Talk:The Rainforest Site

message: This page was marked for speedy deletion, but I am not sure why. A similar page exists for The Hunger Site. This page is about a charitable website, which I am not an owner or a founder of. I am not using this wikipedia page to promote myself, but rather to raise awareness. I know the page is not very detailed, yet, but this is the first page I have made and I am just learning how to format these articles. I plan to continually update this page with more info about the rainforest site. To check that this site is legitmate simply go to www.therainforestsite.com, thanks.

replies: text: Well, when I tagged the article, as well at the moment, the article does not reference any reliable, non-trivial, independent sources with which to confirm the website's notability; I never thought for a moment that you were an owner/affiliate of the site, I just called it like I saw it at the time. I have searched Google News, and have found nothing yet, but I will untag it for now, as you might have other, offline sources that I am not aware of, and are using to create the article. You might also wish to review the notability guideline for web content as well. Either way, I hope the best solution is reached regarding this article. If you have any questions you are free to ask me. Happy editing! Kyra~(talk) 05:42, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

text: The page isn't so promotional that it needs a fundamental rewrite (though I ain't sure it's perfect), but if it were brought up for a deletion discussion in it's current state, it would definitely be deleted.  Pages are only kept if it can be demonstrated the subject is notable, which is a  jargon-y term for it being the subject of publications by reliable publishers independent of the subject matter (i.e., in this case, sources not affiliated with The Rainforest Site).  You might consider reading Wikipedia:Your First Article. WilyD 10:23, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Middle of article includes "CharityUSA operates a number of charity-themed advertising and shopping sites, including The Alzheimer's Site, The Autism Site, The Breast Cancer Site, The Child Health Site, The Diabetes Site, The Hunger Site, The Literacy Site, The Veterans Site, The Animal Rescue Site, and The Ecology Fund." 
(EDIT: mentioning GreaterGood below because https://therainforestsite.com/ now forwards to https://therainforestsite.greatergood.com/clicktogive/trs/home . GreaterGood sites say "Owned and operated by CharityUSA.com".)
The click-to-donate sites i can see at GreaterGood's site these days (while clicking2donate) are (a to z): the Alzheimer's Site, the Animal Rescue Site, the Autism Site, the Breast Cancer Site, the Diabetes Site, FreeKibble.com (cute!), GreaterGood (a click2donate apparently donating to various causes), the Hunger Site, the Literacy Site, the Rainforest Site, and the Veterans Site.
Google search for "The Child Health Site" (at GreaterGood.com) results in just a few petitions (so seems TCHS may be defunct). 
<BR>Google search for "The Ecology Fund" results include https://greatergood.com/clicktogive/ggc/terms-of-service which has "Ecology Fund" link to http://ecologyfund.com/ . The ecologyfund.com "Total Land Saved" counters do still seem to be increasing (current homepage says "75,600.4 acres" saved, while January8 wayback says "75,528.2 acres" saved), so presumably clicks at ecologyfund site still make a difference. (although not sure why Ecology Fund isn't shown after you click on the other GreaterGood click2donate buttons) (EDIT: site note: EcologyFund.com pages say "© EcologyFund.com/CharityUSA.com, LLC", so apparently still a project of CharityUSA)
About the sites list currently in article: the "The Child Health Site" doesn't seem to be at website now. Maybe move it (TCHS) to elsewhere in article as a now-defunct site? --EarthFurst (talk) 02:27, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
