User talk:A morris

Spotlight
Hello, I'm Miss Sophie   (talk) ! I am fond of your wiki and I would like to nominate it for a spotlight. However, I need your confirmation before nominating it. You could also nominate The Sims Wiki by yourself here. Miss Sophie  (talk)  18:19, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I nominated The Sims Wiki for a spotlight! Miss Sophie   (talk)  12:46, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

Hello, it's me Miss Sophie   (talk). Have wikia contacted you yet (about The Sims Wiki becoming a spotlight)? As I didn't recieve any messages. Miss Sophie  (talk)  06:40, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Hi, remember me, I asked you if that sims 3 expansion pack i found was real, well I have another thing for you to look at, I personally think its fake it looks like it is a screen shot from Microsoft Word or something, but I wanted someone else's opinion: Dentface 19:31, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Userbox templates
Hello! I just made some userbox template things. You can see them here, here, here, and here. I was wondering if I made them correctly (format, width, length, etc.). Thanks!  Bleeh  Lions make you brave, giants give you faith...♥ 03:31, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * The formatting looks good. Pages that use the template can be added to categories under Category:Users if you add the category to this line:

Category:Users
On my user page, in my user box, right after my image for IKEA Stuff, it says "Category:Users". I was experimenting with how to get rid of it, but I can't figure it out, and I'm sure you know how, haha.  Bleeh  Lions make you brave, giants give you faith...♥ 02:51, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * The " " and "  " were missing in User ts2games. --a_morris (talk) 04:01, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Spelling Differences
After checking out the The Sims 3: Ambitions article (how awesome does that EP look!?!?!?!), I had a question that came to mind. Should I spell in Canadian/ British English, or American? I am (and probably you too, considering you live in Canada also) more used to using Canadian. So far, I've used Canadian on all the articles I've edited, but used American on my userbox templates. I was wondering if you have a preference, which it appears you don't, because you spelt "Rumours" the Canadian way :).  Bleeh  Lions make you brave, giants give you faith...♥ 03:19, March 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I used that spelling because, I believe, that was the spelling used for the rest of the article. Here are some guidelines. --a_morris (talk) 03:27, March 5, 2010 (UTC)

Userbox Boxes
Now that I know how to make those userbox box things, I actually want to make more :D. I want to make some using images from moodlets, but I'm skeptical on whether I should make them or not. They won't be actual moodlet ones, because that'd take a long time. They'll have an image of a moodlet and say something like "", using the image I linked the words to. What do you think?  Bleeh  Lions make you brave, giants give you faith...♥ 16:26, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * That sounds great! --a_morris (talk) 16:27, March 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I finished them, and their categories. What do you think?  Bleeh  Lions make you brave, giants give you faith...♥ 18:44, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

User box fix again
Can you please fix my user boxes again thanksBellagoth 21:15, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Spotlight Request
Hi. The Sims Wiki looks great and I've added it to the spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk ) 03:58, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Now The Sims Wiki is a spotlight! Miss Sophie  (talk)  12:13, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you
For your warm welcome, and for the tips as well. I'm not entirely new to the wiki thing (being using and editing Wikipedia for a while now) so it shouldn't be too hard. Thanks again :) Daphoenyx 17:58, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Admin request
Thank you so much A morris! I'm so delighted to hear that. Walker guy94 [  MyTalk  ] 14:52, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Sim Battle
I was just checking your To-do list, and I noticed you want to make something called "Sim Battle". I followed the link, which is on the MySims wiki (guess you're using it as an example), and I think it'd be really awesome (even though I know Bella would win :)!). If you want any help with that, I'd be more than willing to help you :). Thanks,  Bleeh  Lions make you brave, giants give you faith...♥ 22:06, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Ombudsman
Hi, it's me again. I've just checked the admin request page and there are still two positions available: Forum Moderator and Ombudsman. Can I take the position of the Ombudsman? Thanks for giving your time!

Spellbound Teaser Poster?
HI i'M BACK! and I found a possible Magic EP teaser poster, but the plumbob on it looks photoshopped to me and it says joel faber in the bottom right-hand corner too:

It looks really fake, as the plumbbob image was possibly photoshopped. And mostly the words written there uses the "word art" template from Microsoft Word. --

Cleanup of the month
The list is cached daily. The last time it was cached is displayed at the top of the page. --a_morris (talk) 01:15, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Genetics
Hi, A morris. My name's Kate, and I'm relatively new to this Wiki (but not to The Sims, which I've been playing for almost a year). Would you mind answering my question about genetics? It's in the forum. And if you can't answer it, that's ok, too :). Sparrowsong 02:26, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Translating
Saille88 14:19, March 24, 2010 (UTC) Hi A Morris, I'm Saille88, I wander if I could be useful to translate pages in my native language, Italian (sorry for my bad English!), and who can add Italian to the list of languages here in Sims Wiki.

I've been playing The Sims since 2000, so I would be proud to help those who love this amazing series!
 * This wiki is for English only. A wiki for The Sims has already been created in Italian, Simspedia Wiki, if you would like to contribute there. --a_morris (talk) 17:24, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Lots of vandalism
My title is self-explanatory. I gots to go on The Recipes Wiki now. bye bye.The world is dead and so am I 12:26, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's most likely because we are getting Spotlighted. Bleeh 19:06, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

YAY!
We've reached 3,600 articles! Next target: 4,000 articles. Good grief. The world is dead and so am I 05:52, March 26, 2010 (UTC)

article deletion
Hi, amorris. I wanted to inform you that the theory that Vita Alto's urn or her family existed anywhere in The Sims 2 has disproven. Since the Alto Family Theories page and the Vita Alto theories page are no longer necessary, they should probably be deleted. Thanks! Dortheabea 20:41, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have marked Vita Alto/theories for deletion, but Alto Family/theories does have other theories not related to the urn in a Pleasantview basement. --a_morris (talk) 20:49, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

Adopting a wiki
Hello A morris! I was wondering. How do you adopt a wiki? I was hoping I could adopt a wiki then email friends to come and edit. Do you have any idea how to adopt a wiki? --The world is dead and so am I 07:48, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Done Archie 21:15, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

Jill Smith
You don't really know I was recently moved the Strangetown version of Jill Smith into Jill Smith (Strangetown) article. The Jill Smith article is now a disambiguation page of two pages consist are of a Strangetown child and a Garden Club. Could you please move it back? Thanks.

Therefore, Jill Smith (Strangetown) is the article of Strangetown's Jill Smith, the youngest daughter of PT9 and Jenny Smith. ApprenticeFan 13:23, March 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * When someone is searching for Jill Smith I think it is safe to say they are looking for the Strangetown character and not the Garden Club character, therefore that should be what they get. Directing them to a disambiguation page is unwelcoming. Also calling the disambiguation page Jill Smith (disambiguation) is extremely clear as to what that page is about. Third, there were so many links already linking to Jill Smith, I didn't want to have to go through them all and change them as internal links should not point to disambiguation pages unless they are supposed to. --a_morris (talk) 14:37, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Ack, I hate vandalism
This user vandalized my talk template, my user page, a userbox box thing (I still don't know what they're called) I made, and the majority of my images (he added a picture of a bloody baby to my talk template, he added bad words and pictures of bloody babies to my user page, he added a picture of a drawn bloody baby to the userbox template thing, and he replaced my images with bloody babies). I blocked him for 1 year, which may be a little too long but I know he did all that vandalism on purpose. Luckily, DavidMC123 reverted most of it by the time I woke up, but unfortunately there was still more. I'm scared that he'll come back or something (by making a new account, etc.) so I protected my talk template and my user page. So, if you see any more vandalism on anything related to me (or any vandalism in general, bloody babies aren't my favourite thing to see in the morning)and you're on please revert it as quickly as possible :). Bleeh 13:07, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Contests
Since I'm the community director (grins :D) and there hasn't really been many things made to get the community involved in the wiki for awhile I was thinking that there could be a new contest or something. The problem is, I have no ideas for a contest. Do you have any ideas? Bleeh (talk) 21:19, March 29, 2010 (UTC)

Not Again
Oh shoot. I am really mad with the trolls/vandals/whatever you want to call them. I'm a little scared to go to my user page, so I just want to know if you know if anybody has actually reverted the vandalism. I sent Angela an email about this. I seriously think the vandalism is getting out of hand. Oh, and I changed the recent vandal's block from 1 week to 1 year, because they sent me this wonderful warning "One attack. Once a day. Every day. This is all your fault. Ihe only way to save your beloved Sims Wiki is to leave forever. XxDarkButterflyxx 06:12, March 31, 2010 (UTC) At the end of the day, you're just the person who has to clean up all the shit. XxDarkButterflyxx 09:24, March 31, 2010 (UTC)". I also got a warning from a vandal on The TimeSplitters wiki, but luckily an unregistered user reverted their edit, so if you want to see what they did you'll have to check my talk page history. Bleeh (talk) 14:19, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

He won't stop
XxDarkbutterflyxx is really starting to scare me. He keeps emailing me disgusting pics and hes saying that hes going to kill me! Is there anything you can do?! He just won't stop! I'm getting really scared! Archie 05:31, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Please come on soon! He's come back! I don't know how, but he came back! The pictures are getting worse and worse! Please login soon! Archie 05:48, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Delete
I was looking throgh the wiki stickies and there was a spell check one on a page called my family of sims. This page has no content but I think it should be deleted because if they are planning to put content on it is most likley to be fanon.Bellagoth 19:23, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Resurection Project
Sure! Speaking of projects, I forgot about the console project, so I will need to start on that too. I also need to learn about the new templates. Archie 21:03, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Excuse me
Excuse me, I'm OGblack and I had put some picture of Nina Caliente on sims wiki. and I went to go look at it and the pictures were gone. according to some feature on wiki, it said you were the last on at that page. SO did you delete my pictures. If so why?!
 * No, the person who edited the page before me did. They were removed because they were of low quality and I believe not canon. The gallery was placed at the top of the page as well which made the page look weird. I think you also, possibly by accident, added some other images, the wiki's logo, which is used in the example gallery. --a_morris (talk) 21:50, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Urbz Articles
Hello, I wanted to try and work on the Urbz articles. Is there a type of article policy, or do I set up the page to the best of my ability? I left a message on the Urbz category discussion page: Category_talk:The_Urbz, to give others an alert that I am going to try and expand on things. Bunai82 03:20, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

Can't Edit
A morris, it's me, Bayoubash. When I log in with my user name I can't edit pages, but if I log out I can. I checked using two different browsers, but the problem continues. Can you help me? Reply to my talk page, please. Thanks! 118.137.127.206 06:09, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Contest
I made a contest called prettiest user created female sim.On the main page it doesn't say it in the contest list. If you can would you get a link to it up? There is a link to it in the page that comes up if you press join or create a contest. It says it there but it doesn't show it on the main page.Bellagoth 15:43, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
