I didn't know that there were people actually offering money in Wikipedia to complete articles on certain topics. Looks to me like a good way for a poor college student (like I was at one time) to earn enough money for a night out after 20 hours of work or so on the computer.
Wait, what? WTF is the difference between the
Wikipedia:Reward board and what Greg Kohs was doing?
Welcome to the Review, Bob Boy! This has been an unending topic of conversation since I've joined and long before.
The short answer is that Kohs was promoting an external business venture, whereas Wikipedians who answer the Reward Board are just looking for a little cash as extra incentive to approve Wikipedia. The long answer would require yet another debate on whether there's any substantive difference between the Reward Board and Wikipedia Review.
