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.
Catalan Wikipedia has a link to contest too. The reason of Italian success is that only count validated pages. In Catalan contest the most contributions proofreads pages (75%), because it's three points and validates 1 point. Although the activity is awesome too.
Next week, we should analyze this contest for future editions. El dia 27/11/2013 9.16, "Andrea Zanni" zanni.andrea84@gmail.com va escriure:

Thanks for the info. Yeah, it would be good to analyze the data and see what worked and what not. How's going in the English contest?

Another little thing: in the Italian Wikisource, we welcome user as soon as they subscribe (manually), and we have little badges for thanking them for participating to the contest (es. https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Utente:Darkluz78)
It's a very simple and easy thing to do, and maybe it is appreciated.
