Welcome
Hi, welcome to The Sims Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Tragic Clown/theories page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- JEA13 (Talk) 03:17, October 30, 2009

Hi from ArchieAndrewfan3001!
How have you noticed my name around the wiki?--Eduardog "King Ed" 3000 04:54, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Vague information on Trait page
Hi there. I noticed your two edits to the Trait page. I assume you added the question mark after the MummyCUT text because you weren't sure about it. A good place to write about things you're not quite sure of or would like a second opinion on, is the talk page. Other users can then contribute to your preliminary information and we can work things out together. All the best of luck and if you have any questions about the wiki, feel free to write me on my talk page. Duskey ( talk )( blog ) 22:42, July 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Those edits have been rolled back, pending confirmation of accuracy. Please put speculative information such as this on the Trait talk page before making an edit to the main article, and allow the community at large to confirm its existence. Thanks. --LostInRiverview (talk)(blog) 22:46, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

I added the ? mark because in the name of the trait there is a ? mark in the name. Also keep the "CUT" part fully capital cuz that is how it is in my game, I don't know what the trait does but it is there.--Eduardog3000 01:12, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Cite your sources
Hello there. I've noticed you've added some information here and there about the upcoming Late Night expansion. What you add information about titles still in development, please cite your sources by using the command. Duskey ( talk ) 01:54, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Well i did not know how to cite my sources, but i did put that Rodiek said it in the "Twitterveiw"--Eduardog3000 03:18, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, you mean on the pool page, sorry, but you might need to fix what I did about "Death by Thirst" on the pages Ghost and Death--Eduardog3000 03:18, July 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Since you are now aware of how to perform this action, you are fully capable of doing it yourself. See Help:Cite if you need additional information about this tag. Duskey ( talk ) 03:36, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

You can do that, I'm busy on other wikis, i work on the Wizards Wiki, Phineas and Ferb Wiki, Pikmin Wiki, Mario Wiki, ...--Eduardog3000 03:48, July 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's not his job to clean up after you. If you're going to take the time to include information on a page, then you should take the time to reference that information too. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 03:56, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

... Star Wars Wiki, Suite Life Wiki, Billy and Mandy Wiki, Chowder Wiki, Zelda Wiki, etc.--Eduardog3000 04:13, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Well if you want those pages clean, then clean them yourself, that is what i was saying.--Eduardog3000 05:25, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Let me Explain
Let's start with a simple principle; everybody MUST cite their sources. This rule is especially true in articles and sections regarding new games, because the wiki strives to have only accurate information, and there is a lot of inaccurate information out there. Therefore, including a reference to a website or page that has the information is vital; failing to do that means that the info could have very well been made up on-the-spot. Duskey was right in removing the information you included on the Death page.

Let me be clear here... saying in the sentence that the information was found at some source is not good enough. If you were writing an academic paper for a class, you would be required to give a reference; for articles such as this, consider that a good rule to follow. In this case specifically, the solution is as simple as including tags, linking to the Twitterview article. If you don't add references when necessary, Duskey or any other editor is totally right in asking for some sort of citation or in removing your information completely.

Finally, it doesn't matter to me, Duskey, or any other administrator if this is the only wiki you contribute to, or one of many wikis that you contribute to. When making a contribution on any wiki, you should edit as well as you possibly can. If you don't, the results are often poor, and that reflects badly on you and badly represents this wiki.

So, to recap; cite your sources correctly. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 03:00, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

I said my source on the death page right, there, Grant said it in the twitterview, I DON'T ******* KNOW HOW TO ******* CITE MY ******* SOURCES, i will make sure what i put there is there, if you want the sources cited DO IT YOUR ******* SELF.--Eduardog3000 05:38, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

See my ******* attempt to "Cite" my ******* source: Death--Eduardog3000 05:45, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

The ******* help page mentioned above make NO ******* SENSE--Eduardog3000 05:45, August 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * You only needed to delete the second, here is more text and here is EVEN more text.

You will get:

Here is some text, here is more text and here is EVEN more text.

We usually put a level 2 title ( ==References== ) at the bottom of articles and list the after that. I hope this helped you on your way to the wonderful world of citing your sources :D Duskey ( talk ) 06:13, August 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry; I thought that the reason you weren't citing properly was because you chose not to, not because you didn't know how to. If you didn't know how to cite sources, you should have asked someone who does know how, rather than acting like you didn't want to cite sources, because that led me to draw the wrong conclusion. But since you now know how to cite sources, I suppose this is all water under the bridge. Again, my apologies for making an assumption about your character. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 06:23, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Mods?
what about without?

can i have 5 then get hidden 1?

where can i get the mod for free without any risk of virus, or danger, or whatever.

--Death

Free mods, no risk, just make an account: www.modthesims.info You can have hidden without mods, you just won't see them as one of the sims traits

My trait affecting mods:

chooseable hidden traits: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=343046

infinite traits: http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=410544

the infinite traits mod requires this mod to be installed: http://ts3.tscexchange.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=198202f405c244ba7f80ddf87a2ab740&topic=1610.0

All risk free (i have them on my game)--Eduardog3000 07:56, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Isn't there one i can do for unlimited traits and choosable hidden ones? because i tried those, one was for a house, two were going to take too long. Thanks anyway for all your halp. --Death

I'm not understanding, those are the mods up there.--Eduardog3000 17:26, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Bots
I've noticed that you have created a new bot. This wiki has no rules specifying bot usage, but it is my understanding that any user can possess a bot to make automatic or semi-automatic edits. However, I would encourage you to do two things before making use of your bot - one, you should read this page to make sure that you get all the necessary information about Wikia bot practice; two, you should at least consider applying for a bot flag, so that edits made by that bot won't overwhelm the edit histor. As a final note, your bot may be blocked temporarily if it is found that it is damaging articles or not functioning correctly. If need be, contact me or another admin and we will block/unblock it depending on the circumstances. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 06:18, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Well for now, I am not really using it to be a bot like normal bots. It is really just a side account/joke, is that wrong?

Also, if one day I do learn how a bot works, and become an admin (I'm working on it), it will be an actual bot.--Eduarbot3000/Eduardog3000
 * Well, creating a separate account could be seen by some as a sock puppet, but the term mostly applies to cases where a user uses another account to drum up support for something; there's no set-in-stone rule saying that one person can't have more than one account, but it's generally frowned upon. Also, I know on Wikipedia at least, giving an account the name 'bot' when it isn't a bot is not allowed; I don't know if that's the case on Wikia, but I know that calling a user 'bot' when it's not a bot is misleading, at least. I don't think you need to be an admin to have a bot, but you should definitely know how to use it if you end up getting one. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 06:38, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well if you find out what i am doing with my other account is at all wrong, feel free to tell me/block that account, and i will cease using it, until i fully grasp the concept of bots. --Eduarbot3000/Eduardog3000
 * If you wish to test bot features, I suggest doing so on your own userpages or the sandbox, NOT actual articles. Duskey ( talk ) 09:59, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Undoing edit
Why did you undo the edit by Tabbypaw on The Sims 3: Fast Lane Stuff: http://sims.wikia.com/index.php?title=The_Sims_3:_Fast_Lane_Stuff&curid=30271&diff=164896&oldid=164836 ? Duskey ( talk ) 09:36, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Cuz he made one pic link exactly here, which is not a page.
 * Catching mistakes like that helps the wiki. However, it would have been better to fix it rather then undo it. --a_morris (talk) 16:44, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Good Point, sorry.--Eduardog3000 15:03, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your images
We appreciate the images you've contributed to the wiki, however it seems you forgot to add some things to them. The images in question are:

If you have any further questions about this message or this wiki, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Duskey ( talk ) 17:32, August 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * I must point out to you again that it's important that you choose the correct license and category when you upload images, with our new License dropdown menu it's never been easier. Duskey ( talk ) 03:59, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

Category
I deleted the category Musical skills since we already have Category:Instrument skills. Duskey ( talk ) 10:13, August 15, 2010 (UTC)

About Redirects
Hi. I can see by the Test page that you're trying out redirects. A note on redirects - most redirects on this wiki automatically move you from one page to another. For example, if you click on a link to The Sims: Livin' It Up, it will automatically redirect you to The Sims: Livin' Large - this is called a hard redirect. I don't know if you can set up a hard redirect to another website, like Google, but I imagine if you tried, the link would have to give the complete url, including the http:// part, something like: http://www.google.com. Hope this helps. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 20:23, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Main Page
Nope, all users older than 4 days can do it. On a related note: I am an admin. Duskey ( talk ) 20:44, August 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * I know you are an admin, that is why i posted that on your talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eduardog3000 (talk • contribs) 22:46, August 28, 2010 (UTC) - Please sign your comments with ~

Redirects in blog posts
Just so you know, redirects in blog posts, makes them not show up. They're only good if someone is going to the blog post link directly, eg. through a bookmark link or something. Also, when creating a forum post, it is important that you include or do not deleted the forumheader or the post will not show up in the forum listings.

I also locked your forum post, please see the disclaimer in the post as to why. I can only encourage you to divert your dissatisfaction with the incoming skin change towards Wikia and not The Sims Wiki. If you're looking for support from other editors, please do so at the general audience at Community Central instead. -- Duskey talk 11:39, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Forum post
Per your request on Duskey's talk page, your forum post has been deleted. As Duskey said, TSW is not the place to launch petitions or to seriously debate Wikia initiatives or improvements; please keep those types of threads off The Sims Wiki. Thanks. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 20:41, September 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * I also deleted your blog posts, redirecting to the forum post. -- Duskey talk 21:52, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Changing Names
I'm just writing this to encourage you, in the future, to be a little more careful when you change the names of articles. Here's why: When you changed Vampire to Vampire (The Sims 2), you left behind a redirect (page moves automatically leave a redirect for all but administrators). This is fine, since everyone would need to be redirected anyways. However, when you moved the page again to Vampire (The Sims 1 and 2), you created a double redirect. That's a problem because the wiki will automatically redirect to a page if it's a single redirect, but the wiki will not automatically redirect on double redirects. Meaning that whenever anyone clicks on a link to the Vampire page, instead of being taken automatically to Vampire (The Sims 1 and 2)(which is the whole idea), they are taken to a redirect page.

To sum it up, please be really sure what you're going to rename an article before you rename it. And if you make a mistake or need to change the name again, just leave it alone and ask an administrator to do it, since we can move pages without making redirects, and we can also delete pages that aren't needed. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 22:22, September 13, 2010 (UTC)
