Ice Bucket Challenge

Doing the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

  • Comment: The hook is rather wordy, I'm open to suggestions for how to improve it.

Created by Jinkinson (talk). Nominated by 3family6 (talk) at 14:15, 19 August 2014 (UTC).

  • ALT 1 ... that the Ice Bucket Challenge (pictured) raised over 15.6 million dollars for the ALS Association within a 21-day period, 800% more than was raised in within the same time frame of the previous year?
  • Symbol question.svg At its current state, there are still quite a few uncited statements in this article, and the concerns surrounding the relevance of having the list of nominees in the article. I would pass it if these were addressed. ViperSnake151  Talk  19:54, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
  • The list of participants was moved to a stand-alone article, so that issue should be taken care of. I'll get on the lack of referencing.--¿3family6 contribs 21:07, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
    • Symbol question.svg 9 x 1.8 = 16.2 > 15.6. Find another hook. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:10, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
  • The article apparently has undergone a lot of revisions since I nominated it. I'm updating the hook to per the revised article. The sourcing of the article seems better now, though it needs some expansion in some areas, which I will address if no-one else does in the meantime.--¿3family6 contribs 15:55, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Symbol confirmed.svg Article new enough (created 13 August), long enough (8,699 characters), mostly referenced (getting there). Hook verified. Image fine, appropriately licensed by Commons. Good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:22, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
