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:

--a_morris (talk) 03:43, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

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)

Userpage

 * Well this is where I am going to ask you I guess... I need help making my profile thing on here. Can someone help me please?

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)

Fanon wiki
I agree with RR. Maybe combining might help attract more users but I gurantee there would be more vandalism. --Archie 01:01, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

A morris, do you think it would be okay to put information about the possible merger in The Sims Wiki News, so we could get the opinions of many users? --Random Ranaun 08:18, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

What about a poll? It would show us who wants the merge, or who likes the seperation. Author 08:23, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure about a poll, just one user could repeatedly vote and do whatever they want. --Random Ranaun 08:51, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Hey A morris, when should we decide if we want to merge with the fanon wiki or stay divided? --Random Ranaun 03:46, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

About the quotes
So-So. I got made the quotes by assumptions by other Sims Websites. Sorry to dissapoint you. The only one that wasn't made up was Ginia Kat. Author 02:47, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

Did you see my request for rights? Sparrowsong 03:35, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

About my request
Hello A morris. I've heard people on the kingdom hearts wiki say that there are too many admins. So I took off my request for admin rights. Hope this helps stop the arguments. Also, they say, it would be better if people could vote for people who want admin rights. Author 11:47, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Hi A Morris
check out this new wiki i created and please help me edit it the link is bnroken so please type this in on your URL bar http://sims2pets.wiki.comMyuntoldfunstory 15:40, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

I've got a question
Do you have Apartment Life? If so, do you know how to cast spells? Please answer, I know you're on...sorry to sound like a weirdo...LOL. Sparrowsong 04:02, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not anymore. I can't remember, but if you're Sim's a witch I think there is a "Cast" option in the pie menu when you click on something. --a_morris (talk) 04:16, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

But all the spells are grey. Do I need to like, find a cauldron in her inventory and take it out? Sparrowsong 04:17, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * You might need reagents which can be made in a cauldron or bought from a high witch of the same alignment. --a_morris (talk) 04:19, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! Sparrowsong 04:33, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

Edit war
I apologize for the edit war. But, sparrowsong tends to have ideas not really cut. I mean, if Frida really married, she would still have her husband's last name like Catherine Viejo and Olive Spector. Not sure with Tango, though I'm pretty sure his wife would still be connected to him in the family tree. Plus, Dina and Nina would've had memories of Tango's wife.

Suggestions
I'm going to give you some suggestions about this wiki as we can make several improvements. So here they are: I hope you listen to me for this time. --Walker guy94 (talk) 08:20, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * We should close the thread of "The Burn Wall". Even though those opinions are made anonymously, the negative ones are still considered as personal attacks. This is a collaborative site not a community site, so we shouldn't make opinions about any other contributors.
 * I've been checking through the admin request page, and I've concluded that this wiki will be flooding in adminisrators. I suggest that you should reconsider they requests more complicated than before as some admins who were absent in the past few weeks have returned to this wiki. More importantly, you should close the admin request page when no more admins are required.
 * Thanks for your suggestions. I will consider taking action in the next few days. When I was first given the ability to give other admin rights I was told by Wikia's helper "the more admins, the better!", but you are not the first to suggest that there may be a limit or ratio between admins and regular editors. I will do some research on it and also check on which admins are still active. I was looking at a wikia a couple of days ago (Avatar wiki I think) and they have strict policies regarding how long an admin can be inactive before their adminship is revoked. That might be something we would want to consider. --a_morris (talk) 13:31, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for responding! I'm sure we can make this wiki even better in the future. --Walker guy94 (talk) 11:00, April 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I personally believe that administratorship should only be revoked if the admin has gotten banned for something major (vandalism, etc. minor would be if they didn't vandalize or be rude to another user, but got banned for something else) or if the admin is absent for 1 year & months +, and show no signs of returning to the wiki (i.e. by telling a fellow user on Facebook or something they'll never return to this wiki/Wikia in general). Once they do become active (not just editing 5 pages or something) their administratorship should be given back, because they (probably) worked hard for it! ^_^. Bleeh (talk) 22:38, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is my opinion of who you should take away their adminship. TheDataMonster, Bella Goth, Bob Newbie is KL, Walker guy94, and JAL. Archie 02:19, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Admins become admins for a reason. Whether that reason is that they are good editors, are kind to users, or both, there's is always a reason (or there should always be). Anyways, only staff could remove Bob Newbie is kl's administratorship because he's a bureaucrat, not just a sysop. I do agree with JAL's administratorship being removed, though, it hasn't been 1 year and 3 months since his latest edit. If he doesn't edit before one year and three months is over, I think his administratorship should be removed until he comes back and becomes active once again. If he comes back and becomes active again. Bleeh (talk) 02:38, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

Bob and Betty Newbie of console
Bob and Betty actually are not the same people. Secondly they appear in the console version of the sims 2, not The Sims 2 Pets (Console).
 * I fixed that in Betty Newbie (console)'s page after completely reading Bob's. They seem the same to me they are even married to the same people. --a_morris (talk) 21:09, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hi A Morris
Its myuntoldfunstory i have a question do you mind if i make a page on this wiki advertising the sims 2 pets wiki if you dont want me to i completely understand and i DO NOT want to be known as compition im just making that wiki to expand the part aboute it on your wiki and if you want to pleeese tell your freinds about it and if you can pleeeeeeeeese edit if you can possibly do it
 * I will link to your wiki, where we have other related sites, at The Sims Wiki:About and in the sidebar. --a_morris (talk) 00:29, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Right now it's 2:04 so I'm gonna have to call it a night on vandal watch. Goodnight. Archie 06:05, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Clean up of the month

Direct Admin Request
I have been a member of the Sims Wiki for a few months now, but have been a fan of the Sims for nearly nine years now, and I want to become a proper member of the community. I want to become an administrator, so that I can contribute more to the site. I never use slang and always use correct form when I write, so you know that my contributions will be worthwhile. I would have made a request on the request page, but it was not working properly on my computer.

Please consider me, and reply as soon as possible on my talk page "alexjames" 10:23 Fri 23rd Apr.
 * I know I'm not A morris, nor am I even a bureaucrat (I'm a sysop), but you have to request administratorship here. Otherwise, you're either not going to get a response, or you will be asked to request administratorship there, like I'm doing now. I'm sure once you request administratorship there you will get a response as soon as possible from A morris. If I could I would move your response there myself, but requests are supposed to be in point form, not in paragraphs. Thanks for reading. Bleeh (talk) 15:08, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

New Italiono Sims Wiki
Not sure, if you noticed, or if you even care, there is a new Italion wiki. Instead of just ignoring me like you usually do, can please put the italian wiki under languages? Archie 03:21, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Talk Bubbles?
Hey, I'm new to wikia... I've made pages, edited things, but I just don't know about talk bubbles. Can anyone help? I'd appreciate that. :)

Don't mean to bother you

 * No, I haven't been changing it. --a_morris (talk) 21:01, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've noticed that sometimes the background doesn't load. --a_morris (talk) 21:08, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I personally don't like the custom skin, so, I just the Monobook skin. --Auror. plus the great Andrachome 21:10, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure if it's just my computer but, the skin is always Jade! It won't go back! Is there anything you can do? Archie 03:21, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the skin and styles are not loading properly. I am getting Sapphire too sometimes. Refreshing the page usually helps. --a_morris (talk) 03:26, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am getting the sapphire skin for every page that I'm often on (i.e. my home, my talk page, etc.). Bleeh (talk) 03:32, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Vote
Okay, so since the first vote of the new poll thing was casted in favor (i.e. your vote), does that mean that users can no longer move fanon to the user who created the fanon's namespace, if not already created there? Even though "Disagree" is winning? Sorry, I'm just not so clear on what to do. Bleeh (talk) 15:03, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Continue to move fanon to the user namespace until after the vote, and all decisions are made. --a_morris (talk) 16:58, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Community contests and stuff
I'm going to post a blog thing about what users want to have as a community contest. I was wondering if after I could give you all of their ideas and then you can help choose which you think would be the most useful to the wiki and/or fun for the users. Thanks. Bleeh (talk) 15:19, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. That sounds great! --a_morris (talk) 17:02, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Delete the following files, please

 * You didn't upload all of those images. I'll delete the ones you did upload (if any). Bleeh (talk) 21:19, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, all of those are Jacob's images, that he asked you to delete, but, he was of course mad at you at the time. Author 21:21, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Images have been deleted. Bleeh (talk) 21:28, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks Bleeh! Author 21:33, May 1, 2010 (UTC)

Weekly Poll
Hey A morris what happened to the weekly Poll you used to have?
 * Bob Newbie is kl is in charge of the polls. --a_morris (talk) 13:55, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thats the problem though. He doesn't come on very much anymore, so, I think either Walker guy94 or Bleeh should replace him. Thats just my opinion though. Archie 03:29, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Hi A morris, thanks for the friendly welcome! If I'm stuck in a rut I'll be sure to give you a shout :) happy Simming!

Hello.
Hi and thanks for welcoming me. I'm a little new to the Sims, since I only started playing January this year, but I have mastered most of the things. Could i ask you a few questions?

1. An admin is the highest person in power on the wiki, right? Apart from Central Wikia, I guess. How do you become one? I know I'm not qualified, I only have about two edits...

2. How do you make one of those talk-box things? Looks quite nice.

3. How do you make your own userbox? I've been looking for a specific one but I haven't found it.

4. And lastly how do you make your userpage look... um... decent? Yours is nice but mine has like practically nothing on it.

Thanks for your time.

Sprinkle love! 07:19, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you.

Jmgdigimon and the Pleasantview article
This user keeps inserting a link to Forum:Alien_stories_of_Pleasntview into the Families section of the Pleasantview article, even though it's player stories/fanon. Kiwi Tea removed it once, and I've removed it twice, but Jmgdigimon keeps putting it back. Since this could turn into an edit war, I thought I'd pass it up to you before it goes on too long.

The user name is Jeffo jackinson, and he is repeatedly vandalizing the Young adult article. Dharden 14:32, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Salutations, A morris. There is a user named Jeffo jackinson who has been vandalising the wiki. I was wonder if you could undo or rollback his edits. DavidMC123


 * He has been blocked and all his edits undone. --a_morris (talk) 21:27, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Archie
Could you try to resolve the little issue with Archie? Sparrowsong 00:57, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

I mean, he's wondering why he was blocked, and I think he deserves to know, but I don't exactly have the heart to tell him...*gulps nervously* Sparrowsong 15:24, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

I was going to tell Archie about my grandfather's death, but, he's blocked. I come on after a couple of days, and learn that he's blocked. I need another break. I'm sorry. Author 03:53, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

I'm a little worried about the fact that you're currently the only active admin, since Bleeh is taking a break. If you went on vacation or your internet crashed or you lost your password, we'd be hooped. I was thinking we could use 1 or 2 more admins. Would you agree? Also, do you think I'd make a good one?

A morris, was it really necessary to ban that user? While his/her edits were unconstructive, s/he didn't sound like a troll to me. S/he sounded like either a little kid goofing around or a newbie who doesn't know any better. What if this is someone who really loves The Sims and could become a great contributor someday? I think you should at least give a user 2-3 warnings before you ban them. We're supposed to be AGFing, aren't we? Sparrowsong 04:32, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

P.S. Also, I believe Italay90's ban should be shortened. I know s/he vandalized Bleeh's page, but that doesn't really constitute a permanent ban.

P.P.S. I'm sorry if you're offended by this.


 * You can't really give anonymous user warnings because they don't have a static talk page. I found "stripping" as a career deserving of a temporary ban. I have ended Italay90's ban. Italay90's vandalism of Bleeh's page could be considered harassment and is against Wikia's terms of service, but I have not found any guidelines from Wikia about policies dealing with users who break them. --a_morris (talk) 14:18, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, still, you should at least try. I made mistakes when I was new. I'm sure you did, too. Sparrowsong 15:03, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * P.S. A.P. Freeman and Salemguy123 are sockpuppets of ArchieAndrewFan3001.
 * Thats old news, A morris was already involved. I'm not sure about A.P. Freeman, he seemed so nice. Salemguy...eh. --Auror. plus the great Andrachome 19:11, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Seriously, though. I got a checkuser to confirm it and everything. Could you please ban them? Sparrowsong 22:50, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Twinbrook
Hi. There have been a lot of edits back and forth regarding Twinbrook. Since everything pre-release is highly specultaive, would it be possible to semi-protect the article for about a week until the game is released? The page is sort of developing into an edit war and, again, we won't know any real facts until the game is actually released, so the edits are really pointless and distracting. Thanks. --LostInRiverview 00:11, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

That user made an inappropriate blog post comment. Sparrowsong 03:36, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

The person using this IP is engaging in repeated vandalism. This person's edits are also including things such as "Rebecchi", "Toadie", "Toadie Rebecchi", "Billy Kennedy", and references to "The Full Monty" that I have seen from other IPs. Dharden 16:56, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
