Rules

 * All entries must be started/expanded on wikipedia and put forward between 0:00 GMT 1 April and 0:00 GMT 2 May. Any article which has been created or expanded before April won't count towards the contest with points, but may be included in the overall listing of the editathon at the bottom of the main page. At the end of the month, the editor with the highest number of points accumulated will be declared the winner sometime in May. It is important for contestants to note that even though there has to be a "winner", there will be a decent runners-up prize and additional bonus prizes which can be grabbed, and that every article that every participant contributes is a winner for the site. It's meant to be enjoyable and a fun and productive way to contribute above all, so remember that if ever the contest gets heated!
 * A page for participants will be drawn up before the contest begins, where people will list the articles they create/expand and declare if they claim bonus points which will be allocated for banks of core articles and specially designated ones. They will need to show a difference between the original article and the expansion and demonstrate what they have edited singlehandedly. Dr. Blofeld will survey progress and assess whether the entries comply with the contest and are accepted, and will leave either a tick or cross by each article. He will then update a scoreboard himself during the contest once entries are formally approved. Participants are not to update the scoreboard themselves.
 * Articles must be about subjects within Wales itself or somehow Welsh-related (such as a Welsh church in Patagonia or French scholar in Welsh mythology for example). Articles about subjects within Wales itself are preferable, but for those which aren't the Welsh connection must be obvious or fairly clear within the article.
 * For a new article to be entered into the contest it must be a minimum of 1500 bytes (1.5 kb) of readable prose, basically the text in the article, excluding references and photo caption. You can use this tool to check the length of your articles.
 * Existing articles have to be expanded by at least 3000 bytes (3 kb) of readable prose (unless put forward as part of Core Attack) and are expected to be adequately sourced throughout''' to enter the contest. It is not OK to just add 3 kb of readable prose and leave the rest of the original article unsourced or poorly sourced/written and edited. You must demonstrate that the overall quality has also improved.
 * Both existing and new articles must be adequately sourced (no unsourced paragraphs or sources with bare URLs without publisher information and inconsistently formatted) with reliable sources, meet notability guidelines, and be without copyright issues.
 * All entries into the contest itself must be expanded or created to the minimum length and quality requirements by the participant only (unless in the rare case that the editors share the same IP and are a husband/wife/partner team), but it is fine for non-contest participants to further develop the articles once the entry has been approved here. For contributors signed up for the overall editathon rather than the contest, of course articles can be collaborations, though if there are multiple editors involved in getting an article up to GA status they should all be credited with the achievement.
 * If a participant begins editing an article and finds that another participant has also begun to edit it, decide between yourselves who is going to do it and settle it civilly. The same article cannot be submitted by multiple candidates. To avoid this happening, contestants are advised to sign their names by articles on the core list to indicate that it's been reserved and is being worked on.
 * Participants are expected to take extra care in ensuring that their articles comply with the contest and that the bonus points apply. Occasionally the contest may frustrate some editors if articles do not quite meet requirements and have been worked on quite a bit or there is a problem with the scoring. Remain calm, and Dr. Blofeld will try to resolve whatever the problem is quickly. If it is a content issue, it is then the responsibility of the participant to see that the article is changed and ping Dr. Blofeld or contact him on his talk page to reassess it, otherwise it will remain an invalid entry.
 * You can't win the contest just by taking photographs. To qualify you will need to produce a minimum of two articles with no less than 3 kb of readable prose.

Scoring
Scoring figures and relative proportions are subject to change as this contest is being devised but you see the idea, the emphasis is really on core and quality.
 * New articles over 1.5kb in length – 10 points
 * Article expansions – 25 points
 * Good articles (GA)/Featured Articles (FA) – 100 points From 9th April, 200 points


 * Note: Featured articles won't win any extra points for the contest given the time that they generally take to edit and eventually pass FAC, but contestants are free to take articles they get to GA there. You will be awarded the 100 points for getting to minimum GA and can obtain extra points for tackling any of the ones below.

Bonus points

 * Tackling a Level 1 Core article (bold) – 50 points
 * Tackling a Level 2 Core article (unbolded) – 40 points
 * Tackling an article which has not been expanded by more than 1kb readable prose in five years. – 10 points
 * Starting a new article on the missing article hotlist – 10 points
 * Starting/expanding an article on any Welsh woman. It may be in the Women list or any other missing entries you find.– 20 points
 * Giving a reasonable, fair Good Article review of another contestant - 10 points

GA bonuses
For participants to receive extra points in addition to getting an article to GA status from articles highlighted in this section, the articles are expected to be well-researched and reasonably comprehensive with all the relevant aspects covered and not quickly expanded articles, rushed through a review. They'll need to be high quality, resourceful entries to be given the extra points which clearly show that the editor has put a lot of time and research into them. They will be given on top of what you would get for contributing a Good Article (200 points) and tackling a Level 1 core article (50 points). Please make sure you sign your name here and on the core list next to the entry you intend to take on to avoid the chances of two editors reserving the same article. Editors who sign must commit to that article and show evidence of ongoing work on it, otherwise the name may be removed and the opportunity given to somebody else. Articles can be reserved as soon as the contest begins.
