The Geoffrey of Monmouth Multilingual Challenge
Welcome to the Geoffrey of Monmouth writing and images challenge for Monmouthpedia. This challenge will run from now until the 1st of July 2012 (to coincide with a Wikimedia UK board meeting). Everybody can help in any language to collaborate on writing articles related to Monmouth.
How it works
Any Wikipedian with a named account (on any wiki) can participate. Two Wikipedians can form a team and participate jointly: this means you don't have to be multilingual!
To participate you must sign up on the users and points page: you must include a link to your talk page (it may be on any Wikipedia, but please test the link to make sure it works!)
The challenge is based on a point system, with the goal for each participant to gain as many points as possible. Details on barnstars and prizes can be found here.
1 point: 5 new photographs added to Wikimedia Commons relating to Monmouth
1 point: 1 historic photograph added to Wikimedia Commons relating to Monmouth
1 point: geotagging 3 images on Wikimedia Commons relating to Monmouth that do not have geotags
2 points:a new stub article (100 words of text, with internal and external links)
4 points: a start article of 400 words
5 points: a new short article (500 words of text, with internal and external links, inline ref and image)
