Stub cup

Stub Cup

Hi and thanks for taking part in the Stub Cup! Here are a few things you need to know before we start:

The Cup starts on May 1^st 00:00 UTC and ends on June 30^th 23:59 UTC.
The stubs you expand must have been created before May 1^st 00:00 UTC.

The scoring system works as follows:

If you get a stub to a Regular Article, you will get 1 point.
- For an article of 1500 to 2199 bytes of text you get 1 point.
- From 2200 bytes of text and for every additional 700 bytes of text you get 1 extra point.
- If the portion you add is unreferenced, you only get half the points it is worth.
If you get a stub promoted to Good Article status, you will get 25 extra points.
If you get a stub promoted to Very Good Article status, you will get 50 extra points.

The winner will be the person with the most points.
You must add the stubs you expand to the page Wikipedia:Article Cup/Stub 10/Barras.

Cheers, — laurynashby 21:26, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject Maths

Sonia has just directed me to your subpage, and it seems very interesting... However, most of the words written on the page are obscured by boxes and pictures, so could you please clear them up for me? Thanks, TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 08:11, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look as soon as I'm back at home. Don't even get the time to edit nor to do this right now. Sorry, but not before next week. -Barras ^talk 11:58, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've found the problem... TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 00:20, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I only use Opera or Firefox, so I don't see the problem. But while looking at the source code, I feel unable to change it. I haven't written it. -Barras ^talk 07:51, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Encouragement

Hehe, I looked at new changes and I saw your name everywhere. :) Thanks for your contributions, and keep up the great work! --cremepuff222 (talk) 12:59, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
