RE: Promotion Requirement
Hi. Sorry if it took a little while for me to reply. From your image, I see that the information on the table wasn't the same as the image. This is quite strange. I'm going to double-check in my game and SimPE to see what's in my game. Thanks for the feedback! I'll see which version is true!  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  06:55, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * I've just checked and you were right! I've changed the skill requirements on the table now. Again, thanks!  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  07:13, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Class information for TS2: University
I agree that it'd be good to include this, but haven't been able to figure a good way to do it, either. It'd almost have to be a table for each major, but keeping the size reasonable might be an issue. It's worth sandboxing it, though. Dharden (talk) 05:32, February 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the shorthand. It was after midnight here, and I was tired. Anyway, that just means going to the sandbox and working on the layout. Dharden (talk) 14:19, February 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * I think what you did on Talk:Majors looks good, though I think it would be better to leave the images for the hours out rather than use them so inconsistently. Dharden (talk) 04:41, February 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Argh. Tried it without the hour-images, and the hours display weirdly and look bad. Dharden (talk) 04:50, February 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * If you can make 'em, that'd be great. Me, I'm Graphically Impaired. Dharden (talk) 04:52, February 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * All right then. Dharden (talk) 05:00, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

RE: User changing several pages
Sorry about the absurdly late response - I had to go out for a while. I've left a warning on the user's talk page informing them of their edits. K6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 23:38, April 3, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Mention of me as owner of a Fanon on a talk page
That's true. When I duplicated the warning message, I forgot to change the username. I'll just change it now if it hasn't been changed already.  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 01:35, April 13, 2014 (UTC)

Nomination for rollback
I wanted to let you know that I've nominated you for rollback on The Sims Wiki. Please go to the Requests for Rollback page and state whether or not you wish to accept the nomination. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please let me know. Thanks! --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 00:51, April 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * Rollbacks, also known as "Rollbackers", are users that are able to use the rollback tool on wikis. On The Sims Wiki it is a prerequisite for adminship. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 01:07, April 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * Basically, the rollback button lets you undo consecutive revisions of the last user. This tool is quite handy. When you see someone who obviously vandalizes the wiki, you can just click this button and it will revert the article back to the version before the last user edited it. Remember to limit the use of this rollback button for an obvious vandalism. If there's a good-faith edit but you somehow need to undo it, use the classic undo button. :)  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  06:51, April 29, 2014 (UTC)


 * By the way, I've approved the request. Congrats!  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  06:59, April 29, 2014 (UTC)

Rollbacks
Congratulations on your successful nomination for rollback! Thought I might give you a short introduction on the rollback tool.

Rollback is a feature of the MediaWiki software that runs many websites, namely Wikipedia and Wikia. It allows all consecutive edits made by one user to be undone in one click.

What rollback does. Rollback only works on the latest edit (current revision) in an article. If you click on rollback, it acts immediately. Instructing the server to perform rollback will revert all consecutive edits made by one user to the last revision not made by that user. For instance, if User A made 6 edits in a row to The Sims 2, and no one else edited after them, using rollback will revert all 6 of those edits to the last edit not made by User A.

When to use it. Because rollback does not allow for a custom edit summary, it should only be used for obvious vandalism. It should not be used to revert good faith edits or edits that have good intentions. If a good faith edit needs to be reverted, use the undo function or manually revert the edit and provide an explanation in the edit summary.

You can use rollback to:
 * Revert obvious vandalism
 * Revert your own edits (AKA self-reverting)
 * Revert edits in your own userspace (e.g. your userpage or your user talk page)
 * Revert a large amount of edits that are deemed unhelpful, such as a malfunctioning bot, as long as an explanation is posted somewhere, perhaps at the talk page of the bot.

What if I accidentally click it? It happens, because rollback works instantly. If you do accidentally rollback an edit you didn't intend to revert, just manually revert the edit and explain it was a mistake.

What else do I do after reverting vandalism? It's not strictly required, but it would be appropriate to warn the vandal on their user talk page. You can either use a hand-written warning or, now that you are a rollbacker, you can use the pre-made warning templates.

Have any questions? You can ask me at my talk page.

Thanks, and enjoy your new toy! --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 11:02, April 29, 2014 (UTC)

Continued from Genesis Project conversation....
So, you play GTA too? I love the series. I've played it for years. All of the PS3, all of the PS2, Chinatown Wars for DS. But nothing after that. I like games like that. Like Saints Row, and L.A. Noire. (And, you don't have to reply on my talkpage. I'll check back here, for replies. Or look on the wiki feed.) WayfinderOwl (talk) 22:12, May 12, 2014 (UTC)
