User talk:Sapphire Moondust

Welcome to The Sims Wiki
 * Welcome to The Sims Wiki S*pphir3 St*rdust! Thanks for your contributions to the User talk:Icemandeaf page! There's a lot to do around here, so I hope you'll stay with us and help us improve the wiki!


 * Recent changes is a great first stop, because you can see what pages other people have been editing, and where you can help.


 * Questions? You can ask at the Help desk or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, leave a message with an administrator or post a message on my talk page!


 * Need help? The Community Portal has an outline of the site, and pages to help you learn how to edit. You may also try asking for help on the IRC channel, where some users may be able to help you!


 * Want someone to guide you along the way? Check out our user adoption program which is designed to help out new and possibly inexperienced users like yourself.


 * Spotted some vandalism? We have a team of administrators who will happily deal with vandalism when they see it. If you have found some vandalism from a user who hasn't been sanctioned, you can help by reporting it!


 * Please sign in every time you edit, so that we can recognize you!


 * Want to get noticed in the community? Well, we have tons of opportunities for you! The Forums are a great place for The Sims and The Sims Wiki related questions and games! Not your style? How about a chatroom with your fellow contributors? Have some fun on the IRC channel or on-wiki chat feature! We are also the host to a variety of community created contests. Want to suggest a change for the wiki? Feel free to ask on the community discussions forum! So, what are you waiting for? Get out there and have fun!
 * I'm really happy to have you here, and I look forward to contributing with you! K6ka (talk) 19:47, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Advice Needed
I see that you have already gotten a reply from K6ka, so I guess the only thing I can say more is to be bold in making edits and ask if there is anything that you don't know how to do. -- Icemandeaf (talk) 20:42, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

- Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it. I'll definitely be more bold, and will ask if I need help. I've already signed up for the adoption system, so I'll hopefully get help that way. Thank you again so much. S*pphir3 St*rdust (talk) 20:52, July 9, 2015 (UTC)

Adoption
I have decided that I will go ahead and adopt you, so that you can ask me questions. Although from what I have seen, it doesn't look like you need much help. If you would like to accept me adopting you, you can use this template on your user page: Icemandeaf -- Icemandeaf (talk) 01:34, July 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * True, templates can be a little tricky at times (like I noticed you quickly found out just now with the User adopted template. I have found that using preview helps catch many mistakes (although not all). -- Icemandeaf (talk) 16:41, July 12, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Question
That is fine. I did it all the time when I was first learning things myself. If you are making it your own page with your own information, but getting a template from someone else's page, then you aren't in any trouble. The only time you would be in trouble would be if you were to impersonate someone else.

As far as using American English rather than British English, the Wiki generally has a policy of using American English just because that is where the game comes from. So if you were to change neighbourhood to neighborhood, that would be perfectly acceptable. -- Icemandeaf (talk) 17:47, July 14, 2015 (UTC)
