<< Writing contests. The International writing contest is a simultaneous contest held on many language Wikipedias. The English contest was shorter than the others, running for only a week at the end of the month, but the basic rules are the same. Please see the meta page about the contests for the combined results in all languages.
The contest lasts for six weeks. Editors usually nominate the articles they plan to work on at the start. This helps others know which articles are being worked on and allows editors time to gather sources like books or papers. However, it's also okay to nominate articles after the contest starts.
