NOTE TO NEW PAGES PATROL -- THIS IS AN ARTICLE IN DEVELOPMENT!!

Per your own information on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Your_first_article, "Consider creating the article first in your user space As a registered user, you have your own user space. You can start your new article there, on a subpage; you can get it in shape, take your time, ask other editors to help work on it, and only move it into the "live" Wikipedia once it is ready to go. To create your own subpage, see here. When your new article is ready for "prime time", you can move it into the main area."

http://secondlife.com/showcase/arts/ -- The Learning Experience included in the Second Life Showcase What is Showcase? The Showcase section of SecondLife.com and the Second Life viewer highlights some of the best inworld locations and Resident creations. For new and existing Residents alike, this is the place to go to explore and discover what's most exciting in the Second Life world. Showcase features Arts & Culture, Education & Nonprofit, Fashion, Hot Spots, Music, Photos & Machinima, and Tutorials.

Venues and content featured in Showcase are not paid placements. Currently, the best way to promote your venue, event or business is through inworld Search or the Classifieds.

How do you determine which venues and content to feature in Showcase? Showcase is a place to show off some of the most interesting, entertaining, and novel Resident-created content. Showcase is for existing Residents as well as potential Residents exploring the SecondLife.com Web site for the first time. At any given time, the featured content will be limited. We will be looking for content that we believe "showcases" the best of Second Life.

Criteria favoring selection include:

Is the venue a high-quality implementation of the Second Life experience? Does the venue appeal broadly to the Second Life community? Is the venue exceptional or unique? Is the venue being promoted outside Second Life and participating in the inSL logo program? Does the image accompanying the submission meet the guidelines outlined below in question 6? Criteria weighing against selection include:

Has the venue or one like it been included before? Has the venue ever been warned for failure to comply with any aspect of the Terms of Service?
