Mentor for JMU Class

Hello, I saw that you recently signed up to work on National Appliance Energy Conservation Act. I am going to be your mentor, and can give you feedback on your article and answer any questions you might have about Wikipedia. I am monitoring you and your partner's user pages and the talk page for your draft and the article, so I can find out if you ever have questions, Sadads (talk) 21:19, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Great job on expanding the article, your discussion looks really good. I made a few changes to the WP:Lead of the article, most articles need to start with a sentence like "<Subject of article> is an <descriptive term> which <explanation of notability>". I hope I was correct in my statement. Additionally, I left a comment at Talk:National_Appliance_Energy_Conservation_Act#Possible_Original_research about how you could improve you effects section. I would also suggest trying to see if you can find more history about the legislation itself while it was being debated/discussed. Not only is the article about the legislation but all of the ideas and concepts related to it, Sadads (talk) 12:56, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
