Jumpaclass is a fun semi-competition that is run by the San Francisco Bay Area WikiProject to improve the quality of all our articles. There are many processes for higher quality articles, such as Peer review and FAC, but many stubs and start rated articles languish unedited for lack of interest. Jumpaclass is an attempt to correct that.

Contents

[edit] How it works

1. Find an article you would like to improve from the list of assessed SFBA articles: you can choose Stub, Start, or B class articles. Other places to find an article:

2. Add the article and your name to the appropriate month below. You may list as many articles as you like.

Example:

* St. Peter and Paul Church, stub. ~~~~

This produces:

3. Improve the article by at least one class. You have one week.

4. After seven days, another member of the project will check your progress and either upgrade the article or explain to you why you haven't improved the article enough. If the article has improved you get points for every class it has "jumped." A running tally can be seen below.

[edit] Variations

  • Head-to-head: Challenge a fellow Wikipedian to compete in Jumpaclass. Both editors pick a same-class article on the same day, and work to improve them to as high of a class as possible. Whoever's article reaches the highest class wins. Both editors receive the points due.
  • Joint collaboration: Much like in head-to-head, two editors (three, if you can manage it) work simultaneously on improving an article. In this version, however, the editors collaborate on the same article. This makes more easier jumping. However, the points earned by this method are divided equally between or amongst the editors.
  • Speedy review: If you do not wish to wait the seven days for your article to be reviewed, add "Review now" next to your listing on the page as soon as you are ready for review.

[edit] Points tally

[edit] How points are calculated

Points Earned by making
0 no article to stub
1 no article to start
stub to start
2 start to B
3 stub to B
4 B to GA
5 stub to GA

The editor with the highest number of points at the end of the year wins the right to choose any article for the upcoming month's article collaboration. The board will be wiped, and the fun begins all over again.
