User talk:SB509Coml/Giving Tuesday

SB509Coml – Thank you for your unique article selection! I had very little knowledge behind GivingTuesday before reviewing the Wikipedia article as well as some of the sources.

First of all, this article is rated as a start class which means it has plenty of room for improvement and a great opportunity for you to make some impactful changes. The article has a great start with a detailed breakdown of the money moved by year. It also appears to have a decent amount of sources cited. I agree with all of your suggestions to adjust grammar/punctuation and especially the opportunity the article has with improving the 2020 section as well as the COVID-19 impacts.

I did see a few items that could use some improvement as well. The intro section introduces the concept of GivingTuesday with a quote from the actual nonprofit site, but there is not a restated overall purpose statement in anyone’s own words. I also feel like there is a lack of examples of what GivingTuesday can be other than just monetary donations. When I visited https://hq.givingtuesday.org I noticed there is also mention of acts of generosity. Maybe there is a way for you to expand upon that. I was a bit confused by the title of the section Reception. After reading through the section, I better understood what the original poster was going for, but I feel like there are better words to describe that. Suggestions: sentiment, response, recognition, outcome, acknowledgement. Finally, within that same section I thought the following statement may need to be rewritten, as I felt it was not completely neutral: “Reception of GivingTuesday has generally been positive, with a large number of organizations.”

I look forward to seeing your improvements! Please reach out if you’d like any additional help or feedback.
