Trust me Rex, I will never classify this contest as WP:PAY. If you it is then you're saying we shouldn't organize contests to improve articles?
Also to *you* contests such as Welcome to Setswana Wikipedia Challenge <http://www.google.com/events/setswana-wiki/index.html> by Google in Botswana, and others, was WP:PAY <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:PAY>? I recommend you read all about WP:PAY before putting good initiatives in the hole! :P Thanks Rupert for passing by. WP:PAY = Paid Editing :) Best Regards!
