Talk:Pencils of Promise

Notability
Until last week I had no notion whatsoever of this organization. I was restructuring the page for Scooter Braun, a very badly kept page. While improving on that page, I stumbled on a passing reference about his support of a charity by Adam Braun, his brother, which was this charity Pencils of Promise. My quick research into it just opened an amazing world that impressed me at no end and brightened and lifted my soul. Of utmost effect on me initially was this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo13am3Hra4 Then I referred to the page of the charity here and I found the article so lacking and badly maintained I had to work on the page improving on its content and adding adequate references to avoid the "notability" concerns there for three years now. With the new edits, and references, I have now removed that note. This article has also completely changed my pre-conceptions and judgemental attitude and bias about Justin Bieber to which I publicly admit now. Thanks to this charity, I have now deserved my own "pencil" I wished for after meeting Adam's and Scooter's testimonies and I couldn't be prouder and richer for it. And suddenly it dawned on me how important education was through editing in Wikipedia (for readers yes, but more importantly for the contributing editors involved). Wikipedia is the ultimate pencil for promises we promise ourselves if we know how to use the space and opportunities Wikipedia provides to all of us, if we care enough. werldwayd (talk) 07:32, 1 July 2013 (UTC)
