The Wikipedia Bounty Board was created in October 2005 and marked historical in November 2013. It was
NPOV
encyclopedia, and a monetary reward page should not be part of Wikipedia's structure.
The board allowed any user to post monetary bounties for completing Wikipedia-related tasks. If the Bounty Hunters completed the task, the person offering the bounty – known as the Bounty Keeper – donates the bounty money to the Wikimedia Foundation in the name of the Bounty Hunters who worked so hard on the task. The Wikimedia Foundation is the non-profit organization which runs Wikipedia. (Donating money in the name of someone else is called alternative giving.)
Normally, the task was to improve an article to either
featured article
status.
