		+
		+	Following Stux's [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki_talk%3ASubtitles&diff=450330&oldid=450231 question] "Does and/or should this wiki advertise fellowsites anywhere?", a quick [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Search?ns4=1&search=fellowsites&searchx=Search search] showed me that there is indeed no permanent official mention of Fellowsites outside an archive. We should make Fellowsites more widely known. For example by putting it next to the Goleman link at the bottom or somewhere on the donations page.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:51, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
