Double challenges credit

Question

If we find a source and add it to an unsourced profile, while we are entering
information about any suggestions we are correcting, should we check both
the clean-a-thon and the monthly sourcerers challenge if we are participating
in both activities?

Comments

I don't believe the Clean A Thon will be an option on the challenges tracker since we use the status button to track edits. But I would certainly click on the sourcerers challenge if I added a source during the Clean A Thon. It is a separate action from cleaning the error and should get separate credit.

I was aware the clean-a-thon would not count during the sourcerers challenge but wondered if they both counted while they ran "side by side" for three days.  I have a couple of profiles that will probably qualify for
this situation.  I will apply your answer where ever I can.  Thanks for the
clarification of my understanding.

Answer 1

Yes, you can count an added source for the monthly sourcerers challenge while cleaning.  What Emma was pointing out is that the tracker is not used for the Clean A Thon.  You have to go through the Status button and then indicate if the suggestion was corrected or what.  So, you'll have to hit the tracker for the sourcerer challenge and the status for the clean a thon.

Got it.  I'll see you in the pages tomorrow.
