RE: Featured article and poll
Sorry to be a flake, but it just so happens that I will be unavailable this March as well - around March 10 to 14 (see here). I'll see if another admin is willing to take on the task while I'm gone. K6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 02:51, March 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * No! This is not me! I'll do this! K6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 03:20, March 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * Phew! Well, that was time I could've used to study for my science test spent unwisely (shame on me and my academic studies), but I at least got the Featured Article and Polls updated for this month. Feel free to chastise me if I screwed up anywhere in between. K6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 04:04, March 5, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Italicizing game names
Ok, I'll just go and revert those edits. Joey.eyeball (talk) 08:05, March 6, 2014 (UTC)

Next Battle
This is a comment I recently posted on Lab's page and then I noticed that you were currently online so I posted it on your page, in case you might be able to start the next battle.

The next battle is just overdue to start. I didn't know where else to turn and I've been trying to add a couple of messages to talk pages, hoping to alert others but without luck. So I'm down to my last solution - contact an administrator. C.Syde65 (talk) 02:17, March 14, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Featured article nomination
I deleted the nomination because I thought a user could only make one nomination for some odd reason. I'm not really thinking straight today. I might put it back up. StartUp talk 06:13, March 18, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Nomination for rollback
Pardon my ignorance, but what is a rollback exactly? Icemandeaf (talk) 01:01, April 29, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Request for rollback
OMG! Thank you so much. : ) I wasn't expecting a reply so soon. WayfinderOwl (talk) 02:24, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

Sims Infobox and Career(s)
I have been diving into the Sim2 and Sim templates to see what is possible for Sims who are retired and have a part-time job. I got excited when I saw that there was a career and career2 parameter in the Sim template, but it seems that career is for Sim2's career parameter and career2 is for the Sim3's career parameter. So is there a way to list in a Sim's infobox that they are retired and have a part-time job? Icemandeaf (talk) 22:21, May 19, 2014 (UTC)

65.129.158.170 and 65.78.158.183
I've already left this message on Mathetesalexandrou's page, but since you're active, I thought I'd leave this message here as well.

I was wondering if 65.129.158.170 could be a sockpuppet of 65.78.158.183 by any chance. They both start with "65" and they both have negative editing history which leads me to question if they could be from the same location and if they could be the same user.

Re: Nomination for rollback
Thank you for making me a rollback! I'll try my best to become a responsible rollback. :)  ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  05:35, May 23, 2014 (UTC)

RE: I'll just leave these here
Thanks for the links. I stole some code from a warning template on Wikipedia and used that for the talk page links. I changed the wording a bit too... will edit the MediaWiki welcome templates soon to reflect those wording changes. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 02:55, May 29, 2014 (UTC)

RE:Unused files
Oh sorry, I didn't realize. I was gathering them up for a project and uploading them to this wiki as I was going to copy and paste them on my iPhone and upload them to somewhere else - an app on my phone. How do I delete them? -- 15:51, June 8, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Spam filter
Yep. I added that line just so I don't get PWN3D by the abuse filter again, like I did here. If this wiki had a Village Stocks, I'd probably be in it. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 00:26, June 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh, and aren't administrator rights bundled with the bureaucrat package (so technically the sysop flag isn't required)? --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 00:27, June 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmm, now that is interesting information. The good thing about MediaWiki wikis is that it's easy to test and reverse the damage quickly. Though not without leaving a permanent scar in the server's records...


 * Do we update the The Sims Wiki:Administrators page? It currently says that "Bureaucrats are the same as regular administrators, except they have the ability to add and remove user rights for other users. Bureaucrats can only have their bureaucrat flag removed by themselves or Wikia Staff, and can remove the user flags of any other user (aside from bureaucrats or Wikia Staff). Bureaucrats technically do not need to have sysop flags, though in practice they almost always have sysop flags anyways." Which, we now know, is technically incorrect. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 00:50, June 9, 2014 (UTC)

Happy birthday!

 * Woah, that's a fancy birthday message! Thanks Auror! -  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 17:41, June 11, 2014 (UTC)
 * I should probably take credit for first introducing the template code and "A PlumbBob for you!" to The Sims Wiki. But I still got my own thing, because I have...

RE: Can we talk?
I suppose.  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 04:05, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

Well actually I got this user mixed up with that user. The latter was the user I was actually talking about. But obviously neither of them are acting in bad faith.  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 04:38, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Bot account
Oh, I don't know how to operate a bot. Sometimes I consider having a bot of my own, but I just don't know how. Do you need to be registered to use AWB?

I used to ask Wogan and his bot to do tedious job like this. I should've asked you for help but I forgot that you had a bot at that time. TBH, there are still some more pages that need to be recategorized, so probably you could help me out?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  12:46, June 15, 2014 (UTC)

Delete Fanon
Can you delete Fanon:The Meeting of a Ghost as I no longer support it.

Nomination for administrator
Thank you for the nomination. I had to really think about this, but I have finally decided to accept. Icemandeaf (talk) 05:08, June 19, 2014 (UTC)
