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!

Trust me, paid editing is in itself, "Conflictingly Interesting"

hi rex, paid editing usually means that you edit the article you are paid for. and therefore a conflict of interest comes with it. here you are encouraged to improve what seems necessary from a wikipedia standpoint. besides that there are only a couple of prices.

Will it not be said as the paid editing? Because the winners will be
paid money, or vouchers or whatever because of their edits.
I hardly see any difference between this and paid editing. Its like encouraging someone to edit anything he likes, and reimbursing him or her at the end.
