::Oops, didn't see your post Jake. Would this not be better as a template or something on the main page? I'm not sure a page would really work, as the articles should be more AC based rather than advertising space.

COPPA[edit]

Not intentionally being rude but I like how the US are profitting from children using websites :P I've never heard of this before, it's completely different to how the UK treat online users! - MerrytonRyan 19:51, 23 January 2011 (EST)

The $0.30 donation is actually just what ACC requires for verification. An email or fax with a parent's signature is all that's legally required under federal law. --Jake 20:00, 23 January 2011 (EST)
