You may want to know that each of your last few edits has made a stronger case for this article's deletion—without verifiable sources, it fails notability standards and becomes a more evident advertisement. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 18:59, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Reply Sorry for clearing this. Had major computer problems lately. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I have found some sources and added. Let me know if this helps any.

No problem. As to whether it helps any, well, frankly, not much: the article makes claims about the site's size, scope, effect, membership, and the like, and none of the claims is sourced—and, since those claims are the sole basis for potential notability, the article collapses without them.

Though it's a completely different subject, let me (humbly) point you to Ike Altgens, a Featured article of roughly the same size. Altgens was an entirely unremarkable man until 22 November 1963, when his snapshots became world-famous; I like to think this article is as good as it is not just because it's compellingly written, but because every claim is bolstered by a reliable source. Articles like this also will demonstrate the proper way to do inline citations, which can be daunting at first but gets easy quickly. As always, write me with any questions. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 03:42, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
