Just a note: this article is from Cloud Conrad. Mollyh 20:28, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it's not. The article is from Maid Brigade. Maid Brigade, Inc. is a franchised housecleaning service with over 400 service areas throughout the US, Canada and Ireland. Maid Brigade sponsors Green TV, an online video series featuring author and authority on Green Living, Annie Bond. Green Clean TV is designed to help educate the public about the hidden dangers in common household products, and to promote green living practices. Maid Brigade also launched the Web site, Green Clean Certified, as an educational resource for consumers.
Seems to me that unless Cloud Conrad works for Maid Brigade, what we have here is another copyright theft by Wikia, Inc.
Or, is this some new form of recycling? "Original thought conservation", perhaps? -- Thekohser 20:40, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for sharing your concerns. Cloud Conrad did cite where this came from and I helped him get the article posted. I just added a Citation heading on the main article to try to call it out. A number of contributors do add their own materials and cite where it originally appeared. Others give permission to do so with a link back to the original article.
