    In the case of this link: http://www.mes.ad/ none of the articles are clickable and I can't determine if it's original content or not. It seems that this is a periodical that generates it's own news, so what should I enter for Box A, B, and C?

    EDIT: Timer's running out, this is what I submitted

    Box A: La Seu d'Urgell is a positive educational assistance project started three months ago (NOTE: Articles Not Clickable)
    Box B: Not able to determine
    Box C: Unsure

    If you consider me for the qualification still and would rather have me do something different in these situations, just let me know.

    Should this be marked as "Domain Not Active", as opposed to spam? Or does it not matter as long as it's flagged either as Spam/inactive?

    Just did my 1st test HIT, and I am a little confused. For Box B, do I put the URL of the site that the link from the news website directed me to.

    For example:

    The link took me to: http://www.indexmundi.com/news.aspx?country=Andorra

    I clicked on the 1st news link, and it took me to: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/andorra-telecom-selects-netcracker-deliver-130000694.html

    What do I put in Box B?

    I put: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/andorra-telecom-selects-netcracker-deliver-130000694.html

    Is that correct? I hope I don't get a rejection...:confused:

    I did all 8 yesterday and I'm still confused. What to put in B was not clear. All the hits were approved. Not sure if I received the qualification to do the main batch?

    News Organisations Specialist HITs are not available. Will more HITs will be uploaded in this batch or more turkers will be qualified for Masters news organisation.

    The HITs had timed out, we have extended the batch by 2 days, so they should be available. Any yes more NOS HITs should be coming available.

    Hi,

    Only Y or N should go in Box C. If unsure let us know why in Box B, but give us your best opinion in Box C. There are many websites like this that ask you to make an evaluation. This evaluation is part of the selection process for the Master qual.

    Hope that helps.

    DR

    Bobbie,

    Shoot us a DM on Mturk, since you did it in different stages we might have discarded your results if we only saw 1 HIT completed. Teh DM will give us your Worker ID so we can search the data set.

    As a notice to others, try to do this in one go, otherwise we may not see all your HITs together and not assign you the qual.

    DR

    Hi there,

    I just had a quick question about pasting the title in English. Do you want both the English translation AND the original language title pasted into the HITs? Something like this?

    Beder Herrera delivered 50 scriptures Catuna neighbors (Beder Herrera entregó 50 escrituras a vecinos de Catuna)

    Or do you prefer only the English title where possible to translate it?

    Thank you and I look forward to working on your HITs! :)

    If it is a foreign website, you can either translate it (preferred option) or just copy it in it's original language.

    I accidentally put spam in B and not A. That was dumb of me. I marked N in C though. I read the directions more than once.

    If you can give us both that would be fantastic. If soemtimes you can't give us the English translation, it's not the end of the world.

    So, I've been getting a few sites that seem legitimate in their own context but I wouldn't really consider them news organizations. I just came a cross this site: http://antiguapressreleases.com/ which is basically just informative articles or guides, but not news stories, though the content seems all original. How would you like us to mark these?

    I've been pasting one of the article titles in Answer box A, N/A in B, and N in C since I wouldn't consider it a news organization. Is that correct or should just write a statement in Answer box A like "Not a News Organization"?

    okay, so in the case I stated, my intuition is telling me to put Y in box C. When will you be reviewing this set of HITs? And will you offer a second chance to qualify if you didn't find my first set of answers acceptable?

    Thanks for your presence on the forum, it's much easier than email.
