Wiki Writers Competition Check out the Leaderboard! It gives me great pleasure to announce the latest GMC competition - a Wiki Writers Competition! This competition will run until the end of June, so we have a larger budget and some fabulous prizes! First place will receive a:  Pandora PX5D Awesome Effects and a recording capability Second place will receive a:  Pandora PX4D Just the same as Muris uses! Third place will receive a:  Boss DD3 Digital Delay Pedal Boost your solo sound or sound like U2! The aim of the competition is to get as many high quality articles accepted into the Wiki as possible, so we will be emphasising quality AND quantity! The rules and operation are as follows:
Here are a couple of examples: This article is good enough to get a 5. A lot of info here, good structure, uese the official article layout. This article would rate a 1. As you can see, there is no picture, bad organisation, no headings and very few facts, no discography, etc, etc, etc. An important part of gaining a high score is the use of official article templates - there is some information on how to use them here. Articles submitted that don't use the template will be graded 2 or below! Don't forget that 5 quality articles qualify you for a WikiWriters badge! So lets start writing Wiki articles, and may the best Wiki:er win! Addendum: In order to reward exceptional articles, all current articles will be re-read, and those of a standard higher than 5 will be regraded as "5+". For now that is the only change, and the score board will remain the same. However, at the end of the competition, all 5+ articles will be awarded an additional unlimited bonus score. This gives us room to recognise extraordinary entries when judged against the rest of the entries. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I guess prepping the competition and hiding it is confusing, I'll do it differently next time! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Content is more important than vocabulary! The great thing about a Wiki is that others can make corrections, so you can concentrate on some killer content and it can be edited later As a general note, I would like to encourage everyone, regardless of whether or not they are Native English speakers to have a go at this - the Seniors will be looking at overall standards, not specifically at language. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I agree with Andrew. Aa an example, a very informative list on bands or guitarist with links and images could qualify for top score! Or how about a very thoroughly written lesson plan with links, scale images etcSo no need for perfect English (If that was requirement I'd be banned from the wiki long ago!  )QUOTE (axelsson @ May 15 2008, 02:49 PM) Great competition! Are there any information how you're supposed to do when you want to write your article? Yes - follow the links given by Andrew in the opening post! (or check this)

Andrew has now inserted the leaderboard on the wiki frontpage - this will be a cool way to keep track of what's happening!

Do the two articles I've allready written in the last two days count? =)
I got a load of bands and stuff to write about yet, so I'll be taking part ^^ (By the way, I thought we had to write 5 articles to get a badge, not 3 as stated in the first post?) -------------------- GMC is not just a website... It's a lifestyle!
