Around $ 46 billion." It doesn't say it's in charities. Further, the article has more stats that might be worth adding 737:
and I find it hard to imagine these problems could be fixed in a week. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I'd be happy to clarify if anything is not clear but I think this will take some work before becoming a good article. I was going to suggest consulting WikiProject Philosophy then I saw there is

I'll have more of a handle on this after reading the whole article, but this isn't how I would imagine the article would begin. Right now this first paragraph feels like an advert for Deworm the World, whereas I would be expecting mention of who first came up with the idea and an introduction to the

Having had a close read of this article, there are I think structural issues here. I would expect an article on effective altruism to begin by saying where the name came from, when it was first proposed, who proposed it, what books/articles are seminal and so on. Compare for example our articles on

Other animal initiatives affiliated with effective altruism include Animal Ethics' and Wild Animal Initiative's work on wild animal suffering, addressing farm animal suffering with cultured meat, and expanding the circle of concern so that people care more about all kinds of animals. - does this

Examples of causes include providing food for those with food insecurity, protecting endangered species, mitigating climate change, reforming immigration policy, researching cures for illnesses, preventing sexual violence, alleviating poverty, eliminating factory farming, or averting nuclear

701:. Instead we start with a paragraph focused mainly on Deworm the World. The article does a good job of giving examples of groups/people engaging in effective altruism but unfortunately could do a lot better in explaining what it is. 423:
First off, I'm quite confused by the talk page, since normally the newest discussions are at the bottom of the page, although it's cool to see lots of discussion on how to improve the page since

The article is not reading very well to me I'm afraid, we seem to be veering from topic to topic without signposting

Overall I'm going to quickfail this now since the article in its current state does not meet 1 and 3 of the

More detailed comments would follow but I'm afraid this article already needs a lot of work. More below.

Earwig gives some high hits, mostly quotes but there's a bit of closeparaphrasing in "Cause priorities"

I would expect at least some of the information here at the beginning of the article, not at the end

The prose could be improved as there are quite a lot of single sentence paragraphs

lots of names mentioned without saying who they are or where they are writing

Note: this represents where the article stands relative to the

Only one sentence of explanation before going into examples

this section could be pulled together into two paragrpahs

This will need some work, I'll come back to it last
