Does every fact in a Mahalo Task need a source reference?

What percentage of information needs to be completed before the task will be approved?

What if you can not find a request fact?

I had 10 rejects yesterday. Why didn't Mahalo fill in the missing information, if they knew the answer? Is this about conformity to the Mahalo rules?

In case you missed last Monday's tutorial lesson on the barnraising contest, all the information is here... Mahalo Tutorials.

As a general rule, anything that is not general knowledge should have a source reference.

As Lon states in the tutorial video the task requires four sections to be filled in, the introduction to the page, the fast facts, a history sections and competitors. If those four are not filled out it will be rejected regardless.

If you can't find a requested fact then hit the n/a button next to it.

As far as your question "Why didn't Mahalo fill in the missing information, if they knew the answer?" The whole idea of doing this contest is to have the public get involved. This means you do the work, you get paid.

I really suggest you watch the barnraising video found here Mahalo Tutorials. They go through everything and even complete a task in front of you.

Good luck!

I missed the training. Mahalo should have the required items marked with a color. A disclaimer that it was in the training is substandard. We are in a hurry and competing for the money. All these rules trip us up and make us angry.

I reclaimed and added competitors but the tasks haven't been approved.
