Sign up here for the "Gibraltar Challenge"

All you have to do is to sign your name below (~~~~) and add a link to your usual talk page; then, when you create or improve pages, add a link to each page under your name, with the score you claim. Competitio closes at midnight UK time on 26th Dec (just before its the 27th!) The challenge is based on a point system, with the goal for each participant to gain as much points as possible. Details on barnstars and prizes can be found here.

en:Did You Know - The reason that Did You Know articles are given points here is because its a great project and its a good way of checking and improving the quality of an article. However we are quite willing to give contestants 7 points if they can just get another experienced editor to agree on the talk page that the article is in line with DYK rules. i.e. You don't need to get on the front page to get the points. That is your choice. We believe the real value will be in creating a place where augmented reality apps work really well and seeing "your?" article on a glass plaque on the side of a notable building. More details follow.
