- 04:5604:56, 18 April 2022 diff hist +19 Effective altruism →Animal welfare: Reworded as I think "caring" is less pertinent than prioritization for the sake of the article
14 February 2022
- 03:5303:53, 14 February 2022 diff hist +2,177 Talk:Effective altruism →Animal welfare: Added proposed language to clean up animal welfare section
23 January 2022

- 20:1020:10, 23 January 2022 diff hist +33 Audre Lorde →Early life: Reworked for the purpose of clarity

22 January 2022
- 03:5703:57, 22 January 2022 diff hist +26 Measles changed wording to make less colloquial
17 January 2022
- 02:3702:37, 17 January 2022 diff hist +2 Cristina Bicchieri →Social norms: changed word choice for clarity
16 January 2022

- 04:4404:44, 16 January 2022 diff hist +6 Founders Pledge →History: copy-edit for grammar
- 04:2704:27, 16 January 2022 diff hist +4 Effective altruism →Entrepreneurship: copyedit for style
- 04:2604:26, 16 January 2022 diff hist +39 Effective altruism →Entrepreneurship: made minor stylistic changes; "non-profits" sounds fairly casual
12 January 2022
- 06:0306:03, 12 January 2022 diff hist +32 Effective altruism →Donation: Added more precision on the estimate of the money committed to effective altruism. In the source, the author characterizes the numbers as "very, very rough"
- 05:5405:54, 12 January 2022 diff hist +13 Effective altruism →Career choice: added phrase for flow
- 05:5305:53, 12 January 2022 diff hist +185 Effective altruism →Career choice: Added two transition sentences to link to the second half of the paragraph
- 05:3905:39, 12 January 2022 diff hist +16 Effective altruism →Career choice: edited to align tone with article and to include the relative prominence of earning to give. Open to alternative terms in lieu of "prominent": oft-discussed? well-known?
- 05:3005:30, 12 January 2022 diff hist +13 Effective altruism Added "an estimated" to the 2019 donation amount, as that number comes from an estimate from one researcher, Benjamin Todd, who characterizes the numbers as "extremely rough estimates." Open to even more careful language (i.e. "one researcher estimates...) but wasn't sure if that was appropriate for the lead
7 January 2022
- 06:0206:02, 7 January 2022 diff hist +1 Global Burden of Disease Study Regularized formatting and removed extra space
6 January 2022
- 05:5205:52, 6 January 2022 diff hist +242 Talk:Effective altruism →Improving sourcing: Responded
5 January 2022
- 05:4005:40, 5 January 2022 diff hist +318 Talk:Effective Altruism Global Added section on sourcing issues
- 05:3305:33, 5 January 2022 diff hist +52 Effective Altruism Global →History: Added citation needed flag. Many of the claims in this section lack sourcing, particularly in the second, fourth, and final paragraphs
- 05:2805:28, 5 January 2022 diff hist +223 Wikipedia:WikiProject Effective Altruism/to do →Articles to improve: added article for improvement
- 05:1805:18, 5 January 2022 diff hist +1,002 Talk:Effective altruism →Definition of Effective Altruism: added thoughts on GA review to talk page
- 05:0005:00, 5 January 2022 diff hist +1,189 Talk:Effective altruism Added section on sourcing issues

- 04:2204:22, 5 January 2022 diff hist −4 Effective altruism →History: removed link as it linked to the book rather than the organization
28 December 2021
- 20:3120:31, 28 December 2021 diff hist +84 Cari Tuna Added reference to her prominence within effective altruism, as it's highlighted by multiple sources. Open to different wording--could also be something along the lines of "much of her philanthropic giving has followed the principles of effective altruism"?
27 December 2021
- 23:5423:54, 27 December 2021 diff hist +124 Effective altruism →Animal welfare: added an initial sentence to signal that this paragraph is focused on orgs
- 23:4923:49, 27 December 2021 diff hist +12 Effective altruism →Career choice: added transitional word
- 23:4823:48, 27 December 2021 diff hist +133 Effective altruism →Career choice: Reworked the first sentence so that it sets up the whole paragraph rather than only the first few sentences and reworked the second sentence so that it provides an appropriate transition
- 23:4023:40, 27 December 2021 diff hist +4 Effective altruism →Donation: added "and" for grammatical reasons
- 23:3923:39, 27 December 2021 diff hist +3 Effective altruism →Donation: Changed word choice
- 23:3823:38, 27 December 2021 diff hist +17 Effective altruism →Donation: Reworded due to grammatical issues
- 23:3223:32, 27 December 2021 diff hist +782 Effective altruism →Key figures: Added Cari Tuna to the list of key figures. As a co-founder of Good Ventures, and a key figure at Open Philanthropy, one of the most prominent organizations in EA, she merits inclusion on this list
- 23:2423:24, 27 December 2021 diff hist +107 Effective altruism →Counterfactual reasoning: Added in a sentence to segue into the specific example provided here and to provide the context that counterfactual thinking is used in other contexts as well
- 23:2323:23, 27 December 2021 diff hist +92 Effective altruism →Counterfactual reasoning: Added a sentence briefly defining counterfactual thinking for the purpose of clarity
- 17:3917:39, 27 December 2021 diff hist +65 Disability-adjusted life year →Criticism: Changed wording in several places to remove original research and reframe this as a debate rather than a settled question. This paragraph needs further attention, but this is a first pass
- 17:3417:34, 27 December 2021 diff hist +174 Disability-adjusted life year →Criticism: Added a cleanup flag for this section due to the listed issues.
- 17:1417:14, 27 December 2021 diff hist −20 Global Burden of Disease Study Edited sentence to improve grammar
26 December 2021
- 00:3600:36, 26 December 2021 diff hist −11 Effective altruism Reworded beginning of sentence in order to improve clarity. I found the first clause a bit wordy, and thought that bringing in the idea of "cause areas" in the lead could be helpful. Very open to alternatives.
18 December 2021
- 23:0923:09, 18 December 2021 diff hist 0 m Effective altruism →Animal welfare: copy-edit for consistency
- 23:0823:08, 18 December 2021 diff hist 0 m Effective altruism →Cost-effectiveness: copy-edit for consistency
- 23:0723:07, 18 December 2021 diff hist 0 m Effective altruism →Global poverty alleviation: copy-edit
- 22:5422:54, 18 December 2021 diff hist +25 Effective altruism Added mention that a key practice of effective altruism is where donations are going. Used phrase "evidence-based causes"; very open to other alternatives
- 22:4122:41, 18 December 2021 diff hist 0 Effective altruism Moved two sentences on how the philosophy of effective altruism can be more broadly applied so that they follow, rather than precede, information about the movement as most commonly practiced. I think it makes sense to have the core information first, and follows the emphasis guidelines in WP:MOSLEAD
- 22:2822:28, 18 December 2021 diff hist +382 Effective altruism →Cost-effectiveness: Added in reference concerning usage of QALYs
