Welcome
Hi, welcome to The Sims Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Grilled Cheese page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- JEA13 (Talk) 18:42, October 18, 2009

New pages
Hello and welcome to The Sims Wiki. New pages (especially ones about stuff still under development) are hard to create. I noticed you made two just now, but it is important to remember to write them in an encyclopedic manner and leave out personal wordings, such as "I". "Will add more later" is also a no-no in articles, a wiki is never done or complete, it's always assumed that more will be added later. For inspiration on how to handle new pages from new game titles, check out Penthouse & Skyscraper. They were made recently, contain lots of references and do not quote directly from their sources.

Should you have any questions about this message, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Any other questions about this wiki should be posted at our Help desk. -- Duskey talk 22:24, September 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Seconding what Duskey said and adding: You can leave those types of comments and opinions on the talk page. --a_morris (talk) 03:57, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

The Todo list
Please do not edit the to-do list with false information. I noticed you're checking off some tasks, which I can see are clearly not done. Take Category:Images of lots as an example. It is littered with lots from The Sims 2 and World Adventures which would fit better in their appropriate categories. -- Duskey talk 23:13, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

Templates
For future reference, Template:Sim2 is for individual Sims who appear in The Sims 2, or related games such as Life Stories. There are seperate infobox templates for families. See Category:Infobox templates. Dharden (talk) 06:45, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Hello ! Thanks to your edits :) There is lot of work to here, and you are doing a very good job, so continue doing but don't forget to put the player stories in player stories created pages. Bye, I hope you enjoy being in this wiki. Guilherme Guerreiro 08:51, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Amy Star
How do you know the promotional Late Night image of the lounge singer in the red dress is Amy Star? -- Duskey talk 12:20, September 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid a feeling isn't quite enough. It may lead others to believe that it is a fact if an image named Amy Star is placed in an article. If you wish create your own fiction you're very welcome to do so at The Sims Fanon Wiki. -- Duskey talk 18:07, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Walkthrough Guides
Do not add walkthrough guides to this wiki if they were taken from other websites (such as GameFAQs) and especially if they are copyrighted, as the walkthrough you added for The Sims 3 was. Any content that violates copyright will be deleted. If you are unsure if material being added is copyrighted, make sure and check - if it's copyrighted, it will usually tell you. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 01:41, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * This wiki only accepts free content (or content under Fair Use from The Sims games) where free means that other people are free to share and distribute it as well. This goes for text as well as images. See Help:Image copyright tags for more info. -- Duskey talk 10:18, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Blogs
Hi there. I'm still quite new to the blog system myself, but I see you created Blog:DarthCookie which was exactly the same as User blog:DarthCookie. Instead of having a DarthCookie category I also created Category:Blog posts/User blog posts/DarthCookie instead. I'm not sure we will allow users to have their own top-level categories. I hope the changes won't mess up what you've worked for too much. I'll be very happy to discuss it however. Let me know if I broke anything too much or let me know what you want and perhaps we can find a solution we can both enjoy. -- Duskey talk 15:24, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

PS: Very nice work on sorting the images. I'll have a look at the ones caught in the spam filter. -- Duskey talk 15:25, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced images
While you're cleared out the images of lots, I'm afraid the images category and images of sims aren't quite cleared out yet. Ideally Category:Images of Sims should only contain images of Sims which can not be put in the sub-categories. The Category:Images shoud also only contain images which do not fit anywhere else. I'm afraid it's a huge task, so don't get overwhelmed, no one's expecting you to do anything all on your own.

If you have questions about a group of similar images and where they should go, check Help:Categorizing images. If you're still unsure, just leave the images and someone else will do it eventually. -- Duskey talk 10:58, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

Recent changes patrol
Regarding the suggestion to add the "Recent changes patrol". There's a discussion about it now at The Sims Wiki talk:Community Portal. -- Duskey talk 21:56, September 18, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Hey
Well hello there. You can sometimes find people online on IRC and we're not even talking about The Sims most of the time :p -- Duskey talk 06:25, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
