The reward board is an informal page where users who want a specific task related to Wikipedia (such as the promotion of an article to featured article status or the editing of an image) can offer a reward to editors willing to take on the task. The execution and details of the transaction are the responsibility of the participating parties, and the reward can be monetary, goods (books, cookies, etc.), barnstars, or tit-for-tat editing (like improving another article).

Reward board is similar to the bounty board, where a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation is awarded for an article's promotion to featured status instead of payment to a specific editor.

The Wikimedia Foundation is not hiring and no payments are made by the Foundation. This is purely a page for editors to offer rewards to other editors. Challenges may remain open for a maximum duration of one year. After that period of time, the challenge will be moved to expired requests; however, the author of the challenge may repost the challenge with a new expiration period. The aim of this policy is to keep the board clutter-free, ensure editors are available to fulfill such challenges, and to ensure the challenges are still valid.

See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for information about monetary compensation and possible conflicts of interest.

Date offered: 04:46, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
Request: Get a free-image eqivalent for this, this, and this.

Furry articles

Reward: $150 for a featured article, $50 each for up to 10 good articles (4 remaining) or for making list of furry conventions, list of furry comics or list of furry role-playing games a featured list.
Offerers: Rat and GreenReaper
Date offered: October 9, 2007
Expires: July 1, 2009
Limit on topics: Must fall within the theme of WikiProject Furry and be "in the furry community," not merely "something [some] furries are interested in." As a rough guide, topics falling within Category:Furry fandom are a good sign, while topics around before the late 1960s/early 1970s (before the furry community existed) are unlikely to count, as are creative properties or characters developed by large companies. For example: The Lion King, Set (mythology), or Miles "Tails" Prower would not be suitable, while Albedo Anthropomorphics, fursuit or furry convention would. All non-related-topic entries in {{furry fandom}} are good choices. If in doubt, contact offerers in advance.
Limit on rewards: Only the first featured article and the first ten good articles will receive a bounty.
Notes: Collaborative contributions accepted. See featured article bounty and good article bounty on WP:FURRY talk for more details.
Awarded:

Furry convention: $50 to Zscout370 on 2007-10-28

Jack: $50 to ISD on 2007-11-02

Kevin and Kell: $50 to ISD on 2007-12-02

Any article stagnated by POV pushers

Offerer: Rat
Date offered: 09:09, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
Request: Bring to featured article status an article that has been stagnated by POV pushers. This reward is intended for the one person(maybe two) who takes on the task of single-handedly bringing it up to FA status(but the editor is not disqualified if he/she gets comparatively minor contributions from other editors.) Article must meet the following criteria as of the timestamp above: 1. At least two years old as an actual article. 2. Less than 250 words of prose that is neither advocacy-speak nor "Criticism of X". 3. The subject of at least one edit war over POV (even a slow edit war). 4. Article doesn't properly belong in a larger article (this is mainly to exclude POV forks and articles that are short simply because the topic is too narrow, feel free to ask beforehand if not sure)
Further explanation

Article starts off meeting those four criteria as of the creation of this offer.
Editor improves the article and gets it promoted to featured article before May 31, 2009
Editor drops me a note.

Any article about small-town Saskatchewan

Offerer: Rat
Date offered: Rat at WikiFur (talk) 21:45, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Request: Bring to featured article status any article about a small town in Saskatchewan. Applies to any town, village, hamlet, Indian reservation, or small city with less than 20,000 people as of this date.
- It's not a reward for nominating, or voting for an article. It's a bounty for any edit that helps an article match the featured article criteria.
- It's possible that multiple people worked on bringing an article to featured status. I'll provide a place for contributors to provide diffs showing how much they contributed to bringing the article to featured status and divide the bounty proportionally. Editors will have 14 days to show what their proportion is, after that, the entire bounty will be paid according to the diffs provided, and no further claims will be accepted.
Reward: 60CDN$

Photograph of Crush 40

Offeror: Red Phoenix ^{flame of life...}^{protector of all...}
Date offered: 18:23, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Request: I need a free photograph (includes GFDL or CC) of Crush 40, featuring both band members Johnny Gioeli and Jun Senoue (since you're not going to find the entire band together in one photo, though they are still playing). Unfortunately, they don't perform live, so you won't be able to find a photo someone took at a show for it. My recommendation is to ask for permission for one of the photos of them at their MySpace page or at Jun Senoue's official fansite (a better quality image is better) and have it uploaded with validated OTRS. Copyright violations and fair use images will not count, since this is being used for an infobox. I'm also very good at picking out copyright violations, so don't try it, either.
Reward: I'll give you one of two things and you can take your pick of which one: a barnstar or I will copyedit an article of your choice.
Limit on rewards: I only need one photo, but if you can get two, I'll give you one of each of the above.
Expires: July 10, 2010
Note Already asked for permission on Crush 40's Myspace page. Hopefully they'll respond. -down load | sign! 23:04, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
