2. Entry Criteria: Participants must create a new Wikipedia biography page from the list entitled "Entries" in English. The biography should include accurate and verifiable information, properly sourced references, and be written in a neutral tone.
3. Content Guidelines: The biography should provide a comprehensive overview of the person's life. Sub headings may include but not limited to; early life, career, and personal life.
4. No plagiarism: All submissions must be worded by yourself. Plagiarism or copying content from other sources will result in disqualification.
5. Copyright Compliance: Participants should adhere to copyright rules and only use images, information, and references that are properly licensed or in the public domain.
6. Language and Formatting: All biographies should be written in English, and follow Wikipedia's guidelines for formatting, structure, and citation.
7. Deadline: Contest ends on 25 December 2023.
8. Judging Criteria: Submissions will be evaluated based on accuracy, completeness, quality of references, adherence to Wikipedia guidelines, and the size of the content.
9. Disqualification: Participants will be disqualified if they violate any contest rules, engage in disruptive editing, vandalize existing articles, or fail to meet the criteria mentioned above.
10. Duplication: Creating an already existing page on English Wikipedia will result in a points penalty. Contestants are therefore advised to search thoroughly for the names on the English Wikipedia before they begin to create the page.
11. Prizes and Awards: Prizes will be awarded to participants who create the most comprehensive, well-written, and valuable biographies in English.
12. Announcement of Winners: The winners should be announced publicly, and will be featured on the contest website, social media platforms and the GOIF website.
- Outcome

- Claim your entry by [here] to sign ~~~~ next to your entry.
- Jury will review your edits and add

- Another facilitator will increase your points on the leader board if a green correct sign,

- If you do not see any of the correct green signs by a page in the list or a facilitator adds
