    A new qualification batch for the "News Organisation Specialist" (NOS) has been posted. Upon qualification you will be eligible for NOS tasks at $0.05 per HIT plus a $2.00 bonus for every 250 HITs completed to a high standard. If you have any questions, post them on here so the responses may benefit the whole community.

    Good luck!

    In order to acquire the qualification you must complete the NOS qualification test. If you have completed the test, it will take upto 24hrs for the test results to be marked and approved. If you have passed you will be notified.

    Unfortunately we do not have the necessary resources to reply to all personal inquiries.

    Please use this form for any task related questions/ issues.

    Thank you.

    Why do you instruct us to “Copy & Paste (in English) the title of the article you check in Answer Box A. (Do not copy & paste the URL)” and then give us non-English websites to check? I mean, WTF?

    Firstly, rudeness will not be tolerated. If you don't like the work, then our suggestion is that you look elsewhere.

    Secondly, as Reebs mentioned, you can use google translate. We will be changing the text to "in English where possible" in the next batch as Google does not translate some languages such as Cambodian (Khmer).

    What to do, if some news articles are taken from AP or Reuters etc.. and most of the articles are sourced by the site itself?. Should I classify the site as legitimate or not?

    One more, if the link is nor working or broken, then what should we do?

    Prakashkl,

    We see this a lot in the local news organisations, especially when they are trying to give national news too. In this case we suggest they are a legitimate news org, but make a note in Answer Box C with something like "Some outside content."

    I accidentally submitted one of the tests for a non-English website without the translation last night. I guess this will mean a rejection. Although it would be nice if you could find some way to ignore it if you feel that it can't be accepted. I think I got all of the other answers on that hit correct.

    THIS WILL NOT MEAN A REJECTION - Being in English makes it easier for us, but we are more concerned with whether you categorise the news organisations correctly.

    As long as you put something in all the boxes, it doesn't matter if it's translated or not. It just makes it easier for us to read 1000 responses.

    Today I was doing your hits, when I came to a website where when I clicked on the article I needed a username and password and pay to use the site. I ended up returning the hit. What would you like us to do in this situation?

    Great question!

    In answer box A put "Login Required" and in Answer Box B and C "N/A"

    We'll then investigate it further ourselves.

    I am putting N/A in Box B, SPAM or Parked Domain Box A and Box C. Am i right? Please update me.
    In these cases do we need to fill all the boxes compulsory?

    And also Is it must that we need to translate the TITLE and paste in Box A?
