Welcome to the Meat WikiCup 2012! The Meat WikiCup is an event where participants create and expand as much bacon-related content as possible, score points, and try to score as high as they can, similar to the Wikipedia WikiCup. Upon the ending of the Meat WikiCup on the first day of March, the Meat WikiCup 2012 Trophy will be awarded to the contributor with the most points, along with everyone receiving a medal for their efforts. In addition, awards will be given out to the users who contribute the most in specific categories.
All participants should report any and all meat-related contributions to the submissions section. Points will only be scored for reported contributions! The scorekeeper will add points to the scoring table located below this section.
Point scoring is as follows:
This scoring system serves as a guide as to how contributions for the Meat WikiCup 2012 are scored for the Bacon WikiCup.
It is normally strictly followed, but may not always be if an edit is not as bacon-licious as it could be, or is more bacon-tastic than required (hint...bonus points!).
Scoring is not limited to the contributions listed here - any edit that helps to expand and improve Wikipedia's coverage of bacon may be submitted for points.
To submit your bacon-related contributions for scoring, please go to the submission section.
New Pages
Creating a new meat-related article scores 10 points. Points for article expansion (see below) will also be given.
Creating a meat-related disambiguation page or category scores 3 points
Creating a plausible redirect to a meat-related page scores 1 point
Creating a new meat-related page in a namespace other than the mainspace is up for independent judgement by the scorer, based on the nature and size of the page in question.
Article Expansion
Adding 300 words of prose scores 5 points
Adding an infobox, along with information in it, scores 4 points
A successful DYK nomination scores 5 points for the nominator, and 17 points for the key contributor(s) of the article.
A DYK that earns a spot at the DYK STATS will earn an additional 3 points for both the nominator and key contributor(s).
Media
Uploading a self-made meat-related image, sound, or video file scores 8 points
If a sound file is a narration of an article, an additional 1 point is scored per 300 narrated words from the article (does not include the introduction).
Any bacon-related image, sound, or video file that achieves featured status (on either the Commons or on Wikipedia) scores the creator an additional 20 points.
Uploading an appropriately licensed bacon-related image authored by someone else scores 7 points
Any bacon-related image, sound, or video file authored by someone else that achieves featured status (on either the Commons or on Wikipedia) scores the creator an additional 15 points.
Miscellany
Any bacon-related contributions that don't fit under anything above are still able to be scored, and will be scored based on the interpretation and judgement of the score keeper. Don't worry, he doesn't pick favorites. Usually.
Notes
If an article or picture gets deleted before 1 March 2012, all points that any participant gained from their work in that article or picture upload may be lost.
