small number of people will know about?
Pruning
Nominations will be moved to /Removed if they have not received 5 votes after 7 days on the list, 10 votes after 14 days, 15 votes after 21 days, and so on.

- Walker, Texas Ranger is perhaps the most influential television drama of the 20th century, yet it's wikipedia article still needs a lot of work. The public needs to be informed on the subject of this show and Chuck Norris needs to be compensated more for his role in this monumental show.
- almost as good as MacGyver.
- Nominated October 19; needs 5 votes by October 26 (minimum 5 votes per week)

- This article should have been the ECOTW last week, so I'm nominating it this week even though I couldn't care less about the show.

- VERY controversial television movie...probably as notable to American television history as Cathy Come Home is to Britain. Among other things, the television movie, starring a 14-year-old Linda Blair, showed the first all-female rape scene on American television. Quite groundbreaking for its time (1974).
