I dont personally know Stacey Nelson but I do know that she is one of the top women athletes in the entire country and I was surprised she didnt have a wikipedia page. As for my username, I couldnt think of a good one so I just created this one so it was a name I could easily remember. I edited the page, I didn't want to be hit by the conflict of interest banner. Thank you for your time. UFGatorsSports (talk) 08:15, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, but your username sounds like you officially represent the University of Florida Athletic Department. Apologies I you took any offense for my slapping a COI tag on the article, as that is what I thought. MuZemike 15:22, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

- Reader Poll
The WikiProject Video games Newsletter released its first issue a year ago. The newsletter is meant to help connect editors, keep them up-to-date with the activities of the VG project, and improve the knowledge of our members. We've compiled a list of questions to help gauge the effectiveness of the newsletter's first year.
Answers will be accepted for a three week period following the deliver of the March 2009 issue on Wednesday, April 1, 2009. Just to clarify, this is not an April Fools' Day gag, and we would really appreciate honest criticism. Information obtained from this poll is intend to alter the newsletter for the better. So don't feel you should hold back or give answers similar to everyone else.
Feel free to voice your opinion on the Poll page.

The Video Game Barnstar
|
| The VG Barnstar is an award given to Wikipedians recognized for efforts and contributions to improve and develop video game related articles.
|
The VG Barnstar is one of many Misplaced Pages Barnstars designed to be given to editors that have helped further the overall quality of Misplaced Pages. It was created in February 2006 by Jacoplane—see past discussion for details—and has been given to numerous editors since. Sometimes editors with multiple Barnstars use an alternative way to display them: ribbons.
Barnstars are designed to be given by anyone, so don't be shy as everyone enjoys appreciation. If you have noticed or have been impressed with the work of an editor, feel free to let them know by placing {{subst:Barnstar VG|"message" ~~~~}} on their talk page. The template uses a parameter to include a message expressing the reasons behind the award.

Roblox on Misplaced Pages .
Hello,
You removed my link to the roblox Sup-page and said that once it is back in the Main space it can be listed again. The problem is we can't get it back in the main space. I thought that the purpose of that section was to further the coverage of video games on Misplaced Pages. If you search roblox up, you will see it is one of the most popular online games on the web, yet there is still no Misplaced Pages coverage.--gordonrox24 (talk) 20:25, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
- That section is for new articles in the mainspace, not for userfied pages. That is regardless the perceived notability of the game. As I noted in that edit summary, it can be added on that list if it makes it back onto the mainspace. MuZemike 20:30, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
Okay thanks!--gordonrox24 (talk) 00:34, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
RPGFan as an unreliable source
I've noticed you listed Final Fantasy V for Good Article Reassessment. However, you've placed unreliable source templates next to statements by RPGFan. I'm sure this has been brought up in the past, but this website is sourced by numerous Good and Featured Articles; see pages that link to it. If you question it in on one articles, shouldn't you question it on all of these articles? If need be, we can begin a discussion with WikiProject Video games. ~ Hibana 00:41, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- Those are reader reviews that I flagged down (i.e. user-generated content like the user reviews found on Gamespot or IGN). The other ones look like they come from people who edit for that site and hence are subject to the normal fact-checking et al that are characteristic of a reliable source. For example, take Gamespot's coverage of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. This review was done by one of their professional editors who work for that site, which has been editorialized and fact-checked for accuracy. Hence, this would be considered reliable. However, this review was user-generated by a user and has not been editorialized or checked for accuracy. This falls under self-published material and hence is not relliable, as stated in the verifiability policy. That's how I see it with RPGfan and as with every other reliable site for video games—not all reviews (particularly user-generated) are considered reliable to use. I hope that adequately explains it. MuZemike 01:09, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- I see. Thank you for clarifying. ~ Hibana 01:14, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
If there truly so many sources out there to prove notability, how come they aren't in the article as well as the info those sources supposedly have? I will check back on the article in a few days. If the sources aren't there, I am putting it up again to be deleted. Postcard Cathy (talk) 01:19, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- It just needs to be shown that sources exist for notability; they need not necessarily to be in the article to establish that. AFD or PROD are not for cleanup; we don't delete unsourced articles that clearly demonstrate notability (though for BLPs that is currently being hotly debated and is on the forefront of the flagged revisions drive, but that's beside the point), and there is no deadline in doing so. As far as notability is concerned (apologies for not showing explicitly on the article's talk page), but Google news search here comes back with plenty of good sources, and I am sure there are more in the regular Google search.
