User:Naerii/Reward

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Writing quality Wikipedia articles can take a lot of time and effort for editors. This time is obviously usually given for free by our editors and as a result many Wikipedia editors never push an article to GA quality or higher. We have over 2 million articles and only around 6000 articles that have been given a 'quality' status. The vast majority of 'basic' topics languish at B class or lower, particularly articles that are victims of Wikipedia's systemic bias. Therefore, in an attempt to provide a tiny bit more motivation for our editors, I will give a reward to editors who improve the articles listed below significantly.

Details

[edit]
  1. $50 USD or the equivalent in your currency for good articles
  2. $100 USD or the equivalent in your currency for featured articles
  3. The reward is being offered jointly by myself, User:Naerii ($40/$70), and User:Kaldari ($10/$30).
  4. If more than one editor contributes significantly to the article then the reward will not be shared, they will both receive the above specified amount
  5. The money will be transferred via Paypal or an Amazon gift certificate
  6. Contact me on my talk page or via email to be rewarded. There may be a wait of up to a week.
  7. I will give a maximum of one reward per week - if two people message me in the same week the second person to contact me will receive their reward the week after
  8. If I go on a break and haven't been editing for a while I probably won't be around to reward you. You should probably let me know if you're planning on improving one of these so I can be around to imburse you :)

Caveats

[edit]
  1. The article must remain listed for at least three weeks after promotion without undergoing a review here or here.
  2. If you edit war or cause disruption in your attempts to bring an article up that status to get a reward - be aware that I will be reviewing the history of every article for myself and if I see any shady behaviour I will be withdrawing the reward for that article. So please don't try to game the system.
