Wikipedia talk:The 2500 Challenge (Nordic)

Hur mår du?♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:48, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Contest

The output here in just two weeks has been excellent, really impressive!! You're currently outdoing the UK! At this rate we'll have to make it 10,000 ;-) I reckon a National Contest is due sometime, I say Sweden first, Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic)/National Swedish Contest. Is there an editor here living in Sweden or Swedish nationality? Wikimedia are always keen on people within their home nations running things like that, and it's something which could possibly also involve Swedish wiki and try to produce some manual articles other than Lj bot ;-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:48, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

Norway

Things are indeed generally going very well but unfortunately there are very few entries on Norway. Dr. Blofeld: It might be worthwhile posting another message on WikiProject Norway. I am also alerting Ters, Jon Harald Søby (WMNO), Egil, robertgreer, iselilja, Marek69, Ardfern and McLennonSon. They in turn could then inform other editors who might be interested. I think it's a great pity not more is being contributed on Norway as the Norwegians are usually very enthusiastic editors.--Ipigott (talk) 12:51, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Geschichte was always one of the best editors on here, but doesn't seem interested.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:53, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

The introduction of an QPQ rule over at DYK instantaneously killed my interest in project pages. Geschichte (talk) 16:50, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

@Geschichte: Haha, I know what you mean, I hated it too, but this has nothing to do with DYK. We have our own rules, and we could even have our own feature on regional DYKs with no silly rules or people pulling from from the queue! Would love you to be a part of this as Norway is underrepresented here, and next year we could run a few national contests for Norway, Sweden, Denmark etc or editathons etc to attract more people.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:10, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge

Hi, I've started this. What would people like to do, obviously we'll keep the 1000 Challenge running independently but OK if we "tip" entries into the 10,000 one after every hundred articles, or do we remain completely independent of it?♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:53, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Quality criteria ?

Should I remove Marcus Collin from the list as it is not good enough ? --Tappinen (talk) 07:14, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

The European Destubathon

@Ipigott:, @Yakikaki: , @MrLinkinPark333: and co. Tell me guys, if I was to design a Nordic Destubathon/contest like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, do most of the work in drawing up the contest and article lists, but allow multiple people to run it to make it easy to run together, rather than just me, would you be interested in seeing this happen for the Nordic countries? And would you like to some National Contests created and being run, such as for Denmark, Sweden and Norway etc? There is a way I could come up with a design for a national Danish contest for instance like Awaken the Dragon, and also involving Danish wikipedia at the same time, and people running it wouldn't have to do the heavy work I regularly do in running them, because all of the infrastructure would be in place and as part of the contest contestants can quickly check length/sourcing on each other's entries so overall the time needed per person to run it would be minimal. Interested? ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:02, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Dr. Blofeld: Why not make it a Nordic contest from the start? It seems to me there are not too many editors working on each of the Nordic countries to make it worthwhile running separate contests for each country. If things are combined for the Nordic countries, there will also be an element of competition between the countries themselves which should help things along. More general improvements could also be made on articles about Scandinavia and its history. So I would certainly support a Nordic or Scandinavian Destubathon, maybe also extended to general quality improvement up to B class, GA and FA. I'm not too sure how it would interface with the European Destubathon. cc @Ramblersen, Tappinen, Vejlenser, Furius, and Geschichte:--Ipigott (talk) 14:09, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Yes, a general one. But in terms of national contests I was thinking of ones which also involve Danish/Swedish/German wikipedia which can be run multilingually and benefit several wikis at once, not just English.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:20, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

I think a Nordic destubathon would be great. I think allowing for all Nordic countries would cover more ground than separate destubathons per country. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 15:51, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

2500

Would you like to move this to a 2500 challenge now? Some good work still coming in,♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:22, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Yes, please go ahead. I have quite a number of articles I could add too.--Ipigott (talk) 07:37, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Uralic language contest 2019

I encourage you to participate on Uralic language contest 2019 and list English articles created or expanded on this contest in the 2500 Nordic Challenge! Plenty of articles missing! --Agusbou2015 (talk) 19:33, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

FYI

@Yakikaki Hello, I've added two articles here which you added to the European Challenge page, because these are part of this, hope it's okay. Egeymi (talk) 08:36, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Of course, thanks @Egeymi:! Yakikaki (talk) 08:40, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

But you reverted my edit. They cannot be put in both pages, please read the explanation. With your revert you also removed my edition, --Egeymi (talk) 08:44, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

There's no reason or actual consensus that they can't be in both. Nordic countries are part of Europe, so are in scope of the Europe 10,000 challenge too. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
