Factual Incorrectness[edit]

the site states that they received over 1000 followers on twitter, however not all are real users, they show no history etc. Also information has reached me (I attend the same school) that the followers are in fact bots or fake accounts. also they say they are a non-profit or charity organisation when they are not actually registered as such. they have not received a grant yet either.

In response to the three points that you make: 1000 followers where reached in one week and now there are over 2300, you can check for yourself: http://twitter.com/#!/GRINCampaign These followers do all seem to be real people, it is inevitable that one or two may be bots but @GRINCampaign twitter is not in charge of who followers them and cannot thus be held responsible for some users having no history. I would like to question the validity of rumor here and ask wether it appears in the Wikipedia guidelines as a notable source of information?

Your second point, I refer you to the Charity Commissions guidelines on small charities, which GRIN Campaign is compliant with thus making it a non-profit charity. Also, GRIN has in-fact applied for charitable status from HM Revenue & Customs. http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Start_up_a_charity/Do_I_need_to_register/Resources_for_very_small_charities.aspx from which I quote "Charities with less than £5,000 a year do not need to register with the Charity Commission".

With regards to the grant the article has been updated to say, "hopes", as indeed the status of the grant is pending. RockClaudiaGB (talk) 15:35, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your Reply that "@GRINCampaign twitter is not in charge of who followers them and cannot thus be held responsible for some users having no history" is simply not true, looking though a list of people that GRIN follow's shows that many partispate in follow back, meaning that Grin followed them to recive more followers.

There are two ways to prove this: Grin follows more people than follow it and the fact that follow back is not avitised on their twitter spream meany they first followed the 'follow backs' and no the other way round 797 —Preceding undated comment added 19:51, 4 April 2011 (UTC).[reply]
