Claimed bounties edit

NATO-Russian Relations edit

Amount: $25 USD
Bounty Offerer: Dar-Ape
Expiration: 2008-12-31 at 23:59 UTC
Note: Really, this article is a travesty. Just making it of decent quality, not necessarily GA, will get you this bounty, but of course if you want to make it GA or even FA, don't let me stop you!
Paid: Nov 23, 2008, collected by User:Kainaw

Transwiki watchlist tool edit

Amount: $50 USD Bounty offerer MrZaiustalk 11:12, 15 May 2009 (UTC) (Anyone else want in? Surely I'm not the only one who'd want this.) Expiration date Projected retirement date, ~2038 - Maximum of a single payout. Notes: Develop an open-source, web-based tool or mediawiki extension allowing for aggregating watchlists from multiple sites accessible from the tool's host (ie, a corporate intranet). Preexisting stand-alone client side tools and/or browser extensions are unacceptable solutions to this problem due to security reasons and lack of portability. While it would be acceptable for the watchlist tool to be limited in scope to Wikimedia projects, it would be much preferred if it were able to also parse Wikia and unaffiliated hosts's watchlists. Bonus! $15 extra for a tool that mimicks popups with tools in a host-neutral manner.

Done

Introducing Watchlistr - a transwiki watchlist tool. It can parse any mediawiki-based wiki, but currently only includes the Wikimedia projects (because I'm not sure what other wikis would be good to include). Does not currently mimic Popups, but it's only in Beta (so that might be a future addition). I'm still doing some testing on it, so you might encounter some error messages here and there — tell me if you come across any. Also, let me know if there's anything else you would like added to it.

I will match this. Dalf | Talk 23:35, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Expiration

February 17 2007

Notes

Any country of any continent, I'm flexible. I'm also willing to take a fairly lenient definition of 'country', so microstates etc. are fair game. Ask me if you're unsure. Soo 01:41, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like Turkey and Germany, made it. Is there going to be another matching period during the fund drive? ~~I'll sign up for two more with the same deadline.~~ Going to change the paramaters a bit and put this back up. Dalf | Talk 22:58, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Terrible, horrible joke. -Utopianfiat 15:19, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nanking Massacre edit

Amount: US$20
Offerer: A little insignificant

You don't get the money. The Wikimedia Foundation does. GamerPro64 20:41, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Linvoy Primus edit

Amount: £20 for FA
Bounty offerer: User:Spiderone
Expiration: April 2014
Notes: A solid GA already and he has retired so the article is unlikely to have stability issues. Please notify me when this goes to WP:FAC and I can make the donation if it passes. Spiderone 09:13, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Suburban Express edit

Amount: US$300 donation to the Wikimedia Foundation or any legitimate charity (ie 501c3 status would be seen as an indication that charity is legitimate), but only to the extent that such an outside donation is permissible under Wikipedia rules.
Bounty Offerer: User:Suburban Express President
Revised Expiration: 2013-11-15 at 00:00 UTC

Note

I apologize if I am misunderstanding any element of this process or of Wikipedia rules in general. If so, please advise. The company I own, Suburban Express, has recently received negative "press", mostly in the form of blog postings criticizing our company for a tangled mess of issues. They can more or less distilled down to: 1) Criticism for pursuing cheaters. Some feel that using lawsuits to pursue debtors is somehow unfair to innocent little college students. But collection agencies want nothing to do with the small debts customers create for themselves. 2) Criticism for the manner in which a particular driver handled a foreign student. 3) Company reaction to false and defamatory information posted on a blog called Reddit.

These three issues have been mashed into one, and a handful of people are really fired up and doing everything they can to maximize damage to the reputation of Suburban Express. "Tech Blogs", which seem to have a vested interest in fanning flames to earn clicks and generate attention, have also worked hard to exploit the situation.

At this time, the Suburban Express article is chock full of inaccurate citations. By that, I mean that the article might say, "Suburban Express likes green eggs and ham" and cite Article A. But examination of Article A reveals that there is no such quote in Article A.

Also, the article lacks balance. Much of the quoted material is negative, and the Suburban Express "side" of the story has been left out. For instance, there are "admissible" quotes which discuss the types of situations which lead to collection suits (ie passengers printing multiple copies of one ticket and thereby stealing rides), but these either do not appear in the article, or they are immediately removed -- leaving one side of the story.

A $150 bounty is offered for syncing up the article with the cited articles, by removing statements which are not supported by the cited articles or by removing citations, and defending the article against re-posting of bad citations for 60 days.

A $150 bounty is offered for restoring reasonable balance to the article and maintaining same for 60 days.

The expiration date is indicative of the date by which I would like to see repairs made. The bounty would be paid 60 days thereafter and bonus bounty would be paid 6 months thereafter.

Again, if anything above is inappropriate, please advise this newbie.

While I did not accept this offer, please see Wikipedia_talk:Neutrality_cabal#Paid_editing. Biosthmors (talk) pls notify me (i.e. {{U}}) while signing a reply, thx 15:38, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Blood donation edit

Amount: US$100 for getting the article to FA status. $50 bonus if the article is the featured article on the 14th of June, 2011.
Bounty offerer: User:SDY
Expiration: 15 June 2011
Note: There is already a substantial article which I've spent some time with, but I'm too much of a WP:Wikisloth to actually truck it through the FA process. The 14th is a relevant day (World Blood Donor Day) so requesting this as a FA on that particular day is not arbitrary or ridiculous.

Several kinds of improvement to articles related to Firefly/Serenity (sci-fi) edit

Amount: Values range from approximately $6 to $31 as of this writing, depending upon improvements performed. See Wikipedia:Reward board#Firefly for details. I'm offering either tangible collectors' items as rewards, per WP:REWARDS, or their average eBay value as WikiMedia donations, per WP:BOUNTY, as chosen by the article improver doing the work. Either way, all completed bounties also include a barnstar reward.

Infinite-loop motif edit

Amount: US$25
Offerer: User:Jarhed
Expiration: When it becomes GA status or gets deleted, I don't care which

After finding no way to improve this article to meet standards for inclusion, I prod tagged it for deletion on April 17. Just before it was to expire, a user boldly moved it to userspace (at User:Cyclopia/Infinite loop motif) for further work. - Dravecky (talk) 14:04, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Metacafe edit

Amount: US$300 donation to the Wikimedia Foundation
Bounty Offerer: Metacafe (MetacafeTim (talk) 22:43, 8 September 2008 (UTC))[reply]
Expiration: 2008-10-31 at 00:00 UTC
Note: Metacafe just opened up their video metadata for Wiki editing with Wikicafe, but we realized that the Metacafe article on Wikipedia needs some love and attention. This bounty is to get an objective third party author to enhance the article to FA status by the expiratoin date. Good luck!

Daily Jolt edit

Amount: $20 USD
Bounty Offerer: Fishyfred
Expiration: When the new design goes live.
Notes: A fairly easy one. First order of business is restoring the NPOV. From there, a historical look at DJ might be appropriate as the Jolt continues to lose relevance to Facebook. It still fulfills a function as an anonymous college bulletin board.

Seton Hall University edit

Amount: 25 IMF SDRs, (approx $40)
Bounty Offerer: User: Mystache
Expiration: 1 August 2008
Notes: FA or bust. Will double the bounty if the article reaches FA before Rutgers University.

Amount: $50.00 USD
Bounty offerer: Xoloz
Expiration: February 1, 2008
Notes: ~~Article does not yet even exist.~~ (A good person has taken care of the first bit!) Annual award is bestowed in the United States to secondary school teachers, to which the bounty refers. However, a like additional bounty will be paid for articles on similar programs in other nations, up to a maximum of $400.00 USD total bounty. Half-bounty will be paid if, by the expiration, article(s) exists in non-stub form, even if not FA. Offerer has soft spot for teachers everywhere.

Full bounty extended for an additional year -- half bounty paid for US article's non-stub form as of February, 2007! Xoloz 15:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam edit

George W. Bush edit

Amount: $100.00 USD
Bounty offerer: Hall Monitor
Expiration: March 31 2006
Notes: One Benjamin Franklin in exchange for bringing this article up to a certified featured status. If said status can be attained for the likes of Tony Blair and Hugo Chávez, there is no reason the current U.S. president should not be able to as well, and I'm willing to put up $100 for the cause.

Bob Mizer edit

Amount: raised from $10.00 USD to $20.00 USD (Asarkees 20:34, 3 June 2006 (UTC))[reply]
Bounty offerer: asarkees
Expiration: July 1 2006
Notes: Extremely influencial American photographer and filmmaker, who arguably defined the male standard of beauty through his work. Founder of the Athletic Model Guild. Recently the subject of a film, Beefcake. The bounty is for a reasonably well-written, well-documented biographical article. It doesn't have to be too long, just complete and relevant.

Buddhism edit

Amount: $10.00 USD
Bounty offerer: Quadell
Expiration: June 7 2006
Notes: This was a featured article, and was recently removed for relatively minor reasons. It looks like just moving some main content to subpages and tidying up the text would bring it back to featured status.

Diggers edit

Amount: $10.00
Bounty offerer: Sherurcij
Expiration: April 2006
Notes: One of the aspects of centuries-old history that seems likely to be lost completely in 100 years, if there aren't continuing efforts to document it - as the internet is becoming the medium of choice for much research and documentation, and WP leads that, seems like a valid idea.

An African country edit

Amount

UK £15.00 (currently about USD $25).

Offered by

Matt Crypto

Expiration

1 May 2006 (if anyone wants this deadline extended because they plan to work, or have started work, on an article, then I'm very happy to do so).

You know, it's criminal that there are so few articles on African subjects. I'll do what I can, though my expertise is limited to some specific cases... I'll see what I can do (guinea-bissau, for example...). Pinkville 01:24, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notes: One bounty offered for a featured article on an African country article; that is, any of Algeria, Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Djibouti, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, Western Sahara, Zambia or Zimbabwe. (I can only commit to a bounty for one such article for the present; whichever is featured first.)

Political parties from least developed countries edit

Amount: £25 UK (about $40) an article, to a max of 2 articles
Bounty offerer: OpenToppedBus
Expiration date: June 1 2006 (can almost certainly be extended for anything you're working on at that date).
Notes: This bounty applies to any article on a political party from one of the least developed countries. I'm happy to apply a reasonably broad definition of "political party" - electoral alliances and coalitions qualify, though I would probably exclude something like the Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Congo which was more of a military alliance, unless it could be shown to have had candidates standing in an election. Ask me if you're not sure.

Rapid transit systems edit

Amount: £5 UK (about $8) an article, to a max of 5 articles
Bounty offerer: OpenToppedBus
Expiration date: June 1 2006
Notes: Any article on a rapid transit system. Excludes, of course, London Underground, Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) and MTR, which are already featured. An additional discretionary bonus may be paid if the article is on a system outside the industrialised west. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 12:49, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bank of Credit and Commerce International edit

Amount: $25.00 USD
Bounty offerer: Quadell

Battle of Blair Mountain edit

Amount: £25.00 UK (about $40 US)
Bounty offerer: OpenToppedBus
Expiration: July 2006
Notes: I'd never heard of this until I stumbled upon it, but now I want to hear more. A major event in US labor history, similar in importance to the Peterloo massacre in the UK. I've expanded it a lot from a single paragraph, but there's a long way to go.

Cosmetics edit

Amount: $10.00 USD
Bounty offerer: Guanaco
Expiration: December 25, 2006

Iran-Contra Affair edit

Amount: $15.00 USD
Bounty offerer: Quadell

Notes: Has a way to go.

Military-industrial complex II edit

Amount: $5.00 USD
Bounty offerer: Steve Latinner
Expiration: October 24 2006

Nonviolent resistance edit

Amount: $20.00 USD
Bounty offerer: Quadell
Expiration: October 24 2006
Notes: There's a lot of content there, but it's disorganized and needs some serious editing.

Religious Society of Friends edit

Amount: $15.00 USD
Bounty offerer: Quadell
Expiration: October 24 2006
Notes: It's nearly there already. Just needs a little organization and fleshing out.

Complexity classes edit

Amount: $25.00 USD per article, maximum two (for now).
