Wow. Lots of programming to read! Oy! I can understand the "Notability" thing. That alone makes my article more appropriate as an amendment to the Simulations Publications, Inc. article.

Often, that's how it works out. And hey, I much prefer to see information go into an article 'correctly' the FIRST time, rather than a new user be scolded for not knowing our 100,000,000 rules. But you took a step most new users wanting to add content don't: you asked a question! (You have no idea how many people start articles about themselves, as normal, non-famous citizens, as though this were some extension of Facebook. Some of them get mean, too- I see a lot of people wax poetic (and litigious) about the First Amendment to the United States constitution.)

Again, good luck with your addition! There are more policies where that came from- you may want to bookmark The Manual of Style to reference, for all your formatting needs. --King Öomie 19:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
