International Group of Interest Contest 2019

Description:

In this contest, you will have to write your own article featuring a Group of Interest from another branch. If you want to see a quick overview of all the different GoIs from all of the branches, you can look at the GoI Index. This contest is hosted by ThePaperMask.

Contest rules:

+ Show rules

+ Hide rules

You may write more than one article
You may work together in groups
1. You may only be a member of one group
You/your group chooses one main GoI that they then focus all of their articles on. Other GoIs may be included, and they may even play a major part, or partly even a bigger part than the GoI you picked, but most of the articles you write have to be centered or focussed on the GoI you have picked.
1. You may not choose a GoI that is already taken. First to come, first to choose. However, if there are more participating groups than GoIs, then participants may choose GoIs that have already been picked. If you really want to focus on a GoI that is already taken, contact the captain of the team currently occupying your GoI (listed below) and try to bargain. If no compromise can be found and you still both really want the GoI, contact ThePaperMask either via Wikidot PM or via Discord (@Qog'oz#3184 on the Discord of INT)
2. You may not pick a GoI from a branch that any of the team members are from. For example: If a team consists of two Italians, one French person and one Spanish person, no French, Italian or spanish GoI may be chosen as the group's main GoI.
3. If a group member identifies with multiple branches, this rule applies to all of the GoIs of all of the branches they identify themself with.
  1. Please identify yourself with the english branch (or another branch of your choosing) if you are a part of an unofficial branch.
4. Each group has a Captain who organizes the team. Please pick an active person as the Captain.
5. Each group has a name. Please, don't put anything remotely offensive as your team name. No slurs, nothing of the likes. You know the deal.
6. Each group may make a group hub for this contest if they have three articles with more than five upvotes. Votes on the group hub do not count for your teams average rating.
You may not upvote any of your team members works on INT, nor may you upvote your own.
The articles you write have to be published on both your own branch as original work, and as translation on INT¹.
1. If a group includes people from different branches, you may choose one Branch to post it on originally. For example, if an Italian member and an English member are in a group, they can either publish their articles on IT and INT (due to the Italian person) or on EN and INT (due to the main branch member). They, of course, can publish translations.
2. Should an article be deleted due to a low rating on either INT or a branch, it will no longer count for the contest.
3. If you do not speak English or think your English is insufficient to write/translate an article, you can simply post your articles on your branch and ask a member of your branch to translate it for you (However, if your articles are not on the Translation Archive by the writing threshold, they will not count).
Main branch GoIs may not be chosen as a group's main - this is the international GoI Contest after all.
You may not use more than one main branch GoI in an article, for the same reason.
If you have a group, copy and paste the template and add yourself. Please sort them alphabetically. Also, check if the Group of Interest you want to pick is already occupied. If not, fill in the blanks on the template and mark your GoI as occupied in the list down below. If you are writing alone, please add yourself to the respective list.
All form of articles are permitted
You may NOT use drafts that existed before this page went up
There will be three phases: a preparation phase, a writing phase and a rating phase. The GoI-choosing phase will take a week, from the 20th February 2019 to the 27th February 2019. The writing phase will take roughly two months, from the 00:00 CET, 27th February 2019 to the 25th May 2019. The rating phase will take a month and go from the 00:00 CET, 25th May 2019 to the 27th June 2019.
1. While GoI shall be chosen and groups shall be formed in the preparation phase, you may still enter the contest during the writing phase, you will just loose time then.
2. During the writing phase, articles may be posted. As soon as this writing phase closes, no articles can be submitted. Groups without any articles will be disqualified
3. The GoI-Choosing phase is used to make teams, inform yourself about your GoI (using the GoI Index, their hub (if present) and translated articles by them (if present) and brainstorm. Remember: No drafts can be made, but you may already collect ideas.
4. The contest will close at the end of the rating phase, and the winner is determined by the average rating of all articles made by their group for the contest posted on INT. Note: the rating on your own branch does not matter.
Reminder: This is NOT an event of branch vs branch, this is made to show people that these international Groups of Interest do exist and that they have a high potential for really good articles. Please keep that in mind.
Should you directly ask for votes (no matter if upvotes or downvotes) on any article on this contest, on any platform (should this be IRC, a discord server or some form of DM) your group will be completely disqualified.
1. No Mass PMing.
2. Plugging, as long as its not mass-plugging via PMs or chat programs, is allowed.
It is recommended to check the GoI Index!
1. Should this Index not be detailed enough for you, ask either the creator of the GoI (if given) or ask a member of the branch the GoI is from. Alternatively, check if the GoI has any translated articles on the international archive.
All articles from this contest are to be tagged with goi2019
Please put the following reminder (in your language) at the top of the articles of your group posted on your own branch for the duration of the contest (The last sentence should be left out in an article posted on the main branch. The second URL should be replaced with the (english) counterpart on SCP-INT):

Reminder: This article is part of the International Contest! Of course you can vote on this article here, however, for the contest, only votes on this pages counterpart on the international wiki count. If you don't speak English, feel free to read it here and then later vote on it on the international wiki.

A lot of people seem to be forgetting that they need to note that the GoI they picked is taken. Don't forget that.

Groups of Interest:

Reminder: You cannot focus your group on a GoI that is from the same branch as any of your members! For more info, see Rule 3.2.
