THIS IS A DRAFT

The following might improve the outcome of Writing Contests, Competitions and Initiatives:

  • Accompanying edit-a-thons and Wikimeets increase the number of new users. These can be organized together with partners like libraries, museums and institutions.
  • A central page on Meta helps if the event is supposed to be international and involves several language versions taking part.
  • A list of red links as article suggestions helps the contributors who do not find a new subject on their own.
  • To announce the event and as sites for advertisement there are several sites and methods available. Some of them have proven to be more successful than others to draw in participants. Those are:
  • SiteNotices resp. CentralNotices are a good way to reach a huge amount of potential contributors. Timing is of the essence since they could collide with other SiteNotices.
