== Question(s) ==

I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:2024_Developing_Countries_WikiContest/Submissions/BeanieFan11&diff=prev&oldid=1232212164 submitted] my first entry. Just wondering: did I format that properly? Also, is there a leaderboard for this competition [[Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2024|like there is]] for the WikiCup? Thanks, [[User:BeanieFan11|BeanieFan11]] ([[User talk:BeanieFan11|talk]]) 15:24, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

:Looks fine to me. [[Wikipedia:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest/Leaderboard|Yes]], but it's not live yet. – <code style="background:#333;border:1px solid #999">[[User:Hilst|<span style="color:#fff;text-shadow:0 0 5px #fff">Hilst</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Hilst|<span style="color:#090">&lbrack;talk&rbrack;</span>]]</code> 15:52, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

:The proper ISO country code in this case would be [[ISO 3166-2:KP|KP]]. Aside from that looks fine to me, {{u|BeanieFan11}}. — ♠ [[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> ♠ 21:27, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

== International organizations ==

Do articles on [[international organization]]s, [[trade bloc]]s, and other unions consisting of mainly or only developing countries count for points (like [[Mercosur]], [[African Union]], [[Arab League]], [[Commonwealth of Independent States]], or even [[Group of 77]])? Do we just pick a country to submit under, as described [[Wikipedia talk:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest#Articles related to developing countries in a broader/general sense, rather than specific developing countries|above]]?

:yes, i would count those since they have demonstrable connection & significance to developing countries. due to how the bot works, you should just pick ''a'' country flag that works using the ISO code - with intergovernmental orgs, i'd go with whichever country the org is headquartered in (e.g. Russia for CIS). <span style="color:#618A3D">...
