Wikipedia talk:Finland100 challenge

Nice idea

Hello to you the organizers of the challenge : it's a nice idea. I just have one question : why only these 100 articles ? I'm a french contributor, and i've checked the list and there are only 16 articles not existing in french ! Can't we participate also with free articles (so many places, actresses, writers, painters are missing) ? Thank you ! Sg7438 (talk) 16:02, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

We agreed to concentrate on quality and hence to limit the number. We also wanted to be able to provide a reviewed (FA/GA/OK) Finnish version for each subject. I think there may be something to improve also in the 84 existing articles - more inline citations, perhaps? Your contributions to free subjects are obviously welcome - but you do not get points from them. --Tappinen (talk) 16:48, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok... thank you and as he said the essential is to have participated. So good luck to the others ! Sg7438 (talk) 16:54, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Problem

Hello to the team : my french article fr:Diète de Porvoo (fi:Porvoon valtiopäivät), is not counted as a creation... but it is new (created on a redirection page)... Someone could check that (here), and rectify if applicable ? Thank you ! Sg7438 (talk) 13:45, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for notice, will be fixed before the end of month. --Tappinen (talk) 15:00, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Adjustment of scoring rules

These scoring rules have been used in Finnish and in Norwegian for years, but Suomi100 is the first time we have logographic languages (Japanese and Chinese) participating. It has been suggested, that the rule "0.25 points for each word of readable text in articles. Bonus 5 points for 100 words." would be followed by definition to "In alphabetic languages a "word" is text between two spaces, in logographic languages the counterpart is here calculated by dividing the number of characters by 3."

To assess if the present rules seem unfair, have a look at the first Japanese entry - full page about Kurjenrahka national park, counts as 8 words. If you want to see how large the suggested change is, you can have a look at a test run at fi:Käyttäjä:UKBot/Sandbox using a factor of 2 characters per word for zh and a factor of 3 for ja.

Discussion about these changes will continue for 24 hours from time stamp of this message. Sincere apologies for not thinking about this large diversity between languages earlier. --Tappinen (talk) 05:20, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Any userbox planned?

I see {{User Asian Month‎}} for Wikipedia Asian Month, so just wonder if there will be one for Finland100 challenge too ;) --ネイ (talk) 13:40, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No we had not thought about it. Yet. But, we have a special decoration for all participants to be delivered in the end of month... --Tappinen (talk) 14:59, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

.. and of course, there is {{User WPFinnish}}. --Tappinen (talk) 15:01, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much!--ネイ (talk) 06:41, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Finding the best articles...

If you want to find those articles which are already FA or GA in Finnish or English, you can peek at this table fi:Wikiprojekti:Suomi 100/Taulukko. --Tappinen (talk) 19:02, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Images

Hello to the Team.

The Scoring Rules say, that you get 5 pts per image. Obviously I got only pts for bytes for the two images I added to Finnische Fußballnationalmannschaft der Frauen. Have I misunderstood the rule or doesn't the bot know that I added images? --Geher (talk) 11:45, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You understand the rule. Perhaps the bot did not know "Datei" is an image. You can change to "File", meanwhile I ask the botmaster. Sorry for delay, I have been traveling. --Tappinen (talk) 21:14, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article not counted

Hi,

My new article sv:Datorspelsindustrins historia i Finland is not beting counted at all by the bot. Have I missed something or is the bot malfunctioning? Slackernrrd (talk) 15:38, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Really weird. There is something wrong with wikidata, when I look in the English version I see no link to Svenska. We will find out. --Tappinen (talk) 21:10, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How strange! Thank you for looking in to it. Slackernrrd (talk) 07:05, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
