How long does the contest last? DanH 19:36, 27 September 2007 (EDT)
- I believe it goes until next Friday. I'll try to get that verified--Tash 19:42, 27 September 2007 (EDT)
- Nice graphic and name, Tash! I would really double check with Ed Poor about his participation....I will be talking to him later and attempt to nail him down. --şŷŝôρ-₮KṢρёаќǃ 19:40, 27 September 2007 (EDT)
- Tash, what is the /2 or /3 by the names on the contest page? I already have such a page from the last one....Nice "editing" today! I was watching you. ;-) --şŷŝôρ-₮KṢρёаќǃ 20:01, 27 September 2007 (EDT)
- I thought some people might want to keep their old contest pages but since you brought it up I'll leave that up to you guys to decide. Thanks TK--Tash 20:06, 27 September 2007 (EDT)
- Whatever, I'm confused (I've confused myself!!...) do whatever you want:) I just blanked my old page and am going to use that--Tash 20:15, 27 September 2007 (EDT)
I like the pic, Tash. I was going to come up with some sort of corny "let's bomb 'em" battle call but I decided against it :) HelpJazz 21:22, 27 September 2007 (EDT)
- No, we are not transferring points from the last contest. Some people may just be jumping at the gun a little early...--Tash 08:59, 28 September 2007 (EDT)
Strategy
Please add team strategy information to this list:
Here are some general ideas I have found and thought of:
- Creating articles on the Founding fathers (go to the article and see all the “red” links)
- Add all the terms to American Government Terms, and get half a point for each each.
- Create articles on United States Governors (go to the article and see all the “red” links).
Remember to read the point system so you know how to use your strategy most effectively.--Tash 10:21, 28 September 2007 (EDT)
