Redirection

Wouldn't it make more sense to redirect to ROBLOX, since technically that's it's name. The roblox banner says ROBLOX, not Roblox.

Not from the wikipedia style guidelines. For instance SANYO always capitalise it, the wikipedia article is Sanyo, likewise SONY is Sony etc. --82.7.40.7 (talk) 19:19, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No. Read WP:NAMING.--gordonrox24 (talk) 19:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Primary sources

I've ref'd a couple of points to a primary source (i.e. Roblox itself). Per Wikipedia:RS#Primary, secondary, and tertiary sources these need to have some care taken, but given they are referencing straight facts with no analysis or conclusions drawn the risk of original research is limited. If these areas get expanded/changed that status may of course evolve, but I think they will be fine for now. --82.7.40.7 (talk) 19:38, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. I prefer secondary sources but they will do for now. Thanks.--gordonrox24 (talk) 20:09, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Changed "script" to "program"

Script refers to a script,while program refers to programming. Sounds much better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snateraar (talk • contribs) 19:44, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Scripting is programming. Programming is the correct wording.--gordonrox24 (talk) 20:07, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Turbo Builders Club

Shouldn't someone add a part about that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snateraar (talk • contribs) 19:46, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed your section about that. I can't even find a Primary source talking about it.--gordonrox24 (talk) 20:07, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Test server. And yes,I should make this article when it's on the real website. Snateraar (talk) 14:02, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anything on the test server is not 100% certain that it will be moved to the real site. When it is on the real site then you can start writing about it.--gordonrox24 (talk) 16:49, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The main site lists it, so I've incorporated the details. --82.7.40.7 (talk) 18:46, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't like using the site as a reference but I guess it is an uncontroversial fact...--Gordonrox24 | Talk 19:03, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DO we really need so many links at the end of the article? I think the regular site and the Roblox Developers Blog should just be fine. --Briguy9876 (talk) 22:58, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. One of the links is an old reference, the Wiki is shut down, and the youtube link really isn't needed.--gordonrox24 (talk) 00:52, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, if Blockland gets to put their link on our page, can't we do the same on theirs? --Briguy9876 (talk) 02:33, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Seems fair. I am sure it will be removed but I think putting it there is the correct thing to do.--gordonrox24 (talk) 12:06, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Achive.

Hey, I was just thinking about archiving this talk page. I was thinking everything that was on the userpage should be archived so that the talk page is about this article, not the userpage. Anybody not ok with me doing that?--gordonrox24 (talk) 17:04, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I like that idea.Snateraar (talk) 18:14, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Creators and publishers

We honestly have to have a debate about whether Roblox is developed and managed by Roblox Corporation or by the actual creators (both of which are true). I've seen constant revisions in which the creator's names are changed to Roblox Corporation and back again. --Gert7 (talk) 10:34, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I decided to quit reverting and go with Roblox Corp. The game is run/created/developed by the staff at Roblox Corp so we might as well leave it as general as possible.-- Gordonrox24  18:15, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Catalog

It seriously needs what types of things it sells, excluding places. 68.116.98.210 (talk) 20:18, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They are already all listed in the customization section. Look under avatars.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 20:35, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
