I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 21:13, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Images are appropriately licensed. TechCrunch is a marginally reliable source (see WP:RSP) but I think it's OK for what you're using it for here; similarly for Fox News.

• The New York Post is a generally unreliable source; the article uses it several times. Can we replace this with another source?

  Mike Christie I don't see the New York Post in the citations. Am I missing something here? I have the New York Times cited a bunch of times. That's OK as a source though, right? Ruthgrace (talk) 23:45, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

  Yes, that's fine. The NY Post cite is [4]; "Big tech bankrolls BLM co-founder’s PAC, charities in exchange for support". Sorry, should have said that! Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 01:54, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

  Looks like there are three places where that citation is used. I removed two of them, since there were other citations there. For the remaining citation, this is the text I had

  Over $5.5 million to organizations controlled by Patrisse Cullors, a founder of the Black Lives Matter movement. Patrisse also engages in net neutrality advocacy, however Open Philanthropy has not given money to net neutrality causes “whether to Patrisse Cullors or any other organizations or individuals.”

  Would it be OK to keep the New York Post citation just to reference the 5.5M number ? I couldn't find another citation for it. I also added an additional citation for the relationship between Patrisse Cullors and Open Philanthropy (from the Washington Post, though it's an op-ed by the person who ran Open Phil's criminal justice program), and removed the bit about net neutrality since there aren't any reliable sources that talk about Open Philanthropy and net neutrality.

  Over $5.5 million to organizations controlled by Patrisse Cullors, a founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, and a criminal justice organizer in Los Angeles.

  Let me know what you think. Thanks! Ruthgrace (talk) 02:56, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

  I think it would be best to remove it, frustrating though it is to remove information from an article. Perhaps add a note to the talk page saying it can be re-added when a better source is found? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 10:57, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

  That is a good regret reduction strategy :)

• Suggest linking to some of the organizations listed as philanthropy targets -- the Center for Popular Democracy and Sherlock Biosciences have articles, for examples. For the ones that don't you might consider redlinks if you think an article is warranted.

   Done Great suggestion!! added links for Target Malaria, GiveDirectly, Population Services International, Against Malaria Foundation, Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, Center for Popular Democracy, The Pew Charitable Trusts, Sherlock Biosciences, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, and Impossible Foods Ruthgrace (talk) 23:42, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

• Optional, but given the hatnote I don't think you need the "See also" link as well.

  N Deleted good point, thanks Ruthgrace (talk) 23:42, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

That's all I can see to complain about. The prose is a little fragmented, and listy, but not to the point where it's a problem for GA. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 21:45, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Awesome!! Thanks so much for taking the time to review -- this is super helpful feedback. I will address your points inline as I get to them. Ruthgrace (talk) 23:22, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

Last fix made; looks good. Passing GA. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:02, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
