Just a note for frequent editors

Hello everyone, the entire Wikipedia community appreciates those who edit this page, as we try to improve this encyclopedia for all. However, I would like to request something of those people who commonly edit this page. I would assume that the majority of people that edit this page are current or previous competitors in the National Geographic Bee. As a result, many editors on this page enter information from firsthand accounts, resulting in the fact that this is an unreferenced page.

I also was a competitor in the 2014 Nationals, and I saw some placings on the state champions list that were obviously incorrect. I have since removed the information, but I please request that editors do not add original research to this article, as it can cause inadvertent placing of incorrect information.

New photos?

Can someone upload newer, more relevant photos from the National Geographic Bee? There are definitely newer, higher-resolution photos out there that would be more appropriate for this article. LuckyWiki26 (talk) 15:31, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Extensive discussion of the rules?

Especially now that National Geographic has discontinued the Bee -- but even before, when the Bee was still an active competition -- does Wikipedia really need such extensive discussion of how the rounds and eliminations of the competition work? That portion of the article is not even sourced. But unless you or someone close to you was actually going to compete in the Bee, I doubt you would be interested in content such as this:

If there was a tie for the championship round or third place, there would be an elimination round. For example, if four players are left and three made their second mistake, the fourth advances to the championship round and the other three enter the tiebreaker. The moderator then asked each of the three players, at the same time, to write their answers to the same question. In this special round, questions could be repeated by players but they could not ask how to spell a given word. As a result, if one of three responses was correct, the player would rise to the championship round and the other two moved to the tiebreaker round until a third-place winner determined.

Can this be cut down significantly? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:56, 11 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
