Welcome to Wikipedia:Wikiatholon/Rules. The premise of this competition is for Wikipedians to showcase their skills over five categories, in much the same way that athletes compete in a Pentathlon.
Specific rules edit
Points system edit
There are no bonus points in the Wikiatholon. Every DYK, GA, FA, and everything else that earns participant's points are awarded equally.
Featured articles edit
- You must declare your Wikiatholon participation if you review another participant's FAC.
Featured pictures edit
- All images should have been created by you (either photographed, drawn, or created in some other way) or been given significant restoration work by you. Merely uploading a file or obtaining an OTRS for an image you found elsewhere does not constitute "significantly working on" the image.
Featured portals edit
- The content featured in the portal does not need to have been created by you, only the portal design and selection itself.
Did you know? edit
- Articles with at least 5kb (that is, 5120 bytes) "readable prose size", whether expansions or new articles, are worth 2 points.
- Points are granted after the article has actually been featured on the main page. Merely being approved by a reviewer does qualify the entry. If a hook is being held for a specific date after the end of the round and you need to claim the points, talk to the judges.
- Articles are eligible for DYK through being newly created, newly expanded fivefold, or newly promoted to GA status. We follow the same rules as DYK.
In the news edit
- Articles appearing on recent deaths are eligible for in the news points, subject to the normal requirement for substantial work by the nominator.
Peer reviews edit
- Points are earned for performing peer reviews, not for responding to reviewers' concerns or nominating articles for peer review.
- You may claim points once you have completed your review, but you are expected to follow up on the review if appropriate.
