A Guide Note is a clear and concise paragraph or two that details the most important pieces of information about the subject.

Normally a payment of $0.25 is offered per accepted guide note and also 10 points towards your next belt level.

An example follows of my guide note for shine-movie
Shine is based on the true story of Australian pianist David Helfgott. The story details Helfgott's rise as a child piano prodigy while suffering abuse at the hands of his father, who was traumatized as a WWII concentration camp prisoner. Helfgott leaves Australia to study overseas and suffers a breakdown, after which he is institutionalized in his come country. After being released, Helfgott returns to piano playing and finds fulfillment and inner peace.

The film stars Geoffrey Rush, Armin Mueller-Stahl and Noah Taylor. Lynn Redgrave and John Gielgud also have supportive roles. The original screenplay was written by Jan Sardi and Scott Hicks wrote the storyline.

It's basically writing a couple introduction paragraphs for a page on Mahalo. There are a lot of pages that have been started, but no one has written introduction information for them. So the tasks are there to encourage people to write them.

A guide note is a brief description of a search term. It explains what the term is, and why it is important. The guide note should be the very first thing placed on the page, as Google will pick it up as an abstract when the page is a written. If a page is created without a note, Google will pick up whatever it sees first on the page, which could be irrelevant ad content.

Although anyone can create a page on Mahalo, the tasks are for pages that Mahalo wants to encourage people to build, and because they particularly want these pages, they are offering a tip and points for someone to write them.
