:::::@[[User:Dr. Blofeld|Dr. Blofeld]]: Is there any particular reason you believe three months to be too long? It's worth noting that this contest ran last year for the same dates; from what I've read in [[Wikipedia talk:Developing Countries WikiContest/Archive 1#Post-contest reflections|the post-contest discussion]] and elsewhere, the length was not a point of concern for the contestants. The DCWC is also much shorter than the [[WP:CUP|WikiCup]], which lasts almost all year if you qualify for the later rounds. <span class="nowrap">—[[User:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''TechnoSquirrel69'''</span>]]</span> <small>([[User talk:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''sigh'''</span>]])</small> 15:05, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
::::::I personally wouldn't want to commit to three months as a contestant TS. It's a quarter of a year. These probably aren't as time consuming to run as mine but I know mine take a lot of work. I think Wikipedia would be better off doing shorter ones like this more frequently in bursts with periods of intense editing. But if 2024 was successful and the contestants are happy with the duration stick with it, article improvements are always a great thing! I guess if you're including FAs, contestants will need more time to write and get them reviewed.♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span>]] 15:09, 25 June 2025 (UTC)
== Papua New Guinea 50th anniversary DYKs ==
Hello everyone, I am working to develop one or two sets of Papua New Guinea-related [[WP:DYK]]s to run on 16 September, which marks the 50th anniversary of Papua New Guinean independence. If you are writing or expanding an article related to Papua New Guinea, if it is submitted after 16 July (and ideally no later than 2 September) please let me know (or list it at [[WT:DYK]], where hopefully I will create a talkpage section on 16 July). It will be up to the promoters to decide which hooks are used, but any others will still be able to go through the normal DYK process. Best, [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 02:11, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
