Core Attack. Now open, from 10th April until the 29th, as attacking core articles of course is the chief goal of this contest. Take the time to carefully read the rules below and how to score well for editing core articles. With this the main exercise is to try to target as many core articles as possible and get them improved. The emphasis with this is on scope and quantity, getting any core article listed to a minimum standard, consistently. Article improvements will require a minimum of 1.5kb of readable prose and for sourcing and prose to be to expected quality standards throughout. There will be a further 250 point bonus at the end of every week for the person who tackles the most articles, and a 500 point bonus and £20 Amazon voucher at the end of the month for whoever improves the most core articles overall. Obviously if contestants play this right, they can do a lot of basic expansions/improvements and then eye up further expansions and getting them to GA for greater points later on. See the "Other bonuses" section. If you do this well there's a chance to earn very heavily for doing this, mainly for minimum 3kb expansions.
Scoring may be subject to change as this progresses and further bonuses may be added or removed on certain things depending on the distribution of articles submitted.
Burning furiously at the centre of the core are some articles badly in need of development. Remember that anybody who commits to getting History, Geography, Politics or Economy to GA I will give double points on basic new articles (10=20) and expansions (25=50) up to 3kb for the rest of the contest. But you will need to declare that you are committed to it be signing your name below. I will start giving double to the person who accepts in good faith that they will promote it, though if for some reason they fail to do so by the end, the double points will be retracted. Here are some of the highest earning articles you can possibly tackle for this and the total points you will earn (not extra bonuses) for writing a high-quality article and promoting to Good Article status. Please note that this is not a further bonus on top of the bonuses listed on the Rules and Scoring page but a combined total of points that these articles are worth for promoting.
A total of 1515 points for anybody who can get any three of the following up to Good Article status within the month:
Please list articles done for this in a subsection under your entry sections on the main entries page. You will need to list core articles improvements you do in this subsection to obtain full points allocated here. Claims for Royal Wales you'll find in its own section near the bottom of the main entries page. |
