Wikimedia Australia is pleased to announce a partnership with the Australian Paralympic Committee to intended to increase the depth and quality of information about disability sport on Wikipedia (English, German, French), Wikinews and Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedians to the Games (W2G) is a an opportunity for two Australian Wikimedians to go to London and cover the 2012 Summer Paralympics held in London for Wikinews, Commons and Wikipedia. W2G is played and won by skill of editing. The purpose W2G is to encourage content improvement related to the history of the Paralympic Movement in Australia and make editing on Wikipedia fun. Wikimedians to the Games begins on 10 January 2012 (today) and is structured as a two round tournament. The plan for the tournament is as follows: Round one: 10 January 2012 to 20 April 2012 We start with one group of all participants, with the top 4 from that group progressing to the second round. These four will be given press passes to cover the 2012 Paralympic Games. Points reset to zero at the end of the first round. Round two: 22 April 2012 to 30 June 2012 4 participants remain – the top two win transportation and accommodation to cover the Paralympic Games in person. For the full rules clarifying for what points can be awarded and other rules, see attached document and the wiki version: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/HOPAU/W2G/Rules However, the spirit of the rules are more important than the letter, and the judges reserve the right to deny points to anyone deemed to be abusing the system, as well as remove persistently problematic users from the competition. The judges for W2G include Laura Hale and John Vandenberg‎. They will be assisted by other judges including Sp33dyphil. They can be reached by their talk pages, the W2G talk page, by email or in the Wikimedia Australia IRC channel, #wikimedia-au. If you believe one of the contestants is abusing the spirit of the rules, intentionally submitting subpar articles with the aim of getting more W2G points, or anything similar, please contact one of the judges by email. They will look into the matter and take action if necessary. You can sign up at any time between 10 January and 20 April 2012 by following the directions at https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/HOPAU/W2G/Participants There is an ongoing discussion about this program at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Australian_Wikipedians%27_notice_bo… -- John Vandenberg
