Request: Bring Robert G. Ingersoll to Featured Article status.
Reward: $25 USD via PayPal.

Expires: June 8, 2009 (the 200th anniversary of the death of Thomas Paine).
Note: I am an established editor using a single-purpose account to post and offer these bounties. I realize it's unusual, but I don't wish to broadcast my religious views to the public out of employment and safety concerns. Don't hesitate to contact me on this account's user talk page if you need anything. =)

[edit] Furry articles

Reward: $150 for a featured article, $50 each for up to 10 good articles (4 remaining) or for making list of furry conventions, list of furry comics or list of furry role-playing games a featured list.
Offerers: Rat and GreenReaper
Date offered: October 9, 2007
Expires: July 1, 2009
Limit on topics: Must fall within the theme of WikiProject Furry and be "in the furry community," not merely "something [some] furries are interested in." As a rough guide, topics falling within Category:Furry fandom are a good sign, while topics around before the late 1960s/early 1970s (before the furry community existed) are unlikely to count, as are creative properties or characters developed by large companies. For example: The Lion King, Set (mythology), or Miles "Tails" Prower would not be suitable, while Albedo Anthropomorphics, fursuit or furry convention would. All non-related-topic entries in {{furry fandom}} are good choices. If in doubt, contact offerers in advance.
Limit on rewards: Only the first featured article and the first ten good articles will receive a bounty.
Notes: Collaborative contributions accepted. See featured article bounty and good article bounty on WP:FURRY talk for more details.
Awarded:

Furry convention: $50 to Zscout370 on 2007-10-28
