Dear Wikisourcerors, 
English, Catalan and Italian Wikisource are running a proofreading contest. 
Looking at the stats (http://toolserver.org/~phe/statistics.php?diff=1)
we see that the Italian Wikisource is way more succesfull: this is probably due to the fact that we have a link to the contest on the Italian Wikipedia. 
I would suggest you to ask the community to run it for you for the last days, 
it could be a boost for the contest. 
And, hopefully, some users will stay :-)

PS: I also think that the "lottery" prize, which we copied from the Catalan contest, is a great idea. In the Italian contest, the second and third prize will be extracted from the validated pages: this means that everyone has a chance to win, and the more I read the more chance I have.
