Fragapalooza 2016 (20 year anniversarry)

[Melbosa]

Wikipedia used to have a Fragapalooza article but it is now gone.  I am not sure why.  But wish it was there as it was what I was editing for our attendance numbers.  Anyone know how I can find it or get it back?

It was flagged with "issues" for some time because some asshat decided it was an "advertising" article and nobody cleaned it up so my guess is either a bot deleted it or some admin with nothing better to do

They have a guide for this but -good luck- Wikipedia is full of Tin Hitlers all protecting their "turf" and aren't actually interested in information collection

How did you fine out the Flagged part?  Might need that to reference to restore.

Articles with issues have a block at the top that indicate problems, then you go to the talk page and find details

Whoever re-creates the page needs to ensure they link to news articles, videos, etc

THIS REMINDS ME

Are webcams allowed? Are we allowed to stream live events? Are we allowed to publish those videos to the YouTube?

Yes.

Yes.

Depends on whether in include others in your video without their permission.

Got it restored!

[Mr. Analog]

Great! Now get someone to take that advertisement note out for review and/or update the article so that it matches something like PAX

Got some Hotel Discounts posted today: https://www.fragapalooza.com/joomla/index.php/news/2016-event-news/117-accommodations

[Mr. Analog]

Dang! I booked my room already, I wonder if they can retroactively apply the rate

I got a suite again MR. ANALOG BIG SHOT MD

[Melbosa]

If you can't I'm sure you can cancel and just get a new room.

[Thorin]

$110 a night is a good deal.  Over the winter we usually get a "team discounted rate" of $150 - $160 per room, when we go places for sports.

Also, I fixed the spelling of "anniversary" in the title...

[Tom]

My rate was better than that actually.

I got the "over two nights" and "Thursday" discounts, was a total of $305.17 including fees and taxes. Or $279.97 before fees/taxes.

[Tom]

Currently frag shopping!

[Thorin]

What are you shopping for?

[Tom]

What are you shopping for?

snacks and drinks and stuff.

[Mr. Analog]

The restaurant that's on the 2nd floor renovated last year, I wonder what it's like now

Getting excited!
