I decided to ignore the whole "prizes" aspect of the BM residency. That's a snarky piece, really, and there is no need for me to add to the snarkiness. But the idea of a wiki is collaboration, and any prizes that ignore that an article is developed by a team (how exactly do you divide up a £100 book prize among those who get an article to FA?) are basically misconceived.
Um ... £100 / (number of people involved)? or using a weighted distribution? Seems fairly easy to me, and definitely a lot easier than dividing up a specific prize (e.g. a book worth £100).
Who counts as involved? What do you weight the distribution by? Number of edits is useless, number of words isn't much better.
