Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular Biology/Computational Biology/ISCB-LA SoIBio BioNetMx Wikipedia Competition

The ISCB-Latin America SoIBio BioNetMX 2022 conference is pleased to host it’s first ever Wikipedia competition association with the conference. The competition is structured based on the annual Wikipedia competition run by the ISCB and the Computational Biology taskforce of WikiProject Molecular Biology.

Wikipedia has become an important way to communicate all types of science to the public and the ISCB aims to further its mission by increasing the quality of Wikipedia coverage of related topics, and by improving accessibility to this information via Wikipedia. This competition aims to improve Wikipedia's coverage of any topic relating to ISCB's Bioinformatics Core Competencies (see table to the right).

The competition is open to students and postdocs, either as individuals or as groups. Prizes for first, second, and third place will be awarded during the closing ceremonies of the ISCB-Latin America SoIBio BioNetMX 2022 conference.

How to enter
The competition will open on 1 May 2022 and close on 15 September 2022. For each entry that is claimed in the competition, the difference in quality between these two dates will be reviewed. Contributions made before the opening date or after the closing date will not be counted, although contributions may be made at any point within the competition period.

Entered articles must have a demonstrable link to one (or more) of the ISCB Bioinformatics Core Competencies.

A list of 'start-class' quality articles rated as being of high importance for WikiProject Computational Biology is available: any of the articles in this list would be an excellent starting point for a competition entry. Alternatively, a list of the most popular computational biology articles is available: these are generally towards the higher end of the quality scale; however, any improvements to these articles would be more visible. A list of previous winning articles of the ISCB Wikipedia Competition is provided at the end of the page. Below, we list a few articles that are considered to be of particularly good quality and would be good examples to follow:


 * Multiple sequence alignment
 * Rosetta@home
 * Metagenomics

Non-English language articles are also welcome. These articles may be original articles, or they can also be translations of Wikipedia articles between languages. Please note on the entry page if the article is a translation.

English and Other languages
Please register your interest by typing the following text while logged in as a registered Wikipedia user (for LanguageCode, see the "Wiki" column in this list of Wikipedias): This will display your claim on an article in interwiki syntax in the following way, using the Japanese (ja) article on metagenomics (メタジェノミクス) as an example:


 * ja:メタジェノミクス -- Daniel Mietchen (talk) 13:45, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

For an article to be accepted into the contest, it has to be approved by a user who actually understands that language, and by a member of the jury (the two can be identical). Translations from other Wikipedia languages are welcome but have to be indicated as such. Please add your claims (no more than two in total across the English and non-English competitions) below (please order them alphabetically, so that duplicates are easily detectable):

Training
To make the best possible contribution to Wikipedia, it is important to understand what content is desirable there and how best to go about editing it. If you're new to Wikipedia, we recommend taking an online training course: User:Rockpocket/Training and The Wikipedia Adventure are particularly useful.

We also strongly recommend that entrants read the PLOS Computational Biology article describing 10 Simple Rules for Editing Wikipedia.
