Contest rules

To get points for article or other featured content work, the article must fall under the World War I task force Scope (i.e. be tagged with WPMILHIST banner and assessed for the WWI task force), and you must submit the article's information on your submissions page.

  • To receive points for Article Improvement (Level Ups), the article must have been recently assessed prior to your article improvements. This determines beginning Class. In other words, points are given for improving the article, which results in a change in Class, not for simply adding the checklist or changing the Class to suit the current article state. (Note: Exceptions to this rule are articles above B-Class; these have individual review processes which determine Class and do not require the checklist.)
  • Articles or other media raised to any other status (featured or good) must have also been nominated and passed/promoted during the contest period.
  • Don't overload the
    Peer review
    systems. Please note that at FAC, nominators are expected to submit only one article at a time.
  • New articles written for
    Did you know?
    must have been written and nominated during the individual round.
  • You must have written and nominated your
    In the news
    fact during the individual round.
  • To find the "Wikipedia Page Statistics of the Article", go here, change the drop down list to "en-wikipedia", and enter the article.
