Overview
  • An amount of money for vouchers as prizes for a three week contest in early January outlined here. The idea is that there would be (say) a £75 voucher for first prize, £50 for second, and £25 for a number of "honorable mentions". Vouchers could be for some worldwide digital organisation, such as Amazon, I-tunes or something similar. Amazon is probably the easiest.
Budget
  • See above - I guess it depends - £250 would give me a first, second and five "honourable mentions" as outlined above. The rationale for using vouchers is to distance the idea from paid editing.
Timeline
  • Three weeks in January. All done by early february.
Expected outcomes
  • Hopefully some improvement in core/broad/vital articles on the English wikipedia, much of which needs a good buffing.
Who I am
  • I am Casliber on english wiki, and admin, arb and content editor, and very familiar with content in mainspace, which is why I am thinking this is a good idea.
