To comply with the contest, all of the articles must be submitted here between 0:00 on April 1 and 23:59 on May 2. Under your section, please list what articles you've created or expanded and list all of the points you're claiming on each one, including added bonuses etc which are stated in the Rules and scoring. Please also list your article creations and expansions at the bottom of the main page for the combined effort. Dr. Blofeld will formally approve or disapprove the entries put forward here with either a tick or a cross and update the scoreboard regularly as the contest proceeds. If Dr. Blofeld declines an entry, he will state the reason, but contestants can readdress articles with the advice given and they can be rechecked at a later date to see that they fully comply. If a participant begins editing an article and finds that another participant has also begun to edit it, decide between yourselves who is going to do it. The same article cannot be submitted by multiple candidates. To avoid this happening, contestants are advised to sign their names by articles on the core list once the contest begins to indicate what they intend actively working on. Please only reserve one article at a time and make sure you're actively going to edit it when you reserve it. If you reserve an article and don't edit it for up to a week your name may be removed. Remember to place your GA nominated articles in the Good articles list for reviewing on the main contest page. Feel free to contact at User talk:Dr. Blofeld if there is something you dispute or need assistance with.

HMS Empress of India (1891) 1.9K expansion (first section entirely replaced) (+25), Core 2 article (+40), any other section (+10)=75 points [214] (+200 GAN)
Core 2 article 40 + 10 = 50 points.Y I can't give 25 points on this for 3kb as it's really not. But there is certainly something to be said for simplifying the scoring for core attack for the final week and offering 100 points for improving any core article and scrapping the bonuses. I'm offering a lot of points for the coming week for destubbing articles. A lot more points potentially can be earned for that so perhaps adjusting this to a basic score for improving any core article by minimum of 1.5 kb would work. I really don't like having to adjust anything on this though, the scoring should be simple and consistent throughout.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:59, 24 April 2016 (UTC) (+200 GAN promoted)Y[reply]

I forgot about the fact that this is a Core II article and that I'd added 1.5K of new text to the stub. So +40 I think.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:09, 1 May 2016 (UTC) Y[reply]

Thanks for pointing out the 15 articles destubbed on any listed building or populated settlement = 50 points bonus. All 16 articles that I submitted for the Preserved County sub-contest were listed buildings plus those here.
@Sturmvogel 66: List the entries you destubbed on the main entries page in the other claims section nearer the bottom.♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:13, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Elizabeth Randles, 3k expansion - 25, no expansion in 5 years - 10, Welsh Woman on list - 20. Total: 55 points. (+200 GA)Y
List of Welsh dishes - Created as a collaboration with Staceydolxx (she did all the work in design, but I've written most of the text) Not sure how many point to claim? -you'll get 10 points for this, but for producing this and getting Welsh cuisine to GA you're getting a bonus 50 which will be given once it passes GA. -10 points Y
Welsh cuisine - 3k expansion - 25, no expansion in 5 years - 10, Level 1 core article - 50, total: 85 points (+200 GA (and 50 bonus stated in the prizes section) )Y
Anne Penny - new article - 10, Welsh woman - 20. =30 points Y
Emilia Baeyertz - new article - 10, Welsh woman - 20 = 30 points. Y(I expect I'll be putting this for GA by the end of the day, but there's a few more sources I want to add)
So this contest actually sinpired you to holiday in Wales now? This is great haha! Nice photos!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:22, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Might have done! We had a lovely time in Snowdonia, beautiful place to spend a few days :) WormTT(talk) 12:29, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the idea was 5 points for a photo upload with article, or for an article which didn't have a photo. So see which ones can be used, or do some article work on the relevant subject and they can be included. Create St Marys Church, Betws-y-coed/improve Swallow Falls and then you can get the bonuses for photos.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:38, 18 April 2016 (UTC) ♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:36, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, gotcha. Thought the photos were worth something on their own as they're Welsh subjects. WormTT(talk) 12:45, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
With some article work they will be worth something! I'll give you 5 for each of them.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:54, 18 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I create all the missing Welsh international footballers. I added to most of the articles several facts about the person. Some of them are small +/- 1500kb, while other are over 2500kb with several facts and sources, like Thomas John Thomas, Des Palmer and Harry Millership. Taking all together I would say it's worth on average 10 points per article, so 1830 points.
Note: Unfortunately the word 'current' is listed in the bonuspoints for: "players, male or female, in the current Wales football and rugby teams – 50 points". Without that word I would have earned 36*50=1800 more poinst.
Here is the place to claim any of the bonus prizes which are listed on the contest page. For creating/expanding the most articles on listed buildings etc you must list all of the articles with a # (numbering) where applicable and give links of your expansion differences in making the claim to make it easier to judge and pick the winner. People who do not compete in the contest and in the editathon may also claim these prizes if they wish, but only work submitted in April will register.

Claiming 1375 points for getting the three articles Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Clwyd to GA during the month as mentioned on the Core attack page.
@Cwmhiraeth: Nono, you've misunderstood this one. I've said that they're worth 1375 points combined for GA. "A total of 1375 points for anybody who can get any three of the following up to Good Article status within the month". That didn't mean an extra 1375 points. I was just stating what all of those articles were worth once you tot up the bonuses. If you work out how much each was with expansion and then GA it should be about that. The bonus was 250 points for promoting three not 1375. Same goes for the history and geography type ones, those are stated to be worth 1000 odd points, you got the 750 bonus for promoting geography not a 1000 odd one. I think you actually got nearer 1500 for the three counties, they're not worth 3000 odd haha. Yup, you got 420 + 420 + 425 + 250=1515 points.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:10, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm... The page states "A total of 1375 points for anybody who can get any three of the following up to Good Article status within the month:" and then lists the present unitary authorities and the preserved counties. I certainly took this as a challenge to do three of them (not two or four), a challenge that I took up. I did wonder whether this was meant to be a bonus, but the number 1375 is not even exactly divisible by three, and 458.3 did not marry up with what each county would score individually, as far as I could see. So I think this part of the Core Attack page was poorly explained. Nevertheless, the judge's decision is final, so I will accept your ruling. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:09, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Cwmhiraeth: If you wondered whether it was a bonus or not why didn't you ask? 1375 isn't divisible by three but the figure included the 250 bonus for promoting the three. 1125 divided by 3 is 375. I believe I calculated it as 300 for a GA (200 + 100 for each one), 50 for a Level 1 Core and 25 for a 3kb+ expansion =375. What wasn't clear about "Here are some of the highest earning articles you can possibly tackle for this and the total points you will earn for writing a high-quality article and promoting to Good Article status?": I've emboldened total points you will earn" now anyway. I can see how you might have thought that though. Do you not think 1515 points for just three articles is very reasonable though?♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:27, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, 1515 is not unreasonable. But I was mislead into thinking 1375 was a bonus. Never mind. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:44, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It would be a strange figure to give for a bonus! Perhaps it would have been best if I'd displayed how the totals were totted up, sorry, I thought it was clear from the figures given in the other bonuses section. Please ask though if you're unsure about something! Mmm the scoring was meant to be challenging rather than confusing but I can see it's confusing people at times on this. I wonder if it would be best to entirely scrap the points system for future ones and simply go by number of articles. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:46, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
