Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest/Judging

Some tips for how to judge the contest:

The contest will kick off on November 1. Though a bot has been programmed to auto check new entries for readable prose count, judges may (whatever you do is optional but the largest rewards will go to those who reasonably consistently make an effort throughout the month on a range of areas):

• a] Perform random/casual checks of articles, double check for length/referencing. Sign your names after the bot for those which have been double checked. Make sure that your comments are on ** double bullet new lines underneath what the what has done to avoid conflict with the bot.
• b] Check British entries have the required 1.5 kb of readable prose to be eligible for the WMUK prize (the bot is programmed to only read 1 kb as minimum).
• b] Read random articles and copyedit where necessary.
• c] Perform random checks for copyright or paraphrasing.
• d] Help editors who might have language barrier issues or questions. Some editors may have difficulty writing proficiently in English when it isn't their native tongue. Show patience towards those editors and help copyedit their articles where possible.
• e] Deal with editors who may produce problematic content and offer advice or make the decision to either help or ban an editor from submitting if one warning isn't sufficient.
• f] Check that articles do meet notability guidelines, particularly BLPs.
• g] Help to gather entries submitted for the contest on the main article achievements list if people forget, and to maintain the percentage tables and scoreboard.
• h] Report errors by the bot, or recurrent glitches or problems to Emirjp.
• i] Run new page patrols for editors creating women biographies and try to recruit new editors to adding their articles to our contest
