Hello, I'm SWinxy. Your recent edit(s) to the page Creeper (Minecraft) appear to have added incorrect information, so they have been removed for now. If you believe the information was correct, please cite a reliable source or discuss your change on the article's talk page. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SWinxy (talk) 17:59, 12 November 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Markus Persson. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Please do not revert a change unless there is good reason to. See H:RV for more information about reverts. SWinxy (talk) 02:14, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

"Independent"

Since we're going a bit back-and-forth on this, please allow me to elaborate: "Independent" means "not owned by another entity". This is true for companies as well as other cases, like countries. For companies, being independent is generally a status quo until they are acquired or merged. In the case that a company is founded as a subsidiary, this should generally be clear from the outset. Unless the independence is crucial for a specific context (such as financial struggle onset by missing backing), it is generally redundant to include it. Hence, it would have been in the case of Mojang Studios that it was independent before it was acquired, making it not-independent (maybe autonomous within XGS, but that is another topic). I reworked the lead entirely, working the independence into Persson's description instead, which logically extends to Mojang until the 2014 buy-out. If you have questions, please let me know, either here, on my talk page, or on the talk page of the respective article. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 13:43, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

• The same applies to "indie", obviously. IceWelder [✉] 14:24, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm SWinxy. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Creeper (Minecraft), 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. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SWinxy (talk) 06:30, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
