As you are clearly connected with the event, you have from Wikipedia's point of view a WP:Conflict of interest, and should carefully read that page and WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

You should also understand that Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion of any kind, and is extremely resistant to any attempt to use it that way.

The criterion for whether an article subject is acceptable is called Notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people independent of the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See WP:42 for more explanation.

As your event is new, it seems unlikely that you will be able to do that. If you now say, but we want to tell the world about it! no, sorry, that is not what an encyclopedia does, in our terms that is promotion.

Think hard about notability before doing any more, because without it you will be wasting your time. If you want to proceed, make a draft article in your user space - see Help:Userspace draft for how to do that - and submit it at WP:Articles for creation. JohnCD (talk) 21:11, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Re: Miss Sim Globe
Okay, Thank you for explaining this to me. I now understand why it was removed. Maybe in future we would have someone write about it, Once it becomes more established. Thank you again :) Also, Thank you for emailing me the source code :)
