Is the country Bangladesh under this contest? [[User:Mehedi Abedin|Mehedi Abedin]] ([[User talk:Mehedi Abedin|talk]]) 00:54, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

:It is; see {{slink|Wikipedia:2024_Developing_Countries_WikiContest/Scoring#"Least_developed"_countries}}. <span class="nowrap">—[[User:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''TechnoSquirrel69'''</span>]]</span> <small>([[User talk:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''sigh'''</span>]])</small> 01:50, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

== submissions? ==

how will a submissions system work for this? should we use the same system as the WikiCup? or something else... i have very little preference on that front, but i'd like to require submissions to designate which country they're submitting for. <span style="color:#618A3D">...

:Yeah it could be the same system as the WikiCup with additional rule that submissions must include the ''primary'' country claimed. For example, if one did the [[Eritrean–Ethiopian border conflict]] they could claim it as either, but the bonus multiplier will depend on that explicit choice made by the submitter. — ♠ [[User:Ixtal|Ixtal]] ^{( [[User talk:Ixtal|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/Ixtal|C]] )} &#8258; <small> [[Non nobis solum]]. </small> ♠ 00:39, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

::great idea! (although both Eritrea & Ethiopia are least developed, so it wouldn't matter for the multiplier). i think we could allow people to include multiple countries in their submissions, but only claim one for multiplier & point purposes. i think it would be fine for someone to submit a Nagorno-Karabakh conflict article (for example) for both Armenia and Azerbaijan & get credit towards the "most countries covered" award for both, though. hope that makes sense <span style="color:#618A3D">...

:Like I mentioned earlier somewhere, I don't think we'll be dealing with a volume of submissions large enough to merit subpages WikiCup-style; at least not for now. A regular backlog drive–style page with sections for each participant should work just fine, maybe with a couple of columns to track the number of submissions and coordinator-approved points. I like the idea of "claiming" the country or countries that have been expanded with the submission — maybe just a {{tl|flagicon}} or two before the links, which would give the page some color. I know [[WP:WPWIR|Women in Red]] sometimes does that. <span class="nowrap">—[[User:TechnoSquirrel69|TechnoSquirrel69]]</span> ([[User talk:TechnoSquirrel69|sigh]]) 05:08, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

::this works for me; i agree that there is not a real need for subpages (which would also be a lot of maintenance) & a single page will probably be fine. flagicons sounds fun :) <span style="color:#618A3D">...

I've never participated in any of these events. Reading the rules it mentions a submission page. Can somebody point me in the right direction as to how to set it up? [[User:HarveyPrototype|HarveyPrototype]] ([[User talk:HarveyPrototype|talk]]) 23:00, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:HarveyPrototype|HarveyPrototype]]: The submissions page is still under construction, but you can find it at [[Wikipedia:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest/Submissions]]. Both it and the main project page will be updated with more information when relevant. <span class="nowrap">—[[User:TechnoSquirrel69|TechnoSquirrel69]]</span> ([[User talk:TechnoSquirrel69|sigh]]) 23:02, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

::Thank you [[User:HarveyPrototype|HarveyPrototype]] ([[User talk:HarveyPrototype|talk]]) 01:07, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

::Do we submit the article after they've been reviewed? In draft form? Complete the article and share it for submission? [[User:HarveyPrototype|HarveyPrototype]] ([[User talk:HarveyPrototype|talk]]) 02:06, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

:::{{u|HarveyPrototype}}, point scoring milestones are only available for published articles, so drafts would not qualify. You can see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2022/Submissions/A._C._Santacruz&oldid=1066835396 my 2022 WikiCup submissions page] to see how articles are submitted for points, for example. — ♠ [[User:Ixtal|Ixtal]] ^{( [[User talk:Ixtal|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/Ixtal|C]] )} &#8258; <small> [[WP:2024DCWC|Sign up for the 2024 DCWC!]] — [[Non nobis solum]] </small> ♠ 04:27, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

::::Ok lets see if I understand.

::::1. Where do I find the project page DCWC/2024/Submissions/{user} in order to create my submission page.

::::I would like to see if a couple of participations are considered. The first would be [[Cooperative University of Colombia]] it was a stump but since I was working on a list which mentioned the university I proceeded to add the information that I knew.

::::The second would be the following [[List of universities in Ecuador]]

::::And finally I've been working on the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ecuador]] to organize it and make it more readable see:[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ecuador/Missing articles]] [[User:HarveyPrototype|HarveyPrototype]] ([[User talk:HarveyPrototype|talk]]) 01:33, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

:::::@[[User:HarveyPrototype|HarveyPrototype]]: The current plan is to have all participants' submissions on [[Wikipedia:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest/Submissions|a single page]]; each editor will get a sub-heading to list their work. The two articles you've linked should fall within the scope of this contest, though the coordinators may want to chime in on that. However, you will have to put the article through one of the processes listed at [[Wikipedia:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest/Scoring|the scoring page]] to get points. Also, note that the contest only opens for submissions on July 1. And while WikiProject organization is a valuable and appreciated addition to the project, this contest is content-focused — "back-end" contributions don't fall within its scope. <span class="nowrap">—[[User:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''TechnoSquirrel69'''</span>]]</span> <small>([[User talk:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''sigh'''</span>]])</small> 03:49, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

:::::@[[User:HarveyPrototype|HarveyPrototype]]: Plans have changed! Participants will now have dedicated subpages for their submissions owing to the number of editors who have signed up so far. More information will be forthcoming towards the start of the contest. <span class="nowrap">—[[User:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''TechnoSquirrel69'''</span>]]</span> <small>([[User talk:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''sigh'''</span>]])</small> 01:42, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
