The TED Speakers Challenge, running until 6 July, stems from the appointment by TED (the "TED Talks" talks people) of two Wikipedians-in-Residence - Jane Darnell (User:Jane023) and yours truly. (See: Meet TED's Wikipedians-in-Residence.)
We're inviting Wikimedians to write or improve Wikipedia articles and Wikidata items about the 1,800+ speakers in the dataset donated by TED as part of the project.
Points are awarded for various types of contributions, and the person with the most points at the end of the challenge will receive a box set of ten TED Books valued at $159.00USD. Ten runners-up will each receive a set of three books. For full details, and to take part, please see TED speakers challenge.
