All details can be found in this post from the Wiki Forum, chek it out, winning killer gear has never been so easy!

I'm currently working on two articles but it's not that easy to do all the article in English (so not do copy-paste), if it isn't your mother tongue...so I found a very good description of the strengths of Willie Adler at wikipedia...am I allowed to use their ideas, if I try to formulate it a little bit different?

Fusar you can use Google Translate service, it's free and does the best job of all translators I tried. It cannot do "street" language that good, but it handles common and technical language (such as Wiki) quite good. All it takes are some corrections here and there depending on the complexity of the text.
Google Translate can translate one word, text, your own document, or entire web page.

Remember that this competition is about writing lots of entries to add up lots of points, rather than the usual "one entry per member" scheme that we are used to in our contests.
The idea is to have lots of entries, hopefully some each day, and watch the scoreboard "move" in real time, thus motivating participants to write more to win these great prizes.
So go for it guys, that lonely scoreboard really needs some action

A bit like the first few weeks of the REC program
