A prize might be awarded to the most (positively) referenced contributor (or contribution). Some other mechanism in which the users themselves determine the outcome of the competitionin a pre-established (and transparent) system may also be viable.

  • It may provide focus in the dialoge.
  • It may provide a way to attract contributiors.
  • It may allow to establish rules for the discussion.
  • The prize should be given out on the basis of a panel judgement but rather as a result of common judgment of the users themselves.
  • Such a system would require separating the contributions of different users. Editing the contributions of others would probably first require citing and copying and then publishing a modified version.
  • It would also require mechanisms to prevent fraud.
  • Users may be allowed to use aliases, but could only cite/reference with one unique identity.
