Wikipedia:The Asia-Oceania Destubathon

Rules

Please make sure you read the rules very carefully if participating!

Measuring tool

The article readable prose, excluding sources and lists, will have to be minimum 1500 bytes (1.5 KB) to comply with the contest.

To measure the article size, please use the Wikipedia:Prosesize gadget. Like most Wikipedia tools, you must be logged in to install or use the gadget. To install it, select it at Preferences → Gadgets → Browsing → Prosesize: add a toolbox link to show the size of and number of words in a page (direct link), and then save. To remove the gadget, disable the gadget in your preferences. If using Vector skins this will appear in the toolbox top right on an article page. If using the old Monobook skin it will appear at the bottom of the box on the left. Click on the page size before starting and when you're finished to gauge how much readable prose you've added and if it complies with the rules.

Scope and prize fund distribution

£2000 (roughly $2680) is being put up by the Open Knowledge Association (OKA), which will be e-vouchers for any Amazon site in the countries it operates in by default unless you have a valid reason why you object to that at the end of the contest, whether it be not having a service in your country or criticism of them etc. In such cases flexibility is offered, but there is a strong emphasis on using your prize to buy books to further improve content. At the end of the contest you will email for your prizes and let us know what country you are in.

Destubathon Barnstar

All editors who contribute 5 or more articles will be rewarded with the Destubathon Barnstar. If you contributed at least five articles to the contest or editathon regardless of prizes please make your claim on the prizes page to be rewarded with this.

	Destubathon Barnstar
	Much appreciate your effort in the Destubathon of the Asia-Oceania!
