Does [[Réunion]], an island in the Indian Ocean next to [[Mauritius]], count for points? [[User:BeanieFan11|BeanieFan11]] ([[User talk:BeanieFan11|talk]]) 20:03, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

:As of right now, no. Neither the International Monetary Fund nor the United Nations have identified it as a developing economy. We could add it to the list by consensus, [[Wikipedia talk:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest/Archive 1#Greenland|like we did for Greenland]], but I'm not sure we want to do that a month and a half into 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> 00:03, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

== ITN ==

If you expand and nominate an article which appeared ITN, does it count for points? <code>[[User:TheNuggeteer|🍗TheNugg]][[User talk:TheNuggeteer|eteer🍗]]</code> 12:54, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

:As per [[Wikipedia:2024_Developing_Countries_WikiContest/Scoring#In_the_news|the scoring page]], yes, if you do significant work on the article. [[User:AirshipJungleman29|&#126;~ AirshipJungleman29]] ([[User talk:AirshipJungleman29|talk]]) 13:01, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

::{{ping|AirshipJungleman29}} According to XTools, I have 23.1 authorship of the article, is it significant enough to gain points? <code>[[User:TheNuggeteer|🍗TheNugg]][[User talk:TheNuggeteer|eteer🍗]]</code> 13:21, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

:::Let's see if it gets posted first. [[User:AirshipJungleman29|&#126;~ AirshipJungleman29]] ([[User talk:AirshipJungleman29|talk]]) 13:35, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

== Points for an entry ==

{{ping|TechnoSquirrel69|Ixtal|sawyer777}} Late to notice this, but I think the points for one of my entries - [[Han Bong-zin]] - might have been calculated incorrectly. As of now, it has the five base DYK points and a 1.5 multiplier for being least-developed. According to the scoring page, {{tq|In addition, DYK appearances for articles that were created during or before 2019 will be awarded at least 5 bonus points. For each additional year prior to 2019, the bonus increases by 1.}} The article for Bong-zin was started in 2011; see [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Han_Bong-zin&action=history&dir=prev here]. Wouldn't that mean it gets 13 extra points for age? Just wondering. [[User:BeanieFan11|BeanieFan11]] ([[User talk:BeanieFan11|talk]]) 23:38, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

:Thanks for bringing this to our attention, [[User:BeanieFan11|BeanieFan11]]! I've made the correction on your submission as well as a handful of submissions from other participants. The bonus points are now noted on your submissions page. Let me know if you have any other questions. <span class="nowrap">—[[User:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''TechnoSquirrel69'''</span>]]</span> <small>([[User talk:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''sigh'''</span>]])</small> 21:13, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest:

'''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Green|WikiProject Women in Green]]''' is holding a ''' month-long [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Green/Meetup/7|Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024]]'''!<br /><br />

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme '''Around the World in 31 Days'''! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least '''31 countries''' (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

== My flag ==

I know this is late into the contest, but I'm wondering if I could have my flag changed to Sao Tome and Principe's for the remaining duration, i.e. {{flagicon|STP}} [[User:Yue|Yue]]. Thank you! <big>[[User:Yue|<span style="color:#757575; font-family:Consolas, monospace">''Yue''</span>]][[User talk:Yue|🌙]]</big> 15:28, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Yue|Yue]]: {{Done}}. <span class="nowrap">—[[User:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''TechnoSquirrel69'''</span>]]</span> <small>([[User talk:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''sigh'''</span>]])</small> 15:44, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

== Post-competition appearances ==

Hello, with this drawing to a close I thought it worth raising the question of what will happen to any FA/GA/DYK nominated before the end of the period but not passing. There may need to be rules for each. GAs may be the easiest to quickly wrap up of these, but FAs are dependent on coordinator decisions, and DYKs are dependent on a couple of steps before the main page even after the DYK passes review.{{pb}}If the decision is to cut of points at status award at 30 September (ie passing of FA/GA, main page appearance of DYK), I think it would still be worth recording any in-process noms somehow, as while points are nice, the benefit of the contest in reducing systematic bias is also met by later article's prompted by the contest. While I expect some to get through in the next few weeks, I did a potential mockup with [[Wikipedia:2024 Developing Countries WikiContest/Submissions/Chipmunkdavis|my current DYKs]], for example. Best, [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 04:01, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Chipmunkdavis|Chipmunkdavis]]: Apologies for the delay; I'm not sure how I missed your question for this long. We had this question come up in the planning phase before the contest, and a compromise that the coordinators agreed on was to accept DYK nominations that had been approved by a reviewer but had not yet appeared on the Main Page on the final day of the contest. GAs and FAs, lacking any clean solution that was discussed, will be treated as usual. <span class="nowrap">—[[User:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''TechnoSquirrel69'''</span>]]</span> <small>([[User talk:TechnoSquirrel69|<span style="color: #0b541f;">'''sigh'''</span>]])</small> 20:32, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

::Thanks. I'll mark anything not reviewed off into its own subsection at the end then, for posterity. [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 01:05, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
