Competitors may work as an individual or on a team. The competition started on May 1st 2011 and will end on April 1st 2012. Good luck!

Rules

[edit]

All contestants must have a Wikipedia account. Only contributions on or after May 1, 2011 will be considered. The competition closes at noon, Eastern Standard Time, on April 1 2012. Participants may work in teams or as individuals, however, teams must indicate their team members in the participants list above as soon as possible. In order to be credited for a featured or good article, one (or one's team) must be the primary contributor, and the article must start at C-class or lower. The same applies in order to be credited for a B-class article, although these articles must begin at start or stub-class. To be credited for a featured list, one (or one's team) must be the primary contributor, and the list cannot have been a formerly featured list. In order to be credited for a did you know article, one must be the primary contributor. In order for a contribution to count towards the 'most edits' award, it cannot be an automated edit (such as with AutoWikiBrowser, Huggle, etc). In the event of a tie, any prizes will be split evenly between the winners. Judges reserve the right to adjudicate in the spirit of the rules, rather than to their letter.
