Jury Process

To ensure transparency and fairness, the competition will adopt a quantitative scoring system. However, it's important to note that all articles must adhere to Wikimedia platform's standards for notability, quality, and sourcing, as outlined in the subsequent rules section. The judges reserve the right to disqualify any article that doesn't meet these criteria. This approach balances objective evaluation with the necessary quality controls to maintain the integrity of the competition.

The scoring system for the winners would be as follows:

  • 10 (10.0) points would be awarded for every new article (English, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, others).
  • Five point (5.0) for every english article translated on language Wikipedia (Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, French etc).
  • Three point (3.0) for every 1000 bytes of content for the articles.
  • Half a point (0.5) for every quality source or citation used in a new Wikipedia article.
