That's a *great* idea IMO and quite easy not
to make a COI.
Can anyone else here see a problem with this idea?
Possible PR issues? "Wikimedia, which ran a donation drive only X
months ago, is already throwing money at Amazon..."
As an alternative to improving _any_ article as Steve initially
suggested, if the MTurk Experiences and HIT templates could be set up,
individual Wikipedians could pay for the HITs regarding a specific
article that they want to see improved. That way the existing funds
are clearly not being used and the community can get a feel for how
well it works.
As an example, I would like some nice images added to the commons and
a digitised copy of some public domain sources added to wikisource,
and would be willing to pay for someone to do the leg work so that I
can use them to improve a wikipedia article.
