Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Contest (for lack of a better title) is a contest for FL contributors being run in mid 2008. In the contest, contestants will pick a list to work on, and the first to have their list promoted will be declared the winner and awarded a fancy barnstar. Those that do not like barnstars can enter for fun.
This contest, conceived by FLC mastermind Scorpion0422, is a way to get some interest in the process and provide users with a challenge as most will be working with lists in topics that they have previously done little work with. It will also help populate some of the under-represented FL categories.
Entrants will select a list from one of the following under-represented categories: art, architecture and archaeology; awards, decorations and vexillology; business, economics and finance; chemistry and mineralogy; computing; food and drink; history; language and linguistics; law; mathematics; religion, mysticism and mythology; royalty, nobility and heraldry; philosophy and psychology; physics; space and astronomy; transport.
Three entrants are allowed to pick a category. A user is not allowed to pick a topic that they have previously had FLs promoted in. Users should try and pick a topic they are familiar with, but haven't done a lot of work on here on wikipedia.
Select a topic from the list below and enter it in the table beside your name. The rules have been changed; now a maximum of three users are allowed to pick one topic. While it is a good idea to know what specific list you will work on before checking, you have until Thursday to let us know list which list it will be.
Before selecting a topic, you should know which list you are working on. When selecting a list, please ensure that there are adequate sources so that it has a better chance of passing.
