Hi BobNewbie. In honor of all the cool things you've done for the Wiki, I'd like to present you with some awards.

The camera is to congratulate you on all the awesome images you've uploaded to your Tribute blog, and the medal is to congratulate you for being made a rollbacker! Feel free to move the Awards template to an appropriate spot on your user page, so everyone can see your accomplishments.

Thanks so much you are great! ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 10:27, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

What about Sims wiki storyline? We should study it and then making it ;). ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 10:35, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry friend. I will study this wiki storyline. ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 11:49, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Main Page
I would try and help you, but I can't even pretend that I know how to edit the main page. You would be better off asking A Morris or Duskey. Sorry! --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 21:27, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me moving the category sims with Glasses ;) I really love your attitude. ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 11:25, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

No response? ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 11:38, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Ok I will see, could you take care of the moving categories while I am on TSM wiki? Thanks ;). ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 11:45, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks I made my work at TSM wiki, I archived the rollback requests. Thanks for taking care of moving the categories. ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 11:54, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

No we should first care of the issue of DeAndre Wolfe I made that on its talk page. Give your opinion. Thanks much ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 12:36, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Please don't be offended but my friends will found ridiculous to have facebook friends of The Sims wiki and they will bully me, also, please I must say that I have Gender Identify disorder and I prefer to be call as a girl and I act and appear like one, only my net friends know about this because it is very difficult to explain to people who are close of me because they have seen me growing up, don't discriminate me, please. Sorry for the facebook request you are a good friend to me but I can't accept it. ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 19:52, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

What gender would you say I have? Do i loke like a girl or boy, my behaviour? Did you saw my photo in user page on TSM wiki, what do I look? Thanks ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 17:54, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

That is my consolation. Thanks, I do look like a girl and I have a very acute voice, I'm thinking to say to my parents what I feel about me, it is difficult because they know I'm feminine but they aren't prepared to hear waht I have to say because they have seen me growing up, I think you understand what I mean. Maybe I was exposed to more feminine hormones, when I was younger? Thanks for understanding, love to you ;) ---Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 18:21, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, yeah we should not regret ourselves, but it is difficult and I hope you didn't expirience something like this in your past life?! I'll try to explain to them soon as possible and when I feel prepared because it is never too late and I don't want to grow up as boy. Thanks for being so kind ;).

Re: Discussion of opening admin requests
I'm not sure I see the connection between having more admins and increasing activity. As for voting, I don't see it as a matter for a vote, but one of persuading A morris and/or me that opening admin requests is necessary. One thing that does concern me is geographical distribution, especially with Duskey being absent. A morris, LIR, and myself are in the same time zone (UTC-5). I don't know which zone Monster is in, but I know he's an American. It may not be a question of whether we need more, but of whether we need a few more who can be active when the North Americans are asleep. Dharden (talk) 17:31, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

Stopping by to say hello
Hi BobNewbie. I'm stopping by to say hi because I were interested of your country, South Africa. I thought Sims would never make that far because I thought the country was full of savannas and little villages there and there. I guess it's more than that, well back to geography class for me. Anyways, it's nice to see that there are The Sims players worldwide :D Whitecat2 13:40, November 15, 2010 (UTC)

PS: It was quite hard to write this message, my screen had alot dirt on it :X

Ah, well, I tend to have a too stereotypic view of countries :D (such as if two or more countries have jungles, the rest ones near most likely are the same) Whitecat2 06:59, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Simology
No, it's not. In English, one meaning of the -logy and -ology suffixes is "A branch of learning; a study of a particular subject". So, "Simology" is (roughly) "the study of Sims". Dharden (talk) 18:00, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

Links
I noticed in your article on Anatomy of Sims that many of your links, both to pages on this wiki and to pages on wikipedia, are done by using the full address of the page in single brackets ( [web address] ) instead of in double brackets ( Name of page )).

Also, when you're citing a specific page on Wikipedia, you can use double brackets that begin with the word wikipedia. For example, to link to the Wikipedia article on cats, you can type this: Cats ... which will produce this: Cats. Another item of note; when linking to a page on this wiki where the page is named something singular (such as Sim), you can simply add an 's' immediately after the brackets, and it will automatically be added to the link: Sims produces: Sims.

If you have any other questions about linking to pages on this wiki or to pages on Wikipedia, do not hesitate to ask.

Hey Bob!
(I know your name isn't really Bob btw)

Data is the one that always tried to start one, but he is online so infrequently that it never got off the ground. Duskey and I toyed around with the idea a few months ago, but we didn't want to step on his toes. That being said, I do think a newsletter is a good idea, so if you want to start the discussion of it (as in, how we plan on working on it, etc), feel free.

I don't have finals for a couple weeks, fortunately. However, I have two research papers looming that I need to work on, as well as a final map project for my dynamic mapping course. All in all, the end of semesters gets a bit more hectic for me. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 17:22, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I do need a little help here. I have some questions to ask you and they are: Over at your site, Make Your TV Wiki, would you be inclined to be affiliates? Secondly, do you want to serve in the administration team area (administrator, bureaucrat, template maker, or what needs that we currently need at the moment Board of Directors, Consultant, or what will happen in the future)? And lastly, what do you or what can you bring to the table here at my wiki? Respond on my talk-page with answers and/or anything that you have. Thanks for stopping by.

SP3
there is no source of that box art that and it's too soon for their to be a box art. also there is no official announcment from EA about EP3 thus for now we should consider it fake. i've already talked to Dharden about this.Bafendo 12:49, November 28, 2010 (UTC) i've already talked to Dharden and he agrees that it starting to look real but for now it should stay on the rumors page until more info is released or EA confirms it. Also, there is no source for that box art. and as i said on the rumors talk page, the BG is exactly the same as Fast Lane's BG and with the base game and deluxe version box art now having a similar appearance to the console versions the stuff packs and expansions might follow.Bafendo 13:06, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry to hear that - you'll be missed. Rollback has been revoked, and let me know if you want your pages protected. Dharden (talk) 13:49, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Weather
Under the circumstances, I'll note that you were expecting to be absent for an extended period, and that you informed me that's not going to happen at this time. BTW. it's "break", not "brake". Dharden (talk) 14:59, December 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's already done. The form for changing a user's rights has a space for the reason. I said that you asked for rights to be revoked because you expected to be absent for a while, and that I was restoring them because you'd told me that wasn't going to happen. Since we're only talking about a few days, rather than months, I see no need to reapply. Dharden (talk) 15:15, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Please come to The Sims Wiki talk:Community Portal and participate in a discussion of declining involvement here on the wiki. Some discussion of the issue and some ideas are needed. Thank you. -  LostInRiverview talk · blog 22:25, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

The Sims Wiki: Battles
Hi. You mentioned in discussion at the Comm. portal talk page the idea of starting up The Sims Wiki Battles. I'm eager to see what you have in mind, so I'd like to encourage you to go ahead and start a page at The Sims Wiki:Battles - if we can get this set up quickly, I may be able to feature it on the main page starting in the middle of the month. So, if you feel like taking this on, you have my encouragement. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 14:54, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

thanks :) "A19. 18:07, December 6, 2010 (UTC)"


 * Since you finished it so quickly, I'll change over the poll to your Battle in a few minutes. If you want to be in charge of updating it, that's fine. If it doesn't get updated in a while, though, someone may have to jump on and do it for you, since it is (going to be) a mainpage feature. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 18:58, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, I do have a couple suggestions. First, I'd maybe consider making the top part of that page into a template so it's not accidentally edited when someone goes to vote. I'd also consider changing it to last less than a month. If you want to keep it a month long while it's still being debuted that's fine, but I think having it update twice a month would be better - since you're updating it, it's your call though. Also, Battles is the mainpage template for the Battles... if/when a new battle starts, that template will need to be updated; I'm going to place the template under semi-protection, but you will still be able to edit it. Finally, I'm going to edit your grammar a bit in the introduction, since it's a bit choppy, unless that's a problem. Otherwise, it looks awesome! I like the appearance of the actual battle section, and I like the idea of having the voting occur in two columns; very neat! --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 19:34, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I changed up the intro a bit - I reworded the thing, but hopefully it's still good. I also toned down the bold text a lot, since it's a bit jarring to read and really wasn't visually that great. If you want to put it back the way it was, feel free. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 19:46, December 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am going to see it, right now ^^. --Guilherme Guerreiro (talk here) 21:14, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, I've got a bit of news. As it turns out, The Sims Wiki Battles was originally Random Ranaun's idea, but I've given you the charge over updating it. Since RR is an administrator, I think it would be best to give him official oversight over the project, but I don't want to cast you out of this either since you did provide some initiative for its creation. So... for official purposes, I would consider RR to be the person in charge of Battles, but you can continue to choose which things are featured. If you'd be willing to discuss this further with RR, I think that would be in everyone's best interests.

My apologies for this mess, --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 23:52, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

Hi. As you probably know, I was the one who came up with The Sims Wiki:Battles. LostInRiverview came and told me that I could have official oversight over the project, and I settled for a partnership with you. As the creator, I created a nomination page for the Battles, since the talk page isn't quite the right place for them. Feel free to look it over. I also included the first official nomination, Angela Pleasant VS Lilith Pleasant! Make sure you vote. You can either vote for it or against it. See you later, I look forward to working with you! ^_^ — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 04:58, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

Great! Well first, how long is the first battle now? I think that each battle should last at least a week, so that people won't get bored with it. And, do you think that the nomination page is okay? — Random Ranaun ( Talk to me! ) 14:08, December 8, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
The 'added by ' is only there if an image has been added as a thumbnail. It can't be disabled on thumbnail images, but you can still add images without the frame and the attribution by simply removing the 'thumb' from an image file. For example:

Working with this photo:

We see that it has a frame and attribution, and it is at thumbnail size... The code for it is: . Deleting the 'thumb' here will re-add the picture with no frame and at full size (way too large to display on your talk page!) We can add elements to that link to change the attributes of the photo where it is displayed - we can resize it, align it a certain way on the page, and even add a link to a page. For example, see:

As you can see the frame is gone, the picture is set to 250 px and clicking on the picture will bring you to the article on School. The code for this picture is.

If a photo needs a caption, you will likely need to add it as a thumbnail. If a picture needs no caption, you're usually better off adding it without a frame. Hope this helped. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 20:07, December 8, 2010 (UTC)
