The Teylers Challenge
File:(Haarlem)Taylers Museum, Netherlands.jpg
 NB: additions after 3 June are very welcome, but do no longer count for the Challenge.

Welcome to the writing challenge from the Teyler's Museum, a subproject of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Teylers, which in turn is a subproject of Wikipedia:GLAM. The writing challenge ran from 21 January until 3 June 2012. Everybody could help in any language to collaborate on writing articles related to the Teylers Museum and their collection. The Teylers Museum kindly provided some appropriate prizes to be awarded, and you could also earn Wikipedia:Barnstars, which you can view here.

Winners

Teylers Museum would like to thank all participants of the Teylers Challenge for their marvellous work!

Prizes have been won by:

Results

At the end of the challenge there were over 600 articles on Teylers related subjects in 13 different language wikipedias: en (203), nl (141), ca (103), hu (40), fr (36), es(19), it (19), de (17), ru (6), uk (6), fy (5), pt (4), eo (2). See the table below for a grid of article types per language (with more than 10 articles). The Catalan Wikipedia easily earns the prize for largest percentage of articles written in relation to their start position. The user User:Davidpar created the ca:Museu Teyler article in March and seems to have mobilized an entire army of volunteers. An honorable mention goes to User:Istvánka who managed to create 32 of the 40 articles on the Hungarian Wikipedia.

Strangely, the artists in the Teylers collection seemed to have the most popular following. Though Wikimedia Commons has a large array of images for Teylers' scientific instruments and fossils, the paintings seem to trigger Wikipedians to write the most. For more lessons learned, please see the talk page. Prizes will be awarded by Teylers on June 16th.

How it worked

Any Wikipedian with a named account (on any wiki) could participate. Two Wikipedians could form a team and participate jointly: this meant you didn't have to be multilingual!

To participate you had to sign up on the Participants page: you had to include a link to your talk page (it could have been on any Wikipedia, but the link needed to work from the Participants page!)

The challenge was (loosely!) based on a point system, with the goal for each participant to gain as much points as possible. These were the rules:

  • a new Good or Featured Article counts 8
  • a new short article (500 words of text, with internal and external links, inline ref and image) counts 5
  • a new stub (100 words of text, with internal and external links) counts 1
  • a short article improved to Good or Featured Article counts 3
  • a stub improved to short article counts 4
  • all articles must contain a blue in-text link to the Teyler's Museum article in the same language. This means that if the museum article doesn't yet exist in that language, you need to create it (and that article can be part of the contest as well).
  • all articles in the challenge should have talk pages with the {{WikiProject Teylers}} added for tracking purposes. PLEASE NOTE: We need volunteers to assess articles!
Where to go for help

If you have any questions about the writing challenge, please add them to the talk page (and questions about the Teylers WikiProject go here, and questions about GLAM go here). If you would like to ask for help with your article or request a photo or a fact-check from a Teylers curator, ask your question on the collaboration page.

Results (June 2012) per language wikipedia

[edit source]

A table counting articles per participant per language shows the number of languages participants contribute in. For the complete list of articles created or changed, go here. Only six partipants created articles in more than one Wikipedia, and two created articles in three languages. As of writing (June 2012), the total list is compiled from the articles listed on the participants page. There may be more articles created by others who did not sign up. This total count, subtracted from the overall total (see "Article types" table below), gives an impression of article increase over time. The Teylers challenge created a 100% increase in article coverage (from roughly 300 to 600 articles total today).

Note that there are three articles that are counted twice by participants. This means the article was created in stub form and others decided to make a short article out of it (probably due to the popularity of the topic).

The overall page hits roughly doubled with the amount of articles and extension into other languages. The page hits on the "Teylers Museum" articles in the source Wikipedia's from a year ago are shown to give an indication of growth. These page hits were found with the stats.grok.se tool, with the comment that some combinations of numbers are present as the pages were renamed in the year of measurement (for example, on the English Wikpedia, the name was changed from "Teyler's Museum" to "Teylers Museum"). April was used as a baseline because the data seems to be missing for May.

The users who created the initial "Teylers Museum" pages need an extra thankyou, because they made the contest possible for their language Wikipedia. These people were Davidpar for the Catalan Wikipedia, Torsade de Pointes for the French Wikipedia, Thelmadatter for the Spanish Wikipedia (who signed up for the challenge but did not track her contributions), Ziko for the German and Esperanto Wikipedia's, Rago for the Italian Wikipedia (who did not even sign up for the challenge), and Lvova for the Russian Wikipedia.

Views per article in English Wikipedia category "Teylers Museum"

[edit source]

The following table shows page hits recorded by Magnus's Treeview tool using the category "Teylers Museum" for the first five months of the challenge January-May (there was a short extension to June 3). This table only shows the articles currently in this category with its subcategories (which includes society members). Where page hits occur before article creation, this indicates someone clicking on a redlink.

Article tracking

[edit source]

By adding the {{WikiProject Teylers}} to the talk pages of the various articles, they can be tracked with the "article rating table". This has been done for all pages with a link back to "Teylers Museum". The start status of the Teyler wikiproject "article rating table" per 22 January 2012:
