Scoring

I have created the page for the Bacon WikiCup 2011. After scoring the Bacon Wikicup 2010, I have made some changes to the scoring and have added some more clear-cut definitions for article expansion. Comparing the first and second, what do you guys think? Anything you think should be different? Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 20:49, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Does/should wikification of an article count like copyediting? LadyofShalott 17:01, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Yep, I would think so. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 19:09, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

I also changed the rule for copy-editing. Instead of six corrections in one article counting as a copy-edit, any ten corrections, regardless of how many articles they take place in, scores a point. Do you think that's fair? ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 19:16, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Idea

Hi and first of all great challenge, I love it. Do you think it would be fair to award half a point for every bacon article tagged with {{WikiProject Bacon}}, and have a quality and importance rating. Thanks, Acather96 (talk) 16:33, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Glad you like it; to tell you the truth, I've been debating with myself for the last few days as to how tagging an article with WikiProject Bacon should be scored. I would figure that doing such should count as categorizing an article, which would award one point. Originally, if I recall correctly, I made it so that categorizing an article would be worth half a point, but figured that round numbers would be cleaner, so I made it one; while I figured that it would perhaps be a bit too weighted to score categorizing an article as a full point, I didn't anticipate brand new, mass-scoped categories to be made and applied to a lot of articles. That's a lot of pointage. I really don't want to reduce the quantitative value of anything, since Cirt went through all that work of tagging, nor do I want to go into decimal places; I think, perhaps, the better option would be to up the value of other contributions, such as article creation being worth, say, 10 points instead of 4. I don't mean to diss out on Cirt's work or anything, and it is my fault for the inbalance on scoring for categories. Thoughts? ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 22:13, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Agree with the emphasis on article quality content improvement, over things like for example minor edits and WikiProject tagging. ;) -- Cirt (talk) 00:46, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and revamped the scoring system, with most content-contributions increased by a factor of four. I tried my best to value contributions fairly, but if anyone sees a better way, do feel free to put it forth. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 00:49, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
