Simulation in entertainment
Hi, Jen, welcome to Wikipedia! I looked at the new article you created, and I'm a bit confused by it. First, it doesn't seem to have a single, clearly-defined topic: for example, use of the word "simulation" in the sense of a game like The Sims has a very different connotation from its use in a movie context. They're both trying to recreate something, sure, but a movie is only trying to make a realistic appearance, while a video game is trying to reproduce a realistic behavior, and I'm not sure there's enough of a link there to make a fully-coherent article.

Secondly, I'm a bit concerned with original research. I haven't had a chance to comb through the entire article, but ti looks like there might be a lot of what we call synthesis in there, where the article combines facts from different reliable sources and creates new facts that aren't explicitly supported by either source. Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, our job is merely to report what reliable sources say about a topic, not to combine and analyze them.

Anyway, due to these concerns, I'm thinking of nominating the article for deletion, but before I do, I wanted to check in with you first. If and when I do, you should know that it's not a big deal; you won't get in trouble or anything if your article ends up deleted. It happens to a lot of people! Wikipedia can be a tricky thing sometimes, and it takes a long while to get used to it (I'm still not there yet). Anyhoo, my plan is to take a closer look at the article and hear back from you, and then I'll go from there. If the article does get nominated, you'll be able to take part in the deletion discussion (I'll provide you with a link if and when the time comes), and it'll run for seven days,, which should be plenty of time for you to improve the article or discuss what's wrong with it. If you have any more questions, you can feel free to ask me on my talk page, or you can try the Teahouse, which is a nice place for people to get their questions about Wikipedia answered in a nice, relaxing atmosphere.

 * Update: As WikiDan says below, he's gone ahead and nominated the page for deletion. He givers a link to the discussion below, but just in case, you can find it here.  Again, you're welcome to continue working on the article or to join in the discussion.  Thanks! Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 17:23, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
