Team2 talk:Record

Shouldn't there be just one place for new entries or improvements of entries? I think the judges should decide what is quality and what is not. ~ Sharon^Talk 21:44, 9 July 2007 (EDT)

What do the judges think? RobS 22:07, 9 July 2007 (EDT)

Spying on team 1

Just like we have this page which includes our individual contest pages all in the one page, we could create another page that includes all team 1's individual pages to make it easier to follow how they are going.

If they do a "What links here" on one of their pages, they will see that we have done so, and they may follow suit, but I don't see that as a problem.

Agreed?

That would be useful. ~ Sharon^Talk 16:50, 10 July 2007 (EDT)

As you can see, we are just barely behind team one in total new pages. This is the biggest area to score points in, and we are doing very well. Congratulations everyone on a superb day! Let's make tomorrow even better. ~ Sharon^Talk 21:50, 10 July 2007 (EDT)

What are you talking about? It is tomorrow! :-) (nearly 1 p.m. here). Philip J. Rayment 22:57, 10 July 2007 (EDT)

Do we get any credit for redirects? RobS 23:51, 10 July 2007 (EDT)

I don't know. I'd tend to think not. ~ Sharon^Talk 06:18, 11 July 2007 (EDT)

We're doing extremely well! Great job everyone! Images are a new way to score points fairly easily. Any new image is worth one point. Two points are added for using it in an article, and two more points are awarded if it is of exceptional quality. Most images from .gov sites are very high quality, and easily used in articles.

Don't go too much out of your way trying to meet the judges' new standards for a quality article. They are rather high, and in the time it takes to meet them, we can create two regular articles, scoring twelve points rather than ten. ~ Sharon^Talk 06:18, 13 July 2007 (EDT)

High 5's

Wow. That was intense. Congrats all the way around. I'm gonna stick with momementum I got & keep building mainspace for a few days, I hate quiting in the middle of a job.

Oh, here's a by-product of the contest: Category:KGB Agents and Sources is now the #9 most linked to Category in CP [1]. We got more proven Commie spies in the Category than Joe McCarthy ever imagined on his alleged list. RobS 00:48, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

Yes, and I wonder how many sysops will continue welcoming new users now that the contest is over! Philip J. Rayment 01:51, 17 July 2007 (EDT)
