#Breaking News Items should get 8 points - 5 to the person who finds the story - 3 to the person who puts it up. I know there was some talk about making it 10 - but seriously? Breaking News Items are not that hard to find, you go to foxnews.com (or whatever) and you see the headlines. Pick one.

Alright, those were just my thoughts - I actually did the full chart at [[User:Iduan/testrun]], but since now we're getting more into it I just wanted to make sure I could throw ideas out there --<small>[[User:Iduan|<span style="color: #FFCCCC; background: #660000">I]][[User_talk:Iduan|<span style="color:#CCCCFF; background:#000033">Duan]]</span></span></small> 23:34, 25 November 2007 (EST)

:I agree with a lot of what Iduan has said but feel that sysop activities are not compatible with a competition. So points for blocking and reversion of vandalism which require but a mere mouse click, should be excluded. I strongly believe that the focus of competitions should be towards <u>permanent mainspace article improvement and creation</u>, which should therefore exclude breaking news items which are temporary, or welcoming new users. Also, all competitors should be able to compete on an equal footing so privileged access to locked pages is not allowed. I think images should be graded, so that an individual's own pictures, drawings and diagrams to illustrate an article (if relevant) should be better rewarded than a public domain image found on the internet, as this is something that they have personally created and donated to Conservapedia; something which then differentiates Conservapedia from other sites. As a modest example (cough, cough) I would cite my own [http://www.conservapedia.com/Image:Plan_of_Chichen_Itza.png map of Chichen Itza], which I did as a labour of love and which cannot be found anywhere else. Finally, too many edits do not contain an edit summary. I think that I may be unique in providing an edit summary for everything I contribute (check my user stats for confirmation), but you can enforce this in your own user preferences and maybe edits without a proper summary should have a penalty point deduction.
:These are just a few points and I may have more to say after further reflection. [[User:BrianCo|BrianCo]] 14:51, 26 November 2007 (EST)
