Organizers

The competition shall be organized by Marathi Wikipedia administrators and members.
There shall be a call for volunteers. Administrators shall form this group if more than necessary numbers respond.

Competitors

The competition is open to any person as long as s/he has a free, registered account on Marathi Wikipedia.
Organizers of the competition may compete but they shall not be eligible for ranks or any prizes. Although it is possible for such members to open a fictitious account they will be honor-bound to not do so. If found out (through check-log or other devices), they shall be removed from the organizing group and deemed ineligible from the competition.
Competitors must register during the registration phase of the competition.
Competitors may compete individually or as a group of users no bigger than 5. A competing group must designate a leader, who shall be responsible for all official communication with the organizers.

Format

The organizers shall list a set of articles to be edited. Such articles may already exist in stub form.
Each competitor (individual or group) shall pick two articles to edit and improve as part of registration. The assignment of articles shall be on a first-come-first-serve basis. Competitors shall be ranked by the best of the two articles picked by them.
Articles picked by competitors shall be removed from the list of available topics. The list maybe expanded as needed by the organizers.
Competitors may also suggest articles to be created/edited. Organizers shall allow such entries unless it conflicts with Wikipedia rules.
Competitors may start editing the articles as soon as they are assigned to them. Such articles shall be semi-protected so that un-registered users may not edit them. A notice shall be placed on such articles requesting other editors to not edit these articles. However, keeping with Wikipedia rules, it is competitors' responsibility to make sure that extraneous edits are in line with the article's content.
There will be a cut-off date beyond which new registrations shall not be accepted for the competition.
After two weeks beyond the cut-off date, the articles shall be placed in a protected mode and all edits will be disabled for these articles while the judges evaluate the articles based on the criteria listed below.
Winner(s) and ranks shall be announced no later than 3 days after close of competition.
