How to register

All you have to do join this contest is to add your username below with a link to your home language user page; then, when you create or improve pages in any languages, come back here and add a link to each page under your name, with the score you claim. To register, please follow the format of the Example below. Also, take a look at our scoring system below. Please add the hashtag #WikiGapNigeria in your edit summary to make it easy for us to find your contributions.

Bonus Points: If you create, edit or improve any articles on Nigerian women of Swedish descent; you will get +20 points in the WikiGap Nigeria Online Challenge. The categories have been proposed by Embassy of Sweden in Abuja, who will also sponsor the prize for the winners of the challenge! The idea is to create articles for Nigerian women of Swedish descent, who lack articles, or good articles, on several or all language versions. Let's change that!

Scoring

You are responsible for counting your own points. Here's how to do it:

• +5 points for each new translation of a Wikipedia article about women to either Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo language.
• +10 points for each new article about women on the English Wikipedia.

The points are cumulative.

The organizers have the final say in the scoring of the contributions, and will clarify the rules and points if needed. Please note that the aim is to improve Wikipedia with high quality articles, so any content of low quality that has been added will lose points or even result in a ban from the contest, if the organizers so decide.

Please remember

The points are simply here to make this more fun. Even if you do not join the Challenge to win we would love to learn about your work after the event, so please highlight it here. Your contribution is valuable in itself and with each edit you help make Wikipedia better.

Examples:

• If you translate an article into Yoruba: you get 5 points.
• If you create any article on the English Wikipedia about any Nigerian women: you get 10 points.

New editors

If you are a new Wikipedia editor, first of all, welcome! We suggest that you take a look at Wikipedia:Translation and the en:Wikipedia:Introduction. That will make it easier to get going! When you start writing, the Manual of Style might be of help. These links go to Wikipedia in English, but all these pages are available in many languages. When you visit them, please have a look on the left-hand side (under "Languages") and see if they exist in your language as well. Every language version of Wikipedia is unique, with its own community and its own conventions, so it's good to have a look at the rules.

Contributing to Wikipedia is easier now than ever before and you don't really have to learn any code! Please have a look at Wikipedia:VisualEditor for more information.
