Talk:National Geographic Bee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm going to see if there is any information on 2004's winner. I'm quite interested in this article: I was a national finalist in 1999. Mike H 01:21, Jul 17, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Really?
I was a state winner in 2002 and I'd like for this artical to be developed even more.
I just won my school's bee today and took the written test.Icelandic Hurricane 01:22, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Now I just found out that I made the state level! Icelandic Hurricane 14:57, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] gonk
I don't know whether or not this article should be expanded to include all 50 state finals plus DC and the territories (if the territories participate; I can't remember - it's been 6 years since the last time I participated). It would bulk up the page and leave information interesting to only a few hundred people on here. And I know what I'm talking about - I was in the WA state bee four years running ('96-'99); met Fite, Kerchner and Haddad-Fonda; and never got any further (farther?) than 4th place in '98. But it was good. Finally made those little bastards at school sit up and pay attention. Good luck, little comrades.

- I met Kyle Haddad-Fonda in Washington back in 1999. He and his family were all very nice. But yes, I think an overview of how students get to the state level, and a description of what goes on there (I competed in DoDDS, so we didn't have a "state level" per se, just written tests) would be beneficial for the article.

Sure, adding that part of the procedure seems reasonable. What's DoDDS? Wareq 02:23 11 June 2005 (whatever the merde UTC means)

[edit] Summary of question material?
It could be cool if someone wrote something about the content of the questions, and linked to Wikipedia articles on topics within geography, etc. I might do that if I have extra time someday. Ak13 05:02, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Articles about winners
As per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Felix Peng and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kyle Haddad-Fonda, people who are merely notable for winning this bee are unlikely to meet our inclusion guidelines for biographies at the present time. Please review these discussions when contemplating the creation of new articles.--Eloquence* 23:19, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Procedure
I have made massive changes to the procedure section; hopefully this is now more comprehensive than before. There may be points that need clairification, but I think I got the procedure down.
