== Rules and Procedure ==
=== Rules ===
* The article's status must be 0 or 1, i.e., only "Advanced Articles" may be nominated.
* Any Citizen may nominate an article.
* No Citizen may have nominated more than one article listed under "current nominees" at a time.
* The article's nominator is indicated simply by the first name in the list of votes (see below).
* At least for now--while the project is still small--you may nominate and vote for articles of which you are a main author.
* An article can be Article of the Week only once every six months.  Nominated articles that have won top honors should be removed from the list.
* Comments on nominations should be made on the article's talk page.
* The list of nominees should be kept below 20, or thereabouts. Articles with very few supporters and which have not gained any new supporters in the last two weeks or so may be deleted to make room for new nominees.
* Any ''editor'' may entirely cancel the nomination of any ''unapproved'' article in his or her area of expertise if, for example, it contains obvious and embarrassing problems.
 
=== Voting ===
* To vote, add your name and date in the ''Supporters'' column next to an article title, after other supporters for that article, by signing <code><nowiki><br />~~~~</nowiki></code>. (The date is necessary so that we can determine when the last vote was added.) Your vote is alloted a score of 1.
* Add your name in the ''Specialist supporters'' column only if you are an editor who is an expert about the topic in question. Your vote is alloted a score of 1 for articles which you created and a score of 2 for articles which you did not create.
* You may vote for as many articles as you wish, and each vote counts separately, but you can only ''nominate'' one at a time; see above.  You could, theoretically, vote for every nominated article on the page, but this would be pointless.
 
=== Ranking ===
* The list of articles is sorted by number of votes first, then alphabetically.
* Admins should make sure that the votes are correctly tallied, but anyone may do this.  Note that "Specialist Votes" are worth 3 points.
 
=== Updating ===
* Each Thursday, one of the admins listed below should move the winning article to the [[#Current Winner|Current Winner]] section of this page, announces the winner on Citizendium-L and updates the "previous winning articles" section accordingly.
* The winning article will be the article at the top of the list (''ie'' the one with the most votes).
* In the event of two or more having the same number of votes :
** The article with the ''most specialist supporters'' is used. Should this fail to produce a winner, the article appearing ''first by English alphabetical order'' is used.<br />
** The remaining winning articles are guaranteed this position in the following weeks, again in alphabetical order. No further voting would take place on these, which remain at the top of the table with notices to that effect. Further nominations and voting take place to determine future winning articles for the following weeks.
 
== Administrators ==
 
These are people who have volunteered to run this program.  Their duties are (1) to ensure that this page remains "clean," e.g., as a given article garners more votes, its tally is accurately represented and it moves up the list, and (2) to place the winning article on the front page on a weekly basis.
