Bacon WikiCup 2012

The Bacon WikiCup 2012, modeled after the Wikipedia WikiCup, is a side event to the Bacon Challenge 2012. In the Bacon WikiCup, all bacon-related contributions done by those participating in the Challenge are submitted here, after which they are scored in a competition to see who can create, expand, and improve the most bacon-related content on Wikipedia. Upon the ending of the Challenge, the Bacon Wikicup 2012 Trophy will be awarded to the contributor with the most points. Awards will be given out to the users who contribute the most in specific categories. Finally, all contributors will receive a medal for their efforts.

All participants in the Challenge will automatically be added to the Bacon WikiCup - simply sign up above.

Things to Work On

Need ideas? Here are some things for you to take a look at if you are at loss for what to work on. Note that the topics provided may or may not be notable, so do be sure to check that a topic is notable and can be reliably sourced before making an article for it. Feel free to expand this list!

• Check out Portal:Bacon/Things you can do for a list of tasks that need completing.

Food

• Bacon chips
• Bacon fries
• Bacon roll. An omnibus article with {{main}} links to articles such as Angels on horseback and Devils on horseback.  Done by Rcsprinter123
• I don't know what this [1] is. But it looks important. "Norrköping Pork is a local specialty candy for Norrköping. It tastes the most vanilla and sugar, but it has an interesting texture." Shame it doesn't taste of bacon, can't have everything, I guess...
• BLT (drink) -  Done by Doh5678
• Foods of Elvis - Not sure on the title, but there are already articles on the "Elvis sandwich" (a.k.a. peanut butter and banana sandiwch with or without bacon), and the Fool's Gold Loaf (which definitely has bacon in it), and I believe there are a couple books and lots of articles on the subject. A bacon hook would be a slam dunk.
• Kurobuta - currently just a redirect.
• Peameal bacon - currently a redirect to bacon, this may help. Done by Rcsprinter123
• Turbaconducken
• Fermanagh's Black bacon official website?
• Find/make a free/fair use image/article for Tactical bacon!

People

• Pierpont Bacon - founder of the Bacon Academy (not actually related to bacon, but he has a cool name)
• W M Wight - well known and historic purveyor of the bacon butty, but this is the only source I can find...  Done by Rcsprinter123

Bacon makers, distributors and companies

• Bacon is the New Black Some sort of consumer product line. May or may not be notable.
• Bacon Makers
• Das Foods - makers of maple bacon lollipops (see their website)
• Father’s Country Hams
• Flying Pigs Farm
• La Quercia
• Newsom’s Aged Kentucky Country Hams
• The Pig Next Door
• The Pork Shop
• Scott Country Hams
• Swiss Meat & Sausage Co.*May not be notable*

Other

• Bacon Apps - yea, um, I suggest you move on to the next choice.
• Bacon bath salts - err, you might wanna skip this one, too, unless you think you can pull it off...
• Bacon in popular culture - currently a redirect to bacon mania, which isn't really the same thing. Everyone on Wikipedia loves "popular culture" articles and they're always embraced for their inherent encyclopedic quality![2]
• Bacon is revolting!
• List of domestic pig breeds - this list contains many redlinks (and yes, domestic pig breeds are considered to be bacon-related for the sake of the Bacon WikiCup).

Bacon related article subjects needing adoption

• Animal (restaurant) - L.A. restaurant known for bacon dishes. EXPAND!
• Bacon vodka
• Fläskpannkaka - Expand?
• List of bacon dishes - some dishes lack descriptions.
• Pig Candy - Might be worth expanding? Very short now.
• Rumaki - Might be ripe for 5x expansion? See Google Books and Google news.
• Vegetarian bacon - Could use an expansion.
