Changing Welcome Message
Hey Dharden! I wanted to ask your opinion on putting a image on the welcome message. Like the spinning plumbob maybe? I know of a lot of wiki's that have an attractive image in the welcome message. Thanks! BobNewbie talk • blog 19:06, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

This is what I had in mind. BobNewbie talk • blog 19:25, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Could you please add it? The page is protected. BobNewbie talk • blog 19:30, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

I think we shouldn't use it on both. So, the non-auto one. BobNewbie talk • blog 21:39, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Help? Vandal!
Hello. I was on The Sims Wiki and I saw IP 77.71.146.5 was creating inappropriate articles, most recent being "Vagina Discomfort" and "The Lesbian Family". How can these pages be deleted? They also include curse words and other inappropriate content, mainly referring to sex. Can you somehow ban him or her from the wiki, too? He or she seems to be a vandal.

Thank You!

Userbox
What do you think I could use? English babel usebox at intermediate level or advanced? Do I still make many mistakes or not? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 22:42, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

No response? --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:51, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, thank you! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 22:28, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Also what is it better to use? Which one is the correct sentence "I've been really good" or "I've really been good"? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 22:34, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, thank you! What's the most common error I commit that can be corrected, thank you! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 22:49, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Hmm... there's something I don't understand, if I commit small mistakes why am I close from speaking itermediate English instead of being close from speaking advanced English? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 13:14, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Ok! Thank you! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 14:49, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Why don't you put a userboxes about your personality and favorites:)? --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:28, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Then I respect :). --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:21, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Just a note
Thanks for the advice! (:

Block
Could you please do something about Shugarrpuffs? He is using inapporpriate language and is spamming my blog. Thanks! BobNewbie talk • blog 16:56, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * The contributions show that Shugarrpuffs has made no constructive edits whatsoever and has spammed multiple blogs. GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  16:58, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

James t oskaleaon again...
Hey Dharden, I noticed you had blocked User:James t oskaleaon the other day for profanity and spam as well as a final warning on his talk page. It may interest you to know that shortly after his block expired, he vandalised this page and used an inappropriate edit summary. Thanks in advance for dealing with this. Regards, GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  20:17, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * This too. GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  20:49, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll delete his blog (which contains profanity) if you want to take care of blocking him. I'm not sure how long he should be blocked, though. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 23:26, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * *Sigh* Never mind. I thought the database was finally unlocked, but it's not. I'll keep trying to delete and block. How long do you think he should be blocked for? --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 23:29, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I don't like to make that decision on my own, but I was leaning towards that anyway. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 23:33, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not just Opera, I'm running Firefox too and it's crap for me -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 23:49, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

I think the recent MediaWiki update is causing problems across Wikia, thus limiting what can be done. GG  (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  00:15, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know what IOW means, but something similar seems to have happened with User:I hate the sims. Their page says that they joined on January 10th, but they had made contributions over a week before and were warned by you on the 3rd. I don't know, but my guess is that since all their contributions were deleted, the wiki returned their edit count to zero and assumed that they aren't active here, until they acted again. I don't know, though. -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 00:51, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * On a completely different note, did you know that CookieMonster888 (aka Monster2821) had a feature activated here without getting any feedback from admins? You can see what I mean here - You have to go to the comments section, on the third page of comments, about half-way down the list of comments.
 * The page says, "If you are interested in participating in testing it on your wiki, please leave a comment below with a link to your wiki. You must be an admin on your wiki to request the feature and we highly recommend discussing this with other admins first." When the staff in charge asked if he had gotten feedback from the other admins (i.e. us), he said that he had, which isn't true. Are we doing anything about that? --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 01:06, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Twelve plus hours later, I am still unable to block or delete anything. I've sent in a contact, but could you send one as well? Additionally, can you make sure that this user is blocked and that this blog is deleted? As of the time of this posting, I haven't been able to do either, and both should be done, lest we forget that he's destined for a permanent block. You'll have to check the block log to see if he's been blocked already or not, though I've already cleared his userpage and added the block template in preparation. Thanks -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 11:39, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, I've definitely noticed the 'discuss this page' thing, but as I said in the contact I sent, there are other things which I haven't necessarily noticed that are still buggy. This whole thing is making it really hard to do the job of admin, in my opinion. -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 18:41, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, it's probably important to note that MediaWiki was officially updated to 1.16.1. This is definitely where the bugs are coming from. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 18:46, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * "It's a problem" is truly an understatement. I haven't been having trouble accessing page histories, though. Hmmm.... -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 19:36, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

It's working! -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 19:46, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of disappearance of Bella Goth
The disappearance of Bella Goth was not fanon at all. It was facts revolving around her in-game disappearance that included third party acknowledgement of speculation and fanon, but was not in itself fanon,
 * It actually wasn't fanon; the person who nominated it even realized after doing so that it wasn't. I'm pulling it back up, and changing the 'Speedy Delete' to 'Delete' so it can be fully discussed. Aside from that, the page didn't meet SpeedyDelete criteria --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 19:57, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

3 IPs
Hey, Dharden. I think that I should make you aware of this, this and this range of IP addresses who are constantly removing information from The Urbz: Sims in the City. (history) I have left a note on User talk:2.102.149.9 to tell them to stop making these edits but it seems they have either ignored this or changed the IP as I had left the message. I felt that an admin should be aware of this situation so that the right thing can be done to stop this. Regards, GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  14:46, January 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * This makes that 4 IPs. It seems to be the handheld version that is under attack as well. GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  14:58, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

Spam blogs
Hey Dharden. Do you think that this blog should be counted as spam, seeing as it is advertising a user on another wiki. It may also be worth noting that User:Pizwat also created this blog which references the same wiki. Regards, GG   (t)  •  (c)  •  (b)  15:53, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

Do you know BobNewbie left Sims wiki, his userpage tells why, you could read it if you want more information, isn't it sad? --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:18, January 19, 2011 (UTC)

Custom signature guide?
Dharden, I've been trying to find a guide about creating a custom signature for ages but I can find nothing. Do you know where I can find one? |_Andronikos Leventis 16:07, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

Unused Files
I think special:UnusedFiles needs a huge clean-up, it has too many unused images isn't it time to clean that out? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:37, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks so much for hearing me! Thanks for cleaning it :). --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 20:06, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

User adding advertisments
User:Jonesjoseph has recently added some adds in the following articles Sim, Career tracks, and Knowledge. I reverted his edits, can you warn him? |_Andronikos Leventis Talk 13:21, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice, I will do that :) --Aster09 10:40, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Ban
Ban User:FatimaSimovichHleb ASAP. She is threatening users and posted a pornographic picture. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 18:37, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. And i'll warn you if she as much as looks at the line. -- BobNewbie talk • blog 19:09, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the beatiful images you've given to Piano's article, I loved them ^^. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:04, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for deleting the reference linking to me on Jupiter Belle's article, someone was trying to defame me :(. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 08:12, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

(my)Grammar issues
Eh... why is the sentence "... By making him dating female characters..." incorrect, I am afraid I don't understand why :(, could you explain me? Thank you! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:14, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Ok then what should I use in that case? Thank you. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:30, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

, thank you! --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 22:39, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Also is it more correct to say "could you explain to me" or "could you explain me"? Thank you,. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:44, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, now I see this was one of my common mistakes :(. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 19:02, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

I think 'crat requests should be open now because you and A_Morris are the only 'crats active and with the fanon stuff going on we are going to need more 'crats and if there open I won't request.-- CookieMonster888 talk 20:56, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Re: modding sites for The Sims 1
Well, I know about this "small issue", The Sims 1 unfortunately doesn't accept so much CC as its succesors. You mentioned you use The Sims Transformigator in a conversation, so can I presume you have the game? Btw, what do you think is the best program for modding TS1? |_Andronikos Leventis Talk 13:29, February 8, 2011 (UTC)

Good, thanks. |_Andronikos Leventis Talk 11:32, February 9, 2011 (UTC)
