- Soo
- 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)
- 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)

- Bounty offerer
- User:ulflarsen
- Expiration
- May 31, 2007
- Notes
- The article is not balanced and have various statements that are not based on good sources, see my comments on the discussion page.

- $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.
[edit] Bob Mizer

- raised from $10.00 USD to $20.00 USD (Asarkees 20:34, 3 June 2006 (UTC))
- 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.
[edit] Buddhism
- 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.
[edit] Diggers
- 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.
[edit] An African country
- 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)
- 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.)

- 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.

- 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.
