The Zen Collaboration of the Month exists to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Zen Buddhism topics. There are various areas of weakness at present - in terms of breadth, for instance, there is very scant coverage of famous Zen Masters (there's no biography of Tenryū, for example) and in depth, Zen topics are not represented at all in the lists of Good or Featured Articles. 'Those who know do not speak' may be a good motto for a sage, but it isn't for an encyclopedia editor!
Please list articles for improvement under the two broad categories 'stubs to expand' into full articles or 'articles to polish' to featured article standard (see this page for detailed guidelines on the various different standards). You can also nominate stubs you would like to see created (or go ahead and create the stub!)
All volunteers are welcome, in particular it would be useful to have some Chinese, Japanese and other Asian speakers involved in the collaboration who can help translating texts from those languages into English.

To help people decide how to vote it would help if you could say what you think the existing weaknesses are and what improvements could be made.
At the end of each month the article with the most potential contributors will be chosen for the following month's collaboration. In the event of a tie, the article nominated first will win. Please don't attempt to make negative votes.
