It seems you were given permission to post unused content, but I'm not so sure if that means it's okay to use a decompile to get the said content. (Also, he gave you permission to post it on the Nitrome blog, but not the wiki?) What I'm worried about is that the encryption program Nitrome uses inserts the so-called "unused text" so that we're led to believe the images that were decompiled never made it into the game when they were in fact a decoy. I don't really know how decompilers work though; feel free to fill me in on that.

Um yes, that is exactly what I mean. Since we are the major database for Nitrome, we need to be careful what information we choose to share about them. You pointed out an example; you've witnessed it in blog/game comments: users do use Nitrome Wiki for information about Nitrome. If something inaccurate gets posted but in a way appears to be true, it is taken as the truth and that lie will spread. Having speculation works in the same way too. I mean, Cave Story Wiki was a pretty good example of this. Lots of users were posting false information on articles and the people who read them took the content to be fact. But in truth, it wasn't, and the people who were smart enough to realise that take CS Wiki to be garbage, and tell other users who do visit to not go on there.

I don't remember seeing your imaginary date elsewhere on the wiki; did this end up on a mainspace article?

I'm not really sure if Four Play's code sourcing is done properly; I feel like it should be written in the assumption that the reader will not understand the code regardless of whether you see it as easy to understand. Well, this is based on the impression I get from the Nitromians hanging out on Nitrome.com, many of which I know do use/visit the wiki. It might also be a good idea to mention the method of obtaining the source code on the article itself, otherwise the source is left blank, with only text and no official reference to look to.

Thank you, NOBODY.
