Problem counting points

[edit]

I think there is a problem in counting points. Each characters of Latin alphabet are coded with ONE byte, but characters of non-latin alphabet such as greek and cyrilic are coded with TWO bytes. Not to speak of other exotic alphabets probably coded with more bytes. --Dominik (talk) 10:06, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, diacritics in latin alphabet are also coded on TWO bytes. --Dominik (talk) 14:11, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. This happened also in our previous edition. But we don't have a esay answer to it. Do you have an idea on how could we keep an easy to track and more balanced system? We will be happy to implement it in forthcoming editions.--Kippelboy (talk) 11:24, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification of rules

[edit]

Are we supposed to claim points for edits during this challenge or any translations, even those made before the challenge started ? --Tappinen (talk) 05:11, 25 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the ones done during challenge period--Kippelboy (talk) 11:15, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not enough articles

[edit]

Je suis tres decu par votre concours - j'ai appris trop tard son existence et il n'y a pas assez d'articles sur lesquels travailler, tout etait deja pris par les autres concurrents. De ce fait, il y a tres peu de chances de participer en francais. D'autre part, j'ai remarque qu'un concurrent s'est attribue des points qu'il avait deja gagnes en 2014 pour un article qui est reste sans changement depuis cette date. --Kabhi2011 (talk) 07:56, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Salut Kabhi2011. Je suis désolé de lire que vous êtes dessolé. A l'édition 2014 il y avait une cinquantaine d'articles et cette édition on a essayé de faire un chose plus petite. Peut être on vais l'amplier encore une foi pour l'édition de 2017. Merci beaucoup pour ton commentaire. En regardant les attributions des points. On ferà une révision des points de celui qui sont les vainqueurs avant de renvoyer les t-shirts. Merci encore un fois. --Kippelboy (talk) 11:21, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is all over now, isn't it ?

[edit]

No sign of challenge closing ? --Tappinen (talk) 14:20, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Now there is. Thanks for the ping.--Kippelboy (talk) 09:38, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New edition 2017

[edit]

We are preparing a new edition for 2017, to start tomorrow. Please join!--Kippelboy (talk) 11:02, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

presenting the project "Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory" / project aligned with Catalan Culture Challenge

[edit]

Hello everyone,

My name is Marc Miquel and I am a researcher from Barcelona (Universitat Pompeu Fabra). 

While I was doing my PhD I studied whether an identity-based motivation could be important for editor participation and I analyzed content representing the editors' cultural context in 40 Wikipedia language editions.

Few months later, I propose creating the Wikipedia Cultural Diversity Observatory in order to raise awareness on Wikipedia’s current state of cultural diversity, providing datasets, visualizations and statistics, and pointing out solutions to improve intercultural coverage

I am presenting this project to a grant and I expect that the site becomes a useful tool to help communities create more multicultural encyclopaedias and bridge the content culture gap that exists across language editions.

Here is the link of the project proposal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikipedia_Cultural_Diversity_Observatory_(WCDO)

I think this project can be very useful for Catalan Culture Challenge and other interlanguage collaboration projects.

If you like it, I'd ask you to endorse it. In any case, I will appreciate any feedback, comments,... Of course, you are invited to become participants, as there will be the need for users in the testing part.

Thank you very much.
