with your best keyboard pictures or technical drawings!

The wiki contest is about quality, not quantity!
The total number of articles is irrelevant!
However, the more quality articles a member writes,
the higher are the chances to win!

The Rules
Everybody who had an account at Deskthority before this contest started may participate.
If 2 or more members write at an article, the credits go always to the one
who contributed the main part. If there are more than one who contributed
significant content to an article, the price is split up.
There are 3 stages to find out the winners:
- Articles can be contributed until the 9th June.
- Then, everybody can nominate other members until the 14th June.
- A jury will decide who will be the nominees for the last stage of the contest:
The voting to find the winners out of the nominees will end on the 18th June.
All winners will be invited to the
International Deskthority Keyboard Party 2012 in Best.[1]

Rules for nomination
Nobody may nominate her or himself.
People who bribe others to nominate them or set up a 2nd account
for that purpose are being disqualified from the contest. Same for
people who just copy&paste from other sites, even if it is content
they wrote themselves!
No pictures with water marks may be used! Uploading of these might
be according to the DT wiki policy, but leads to disqualification from
the contest!
Edit wars are not tolerated. Improvement of other's articles is allowed,
but does not count as contribution, unless really significant content is
added which is as valuable as the original content.
