Rules

• Please read the rules very carefully before the contest commences.
• Articles must be in the mainspace by the end of the competition period.
• All entries are expected to be fully sourced, with no unsourced claims. Try to make the formatting consistent with dates and layout; clean, useful new entries are what the contest is about.
• It is important that before starting new entries, especially on the English Wikipedia, you take the time to ensure that articles meet notability guidelines and have the adequate coverage in reliable sources needed to be acceptable on Wikipedia.
• Articles should comply with the Quick contribution guide and Wikibooks:Welcome to be acceptable on Wikibooks.
• Take extra care to avoid paraphrasing and copyright. While producing a lot of content, it is sometimes difficult to avoid sentences that do not resemble something in a source but it is important that the articles are without problems and will stick around on Wikipedia for a long time.
• No automated, semi-automated tools, scripts or manual templates to mass generate content are permitted for the contest. Any indication that editors are cheating by using a cookie-cutter template or script to mass-generate through lists may lead to disqualification.

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.
• 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.
