The 1,000 Destubbing Challenge is a new challenge design to destub 1,000 articles on Yoruba Wikipedia. Thousands of articles were created on Yoruba Wikipedia with no enough contents. These articles are called stubs. The challenge aim at improving the articles to a reasonable length of contents. It may take years to accomplish, it all depends on how many people actively contribute. We will reward users with the most articles destubbed on a monthly basis.
- Percentage of target reached for 2022:
- We aim to expand at least 100 articles monthly
- Give a small weekly prize for most articles destubbed in one month
- To cover over 200 countries and entities, every country on the planet, and every topic we currently have articles on.
- 200 articles destubbed on Women biographies
- 100 articles destubbed on geo features
- 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.
- As one of the goals of the contest is to particularly target short stubs on small settlements, if you start expanding them and find you can only find between 500 bytes and 1.2 kb of readable prose, don't let that put you off expanding it. Kinlochard is an example of a minimally useful stub just over 500 bytes of readable prose. While the entries won't count towards the main prizes, keep a list of the ones which come short, as the effort will count toward the prize for settlements.
- All paragraphs must be fully sourced, with appropriate title, publisher, author, date information where relevant, no bare urls or poorly formatted sources which 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 which are not verifiable in an existing stub or article, delete those claims before submitting.
- If contestants encounter start/C class even B class articles which are in such an atrocious state, largely unsourced or just badly in need of nuking and restarting as a start class article, contestants are permitted to restart them, providing they have written or rewritten at least 1.2 kb of readable prose themselves, enough to claim that they recreated it. 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.
- If you come across articles which are clearly no longer stubs and don't need much or any sourcing work or expansion, kindly remove the stub tag and update the tags on the talk page to reclassify it.
- To be eligible to win prizes, participants must demonstrate that they've destubbed at least 10 articles.
You can check your entries using this tool before submitting here. The article readable prose, excluding sources and lists will have to be strictly minimum 1200 bytes (1.2 KB) to comply with the contest.
What would make it easier on this is if everybody programs their common.js in their preferences to contain:
importScript('User:Dr_pda/prosesize.js'); // User:Dr pda/prosesize
Instructions:
- Go into your preferences, click on the "Appearances" tab
- Where it says "Shared CSS/JavaScript for all skins:", click "custom javascript
- Paste the command given above into that and save.
- Now approach an article and look in the tools section on the left. You should see "Page size". Click that for each article and you'll quickly get a reading without having to paste text all of the time and look externally.
- Look out for where it says, for example: "Prose size (text only): 1310 B (xxx words) "readable prose size" ". That's what we're looking for on this, that has to read over 1200 B when finished.
Youruba Wikimedians User Group have kindly approved a 50,000 for prizes in the form of Shoprite Gift Card. To be eligible for prizes in any of the categories, you must destub at least 10 articles for your target category.
