:I'd say they should qualify if they're specifically about developing countries. So fair trade and decolonization wouldn't really count under that metric, since those apply to most countries. And maybe they shouldn't be subject to multipliers, because the point of giving bonus points to least developed countries is because those ones need specific attention. On a similar point, I'd say that any topic relating to Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Pacific Islands, or Asia in general should count for non-multiplied points as well.

:Thanks, [[User:AddWittyNameHere|AddWittyNameHere]]! Yes, these articles absolutely do count. For subjects that could be submitted under multiple countries, you can take your pick as to which one — a "least developed" country if applicable, since that would give you the 1.5× points multiplier. <span class="nowrap">—[[User:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''TechnoSquirrel69'''</span>]]</span> <small>([[User talk:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''sigh'''</span>]])</small> 03:08, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

== Qualifying reviews list ==

In the "Review requests" box, should there be a second list below the requests, listing all other open reviews that would qualify for points? That way we don't demand every participant try to find qualifying reviews on their own, and it might help get more reviews done overall.

I took the initiative and created [[Wikipedia:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest/Eligible reviews]]. Move it, transclude it, ignore it, whatever you want, but I'm willing to keep it updated.

:My response {{em|was}} going to be that it sounds like a great idea, but might be difficult to maintain. If you've got it covered, though, let's run with it. I'll link the page in relevant places when I can sit down to edit. Thanks for being proactive on this! <span class="nowrap">—[[User:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''TechnoSquirrel69'''</span>]]</span> <small>([[User talk:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''sigh'''</span>]])</small> 01:27, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
