Is "Collaboration" really the best term to use for this project? IIRC there is already some issues with the term "collaboration" in MB. Does anyone have any better names for this project? Perhaps Artist Cleanup of the Month or something that actually describes what this actually project is without combining words/terms used in other places of MB. I'm marking this article/project as [[Bad Terminology|BadTerminology]]. --[[User:BrianG|BrianG]] |

<ul><li style="list-style-type:none">I definitely think another name is needed.. Not familiar with Collab of the Month 'project' until now, I had to find the wiki page to see what this was. "Collaboration" though by definition is correct is confusing partly by it's use in AR's. If you want to keep it use something like "Artist Cleanup Collaboration of the Month". Though like above "Artist Cleanup of the Month" or "Artist Cleanup Project of the Month" sounds better to me. --[[User:TeleGUISE|teleGUISE]] |

Do we change the name? |

I'm starting to think that one month isn't long enough considering the amount of moderators helping out and the amount of time we can all spend on MB (or ''want'' to spend on the one artist). Maybe two months is better? We could probably keep the 'of the Month' extension though, if an artist ''is'' cleaned up sufficiently in one month we can move on. --[[User:Mdhowe|Mdhowe]] |
