[WikiEN-l] Interesting contest on de.wp

[Erik Moeller]

Perhaps something for en.wp to emulate: de.wikipedia has recently
started a new type of writing contest where two contestants challenge
each other to write the equivalent of a "good article" in de.wp:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Achim_Raschka/Spielkiste

A more or less random user is selected to choose a topic to write
about (can be anything). The contestants then can choose a specific
article they want to start / bring to "good article" quality.
Whoever's article is declared to be of the necessary quality first
through the usual community review process, wins the duel. There is a
ranking of the "players" who have won the most competitions.

The game was started in June and seems to be quite popular already.
