[edit] SolarAid

Hi Brad - thanks for the welcome. It worked.

Re: new SolarAid article "written like an ad" and "references and sources"

I'm really new at this so I have a lot of questions: Are the notices 'normal' for new articles? Should I work to improve the article myself? Will it disappear if I don't. Or should I let go and let the midnight elves take it to the next stage?

[edit] Don't be so quick to tag

Erm, you tagged an article within 60 seconds of my first save. You also tagged an article with a notability tag, even though it's clearly listed as winning an award. I appreciate that you're being vigilant here, but be aware that sometimes articles are created in multiple edits. I recommend that you work on patrolling articles that are at least 24 hours old, and assume good faith on stubs that are in the process of being created by established editors. --Elonka 00:43, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
