Water bear

 * Offeror: ···V ani s che nu「m/Talk」 21:34, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Date offered: 21:34, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Expires:1 April 2014
 * Objective:Make the article "Tardigrade" appear on Main Page.
 * Mission briefing:Practically, there are two methods by which this can be accomplished,
 * Option 1:Raise the article to FA status.
 * Option 2:Expand the article 5 times.
 * Reward:A brand new surprising barnstar! In addition to this, two conventional barnstars (you can predict them!) will be given to each user. (Thus, 3 barnstars for each winner). And above all, to be honored to receive a barnstar from Vanischenu!
 * Limit on rewards: Only for upto 5 editors.

What does "Expand the article 5 times" mean? I ask because it's probably too late to have the article at FA status by April 1 – not that I plan to work on this article. Tezero (talk) 21:40, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The 5x expansion refers to the Did you know rule A4 which is about expanding the prose of an article to five times what it was within about five days. In case you didn't know, the Did You Know section is usually found on the main page, just below the featured article of the day. At this point the Water Bear article has 10392 characters of prose and that would mean expanding it to 51960 or more characters.  Green Giant  ( edits ) ( talk )  00:47, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
