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.

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)

Added and revised some content to reflect recent changes to the website - such as now 100% of all the sponsor funds are going to the non-profits versus the old revenue share with 25% being retained by CharityUSA. Now the entire operating cost for all the CharityUSA websites come solely from a share of the net profits from product sales (all the non-profit partners also get a share of the product sales as well). Also corrected some other minor out of date informatinon.

I'm a Wikki novice so please feel free clean up those edits.

To the original author: I'm going to try and get you some more recent "TRS in the news" links for this entry as well to help make it little less like an advertisment. Seems The Hunger Site article was tagged for being ad like even though it has good info about that website.
