Timeline of effective altruism

This is a timeline of the effective altruism movement.

How the timeline was built
The initial version of the timeline was written by Issa Rice (and probably also some editors on Wikipedia, who wrote the parts Issa quoted from other Wikipedia articles; unfortunately the version on Wikipedia was deleted so it's hard to check where the quotes came from).

Several rows are taken from Timeline of wild animal suffering.
