The Spaceflight Destubathon
a stub improvement contest/editathon from Start Date – End Date
Welcome to the Spaceflight Destubathon! It is a general stub elimination contest, with the intention to cover all the topics. The idea is simple: blast away as many of our 37,000 + Africa stubs as possible! There was US$amount(about £amount) available in total for prizes for this, to whoever fleshes out the most stubs from every country of Africa, the most expansions for geography, wildlife and women, and for producing Good Articles. All that is required for this is basic article expansions and improvements. To "destub" an article all you have to do is ensure it's minimum 1.5 kB (1500 characters) readable prose in total, which you can measure using this tool. The existing text and text you add is expected to all be verifiable and adequately sourced to reliable sources, with the expected Wikipedia:Citations drawn up. Whoever "destubs" the most articles for a given country wins a prize, and whoever wins the most "destubs" for the most countries will be crowned the overall winner.
Though the Destubathon is primarily intended as a general stub elimination contest to cover all topics, this is being run in a way to complement Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red and Wiki Loves Women, a successful project which has already improved/created hundreds of articles about West African women on Wikipedia. There will be a significant prizes for the people who destub the most articles on geography and wildlife and the most articles destubbed and created (no stubs) on women throughout the month. Even if you don't want prizes, you're welcome to participate in this as an editathon and find something to enjoy this autumn!
