  The Africa Destubathon Entries to be submitted between October 15 and November 27 2016...

{| cellspacing="8" cellpadding="0" style="width: 100%; margin: 0; background-color: #00563B; border: 0; height: 1%;"
 * style="background-color: White; border: 1px solid #FFD700; border-right-width: 2px; border-bottom-width: 2px; padding: 1em 2em 0.5em;" |

This is the main entry page for the Destubathon. All entries are to be submitted here between 0:00 UTC+0 on 15th October and 23:59 UTC+0 on 27th November. If the page gets too large though we'll find a way to address that as the contest proceeds. Remember before submitting entries that there should be no unsourced claims and that it's readable prose which counts, not overall article kb size, exclude references, infoboxes and tables when measuring and just copy the text on the screen and measure it! I've put up a tool in the Measuring tool section which you can all program in to make it easier to measure on that so look out for it and program it! Remember too that it is whoever wins the most destubs for the most countries who will be crowned the contest winner, but there are larger prizes for other aspects like independent Good Article work too. Best of luck and happy editing!

In support of the WikiProject South Africa/Wikipedia Primary School, please consider destubbing any one of the following and you will get a double entry score for it:


 * Children's Act, 2005 (South Africa)
 * Africa Day (for miscellaneous section)
 * Day of Reconciliation (South Africa)
 * Gana and Gwi people (South Africa or Botswana)
 * National Women's Day (South Africa)
 * Makhonjwa Mountains (South Africa)
 * West Coast National Park (South Africa)

Core stubs
 Warning – large page – 280K. Each country, below, links to a list of (much smaller) Core Stub pages for that country only.

Please consider tackling one of the stubs which are ranked higher importance on here in the list on the subpage!

Geography and wildlife stubs
Geography stubs can be found in Category:Africa geography stubs and sub categories by country. Wildlife (or fauna) stub-lists have been prepared for a number of countries, but for the remainder finding wildlife stubs is a little trickier given that many are found in multiple countries and they aren't stub categorized by country, but there are so many stubs that finding one shouldn't be too difficult. Category:Fauna of Africa by region and Category:Flora of Africa by region subcategories and finding specific African nations from Category:Endemic fauna by country and Category:Endemic flora by country should be a good place to start and find articles. The idea is that you can find any stub and improve it, and then elect one country for it to represent, even if found in a dozen or more countries. As long as the article states that that it is found in that country or categorized as such.


 * Fauna stubs – Africa – 145k length

Missing articles
This is a Destubathon, so missing articles in general are not permitted, so as to retain a focus on fleshing out existing entries. However, a number of African countries have very few women bio stubs in relation to men. The amount of women bios is often shockingly low, well under 10%, so it would affect the contest for countries which have less than half a dozen. As a result new minimum 1.5 kb readable prose entries for women biographies and topics will be permitted. No stubs though please, as the goal of this is reducing them overall! You can view a missing list of African women bios here. If interested in working on women articles for this though, try to work on both destubbing existing articles and creating missing articles if you can, as it is a destubbing contest after all and the goal is to reduce the overall stub count by the end!

If you're not entering the contest or feel like creating some new articles on anything you want other than women bios, those will be permitted on the list at the bottom of the main page, but not on this page and won't count towards the contest credits. But some editors might spot some really notable missing articles and feel like contributing. Try to ensure that no new stubs are created though, as this is a Desubathon after all! Only start class entries over 1.5 kb.

Measuring tool
You can check your entries using this tool before submitting here. The article readable prose, excluding sources and lists will have to be strictly minimum 1.5 kb (1500 bytes) to comply with the contest. Stubs expanded and new articles for women must all be minimum that once you've finished the article.

What would make it easier on this is if everybody programs their common.js in their preferences to contain:

importScript('User:Dr_pda/prosesize.js');               // User:Dr pda/prosesize

Instructions:
 * 1) Go into your preferences, click on the "Appearances" tab
 * 2) Where it says "Shared CSS/JavaScript for all skins:", click "custom javascript
 * 3) Paste the command given above into that and save.
 * 4) Now approach an article and look in the tools section on the left. You should see "Page size". Click that for each article and you'll quickly get a reading without having to paste text all of the time and look externally.
 * 5) Look out for where it says, for example: "Prose size (text only): 1684 B (289 words) "readable prose size" ". That's what we're looking for on this, that has to read over 1500 B when finished.

🇩🇿 [[algeria|Algeria]]

 * Select a core or women stub to "destub" from here or browse Category:Algeria stubs and sub categories and find one independently. If tackling an article on the core list, remember to embolden the article here and state "core stub". List your "destubbed" articles under your user name in a subsection below. If you can, try to give a diff of the article expansion work you've done and final readable prose count using the measuring tool. If it's a new article on a woman, state the final readable prose count, as entries all have to be over 1.5kb (1500 characters) to comply with the contest.

There's a lot of copied/superflous text. There's a typo on northern throughout. For a region in the southwest you've still talked about the north of the country which isn't really acceptable. Can you try to edit them a bit to remove some of the generic text and write more unique information about each department for each article. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  19:03, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Done - pls see if it is fine now.Ssriram mt (talk) 07:18, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Marginally but ideally there there still be more original prose for each article. One contestant complained about another copying text earlier in the contest. I'll pass these was the minimum requirement is 1.5 kb I'd rather it was that with the copied text to a minimum than 3 and largely the same.♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:56, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
