Wiktionary:Easter Competition 2010

=The rules=

Intro
This is the new competition. The idea of this competition is to get more citations and new entries into Wiktionary.

How it works
The competition comprises of adding new words or phrases from a single opus of the editor's choosing, be it a book, magazine, film, TV show, comic, chat log, blog, shopping list, tattoo etc. 5 points are won for each new citation from the chosen opus, with 5 more for adding a new definition line (for non-English terms, another translation), and 5 more for creating a brand new entry (a new Wiktionary article). Anything that would pass CFI will be accepted, except proper nouns. All foreign-language quotes must include an English translation.

The competition will begin at 00:01 UTC on April 1 2010. At the close of competition (23:59 April 30), whoever has the most points wins.

User:Soleil levant
I'm going to choose Boyz n the Hood as the opus, because it contains lots of AAVE terms probably not in Wiktionary. For African booty-scratcher I get 5 points for the citation, 5 for the new definition, and 5 for the new WT page = 15 points. For fuck that shit I get 15 points too, giving me a total of 30 points! Beat that, losers!
 * 1) African booty-scratcher

Noun

 * 1)  African person
 * 1991, Boyz n the Hood
 * Did you know that Africa is where the body of the first man was found? My daddy says that's where all people originated from. That means everybody's really from Africa. Everybody. All y'all. Everybody.
 * I ain't from Africa. I'm from Crenshaw Mafia!
 * Like it or not, you from Africa.
 * I ain't from Africa. You from Africa. You African booty-scratcher! 
 * 1) fuck that shit

Phrase

 * 1)  Used to emphatically refuse something
 * 1991, Boyz n the Hood
 * Them niggas around the corner tripped out, man.
 * Fuck that shit, man! - Let's go. I'll take my car. Oh, fuck that. We should've let these niggas have it.
 * Just pull up, just pull up.


 * This was made well before the beginning of the competition, but I suppose you're just going to delete it and make it again... :) —Internoob (Disc•Cont) 23:52, 31 March 2010 (UTC) Never mind. Didn't realize that this was an example. —Internoob (Disc•Cont) 16:41, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Competitive element
It is also possible to use opuses chosen by other editors. 3 points are won for each new citation from another competitor's opus, with 3 more for adding a new definition (or translation, for non-English), and 3 more for creating a brand new entry. This promotes completeness, and also competitiveness. The opus must be the same in all cases, and not a translation.

Little rules to dissuade players from adding all their entries on the final day of April (which would be an excellent tactic)

 * Every day on which a player adds a new quote, he will be awarded 10 bonus points (therefore maximum 30 times 10 bonus points).
 * e.g. if User:Soleil levant adds quotes on April 1, April 5, April 6, April 20, April 30th, he gains 5 times 10 bonus points = 50 bonus points
 * 20 bonus points for each week (7-day period, start time irrelevant) in which no rival players add any other quotes from the chosen opus.

Little rule to get things spread around a bit and for Wiktionary's integrity
Only one quotation is valid per definition line.

Other rules
User:Rising Sun can adapt the rules.

Prize
The user with the most points after the close of the competition gains the privilege of being able to tell me what to do. I, Rising Sun, will dedicate 2 hours of my time unto absolutely anything that the winner should choose of me. --Rising Sun talk? contributions 17:04, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * The player with the highest score for a single entry gets a bonus prize. I'm not sure what this is going to be yet. Something shiny, for sure. --Rising Sun talk? contributions 19:02, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * The deadline for claiming your prize is 17 May 2010, 23:59 --Rising Sun talk? contributions 10:58, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

User:Internoob
My chosen opus is L’Ingénieux Hidalgo Don Quichotte de la Manche. So lengthy are its volumes, and so garrulous is de Cervantes in his vocabulary, that I believe that the French language will sooner run out of words than will Don Quichotte be completely purged of material for Wiktionary.
