Welcome![edit]

Hello, Fireproofstudios, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was The Room (game), which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Thanks MrX. Not created a wiki page before so kind of a new experience, which I'm sure I'll get to grips with. Thanks for the info regarding drafting and having an editor proof read it. I had no idea that this could be done or that you had the capacity to deal with it. You must receive millions of them! I can also understand how conflict of interest is important so I shall request to change my username so this becomes a personal account rather than company orientated. Again many thanks for the information and changes.

Quick question regarding the main title of the page. It is currently "The Room (Game)". However this may be misconstrued and may need to be clarified. Could you point me in the direction of how to change a title? Many thanks.Fireproofstudios (talk) 13:35, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your attention needed at WP:CHU[edit]

Hello. A bureaucrat or clerk has responded to your username change request, but requires clarification before moving forward. Please follow up at your username change request entry as soon as possible. Thank you. Tyrol5 [Talk] 02:51, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Room[edit]

First - assuming you are from Fireproof Games - Great job on the Room for Android, I loved it!

That said, you have probably seen me working on The Room article (now at The Room (2012 video game) to match our disambigutation naming scheme). There's some issues of claims that you as Fireproof Games can make that are (at least as I can find) unsourced, though the recent Guardian article from January 2013 helps to emphasize sales #s and the like. I think most of the rest of what you have is fine with a bit of reworking and sourcing (which I have done). As you might be aware, WP does have a conflict of interest policy (WP:COI) which doesn't prevent you as Fireproof Games from improving the article but does ask you be careful being overly promotional or adding facts that we can't source from third-parties, so I've had to remove a few things that bordered on that. But all the awards, for example, are justified.

If there's anything you have concerns with on the changes, please let me know, I'll be happy to try to help correct them in the article. Also, I don't know if you would consider the possibly of releasing some screenshots as free content; we can use screenshots with copyright under our non-free image policy, but we'd love to be able to get free images if you are able/willing to do so. If that's something you may want to consider I can guide you through the process, but don't worry if you can't; the non-free ones up there work fine for now. --MASEM (t) 18:43, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
