Hi folks,

I hope this is the right place to post. I just wanted to let people know about some HITs we're trying to get done on MT. The requester name is "Robert Biggs" and the titles are:

Identification of Bribery or Corruption from News Reports
Identification of Corporate Issues from News Reports
Identification of Financial Crime from News Reports
Identification of Serious Crime from News Reports
Identification of Source of Wealth from News Reports
Identification of Terrorism or Funding of Terrorism from News Reports
Identification of Ultimate Beneficial Owner from News Reports

We're looking for people to read a short news report and then select the people/organisations (if any) who have been involved in some activity, according to the report (I wanted to link to the tasks, but not sure how to do that). We're looking for Master-qualified turkers currently. One of the tasks has 80% completion currently, and the current average time taken on that task is 35 seconds (other tasks should be similar). Each HIT is worth $0.10.

Any questions, please let me know. Also, if anyone has any advice on improving the HITs, I'd welcome any advice, we're pretty new to this.

Thanks,

Dean.

Did you get whooshed by that storm last night? Our power was out for an hour +

err.. I don't think it rained here.
grass isn't wet

We had a storm blow in for like 5 minutes.... 40-60mph gusts... blew my kid's playhouse across the yard, brought down tons of branches... wild times.

Do I have to actually try the Vaca qual to have salt when people post earnings from them?

 

[LindaR]

Question of the day; will coffee make my headache go away or just more noticeable?

It should help it to go away. It works for me.

Hello. haven't seen you around much, how are you doing?

I'm here almost every day I'm doing good, how're you?

 

[ElleWoods]

I'm here almost every day I'm doing good, how're you?

Must be off times, or I could be going senile, this is totally possible. "P I'm also good, too, as well.

 

[ctraltDel]

Did someone protest the pay drop on unspuns and get them back to where they were?

 

[The Bad Ash]

That vacation qual was a be-atch but I knocked it out

I'm just virtually walking around the neighborhood trying to find the house...

Salt is free.

 

[Shockwave]

I'm just virtually walking around the neighborhood trying to find the house...

I'm so lost, the one I got does not have a picture of the front of the house. I've been scouring so many records... help me...

Question of the day; will coffee make my headache go away or just more noticeable?

caffeine can be used to treat headaches, as long as those headaches are not caused by blood pressure.

I'm not either. last time everyone gave the wrong parcel number, because it went to the same people different location,

but according to the city records there was another one for the exact location. When I gave the requester the website, he said it didnt' matter if it was correct, because it had to go with majority, and the people would receive packets, so it was ok. this also meant that even though I had the correct parcel number, I was marked inconsistent with the group

Which doesn't match what they claim on their instructions. That's crazy. You'd think you'd have been the only one to get the qual if everyone else was wrong. Finished mine this morning. I'm pretty certain of all of my information, so hopefully...
