The month of cultural celebration


Feminism and Folklore is a writing contest where we write aboutgeneral folks and cultures, which takes place within the month of February and March. The Yoruba Wikimedians User Group is participating in this year's edition. Join us to bridge knowledge gap about women on Yorùbá Wikipedia.


Rules

[edit]
  • All articles submitted for the main prizes must be a minimum of 1.2 kb (1200 bytes) of readable prose. This is the bare minimum to accommodate for the fact that a lot of smaller localities and landmarks are difficult to write fuller articles on but are very worthy of including and having a reasonable basic entry on in their own right. Always aim for at least 1.5 kb (1500 bytes) of readable prose unless you're genuinely struggling to find enough to reach it.
  • All paragraphs must be fully sourced, with appropriate title, publisher, author, date information where relevant, no bare urls or poorly formatted sources that include publisher and title, etc in one link etc. Be consistent in the sourcing and formatting, and be careful of sourcing claims lower down in paragraphs, and ensure that the sources verify all of the information given above.
  • All content submitted must have been checked and verified. If there are claims that are not verifiable in an existing stub or article, delete those claims before submitting. All claims in such articles must be verified; it is not acceptable to quickly add text around an existing article and submit it without checking.
  • All articles are expected to be free of copyright issues and plagiarism; multiple articles found with problems may result in being disqualified from the contest.
  • To be eligible to win prizes, participants must demonstrate that they've written at least 10 articles that are stub.
  • Participants should strive to avoid all form of of Google or any machine translators during this contest to ensure quality control. Any article done with machine translator would not be counted.
