This page has a problem with unencyclopedic content. People keep adding silly comments into the article. We must work to prevent this, as this is an encyclopedia, not a fan club. I added the list of games when this article was first getting going, but now people are messing it up by making puns and going on rants about how awesome everything is. It's annoying and bad for wikpedia. Noone has this name yet ( talk) 11:57, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Why does that one game get its own article, when the other games do not? Toxic, Hot Air, and Sky Wire have sequels, and thus should be first in line for own articals...-- JAdouble ( talk) 03:31, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
Dirk Valnetine had its own page, presumably made by a fan of the game, before Nitrome itself had a page. -- Sijapu17 ( talk) 20:53, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
Well, should each game have its own article? I'm a person who likes consistency, and there's certainly enough info for all the games in Nitrome's blog. On the other hand, if every single Nitrome game has its own article, then some people might expect a article on every single flash game on the Internet, which is probably not going to happen. So, should we? ★ QuackOfaThousandSuns ( Talk) ★ 19:05, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
If you feel a particular game is worthy of its article, make one. Don't just do it because you feel you should. Some games are worthy of extra recognition, others aren't. Those which are selected are done so at editors' discretion. If you like a game so much you want to create an article about it, it's probably worthwhile. Greggers ( t • c) 20:46, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Ithink your right, but Nitrome games should really only have an article about them if it's the first one made, it has a sequel, or it uses a new technique of programing or play. Uneak5 ( talk) 16:10, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Hey user:JAdouble. I MADE A SKYWIRE PAGE, BUT SOMEONE DELETED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE THAT PERSON!!! DownAirStairsConditioner ( talk) 22:35, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Learn how to write. This is not a user's manual or an advertisement, it's an encyclopaedic article. I'm in the process of rewriting it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.244.136.103 ( talk) 15:57, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Calm down, second person. I agree with the first comment. This should be a fansite. We must prevent this from being too encylopedic -- Important person 1 ( talk) 02:53, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
Cheers, editors. I hope we can develop this article further! Greggers ( t • c) 00:21, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Comments from Spiby:
I think this would work better. Tell me if you agree. It would take a bit of work to put all together, so I'm wondering if it is worth it or not. ( 65.30.164.14 ( talk) 23:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC))
Also, I'm not sure the purpose of the "Number" column and feel in could be quite misleading. Greggers ( t • c) 16:46, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Well, the problem I see is that right now we only have dates for like 10% of the games, meaning that it couldn't be able to be sorted appropriately in a chronological order. Once we get more dates, we con get rid of the number category, but for now I think that it should be kept. -- 65.30.164.14 ( talk) 17:42, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
I added the new list article ( List of Nitrome Limited games) and transfered the chart, adding the categories described above and removing the "number" category -- Mazesarecool ( talk) 17:54, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
The cat does not fire a "mega-burp". It is, in fact, a mega laser. In fact, it says so in the game's "controls" section. I shall change this. ★ QuackOfaThousandSuns ( Talk) ★ 19:38, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Does the article have enough references now? Or do people think we still have a way to go before we can remove the template? Greggers ( t • c) 12:14, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Hey! Do you know who did this??? The stupido's name is Yousuck-E-Pedia. you were gonna hate me and SPCC 4 the rest of your life, eh? —Preceding unsigned comment added by DownAirStairsConditioner ( talk • contribs) 22:46, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Someone recently moved this page from "Nitrome Limited" to "Nitrome Ltd". Per WP:NCCORP, the title should be Nitrome (since "The legal status of the company is not normally included"). I've flagged Nitrome for CSD, pending a page move. So if anyone comes across this article and it hasn't been moved to "Nitrome" yet, please do so. Thankles! Greg Tyler ( t • c) 22:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Don't know why someone is insisting that Nitrome is or was "owned" by MTV. Nitrome are a completely separate company and have only ever licenced their games for use on MTV's websites. They are also not in Miami. 81.151.91.94 ( talk) 22:51, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
I work for Nitrome. Whilst I will refrain from editing the article, I must point out that we do not employ 15 staff and we freelance work to musicians, they are not in house staff. We have also had people leave the company and we also employ staff you are currently unaware of. Do we not employ administrative staff? Who cleans the offices?
This comment of course is unprovable, you've no evidence either way that I'm employed by Nitrome or not. But then you've no idea who is still employed by Nitrome either do you? Think - why haven't some staff members you think are still employed not releasing games? Perhaps they are working on a big project. Perhaps they work for someone else.
I suggest that the employee count be removed because it can't be verified. Robotacid ( talk) 21:53, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Like a month ago, I posted a link to a wiki about Nitrome. A Bot removed the link, saying I shouldn't link to it. I read the rules, and it said I shouldn't link to wiki's, but can link to them if the wiki has a substantial history of stability and a substantial number of editors. The Nitrome Wiki is completely stable, and has been since it was created. It has 3 regular contributors who contribute on a daily basis, along with 1-2 new users a month. The Nitrome Wiki keeps up-to-date on all Nitrome games, including updating pages when new content arrives.
Most of the readers who come here would probably want to know more about Nitrome, but seeing how all the information Wikipedia has about Nitrome is about the company itself and a brief description of the game, readers would probably still want to know more about Nitrome. I placed the link on the "Nitrome" page so readers could click it and read more about Nitrome, about enemies in games, hazards, characters, and other content from the games.
Also, the Nitrome wiki has no "Mirror or Forks" of Wikipedia, all content is original. All I ask if it could be possible if I could place the link to the front page to the Nitrome Wiki on the Nitrome page. If I can't, I understand. -- 67.55.33.63 ( talk) 19:25, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
Should I add this screenshot of the Nitrome homepage to this article? I'd like to, but the current infobox doesn't support website screenshots. AGreenEarth ( talk) 15:22, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
Clearly on the Nitrome website there are no HTML codes being offered in their shop. Distributable games are offered via a link at the bottom of their site, but not on the actual shop. Random- Story Keeper 04:57, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
Yes, I am the person who wondered why the Nitrome Wiki link was removed. Now I wonder why the Nitrome Wiki section was removed. The Nitrome Wiki was featured on Nitrome.com by Nitrome, and in an interview. Why was the section removed? Shouldn't it have a section? Also, I think Nitrome Universe should have a section, or at least a link, as both Jon and Mat Annal have commented on the site, and it is also well known. -- 66.49.183.139 ( talk) 14:10, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
I've looked over this article for Nitrome.com and I have noticed it is out of date for Heather Stancliff has left nitrome and the four categories for Nitrome games don't even exist. Surprisingly the game section is uptodate yet this article isn't which is puzzeling. Perhaps someone could put it up to date since I never knew wikipedia to containt out of date information.-- 67.204.16.72 ( talk) 01:14, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
Considering they now have an app at the top of the iTunes market I think that should be mentioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.6.22.12 ( talk) 02:31, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
Hey, I like Nitrome, But I thought it was from Japan at first and then turned to be from the UK!
Also, I think it's Japanese British.
