:::Yes I suppose you're right - I was actually going to make it this - but I noticed that we had done [[Contest3]] in the namespace - so in order to avoid any conflict I figured I should go with the precedent - but in hindsight I should've placed it here - thanks for the heads up.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 23:37, 6 January 2008 (EST)
Many things need to be worked out until this is finalized. Among them are:
*How to do selection of teams[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Aschlafly&diff=365755&oldid=365750]
*What the role of team captain comes down to[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Contest3&diff=next&oldid=343798]
*How to ensure all players understand the rules[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Contest3&diff=next&oldid=343798]
*How to mandate clear point tallies[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Contest3&diff=next&oldid=343798]
*How to word the purpose of the contest[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Contest3&diff=next&oldid=343798]
*How to enact a system that would solve rule conflicts[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Contest3&diff=next&oldid=343798]
*How to rewrite the Wanted pages rule[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Talk:Contest3&diff=next&oldid=343798]
Please feel free to create a section for other concerns - and for more specifics on the above, simply visit the link to the right of each item, where clarification is given.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 23:37, 6 January 2008 (EST)
==Selections of Teams==
==Role of Team Captain==
I suggest that team captains have as small a role as possible. They should be selected based on who were the top contributers in the previous contest (in this case [[Contest3]]) and they should pick teams. After the Contest as started, however, there role should become nominal.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 23:37, 6 January 2008 (EST)
==Ensuring the Rules are Understood==
==Point Tallies==
Perhaps the best way to do this is a general format. Geo and HelpJazz were kind enough to point out [[User:Iduan/Contest3|my layout]] as suitable - however I agree with them that it is far too specific. Perhaps something like this would be better:

==Purpose==
I believe the purpose of the contest is to improve Conservapedia by tapping into the competitive side of our editors--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 23:37, 6 January 2008 (EST)
==Solve Conflicts Quickly==
Perhaps we should elect 2 Contest Chairmen who could immediately solve conflicts - candidates could volunteer and then based on those candidates' contributions, contributors would vote for their top 2 preferences, and the 2 with the most votes would be selected.--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 23:37, 6 January 2008 (EST)
==Wanted Pages Rule==
I think that in order to avoid cheating - only wanted pages that exist at the start of the contest should be allowed to count - these pages would be recorded on a page (and the page would be protected) to ensure accuracy. That way we won't have people artificially creating wanted pages they can create--<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 23:37, 6 January 2008 (EST)
