    Probably the same page as mine. I kept looking for QCs, but her tasks were so mind-numbingly verbose. Worth the money, but it still took me a bit over an hour an a half because I had to re-read almost everything. No matter how carefully I read, I didn't see the QC until I hit next, in that split second before the next page loads. I'm fairly sure I answered it correctly anyway, but I'm not completely certain and I'm gonna be a nervous wreck until it approves (or rejects).

    I have the D W qual, but only for Soundcloud. I only did a few of the Facebook ones in that initial batch (I hate the Facebook interface so I didn't like them), but I did 500+ for Soundcloud over 3 days. I would've done more but the 5-day approval was making me anxious, so I stopped.

    I'm guessing the other 8 people who have the Soundcloud qual are the same as the ones who have the FB qual since Soundcloud shows 9 and FB shows 8. Though when I woke up it said each had 8, and that was including myself with just one of the quals, so maybe it doesn't overlap, I have no idea.

    I had communicated back and forth with the requester with questions about some things for that first batch (eg whether to submit the artist's record label page if that has official music on it), but he never reached out to me about a qual or anything like that. I logged-on this afternoon and read about it on the forum, and then saw that I had it.

    I can do them accurately very quickly because I can sight read and also know a lot about music, though I imagine there are other users on here with similar skills, so who knows. I also left notes with clear reasons for ones that I was not totally certain about, and did a little extra leg work for musicians that were unfamiliar to me or pages that were vague to make sure I had the right info/right page, etc.

    I know he was having issues with some of the data submitted for common names, non-English artists, and fan pages etc, so perhaps that is why he went to a qual. But if he wants this to get done in less than a week, he's going to need to give it to more people. I know the other batch lasted 4-5 days (I think??), and that was with no qual.

    Also, I have been working on them for the past 6 hours on and off, and the number is doing down very slowly, and at one point earlier was going up slowly. So either he is adding more, or re-adding ones that don't come back with a result for QA purposes, not sure.

    Sorry for all the text!

    I have the soundcloud qual, but not the facebook one. I did about 20x more facebook ones than soundcloud ones.... So that doesn't make much sense.

    Thanks! I actually felt bad about getting it, and was hesitant to post about it, because I know how much it sucks to hear people brag about Masters or allegedly making hundreds of dollars a day, etc.

    I have the Facebook qual. I emailed about getting the soundcloud qual but never got a response. He has always been great about answering questions in the past so I think he might have had the holiday off.

    I've done over 500 of the Facebook ones and the numbers on that batch went from 5005 to 4999.

    Do you want to trade? I have the soundcloud one, but I don't really like it.

    This Facebook batch isn't that great. Too many dead people. And pages in different languages.

    After so many n/a's, I got bored.

    And started leaving responses for my n/a's like... He is chillin with Michael. Or Whitney. Sometimes Elvis. Pretty sure I said something like he is chillin in the cemetery with Sammy Davis Jr.

    I hope this guy has a sense of humor. Because after so many hits, I just have to amuse myself.
