Hello, I'm McGeddon. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Real-life room escape, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * Responding to the point you made at User talk:72.38.18.250 - the other games that are listed in the article are there because they have reliable secondary sources in the form of press coverage. Wikipedia's threshold for inclusion is that something has been covered by a reliable source. Without this, the page would (and did until recently) indiscriminately list many pages of escape room companies irrespective of their significance, making the article almost unreadable. --McGeddon (talk) 11:27, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi McGeddon, I can appreciate that. I'd like to see this through considering it does have historic significance and this form of entertainment is becoming very popular. She actually traveled overseas to play an escape room game and brought it to the country taking great risks in the process not even knowing if it would be successful. I can get access to an actual business licence document if that helps. Even though the initial date of creation of that Facebook page along with actual photos of the first teams to ever play an escape room game in Canada should probably be considered enough evidence.

 * I'm sure most escape-room-company founders have great backstories! Wikipedia just needs a reliable secondary source that's written about this particular company, to confirm that it's of some significance: a newspaper article, a chapter in a book, a review on a notable gaming website, that kind of thing. It has to be a secondary source, so a business licence isn't enough. --McGeddon (talk) 18:52, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
