Your RfAr

I see you filed a Request for Arbitration. Your request is a bit misplaced; if there's any forum at all for this is Deletion Review, but even then, it was a year-old uncontroversial deletion of what appeared to be an advertisement, so that's likely to be closed quickly. If the game truly does meet Wikipedia's standards for inclusion now, you may simply recreate the article. However, please read the guidelines at Wikipedia:Your first article first, especially as this is your own product you are writing about, as we tend to discourage articles that appear to be self-promotion. I cannot say whether or not it would be kept now, as I don't know anything about the game, but if there is any way it should be included this is the way to do it.

Aminto, I started the article. The Da Vinci Game. If the article is too light on material I will merge it somewhere. FloNight ^talk 17:21, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mindspillage, thanks for clarifying the situation for me. FloNight, many thanks for creating the new page. I see that the RfAr has now been removed, which makes sense and hope everyone's happy with things as they stand at the moment. Aminto.

Hello Aminto : ) The arbitration case was removed because it was obvious you meant to request a review of the Afd instead of RFAr. It caused a chuckle among a lot of Wikipedians (some probably even wondering if it was a April Fools Day joke hatched early). Arbitration is the last step in the dispute process, usually brought because one or more editors are being disruptive to the point of interfering with writing the encyclopedia. If you didn't know, Mindspillage is an arbitrator. She also has a reputation for being calm and level headed, not someone likely to be involved in a disruptive dispute. So seeing her involvement with a arb case was surprising. : )

After I saw your request, I went ahead and started the article. As Mindspillage says, articles can be started if there is a valid reason for doing it. To justify the article, I presented the game as part of a fad. I began linking the codes and symbolism in the game to the novel and the fad. I think, this is the best way for it to be considered notable. If it is seen as an promotion for the product it will be quickly brought up on Afd. We'll see how it goes. I'm going to include some more information on the fad aspect and the code. cheers, --FloNight ^talk 17:30, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. I have to admit I chuckled at the chance to respond to a request for arbitration brought against me! Looks like FloNight has got you well started; cheers and happy editing. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 08:48, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Hiya, I had originally planned on simply asking what I should do on your talk section Mindspillage, but when I visited there it seemed to indicate I should go to an arbitration page and I must admit I then got completely baffled by all the different options. Thanks again to you both for sorting everything out. Aminto.
