Seit Mitte 2006 gab es die sogenannten Hammer-Artikel, welche von Benutzern vorgeschlagen wurden und nach einer erfolgreichen offenen Abstimmung, an der alle Benutzer teilnehmen können, mit dem „Hammer“ ausgezeichnet werden konnten. Als Auszeichnung neu war seit Anfang August 2012 die Auszeichnung eines Gelungenen Artikels, welche zwischen einem nichtausgezeichneten und einem Hammerartikel gesehen wurde.[8] Auch zeichneten die Diktatoren mittels interner Wahl manche Hammer-Artikel als Goldpokalartikel[9] aus. Von den Usern als herausragend anerkannte und in der internen Hall of Fame[10] geführte Artikel wurden nacheinander als Artikel der Woche auf der Hauptseite vorgestellt.

Es gibt auch den Stupid Contest.[11] Ziel war es, bis zu einem bestimmten Stichtag den besten Artikel zu einem vorgegebenen Thema zu verfassen und sich gegen die anderen Teilnehmer durchzusetzen. Die Jury, bestehend aus sehr aktiven Usern, verteilte Punkte in den Kategorien Humor, Sprache und Gestaltung/Layout. Ausgetragen wurde dieser in meist rund zweimonatlichen Zeitabständen und sollte gezielt zu qualitativ höherwertige Beiträge zu festgelegten Schwerpunkten führen.

Competitions and projects

Hammer articles have been intoduced in 2006. They are suggested by users, then voted on and finally awarded with a hammer. Since August 2012 it is also possible to award articles as gelungene Artikel (English: well written article). The dictators can award some hammer articles as Goldpokalartikel (English literally: gold trophy article) via an internal vote amongst the dictators. Any article that is recognized as outstanding by the community and has been added to the hall of fame is featured on the homepage.

Apart from that there is also a Stupid contest. The competition consisted of users having to write an article on a certain topic. The jury, which is made up of particularly active users, score the articles in different categories like humor, language and layout. It was typically held every two months and was meant to help come up with high quality articles.

Comments

 * Maybe start with "So-called Hammer articles have been introduced in 2006." (just a suggestion, I feel like it gets straight to the topic, but I don't know if this is a good or bad thing :D)
 * Apart from that , there...
 * The jury, which was made up of particularly active users, scored ...
 * was meant to help creating high quality articles
 * You seem to have the same problem that I had regarding tense: The sentences start with "Es gibt den Hammerwettbewerb", but then they continue with past tense, suggesting that it does not exist any longer. So I was not sure if I should translate all into past tense, but I kept it like you did (beginning in present form, then it continues with past tense). We both should probably keep it that way and look over the other articles in the end, if each of our group maintains this style as well :)

Des Weiteren existierte ein Stupid Art Contest, bei dem selbst erstellte Bilder und Fotomontagen bewertet wurden und der versuchte, ein breiteres Spektrum an Hobbykünstlern zu erfassen, um die Problematik der Bilder mit nicht nachvollziehbarer Nutzungserlaubnis durch eigens für die Stupidedia geschaffene zu verbessern und darüber hinaus auf künstlerischer Ebene eine gewisse Unverwechselbarkeit herzustellen.

Ein kleinerer Wettbewerb war der sogenannte Stub des Monats, der monatlich stattfand. Dort konnten überarbeitete Artikel eingereicht werden, die vor der Überarbeitung entweder zu kurz waren oder wegen starker inhaltlichen Schwächen in der Liste der Qualitätsoffensive (QO) aufgeführt wurden. Die allgemeine Beteiligung am Wettbewerb war meist erheblich geringer als beim Stupid Contest. Auch beim Stub des Monats wurde der Sieger durch Userabstimmung gekürt.

Seit dem Sommer 2012 existierte zusätzlich zum Stupid Contest ein Mini-Contest. Dem wurde in der Regel eine geringere Aufmerksamkeit als dem Stupid Contest zu teil. Er wurde in unregelmäßigen Abständen ausgetragen, zu jeder Contest-Ausgabe gab es ein spezielles Thema, nach denen sich die teilnehmenden Autoren richten mussten.

Furthermore existed a  Stupid Art Contest, where different self-created images and photomontages were voted on. The contest tried to reach out for a big range of hobby artists for two reasons: Firstly, using their images on Stupidedia would circumvent the problem of depicting images with unknown copyright sources. The second reason was to create a certain artistic uniqueness of Stupidedia.

A smaller contest was the 'Stub des Monats' (English: stub of the month), taking place each month. Participants could submit their own edited versions of articles that were originally either too short or registered on the list of the quality campaign due to heavy content-related deficiencies. The general participation in the stub contest was most of the time lower than in the Stupid Contest. Each monthly winner was elected by the users.

Starting summer 2012, a mini-contest was introduced aside from the Stupid Contest, even though it was not given as much attention. The mini-contest was held irregularly and each contest edition introduced a specific topic that participants had to comply with.

Comment
“Furthermore, there existed...“ ?

“Starting in summer 2012,...“ ?

Well done!

Das Artikelduell war eine Möglichkeit, bei der sich Autoren gegenseitig um den besseren Artikel messen konnten.[15] Hierbei suchten sich zwei Autoren jeweils einen Artikel aus, mit denen sie gegeneinander antreten wollen und bestimmten den Zeitpunkt, zu dem beide Autoren ihr Werk fertiggestellt haben mussten. Nach der Beendigung der Schreibzeit konnte jeder User der Stupidedia abstimmen, welchen er besser findet. Der Autor bzw. der Artikel mit den meisten Stimmen wurde zum Sieger des Duells erklärt.

Bei dem Stupid Literature Contest[16] handelte es sich um einen unregelmäßigen Wettbewerb, wobei das Thema so ausgelegt war, dass die Autoren mit ihren teilnehmenden Artikeln den Diverses-Namensraum füllen. Die Contestbeiträge wurden von einer Jury bewertet.

Erstmals veranstaltete die Stupidedia den Interwiki-Contest im August 2012 bis zum September 2012, wo – anders als beim Stupid Contest – die Konkurrenzwikis Kamelopedia und Uncyclopedia teilnehmen sollten. Dies wurde jedoch wieder abgebrochen, weil ein Mangel an Teilnehmern aus den anderen Wikis herrschte.

The article duell was an opportunity for authors to contest against each other for the better article. Two authors chose one article each with which they wanted to compete and determined a deadline for their work. After this, every user of Stupipedia could vote for the article they liked the most. The author or rather the article with the most votes was nominated as the winner of the duell.

The Stupid Literature Contest was an irregular competition. The topic was created in a way that the authors could fill the Diverses namespace with their articles. The contributions were evaluated by a jury.

The first Interwiki contest took place from August, 2012 to September, 2012 in which - in contrary to the Stupid contest - the competing Wikis Kamelopedia and Uncyclopedia should join. However, this contest was stopped because of the shortage of members from other Wikis.

 * I would write Duell with a capital D.
 * The author, ( I would use a comma here) or rather the ...
 * was an irregular competition: here I would use "sporadic" or "intermittent". Irregular reminds me of verbs. Haha. :D
 * no commas between "August 2012 and September 2012, in which"
 * the competing Wikis Kamelopedia and Uncyclopedia should join - here I think the meaning is: teilnehmen sollten = "were supposed to join". Not sure, though.
 * Great work! ^_^

Sonstiges Das Projekt machte auch dadurch auf sich aufmerksam, dass es bestimmte Ereignisse aus dem Weltgeschehen in einem Großprojekt aus mehreren Artikeln und dem zugehörigen Umfeld parodierte. So wurde zum Beispiel der Irakkrieg in den Spiegelwelten als „Ozeanienkonflikt“ dargestellt.[17]

Das umfassendste Großprojekt dieser Art war die Parodie auf die Fußball-Europameisterschaft 2008, welche in der Stupidedia als Universumsfußballmeisterschaft 2008 parodiert wurde.[18] Diese war – aus fiktiven Staaten und deren Mannschaften – bis ins kleinste Detail von den einzelnen Autoren organisiert und veröffentlicht worden. Eine zweite Auflage unter dem Titel Universumsfußballmeisterschaft 2010 fand parallel zur Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft 2010 statt,[19] eine dritte Meisterschaft wurde parallel zur EM 2012 ausgetragen.[20]

Der satirischen Eigendarstellung der Stupidedia gemäß ist die Wikipedia eine Parodie auf die Stupidedia.[21]

Seit dem Jahr 2014 gab es das Projekt Stupidedia hilft!, dort können User alle möglichen Fragen stellen und die „Experten“ der Stupidedia beantworteten diese in einer satirischen Weise.[22]

'''Added the proofreader's commments. All done! Sorry if I was late. <3'''

Miscellaneous

The project also attracted attention by parodying certain events from world affairs in a large project consisting of several articles. For example, the Iraq war was portrayed in the category named Spiegelwelten as an “Oceania conflict”. The most comprehensive large-scale project of this kind was the parody of the 2008 European Football Championship, which was parodied in the Stupidedia as the 2008 The Football Championship of the Universe. [18] It was organized and published by individual authors who wrote very extensive articles and went into great detail, including creating fictional countries and the according teams. A second edition, the Football Championship of the Universe 2010, was organized simultaneously to the 2010 FIFA World Cup. And a third one concurrently with the 2012 European Championship. The satirical self-portrayal of Stupidedia corresponds to a parodic form of Wikipedia.

Since 2014 there is a project named Stupidedia hilft!, where users can ask all kinds of questions and the “experts” from Stupidedia answer them in a satirical manner.

 Hey, CuscoBirdie here :) As far as I have understood it, I'd say: The satirical self-portrayal ofStupidedia corresponds to a parodic form of Wikipedia. (Somebody please correct this if you think it's falsely interpreted)

Proofreaders notes:
 * I'd rephrase the 3rd sentence to something like this: It was organized and published by individual authors who wrote very extensive articles and went into great detail, including creating fictional countries and the according teams.
 * the next: A second edition, the Football Championship of the Universe 2010, was organized simultaneously to the 2010 FIFA World Cup. And a third one concurrently with the 2012 European Championship.
 * I like CuscoBirdie's suggestion for the sentence!
 * Nice work!
