Wikipedia:Wikipedia Asian Month/Q&A

Postcard

 * Q: How many postcards can one individual get?
 * A: Each Wikipedian who accomplishes the requirements on one Wikipedia will receive one. If one user attends the event on two languages and accomplishes both, the user will receive two postcards. Local organizers will receive one postcard for each Wikipedia the user is organizing (We need contributors to make efforts rather than just have the names on the page; Maximum five each Wikipedia).
 * Q: Does it mean if I create 10 articles on one Wikipedia, I will receive two postcards?
 * A: No. Five articles are the requirement to be accomplished.
 * Q: What is the maximum number of postcards that a user can get?
 * A: Seven
 * Q: Which country's postcard will I receive?
 * A: The addresses will be randomly distributed, so no one knows until you receive it.
 * Q: I'm worried about my privacy.
 * A: We will only collect each recipient's address information and username. The address will only be shared with the affiliate who will be sending postcards; the username will not be shared. All information will be deleted immediately once the addresses have been distributed.
 * Q: I haven't received my postcard(s) for three months, what should I do?
 * A: Due to the unreliable mail service in various countries, it may be possible that you didn't get the postcards on time. However, we assure you that we have sent and dispatched the postcards. Please understand that this is a common issue in postcard sending.
 * Q: I live in or I am from one of the postcard sending countries or regions, can I choose to not get postcard from that country or region?
 * A: We will give you the option when we collect the address. You can choose one country or region that you don't want your postcard sent from.

Wikipedia Asian Ambassadors

 * Q: If I achieve the most number of articles in more than one Wikipedia, do I get multiple titles of the "Ambassador"?
 * A: You will have the title on each language version of Wikipedia where you achieve most number of articles, while the second person on the Wikipedia you contribute less articles will also be honored as a Wikipedia Asian Ambassador.
 * Q: What do I get from being honored as a Wikipedia Asian Ambassador?
 * A: You will have your name displayed on various Wikipedia Asian Month project pages, a specially designed ribbon bar for your user page, an additional postcard and a digital certificate!
 * Q: What if two or more editors tie for the highest number of articles in one version of Wikipedia?
 * A: There will be only one Ambassador on each language version of Wikipedia, so the Wikipedians who contribute the same number of articles will be re-ranked by their bytes count of total articles they created. Expanded article won't count for the sake of tie-breaking. We will consider giving the Ambassador title to the second person if the contribution is far more above average.

Rule

 * Q: If I write a Feature article, does it mean more points?
 * A: No. This is not an article competition. However, we do encourage you to write a better quality article.
 * Q: Will my edit before November be counted from editing draft page or user subpage?
 * A: No. However, you can move the content from the draft page instead of moving the draft page.
 * Q: I don't live in an Asian country. Can I still participate?
 * A: Yes. There is no limit on that.
 * Can an IP user participate?
 * A: Due to the restriction of wmflab and our tool, IP user can not participate. We strongly recommend you to register an account, which actually protect your privacy.
 * Q: If an article subject (person) is Asian but not born in Asia, will it count?
 * A: No. But a person who is born in Asia but gets his/her notability outside Asia will count.
 * Q: If an article subject (person) is not Asian but his work contributes to promote asian culture, will it count?
 * A: Yes. People who get their notability only in Asia while born outside Asia can count.
 * Q: Can I translate articles from other language?
 * A: Yes
 * Q: Does a list qualify?
 * A: No. Due to the complicated nature of selecting which kind of list are eligible and which are not, for simplicity of the rules, lists are not eligible. But in some Wikipedias, if the list article is promoted as Featured list, it can be counted.
 * Q: May I use earlier articles in the contest?
