[edit] 30 Hour or 40 Hour?
It seems 30 Hour Famine is more popular than 40 Hour Famine. There are more countries that hold 30 Hour Famine than 40 Hour Famine. For example, I already know Hong Kong holds 30 Hour Famine every year, and there should be many other countries doing so. How come 30 Hour Famine becomes a subtopic for 40 Hour Famine?

- I don't know, but I agree with you. I've never heard of the 40 Hour Famine, but I hear about the 30 Hour Famine.. everywhere. I really think this should be redirected.. or have a disambig link/page somewhere. Disinclination 05:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
If you could all help me, I re-created the 30 Hour Famine article, but I need help finding reliable sources about it. So if you could help, that would be great. Disinclination 04:18, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- In the UK we have 24 Hour Famine, I think we need one page to discuss all of these rather than having separate pages (ie 24 Hour Famine, 30 Hour Famine, 40 Hour Famine), etc. Any suggestions as to what this page could be called? == Kneale 19:42, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Hm. I'll have to come back to you on that. The only reason I created a new page was cause is seems the two were so vastly different. Plus, the origin of the famine listed for the 30 Hour Famine seems to never have existed. In fact, I found a completely different history on the World Vision Canada website. I suppose its a question of which came first? I'm not sure. Maybe.. World Vision Famine Events? -- Disinclination 07:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Adjustments
I have moved all famine events into this one entry. I hope it's not controversial. I also tried to make several improvements. I have never done this event before, so I hope I don't run into NPOV issues (although I am going to try it out this year). AQu01rius (User • Talk) 02:38, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- Woo hoo! Thank you. :) It looks wonderful. Disinclination 03:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
- A great improvement! -- Kneale 20:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
