Wikipedia:Stub Contest

The Stub Contest is a short intensive contest focusing on de-stubbing and expanding as many of Wikipedia's stub articles as possible. It has been run three times: first in November/December 2004, then 1–31 December 2013 (Nine years is a long time between drinks!), 1–30 September 2014 and 1–31 August 2015.

The Stub Contest, an incarnation of which was organised by Danny (talk · contribs) in 2004, was revived in November/December 2013. A short intensive contest, the idea is to focus on expanding as many of Wikipedia's stub articles as possible, particularly the most linked or viewed, and see what the community can do at chiselling away at the huge backlog of articles needing expansion to some significant coverage. Also note that the article should already be in existence at the beginning of the contest – the spirit of the contest is the expansion of existing stubs, not creation of still more (which is going on anyway...). It was recently run again from August 1-31, 2015, with (Amazon vouchers) as prizes to be awarded a few weeks afterwards.
