Sort by dollar amount

It'd be great if someone could sort the table by default by descending amount raised.Terrorist96 (talk) 01:48, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

By date would make more sense to me. It was in roughly that order until just a little while ago. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 03:09, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored it to date order, but put them with most recent on top. Other sort orders are legitimate, and we can discuss what people think is best, but it was out of order until I made the recent changes. I suspect that people would like to see the most recent item near the top and this meets that need. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 05:01, 21 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why would the reader care how recent it is? Alphabetical or amount raised would be more useful to the reader. --Guy Macon (talk) 07:50, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

GoFundMe isn't a reliable source

Seems that the "notable projects" table can no longer be updated with proper links to GoFundMe, since the domain (gofundme.com) is now blacklisted in Wikipedia (in general)?

I get the blacklisting, but I would suggest that this particular page be exempted from it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.199.42.73 (talk) 23:20, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried. It didn't work. Others have tried too.Terrorist96 (talk) 00:01, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's because GoFundMe isn't a reliable source. Just look for citations to reliable secondary sources that establish that the campaign in question is notable. --Guy Macon (talk) 07:47, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Israel Falou case

Hadn’t heard of this website before the $700k Israe Falou donation page was taken offline. Should be included particularly given the media coverage and thus citations to reputable journals available, as well as comparing it to “notable” cases listing including a $50k fundraiser in comparison... Also notable because CEO has been defending this take down, as well as accusations that Go Fund Me are siphoning off funds for their own personal costs, observing that Israel Falou only received $700k vs nearly $1.5m when hosted by another website in quite a shorter period of time... This has been attributed by Go Fund Me to credit card processing and admin costs but there has been reputable discussion of class action against Go Fund Me fees 180.219.160.62 (talk) 16:35, 26 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You need to provide sources establishing notability. --Guy Macon (talk) 07:48, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bias may be here after the recent ruling of gofundme https://medium.com/gofundme-stories/update-gofundme-statement-on-the-freedom-convoy-2022-fundraiser-4ca7e9714e82

"List of projects"

Why does this section exist and what is the criteria for inclusion? Any objections to just deleting this - surely dealt with better in prose? Ivar the Boneful (talk) 08:55, 6 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
