Wikipedia is not a strategy guide or instruction manual. Wikipedia articles should focus on the games themselves, not on how to play them; they should not contain tips, tricks, or cheat codes. That information is available elsewhere (such as on our sister project, Wikibooks), in printed guides and online, and does not belong in an encyclopedia entry.

Problems?
First Problem.
1. The Roblox HQ is located in Redwood City, not Portola Valley. I think that needs to be changed, right here, first line.
Second Problem
3. Right here it says "Dependent on what the model contains, the model's icon differs." icon should be replaced with thumbnail.

- Done all. Thanks! --Gordonrox24 | Talk 22:13, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
New Problem
Right here, it says "and is based in Redwood City, California, California" So, it repeats. -Endofskull (talk) 22:21, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
- Woops, that was my fault. Thanks! --Gordonrox24 | Talk 18:48, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
Places
I think that "Most places consist of free models (sometimes referred to as Public Domain). These places are most commonly obstacle games, otherwise known as "obbys" and often share similar courses and gimmicks." is making Roblox sound bad. Do you think it'd be alright if I deleted that part, and made it sound a lot better? -Endofskull (talk) 03:36, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
Article Rererererererererererere-write project?
This rewrite is very messy. We should rewrite it. Jeremjay24 22:03, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
- I could help, or maybe even lead it! I approve of this! -Endofskull (talk) 23:41, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
Neutralty disputed
The 'Upgrades' section seems like an adverstisement for Builder's Club. I'd rewrite it, but I can't think of any phrases to replace it with. c|haosys|t 19:13, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
- What part? I actually wrote part of that. I'll be happy to fix it! -Endofskull (talk) 18:10, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
Again New Problem
Roblox have an Graphics Engine it's called OGRE3D they will upgrade to OGRE 1.7.1 please fix that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.66.132.9 (talk) 10:04, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
- Can you please tell me where you see this issue? We would also need references proving this change true.--Gordonrox24 | Talk 13:19, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
it is true first here look at this Thread
Telamon the owner written in the year 2006 a thread about switching to OGRE he did and I send an Message to builderman and he said me he wants to upgrade it. here is the Thread: http://www.ogre3d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=305235 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.66.132.9 (talk) 07:36, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yes I know roblox uses ORGE, but where in this article are you seeing an issue?--Gordonrox24 | Talk 23:48, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
no i mean people need to know that roblox uses the Graphics Engine OGRE thats the problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.66.132.9 (talk) 07:00, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
- How do we know that it's actually John Shedletsky? That account could be fake. -Endofskull (talk) 15:00, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
could be not you can ask him it's him and roblox was in 2006 very popular so i think its not an fake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.66.129.13 (talk) 10:09, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'm very honestly confused. Where in the article do you see a problem, and what do you think that it should be changed to?--Gordonrox24 | Talk 14:59, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I agree with Gordon. Are you saying that we should put something about Ogre? Endofskull (talk) 15:15, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
- If I correctly understood what the user was trying to say, is that in the Infobox, the Engine name is "ImPlicitNgine", when, the engine ROBLOX uses is and outdated version of Ogre. Monkey Fox Contributes! . 20:09, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
"GUIs"
This entire section, I believe, it useless. It's one thing to include information that the game is a lua sandbox, but most people don't even have an idea of what GUIs are. The fact that ROBLOX has them is pretty much irrelevant. --ANormalUsername 17:02, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
