en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_altruism

CEA’s own current "CEA's Guiding Principles" page says that putting effective altruism into practice means acting in accordance with five guiding principles: Commitment to Others, Scientific Mindset, Openness, Integrity, and Collaborative Spirit. That directly contradicts the article’s claim that CEA lists four principles, and the four labels given in the article do not match CEA’s official wording.

A second official source, the Effective Altruism website’s introductory article, also presents a different current framework. It says the principles that unite effective altruism are Scope sensitivity, Impartiality, Scout mindset, and Recognition of tradeoffs. So even outside CEA’s own page, the article’s stated four-principle list does not match the current official descriptions.

Because the sentence specifically attributes the list to the Centre for Effective Altruism, and CEA’s official page gives a different list with a different count, this statement is factually incorrect as written.

The pronoun "they" in this sentence refers back to Michael Kremer and Rachel Glennerster. But Evidence Action, which now runs Deworm the World, says something different: in its account of the program’s origins, "In 2008, Kremer and Duflo partnered to co-found the NGO Deworm the World Initiative."

Evidence Action also attributes the underlying Kenya deworming trial to Michael Kremer and Ted Miguel, not to Kremer and Glennerster. So the article’s attribution is doubly off: it misidentifies both the researchers associated with the Kenya deworming trial and the co-founder of Deworm the World.

Because the sentence specifically says the initiative was started by the pair previously named in the article, and the program’s own steward gives different founders, this statement is factually incorrect.

The sentence is written in the present tense, but GiveWell’s current official top-charity page lists only four top charities: Malaria Consortium, Against Malaria Foundation, Helen Keller Intl, and New Incentives.

That means the article’s statement is no longer accurate as written. In particular, the current GiveWell page does not list Schistosomiasis Control Initiative, Deworm the World Initiative, or GiveDirectly among GiveWell’s current top charities/recommendations.

Because the claim describes GiveWell’s leading recommendations without a historical date qualifier, and GiveWell’s own current page names a different set of organizations, the statement is factually incorrect today.
