Hi,
These days, we all acknowledge the ideals of quality over quantity and the vital importance of core topics - yet how many really key articles do we each know of in really poor shape? So often missing references, misleading information, or Britannica 1911's bias blight our most crucial articles.
So, to improve this situation, a small group of individuals are announcing a two-week-long contest focusing on Wikipedia's most important articles, running from November 25, 2007 to December 9, 2007. Any of those listed here count for the purposes of the contest. After the two-week period, the authors of the five most improved articles, to be selected by a panel of judges, will win $100 each, provided by Danny. Danny, Alison, and Walkerma will be judging the contest. Entries must be submitted no later than December 9, 2007 at 23:59 UTC. This contest is sponsored privately by a for-profit organization that may use any contributions to generate revenue, as allowed by the GFDL. The Wikimedia Foundation is not a sponsor of this contest.
Please list contest entries here: Wikipedia:The Core Contest/Entries. Good luck!
