| Number of participant: 50 each month |  160 for two month (9/2017: 126, 12/2017: 34)

Summary of created articles of top 6 participant in September 2017 |
Learning
[edit]- What worked well?
- The number of created article are much more than we have expected.
- On the last week participants increased speed and created a lot of articles than the previous 3 weeks.
- Participants have learned a lot about how to use Content Translation and how to insert references to prove that their articles are notable.
- What did not work so well?
- There are a dozen machine translated or copyright infringement articles, and we have to disqualify these articles to be fair to other participants
- What would you do differently next time?
- Next time we can increase the number of estimated articles to 500-600 per month.
- Most of newly created articles are from chemistry, clearly they are easier to translate. Perhaps we will exclude chemistry articles in the next contest to stay balanced.
