Re: Colors in templates
That's good to know. I only discovered recently that you can do it, so the "adminnav" template is the only place I've used it more or less. I'll use full hex codes from now on. Duskey ( talk ) 11:15, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Good idea. Done. Duskey ( talk ) 16:05, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Student Union
French names are a literal translation of English names:

Student Union -> Union des étudiants

LFT Student Union -> Union des étudiants de FLF

Le Tour Student Center - > Centre communautaire LaTour

But in French it reflects a student organization and not really a building. I hope to have answered your question.

PS: Sorry, I made a mistake, I mixed up "Student Union" and "Greek House", the French translation for "Student Union" is "Union des étudiants", not "Association étudiante".

Re: Language userboxes
OMG stalker! Don't worry, I have THREE pages from wikipedia defining the numerical differences. I figured if we have wikis in other languages, why not let people know that you're bi-lingual. And more userboxes is always good for the community. Ah yes, I'll be sure to capitalize the language name. I'm gonna make a page in the 'The Sims Wiki' namespace detailing it all, but first I must include all the languages and made it work. Duskey ( talk ) 23:29, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Main page blog listing
I think Uberfuzzy removed the toc class to test something out, I submitted a bug report because the 'rating hearts' clipped into the 'read full post' link. I fixed it now by removing the toc class again, but also tweaking the CSS to make it look exactly like it did before, check it out. Duskey ( talk ) 21:04, July 28, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Swimming Pool
You are correct. I got carried away there :p Duskey ( talk ) 03:02, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

In reply to the forum moving: Great job, I knew it was doable. Duskey ( talk ) 22:25, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

CWAM
Duskey came up with a useful acronym: Check With A Morris = CWAM. Apparently he was thinking of making it into a template to put on talk pages, but you'd have to ask him more about it! -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 06:57, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Thoughts on edting
I've never used the Rich-Text one, never liked that stuff. We should put up a notice somewhere about not deleting it. I'd say on The Sims Wiki:Player stories and make a news post about it too. Duskey ( talk ) 14:36, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism
This user 92.0.112.152 vandalised some pages like Brandi Broke, he/she cleaned almost all content of her page, I fixed with historic, he/she also deleted the player stories template from some player stories, I also fixed. Please make something to this user ! Thanks Guilherme Guerreiro 19:23, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

But if this user continues with vandalism like cleaning content like he/she did with Brandi Broke´s page we have to do something ! Thanks for your atention. Guilherme Guerreiro 21:51, August 4, 2010 (UTC) Personally I think we should block him/her for long time, and I also think his/her actions are not newbie fumbling, what he/she did to Brandi Broke´s page is very suspicious. Thanks again for your attention Guilherme Guerreiro 22:18, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

The user vandalised 1 more page this time was Stella Roth/Player stories he/she deleted the player stories template again, I think he/she does not care about our warnings because he/she continues to do the same things. I also wrote a message in his/her talk page. Just to warning that I think the best solution is block him, he continues doing the same things even with our warnings.Guilherme Guerreiro 12:17, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Sims who have twins
Ah, I wasn't aware if could have both meanings. Duskey ( talk ) 05:34, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Separate Articles
No, it doesn't make a lot of sense. But, whatever. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 16:15, August 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm just piping in here. Which articles specifically? You could use List of minor Sims if they fit better there. Duskey ( talk ) 17:40, August 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * If someone creates a page for them and lists their aspirations, skills etc. I'd say it's fine. Duskey ( talk ) 18:08, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Sock
Hmm, it seemed to me that they were both trying to spread some sort of player tip. I just wanted a second opinion on the sock but as you said above about WhatZitToYa not noticing that s/he is not logged in, I think that that could be excused (as the user didn't really abuse privaliges). Thanks for pointing that out. Regards, GEORGIEGIBBONS 09:22, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Simcontributor
How do you think I handled him? I tried to be as nice as possible, but adding something to an article 3 times, while being told not to 2 times results in a warning, if you ask me. Duskey ( talk ) 14:20, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, it's always nice to a second opinion. Duskey ( talk ) 14:38, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Now he did this: which isn't the first time . After my dealings with him   I wouldn't mind someone else saying something to him, I'm already too involed in this. I warned him on the 10th August for adding unsourced stuff to the rumors pages 3 times in a row despite my notifications. I'm not sure how to handle this. Duskey ( talk ) 20:10, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Heyy
Can you PLEEEEEAAAASSSEEEE unblock archie he did nothing wrong they were just waiting for him to slip up once so they could permanently ban him please unban him

Re: You've got a point
Indeed. I DO miss OFB a lot, especially all the whackyness when the robota malfunctioned. Imagine those robots available in TS3, where you can make them 'perfect' through the skill challenge. I also miss the business aspect a lot. The real-estate system and consignment store of Ambitions just doesn't quite cut it. Not to mention that TS2 Servos can kick TS3 SimBots' posterior any day.

On the policy it says there's no profanity allowed on discussion pages and this is a discussion page and talk page is the same as discussion page.-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 21:02, August 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * I changed the word now and Monster certainly "suggested that I changed it myself" in his usual tone and etiquette on my talk page ^^ Duskey ( talk ) 22:30, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Neighborhood
Hi Dharden ! I don´t want to seem rude but can you please check Neighborhood page someone has stated that Downtown in The Sims 3: Late Night is named Bridgeport is that real or not because I don´t know and before I delete that information I wanted to talk to an admin to confirm or not. Thanks Guilherme Guerreiro 21:06, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

Warnings
Hey Dharden, I noticed a few warnings from you weren't inserted using the subst thingy. Make sure to include it before the warning template. Eg. Duskey ( talk ) 03:02, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Substitution covers it nicely, but what I'm thinking of specifically are templates for use on user talk pages, these templates tend to stay a long time, such as welcome messages and warnings. If the template changes it'll change on the user talk page too if it's not substituted. To quote the WP page: The archives of a user's talk page should show the actual welcome message they received, not the current welcome message. This goes for all templates used on user talk pages in my opinion. It's a huge mess if we have to go edit templates on user talk pages when they change. I've created Template:Subst template & Category:Subst templates to identify these templates. When issuing warnings you can either copy+paste from the template, the Admin Portal or simply type . Duskey ( talk ) 18:29, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's actually a nice way of explaining it in a simple manner, I was stuck on explaining why :p You COULD say a template merely borrows the text and returns it, while a substituted template buys the text and keeps it. I think I'll use that analogy to explain it in the future ^^ Duskey ( talk ) 19:03, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Page moved
Thank you! I'm not sure how I managed to screw up like that. ._.; Limeade 07:07, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Profanity and policies
I changed the block on that anon user to 3 days, since our policy states 3 days when inserting profanity. Nice catch seeing him. Duskey ( talk ) 07:29, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

Maid Article
Hi Dharden ! Sorry bother you one more time, its about Maid article in section Sims 3 there is one phrase that says that "Kaylynn Langerak, an important character in The Sims 2, is only a child when The Sims 3 begins, and is not a maid. However, it is possible to make her one when she grows up." Is that true because I don´t think so, even with cheats I never could do it.

Thanks so much for helping me with my questions ! ;) Guilherme Guerreiro 11:15, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Explain me why?
Can you explain me why you deleted the information I put in PT9 and Jenny Smith articles because I don't understand why. Thanks Guilherme Guerreiro 12:19, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Because you didn´t explain me why I puted the information again but with more care because I don´t think there is a good reason to delete that information. Thanks Guilherme Guerreiro 12:35, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

How can we make a sim became a maid
Please I think the maid article is wrong when I says that you can make her a maid when she grows up, please see the maid article if necessary fix it ! Guilherme Guerreiro 12:39, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Ok Thanks ! I will try to correct grammar mistakes in PT9 and Jenny Smith articles if now there are any ! Guilherme Guerreiro 12:46, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

P&P
Check out PlumbBobs &amp; Prejudice it's just a little something silly. Any relation to dead editors or living is coincidental and I hope you'll see it as the fun project it is. I'd like to encourage you to write the next chapter though there's no need to wait turns.

PS: I believe I've fixed the horizontal line in the archive nav box as per The Sims Wiki talk:Development Portal. Duskey ( talk ) 23:11, September 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, but that doesn't mean you can't contribute a silly chapter to the sit-opera. Personally I found it quite fun and relaxing to juggle some words around, which just came from the top of my head instead of having to reference everything :p Duskey ( talk ) 07:22, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Why didn't you include me in the story?-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 11:38, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Interlanguage links
That's what we need! The Sims Wiki in Nepali! I thought I had seen everything when I notied the hebrew and arabic versions :p I say a Klingon version wouldn't be entirely bad either :p Duskey ( talk ) 13:24, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

How are you
Hi Dharden, we don't talk for sometime,how are you ? Guilherme Guerreiro 14:05, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

You asked if the picture that I uploaded on the page of Bob Newbie, which shows Bob and Betty, shows them as teens or adults. I'm not sure but I think they are teens.You see it was a very old game which I lost.I'm almost sure that they're teenagers. I just wrote that they are couple, because that is supposed to happen in the future. ~supercrazycat~

umm hi..--SmiLeY4913 05:46, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the reference, just more knowledge for me :D

RE: Cheats
I didn't know that. Could you do that? -- Duskey talk 20:23, September 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Awesome, good work. -- Duskey talk 20:30, September 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Do you know if the same goes for TS2 stuff packs? We have some dead-ends which might as well be deleted if they're pure duplicates. -- Duskey talk 09:49, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Re: BAA
Well, I don't like to make decisions without talking it out and getting relevant information. What would be really great would be a place for admins to discuss this stuff, but there really is no good place on this wiki to do it, since everything is accessible by others. Perhaps putting sysop protections on the Admin Portal talk page would work, but I'm not sure if that should be done just for this case. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 19:12, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Could you clarify this?
Actually, I haven't check if The Kenspa could park in a bike rack or not, but it definitely couldn't be park in a car parking spot, instead, it goes to your sim pocket. Bundi2408 23:31, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Well, thank you. It's been a long time since I don't any pages in the wiki. Anyway, this wiki has a good progress since I'm gone.Bundi2408 04:20, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Dharden
Hello, how have you been?--♥DarthCookie♥ 04:41, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool, I have 3 adult cats, 1 female and 2 males. And 3 more that are newlyborn kittens.  I used to have 12 cats, but got rid of some of them.  I'm always on here, tryin' to correct "Grammatical Errors" as I call them.
 * Yup, and I've had their mama ever since she was born. 2006 was the year she was born.  Before I let some of my cats go, I had about 15 or 16.  The highest it ever went was 21.--♥DarthCookie♥ 05:06, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Caliente household and Caliente family
I believe these pages should be merged since they're both describing the same family but from different games. If this was the case with other families, than the Goth family articles would have many sub-pages. There-fore, I support the merging of the two pages. Please tell me what you think and if you reject to this.
 * Oh woops. I already did it. So, do I undo it, or leave it as it is?
 * I still say for merging the articles, but if you feel that strong about it I'll undo it all.

Thanx
Thanx for telling me about the forum! BobNewbie :) 14:26, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
