 * This sounds a reasonable topic. Are there any writings about the foundation by other people? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:21, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

The foundation is composed of over 400 employees from all around the world. Their work has been sited numerous times by different, prestigious journals. There are also published books about the founder and the foundation itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hgmuirhead (talk • contribs) 14:59, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Since there are books written about the foundation then WP:notability is established and a page here should pass that test. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:51, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi guys,

Is there any reason why this article (link in the title) cannot be published? If not, then how can I see it published live as the 'London Youth Games'?

The Spartanex (S.P.X.A.)
The Spartanex was created by Jude A. Furr in May 2005. The club went through many names and is a secret club that takes over other minor clubs in order to over through their people and gain population and power in order to do the same over and over again. This club creates video games and has a blog for teens to get more and more members. The Spartanex is a Dictator Club and has some democracy based assets. For example the club's properties and rules are voted on by all members except suspected double-agents or banned agents. The Spartanex has 3 main corporations that all are used as limbs on a human body. The different parts of The Spartanex are all connected and have different rules and levels of rank and are all controlled by the main Spartanex Hub (S.P.X.A) which stands for Spartanex Agency, S.P.X. stands for Spartanex and the A stands for Agency. The S.P.X.A. controls the other three which are S.P.X.G. (Spartanex Games, the Spartanex gaming corp.) and S.P.X.C. (Spartanex Chat, the Spartanex government and inner core of Spartanex). The Spartanex is a Top Secret Agency that has varied in names in the last 6 years.

The names of The Spartanex have changed many times and started with the name "The Mojo" in 2005, which translated in the Spartanex Code as "Main Dictator Group" and was nicknamed the M.D.G. in one of the later seasons of The Spartanex which was named "The Coffee Club" in 2007, which translated in the Spartanex Code as "Coffee Club", not much different in English. The next season of the club was "Club Speedy" in 2008, which translated in the Spartanex Code as "Club of Demonation". Then in 2010 "The Spartanex" was decided the name by the V.P. of Spartanex, Andre Maceira. The name succeeded and was made official on March 7th, 2011.

The name "Pokemon Club" was suggested instead of The Coffee Club but was turned down by the leader. The name "The Spartanex" does not translate clearly as anything in English but the name Spartan is a name for a person from Sparta, in which the people are raised to be warrior from the time they are babies.

The Spartanex has made 4 websites in honor of their club. 2 were created for the game corporation of The Spartanex (spxg.weebly.com), 1 for the Spartanex Chat Hub(spxc.weebly.com) and 1 for the Spartanex main agency (spxa.weebly.com). The Spartanex currently has 546 members but is growing constantly. The Spartanex members are hidden to everyone in the club and the general public. The owner and VP are the only people allowed to view the members in the club but the Spartanex V.I.P.s are shown to all members in The Spartanex.

 * Since the club is secret has any one written about it? We can have an article here is several independent people have written about the club. An encyclopedia publishes information that others have written about. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

8x3x11 (Alternate Reality Game)
The majority of the information that we know is subjective, as this is a new Alternate Reality Game and the Puppet Master and his team are quite cryptic about their message. I wish to gather all said information in one place, so that those who begin the game can easily obtain what is necessary to understand what is going on at the current point in time.

http://8-3-11.info/ This is the main site, and the site that was discovered. By whom is uncertain, as it was posted both on an anonymous board and unfiction.

http://www.formspring.me/8X3X11 They answer certain questions here.

If this is not acceptable to be place on wikipedia that is fine. I will simply organize the information elsewhere. Thank you for your time. Fourtulpas (talk) 16:10, 29 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is supposed to be based on reliable sources and not a place for Original research. So until others have written about this game, you should not be the first to write about it here. I am sure there are other wikis or boards around to report your discoveries though. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:01, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Changsha University
Hello! I have started work in my sandbox on an article about Changsha University, which is a municipal university in the city of Changsha, Hunan, PRC. It is the school at which I'm currently employed. I've never created a Wikipedia article before, and I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, so I would appreciate any feedback. [] Thanks.

 * This looks to be a suitable topic. However is the Chinese name 长沙学院 or 长沙大学? (see Changsha, there are many universities in this city so we need to make sure there is no duplicate under a different name).  The only reference is the university web site.  But there should be at least two other references to show notability beyond any doubt. Your draft should be good enough to move to article space. Since you work there, there are potential issues with COI, and you may get into trouble with your employer.  However the article looks to be neutral and on safe ground.
