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)

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)

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)
 * 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)

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

 * I don't like using the site as a reference but I guess it is an uncontroversial fact...-- Gordonrox24  &#124; Talk 19:03, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Links
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)
 * 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)
 * 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)
 * 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)


 * I am putting the link to the wiki back as it is up and running again.-- Gordonrox24  &#124; Talk 00:51, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The wiki isn't shut down, it's just locked.

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)

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

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)
 * 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)

No. It always has to be specific Jeremjay24 (talk) 16:10, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

 * This is a Encyclopedia, yes. It's supposed to contain lots of detail. 68.116.98.210 (talk) 19:02, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Detail about features of the game, not random non-notable players.-- Gordonrox24  &#124; Talk 19:46, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The game itself has questionable notability. Unless players are being written about in third party publications, they have no business being in the article. Otherwise, you'd get a lot of kids sticking themselves in the article.  Enigma  msg 03:42, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Terrible, terrible idea. Listen to Gordon, he actually knows what he's talking about. 1. Fame is unquantifiable. 2. It's not notable. 3. It's very subjective. 4. It doesn't belong on Wikipedia - do you see famous WoW players or Eve Online players on their pages? Not unless they become notable in the real world aka Leeroy Jenkins. - clockwork Awsum11 (talk) 00:18, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Please Read!
First, I'm Paulwe, you may have heard of me, I have yet to get a Wikipedia account, but I'm on ROBLOX. Telamon WON'T like this. At all. Nada. Zip. Zero. Why? It doesn't say ANYTHING about mods. Oh and the H & D section is very skimpy. Really like the article though. (Builderman must be having a house party =) ) 24.207.71.168 (talk) 03:15, 1 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It doesnt matter if Telamon completly despises it or not. There are a lot of rules on Wikipedia to abide by, so we do. Mods = Not relevent, not enough 3rd party sources on H&D, and..what? --Briguy9876 (talk) 04:44, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I don't know what you are getting at, Telamon is very happy with himself and his article.(My point being that roblox admins have no remit on Wikipedia). The mod issue is going to get the same response as the Famous people issue. We are not going to be adding a section to the article to describe non-notable 15 year olds(Sorry brig ;P).-- Gordonrox24  &#124; Talk 14:20, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

i made it. im writing more Jeremjay24 (talk) 16:04, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Jeremjay24, you obviously don't know that this is Wikipedia, an external site. Your edits are giving gordon more work to do and even though you think they're right, they're wrong. Gordon has been here for much longer than you and he's already told you no. So why do you insist on doing it? Furthermore, Paulwe, stop speaking for Telamon. Stop pretending to be the administrators' representative. I know he doesn't care about not being in the article because, guess what, it's not notable. Furthermore, I don't care. And if you think this isn't clockwork come message me on RHQ and see if I reply. -clockwork Awsum11 (talk) 20:54, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Yea right. You're the ignorant Wikipedian. And I can tell you're the impersonator. If you were Clockwork, you would know Roblox was created in 2005. And I'm not stupid. I read a lot of "Wikipedia for DUMMIES".  Jeremjay24 (talk) 00:04, 8 July 2009 (UTC) 
 * No seriously, it's him.-- Gordonrox24  &#124; Talk 03:38, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

It's 2004, there are users from 2004. 68.116.98.210 (talk) 23:27, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

Now I'm starting to get very mad. Roblox was made in 2005! Why does Alexa say it was made in 2004? You don't know, but I really do. It said "Online Since", not "Game Started". No, it's completely different. Go to http://web.archive.org/, and it says the earliest backup is from Aug 25. It shows a blank page, which means it wasn't out even since "29-Jan-2004". And yeah, there is ONLY 1 USER made in 2004, which was "ROBLOX" and he is the whole staff who manually (not in the "register" section, but made it through either PHP or C#, I forget) programming.) made the account. If you enter http://www.roblox.com/User.aspx?ID=1, it will show Roblox's page. If you type http://www.roblox.com/User.aspx?ID=2, it will be "John Doe". Theory says he was made in February 11, 2005, and remember, he's the second user and he only has the veteran badge, not the admin or mod badge. So, Alexa gets information on every single site and when it was created and the stats of it. Does anyone else understand? Do I have to explain more? Omg.  Jeremjay24 (talk) 15:30, 7 July 2009 (UTC) 

Oh yeah, Builderman's message. I swear to God I didn't edit this.

Dear Jeremjay24,

Roblox is a startup company based in Silicon Valley, California, established in 2005. It was started by David Baszucki. We are a team of hardcore engineers with a passion for quality in everything that we do. Our project straddles several rapidly-developing aspects of internet entertainment: virtual worlds, casual gaming, and user-constructed content.

Roblox is free to play and safe for kids aged 4-14. Our product remains under heavy development and is currently in public alpha testing. We deeply value community feedback as we continue to make Roblox into a game that will excite the imagination of the young and the young at heart.

Thanks!

 * I believe this Roblox fan page is the official fan page of Roblox.  Jeremjay24 (talk) 16:42, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Woah woah wait there... Facebook is a site similar to MySpace where you can add friends, upload photos, etc. It is made by Mark Zuckerberg. And either David or John created the group. I'm thinking John. And it's official. But if it doesn't qualify, I could find another source.  Jeremjay24 (talk) 16:57, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Alexa Could Be Helpful
The date is when the site was started, not when roblox was established. But because they have graphs and stuff, I think we should prove as a source in H & D that roblox is a site visited thousands of times each day.  98.109.136.124 (talk) 14:51, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Chat Modes
We gotta explain of chat modes, because they are a very big aspect of the game and I believe should be mentioned. We should also add guests and the dislike of them by many characters. Jeremjay24 (talk) 12:04, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

ROBLOX HQ
We mentioned about the game, but not the building located in Silicon Valley. We should add at least a little information. Jeremjay24 (talk) 12:07, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Roblox using Wikipedia
I have looked at many of the hat and gear descriptions and many use Wikipedia articles without giving credit to Wikipedia. This is mostly with newer gears and hats. 8devon8 (talk) 18:40, 9 August 2009 (UTC-7)

Fan Site, Copy Editing, and Cleanup Discussion
Ehh, I noticed the tag. So I made the section... I really cannot tell how an encyclopedia article looks like in a fansite form. This is the second time I saw the copyediting thing, so does it mean bad grammar? And how does this article need to be cleaned up? I'm really confused. Jeremjay24  msg 13:51, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I have a few issues. Take a look at this Diff. Here I changed the wording of a few sentences. As you take a read through the article there are multiple times where the word choice and grammar is not the best. I say fansite as there are some sections that have a few peacock terms that make it read like an ad and almost like a blog. There is always room for improvement. Don't be afraid of these tags, just continue to work on the article to make it all the better. Drop me a line if you have further questions on my taggings.-- Gordonrox24  &#124; Talk 00:30, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * More super-descriptive third-party sources will fix almost all of the problems. It will expand the sections to make it look more article-like. I also think that a lot of the sections need to be merged to make it less strained out. --Briguy9876 (talk) 03:44, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

History and Development without Development!
Should we add that John Shedletsky created the Roblox wiki? (Proof: This Wiki was created by Telamon, and is currently maintained by the ROBLOX community. [Telamon is John]) How about the blog, created on December 8th 2006? We need these stuff in the development section. Jeremjay24  msg 18:24, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Merging "Customization" and "Economy" into "Gameplay"
I'm a member of the WikiProject Video Games, and I work at a several other articles. I rarely edit at the RuneScape article, and they have "Economy" in the Gameplay. It seems like that we should merge a few things, as Gordonrox24 said this article is very messy and needs lots of cleanup, copy editing, and reliable sources. It would make a big difference, as we could use the 4 equal signs (====Title====) to easily merge them together. Jeremjay24  msg 14:27, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep. The virtual money is part of the gameplay. I will do that right now. Any objections let me know and I can undo it.-- Gordonrox24 &#124; Talk 19:14, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Added Caption for the Logo
I added a caption for the Roblox logo. It was since April 25, if you go on web archive, April 25th was the first day it showed the logo. The old one was the one on Are92's "Figure3". Jeremjay24  msg 14:39, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Roblox HQ Picture on Roblox
We should have a picture of Roblox HQ on Roblox. I saw Telamon made a picture of one. He made another one long time ago at Crossroads.

Administrators
As many games do, ROBLOX has certain players who work for the company and can upload further things than the regular ROBLOX user can. They can upload Hats and Gear, as normal players can upload only Shirts and Pants. These players are known as "Administrators," or more commonly, "Admins." These players are adored by the ROBLOX community. Some of the most famous ones are Builderman, Telamon, and ReesemcBlox. They all have around 30 games created by them, as the most a regular user can possibly get is 25. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deady118 (talk • contribs) 22:41, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Roblox's "clever" filter and chat system
I know for a fact that Roblox censors it chat based on a premade list saved to a user's computer when installing, and that the "Super-Safe Chat" choices are the same.

Another edit request
The history and development section says: "Roblox has reached an income of approximately $2.3 million to help kids build games."

The reference doesn't support this claim. Roblox received $2.18 million in funding via an equity issue, that is not income. And the last part "to help kids build games" is marketing hype. --82.7.40.7 (talk) 22:41, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you have a reference? Jeremjay  24  13:32, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
 * You want a reference that the current reference doesn't support the claim? It should be pretty apparent but looking at the current reference it doesn't state anything about income, it says "... has raised about $2.3 million in a first round of funding, according to a regulatory filing.". If you look at the regulatory filing it has tried to issue $2.3million of equity and most of that has been subscribed with a small amount unsubscribed. Even if you want to ignore looking at the filing itself (as a primary source, though that doesn't matter here), the referenced material still doesn't talk about income. As to the "help kids build games" as marketing hype, I think that's pretty self evident. --82.7.40.7 (talk) 15:51, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Look, you need a reference and I'll replace the reference. And with the "help kids build games", what else should there be? Jeremjay  24  20:46, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how much more simple I can make this - I do not want to replace the reference - the fault is not in the reference, the fault is in the text in the article, I am asking for an edit to fix the text in the article.
 * The reference there does not support the claim, we then have three options (1) Find a reference which does support the claim, this reference doesn't exist as the didn't get that money as income (2) Remove the sentence completely as unsupported by the reference or (3) fix the text so it matches the reference. I am suggesting that (3) is the correct option, fix the text so it is actually supported by the reference.
 * With regard the last part of "what else should be there" - nothing, we should conform to a neutral point of view and state the facts absent the peacock terms and marketing i.e. "Roblox has gained $2.18 million in funding via an equity issue." it needs say no more or less than that. --82.7.40.7 (talk) 22:16, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Bias and lack of criticisms section
There are numerous references to ROBLOX's paid benefits which do not benefit the article itself, and could be considered bias. The sources do not seem reliable enough either (random financial blogs and the company's website itself) and there is no criticisms section, of which there are numerous. One of the people who chiefly edits the article also appears to be a moderator of the ROBLOX forums. 90.201.84.152 (talk) 16:04, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Modified and added some material
I tried to make this article a little more NPOV, and fixed some grammar issues. I also noticed there was no mention of the two currencies, so added a section for that. I'd like this section to be expanded with any more information and some citations, if you have any.~xantiss (talk) 16:27, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for contributing on this article. I've seen you made lots of edits. Thanks! Jeremjay  24  23:54, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

New Section Request: GUIs
I believe this wiki page needs a section on the new Graphical User Interface system, possibly with a sub-section on the new user-created "Ro-Net" used by GUI mini-programs such as FireBlox and Enet I would create it myself, except I am still classified as a 'new user' Domos123 (talk) 18:25, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I don't think mentioning those are encyclopedic. I would add the GUI info. It is at Places. Check it out. Jeremjay  24  01:09, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Ref.
I got a message saying "I looked at Reference 24. The Gorilla Nation one. The article says Gorilla Nation bought ROBLOX. >< I looked at who added it, I noticed it was you. Please, check it next time. XD"

But from what I see #24 is not Gorilla Nation... am I missing something?-- Gordonrox24 &#124; Talk 21:38, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * My fault, it's #29. M onkey  F ox  Contributes!   .  23:44, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That's weird. Does Gorilla Nation own Roblox? Jeremjay  24  14:41, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I looked into it. Maybe the webpage isn't worded very well. Gorrilla Nation is the site that provides the ads for the Roblox site. That's all.-- Gordonrox24 &#124; Talk 00:24, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought that was Google. Jeremjay  24  21:58, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Lua scripted video game?
Roblox lets players program their places with Lua, but Roblox itself isn't a game made with Lua. So for example, WoW is in the category because Blizzard made the game with Lua. The game is an RPG, not a building game like Roblox. I have no idea how the devs made the game, but I'll look into it tomorrow. This is Jeremjay24, by the way.

Places
Amazingly, in Roblox, you can make your own place (for current Robloxians, "What a surprise...")! You can then save the changes and other people can visit your place. Everytime someone visits your place, you get one Ticket(Tix), the currency of Robloxia. RHYUAKN (talk) 21:39, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
