I’ll review this one. Courcelles (talk) 23:47, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How much revenue was expected from the first head tax of 25 per employee?
- Already mentioned in the second paragraph: amid the economic recession and a lower-than-expected annual revenue of $4.7 million

Otherwise I find an article that meets all the criteria. Courcelles (talk) 23:55, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Courcelles: Thanks for the review. I've answered your question above, though I'm not against adding the 2008 revenue, as it was an actual calculation rather than a forthcoming estimate. Sounder Bruce 00:00, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That was the revenue generated, I’m wondering what was the expectated revenue? Courcelles (talk) 00:12, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Courcelles: Added projections for 2008 and the nine-year lifetime of the levy. Sounder Bruce 02:05, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, promoting. Courcelles (talk) 02:55, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
