 * ... that the Project for Awesome is an annual online charity fundraiser launched by the Green brothers in 2007?
 * (special occasion request for December 17, date is the beginning of the annual P4A)

Created/expanded by Soulbust (talk). Self nominated at 07:24, 4 November 2014 (UTC).


 * Symbol question.svg Long enough, well cited, and no apparent policy issues. However, the article does not appear to have been expanded fivefold in the seven days preceding its nomination, nor was it (at the time of nomination) less than seven days old. By my (admittedly unscientific) count, on 3 October 2014 (the revision of the article before Soulbust began recent work on expanding and improving it) the article consisted of 1,420 characters, while the current revision (as of 10 November 2014) has 2,445 characters. This constitutes less than twofold expansion. On the brighter side, the hook is short enough, neutral, cited, and interesting. Other than the issue with the lack of either significant recent expansion or sufficient recency, this article looks good. I certainly enjoyed reading and reviewing it.
