Concerning Magequest

Dear Patstuart:

I am the creator of the Magequest page and I have no problem with its deletion. Sorry if it was seen as spam (which wasn't intended). The article's intent was to inform the online community that there was a game called Magequest for the calculator. Once again, it wasn't intended to be spam.

It wasn't that it was considered spam, it was that it was "non-notable". Don't worry, I see hundreds of articles a day that fail to satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines; the difference with your addition is that it wasn't vandalism, like most, but an honest lack of knowledge as per Wikipedia guidelines. I'm sorry if the deletion notice sounded a little too harsh. Good luck, and I hope you continue with us on Wikipedia. Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 19:10, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

BTW, if you would like to put this information under your user profile (I see right now that you've put a redirect from your user page), that would probably be OK. -Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 19:10, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

userpage redirect

I apologize for any confusion, I "misspoke" in my edit summary. What I was referring to is "cross namespace" redirects, like going from Userspace to Article space (the main one, where Magequest currently is) or vice versa. I've changed your userpage for right now to redirect to your talk page, which is not uncommon for people who don't want to make a separate userpage. If you'd prefer to put something there, use this link. Welcome to Wikipedia, by the way. -- nae'blis 19:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

P.S. In case you were wondering how that even happened, page moves automatically create redirects from the old title to the new one; if you draft further articles for Wikipedia in your userspace before posting them (and many people do, to avoid quick deletions on works-in-progress), you can request deletion of the automated redirect by inserting {{db-author}} into the redirect page (not the actual article!). -- nae'blis 19:59, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
