Hi, I noticed that you put back the OneUp Studios article. That article was previously deleted because it was comprised of copyrighted content published at [[1], it will be deleted again unless you can rewrite or relicense the copied content under the GFDL. Note also that Wikipedia is not a proper place to publicize a business as articles have to meet certain notability guidelines. ˉˉanetode╞┬╡ 23:23, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
Simply put, if you quote a significant chunk of text that was written by somone other than yourself and used in a commercial venture, you're violating copyright. Wikipedia is not a forum but a publication, one that requires that all the text contained within be original. Now you can link to the FAQ, even summarize what questions are addressed in the FAQ, but you can't just reprint it verbatim.
As for the "publicize" comment, there are some standards of notability (fame or infamy) that the potential subject of an article must possess. Your article might still be deleted, or nominated for deletion, unless you can provide evidence that the OneUps satisfy one of several specific eligibility requirements. Otherwise, as you might imagine, every garage band and kid with a turntable might put up an article about their band, and Wikipedia is not MySpace.
I understand that you're new here, and I'm sorry if these laws and requirements seem daunting or obtuse, but people on Wikipedia tend to be pretty vigilant about following them and new articles are often challenged or simply deleted. If you need any help or are confused about these guidelines, feel free to post a note on my talk page or at Wikipedia:Newcomers_help_page. Also, here are a few helpful links:

I appreciate that you took the time to look over the notability reqs and are compiling an original article from notes. When writing your article, please reference (directly if possible) the popular media coverage the OneUps have received, and the influence of OneUp studios as it pertains to the video game music scene or other specific bands. Other than that, you're set! ˉˉanetode╞┬╡ 03:00, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
