Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket/Contests/New article contest

The New article contest was a rolling competition designed to motivate people to create quality new cricket-related articles up to B-class standard.

How does it work?

Instructions for contestants

The contest is simple in structure and administered by the contest coordinators. The following instructions apply:

  1. The contest runs from the first to last day of each month. At the start of the month, editors may pre-emptively list the articles they intend on creating (and then have until the end of the month to create them), or they may simply list the articles that they have worked on at the end of the month.
  2. Runs are awarded per new article created and are valued on where they fall on the assessment rating, from Stub-class to to B-class level.
  3. The claiming editor must have created the article, or worked closely alongside the article creator if a joint-creation.
  4. As articles are created throughout the month, contestants should list their creations at WP:CRICAS for independent assessment, although it is acceptable to self-assess up to C-class.
  5. Once an article has been created and assessed, contestants are expected to update this page with the assessment class and the claimed runs, based on the runs table (see below).
  6. At the end of the month, no new entries should be added to the entries subpage until it has been reset by a contest coordinator as part of the closing process (detailed separately in the instructions to contest coordinators).

Prizes

  1. Each month, the participant with the highest number of runs will be awarded the Golden Bat, while the second place-getter will be awarded the Silver Bat.
  2. The editor who has the highest accumulated total of runs over the course of the entire year of contests (January to December inclusive) will be awarded the Article Creator's Cup.

Entries

Please add entries in alphabetical order by user name in the following form:

| [[User:Username|]] || [[Talk:Article name]] || Article class || Points || Checked
|-

Nominees should track their own entries, updating the table with the new classes and points claimed/earned. This is self-scoring process (but not self-assessing) so requests for assessments for B-class should be made through the normal channels (i.e. at WP:CRICAS up to and including B-Class), although nominees may self-assess articles up to C-class at discretion. Experienced members may check entries for the significance of a nominees contribution and the points they have claimed; if they are satisfied they should sign the "checked" box. Entries may be progressively checked through the scoring period. If a "checked" nomination is upgraded during the month (i.e. an article a user 'finished' at C-class has been expanded by that user to B-class and reassesed as such), then nominator must remove a notation that the nomination has been checked so that it may be re-checked. At month end, the closing contest coordinator will check the total points claimed and update the yearly scoreboard.
