Anybody can participate in this, contestant or editathon participant! It will run this weekend from 0:00 GMT on Saturday 30th - 23:59 GMT Monday 2 May, with a focus on diversity and scope of Wales. The goal is to improve and increase the number of articles for Wales we have on wikipedia!
I think we can safely assume that the dragon has awoken and is now dancing on the roof of Wales in his Y-fronts. ;-)

To really decide the best way to earn on this, contestants must really have a good think about how they will play it. The idea is to increase the diversity and output of content over the final weekend, and give everybody a chance to play it in the way which appeals to them. The winner of the overall contest will be announced on the following day after it closes.

Rules[edit]

  • You can create a new article, expand a stub, improve a core article, anything you fancy. This combines all of the best aspects of Core Attack, Stub Obliteration and Wales in Red. Diversity on this is the main idea - a mishmash of everything and as many different subjects as possible from different parts of Wales is to be encouraged. Should you wish to only edit one subject or only create new articles, this is permitted, and getting the 500 bonus 50 creations/destubs and improvements over the weekend is obtainable through this, but you're unlikely to score as heavily as you would for targetting the diversity/word score bonuses.
  • New articles must have a minimum of three sourced facts. Don't worry about prose count, but try to make the new stubs constructive and have some reasonable information in them for a start.
  • Destubbed articles must be minimum 1.5 kb readable prose in total. A stub for this is classified as an article under 1.5 kb of readable prose, stub tag included or not. Articles destubbed are expected to be done in the manner stated on the Stub Obliteration page, properly formatted and verified, and stub tags removed after expansion.
  • Core expansions and other improvements to existing articles above a stub must be minimum 1.5 kb readable prose added.
  • All expanded articles are expected to be adequately sourced throughout, in keeping with the overall contest rules. It is not OK to just add 3 kb of readable prose and leave the rest of the original article unsourced or poorly sourced/written and edited. You must demonstrate that the overall quality has also improved.
  • Both existing and new articles must be adequately sourced (no unsourced paragraphs or sources with bare URLs without publisher information and inconsistently formatted) with reliable sources, meet notability guidelines, and be without copyright issues.
  • Existing basic bonus points and ones on the other bonuses section of the main rules and scoring page will apply to this. You'll get the 20 extra for an article on a woman, 10 from missing list, 40-50 points Core articles, though for this you'll get 25 points for just a 1.5kb (rather than 3kb) expansion.
  • Place all of your articles, new and improved in the contestants section below.
  • Declare what type of work you've done, the readable prose count change (see this to measure), and how many points you're claiming. It makes it a lot easier on this if you briefly explain the points you're claiming (rather than just stating "25 +10 or whatever).
  • If going for the 22 county bonus, remember to state the name of the county when listing your articles. If going for the celebrity word score bonus try to pipe the entries and embolden the first letter of each and then state the name once done. See the bonuses sections for the Tom Jones example.
  • Try to add the Wales project and any other relevant tags to the talk page by the end of the day. Though not compulsory, it will help the project later. If expanding a stub, make sure you update it to start class on the talk page.
  • Only entries created/improved between 0.00 GMT on Saturday 30th and 23:59 GMT on Monday 2nd will be elligible for entry into the finale. Any article completed and submitted after 23:59 GMT on the Monday may be omitted.
  • If you're creating articles on listed buildings or any buildings or places, if you don't add the coordinates remember to add ((coord missing|Wales)) at the bottom of the pages.

Scoring[edit]

The points you'll get below are given. Please note that many of the bonuses listed are the ones listed in the original scoring page but are listed here for convenience. The points listed here are not extra on top of the scoring and bonuses listed elsewhere but are repeated here to avoid confusion and make it clearer to the contestant. Ignore though any rule which may have been given on each of the Core Attack/Stub Obliteration and Wales in Red which is common to only those pages to avoid confusion here. Follow largely what is stated below, mainly based on the original scoring system:

  • A new article, minimum of three sourced facts - 25 points
  • A new article minimum 3kb in length - 25 points
  • An article destubbed to not less than 1.5 kb of readable prose in total - 25 points
  • An existing article expanded by no less than 1.5 kb of readable prose -25 points. If you've destubbed an article and then expand it by 1.5 kb of readable prose you won't get an extra 25 points on this.
  • An existing article on the core list in either the sports or sciences sections expanded by minimum 3kb readable prose - double points. If you did a 3kb expansion of a stub for instance you'd get 50 points for the overall expansion, not extra for destubbing and then expanding. - 50 points
  • An existing article expanded by over 5 kb of readable prose -50 points
  • An existing article expanded by over 10 kb of readable prose -100 points
  • A Good Article - 200 points (articles must have passed by 23:59 GMT on May 2nd though to quality for this).
  • Tackling a Level 1 Core article -50 points (for this you need to add minimum 1.5 kb of readable prose to claim the points)
  • Tackling a Level 2 Core article -40 points (for this you need to add minimum 1.5 kb of readable prose to claim the points)
  • Starting/destubbing/expanding an article on any Welsh woman or topic. It may be in the Women list or any other missing entries you find.– 20 points
  • Tackling an article which has not been expanded by more than 1kb readable prose in five years. – 10 points
  • Tackling an article with a ghastly tag or entirely unsourced. – 5 points
  • Starting a new article on the missing article hotlist – 10 points

Bonuses/challenges[edit]

  • Any other bonus for multiple articles on something done listed in the "Other bonuses" apply. Anything done during during the finale may count to combined bonuses overall, such as one for destubbing 100 articles during the whole contest.
  • Whoever produces 50 new articles/destubs/expansions over the weekend will get a 500 point bonus. Remember that this isn't just 1.5kb new creations, the figure includes destubbing, some articles may only need 0.3 kb etc.
  • A 500 bonus will be given to anybody who can start/destub/improve an article for each of the 22 Principal areas of Wales which are:

Try to vary what you work on for this, not just one type of listed building or just villages for instance, try to vary it a little if you can and include a few biographies or historical events among the common geo and listed building type ones. If you want to focus more on architecture, a range of different types of buildings is preferred, from churches to public houses etc. Overall contestants are expected to have shown a range of types and made some effort to create/improve a diversity of content. Please don't just create new articles for this, try to expand as many as you can during it and mix it up a bit. Manage to double the entries and do two from each county, 44 in total, and you'll get a further 500 bonus.

  • A 250 point bonus will be given to anybody who can spell the name of a famous Welsh person listed on the core article list with the first letters of the articles that they produce. For example Tregroes, Oakford, Mydroilyn, Jeffreyston, Olmarch, Nantmel, Esgairgeiliog, Sardis= Tom Jones. Though obviously a little more variation than just villages is needed here, it can be any article you wish, new or expanded which starts with the relevant letter. 250 points will be available for every word scored, but each name must be different, though editors can score the same names as other contestants on one if they wish.
  • For people with under 1000 points currently in the contest, and are unlikely to produce 6 or 8 or more articles to fully spell a name I will offer 100 points for spelling just the surname of a Welsh celebrity. If you can manage something like "Jones" in the three days this would be great!
  • Hint: Overall if you aim to improve or start articles from each of the 22 counties you can be selective with what you edit and spell out names of people to get a multiple bonus at the same time. The idea of this is to encourage diversity of output and make it more challenging instead of just random creations/expansions. So be intelligent with your selections and produce big and there's over 1000 points for this over the weekend. Obviously if you can target a few core article improvements at the same time as going for the word scores and 22 areas of Wales you'll earn more.
  • To encourage the production and improvement of biographies of dead people, particularly on the core list, people who currently have under 1000 points on the overall contest are entitled to a point bonus of the lifetime of the biography that they expand or create providing that they expand it by minimum 3kb. So if you did a 3kb expansion of somebody like Hugh Edwards (rower) for instance if you expanded it by 3kb you'd get 40 points Level 2 core, 50 points for expanding somebody in the sports section (sports and scientists on the list are now double for expansions as they've been poorly covered so far) and a 66 point bonus for improving it.

Done most of these. With regard to St Mary's Church, Llanllwch, I would like a dispensation. Since I started this article a fortnight ago, another editor has added the unsourced paragraph. The information is sourced in the article Rhyd-y-gors but with some funny kind of reference I don't understand. He's going to be pretty annoyed if I remove his paragraph, but I will if necesary!

Thanks for pointing out the 15 articles destubbed on any listed building or populated settlement = 50 points bonus. All 16 articles that I submitted for the Preserved County sub-contest were listed buildings plus those here. @Sturmvogel 66: List the entries you destubbed on the main entries page in the other claims section nearer the bottom.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:13, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sander.v.Ginkel[edit]

  1. Created 183 articles, most of them are stubs: 183*10=1830 points
  2. Created 2 categories: 2*1=2 points

You didn't enter the contest itself at an earlier date so I can't really give you points for this. In order to compete for the finale you needed to have done work prior to this too. Thanks for the new stubs though.♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:09, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
