Bio
Welcome to my user page!

My real name is Patrick; I am a college student living in Wisconsin (United States), and have been a Sims fan since I first played in 2000. I also play SimCity and other computer simulation games. I am a huge fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, and still own a Sega Genesis with most of the original Sonic games. I am also a fan of Golden Sun, a video game series originally released on Nintendo's GameBoy Advance, and I've made a couple edits to the Golden Sun Universe Wiki. Aside from video games, I am interested in meteorology and cartography. I am also interested in human geography; how people have moved and changed over the centuries, where nations have formed and have collapsed, and how culture has originated and spread over the globe. In short, I'm a geography nerd.

I am an editor and Administrator here on The Sims Wiki, and I'm here to edit as well as to help editors and to maintain order.

If you need or want to talk to me, please use my talk page. I may also be on the IRC Channel for live chat if I'm currently online. Alternatively, if you feel your message requires more privacy, you can send me an e-mail, but please tell me on my talk page if you send me an email, otherwise I may not receive your message right away.

I am also an Administrator on the RollerCoaster Tycoon Wiki, a relatively small Wiki for the RollerCoaster Tycoon game series.

Current Projects and/or Ideas

 * Creation of a Wiki User/Editor of the Month
 * A system of user nomination (no self-nominations) or Admin nominations
 * In cases of user nomination, at least two users (not including the nominee) must nominate a user that has made significant and positive contriubutions to the Wiki or to The Sims community.
 * Would be handled in a similar manner to the "Article of the Month" feature
 * ...or Admin nominations
 * Admins amongst themselves select a user they feel should be given a spotlight... or,
 * Admins select a group of finalist candidates who are then voted for on a monthly basis.
 * Winning EotMs would have their name placed on the mainpage along with (possibly) a list of their recent contributions, a congratulations message, etc., as well as a link to the voting/nomination page for the next month.
 * Winning EotMs would be given an award on their Userpage.
 * Admins, Sysops, Rollbacks, etc would be eligible.
 * Winners would not be eligible to win again for at least a year
 * If you're reading this, feedback is wanted - go to my talk page, tell me what you think!

Completed projects / finished ideas

 * A template for short sections (see Template:Expand)

Riddles/Puzzles
Not Quite a Riddle - This has been floating around for a while, but hopefully you haven't heard it or read it yet - It's one of my favorites. Again, if you know the answer, go to my talk page.

''Two old friends meet up in a restaurant over drinks of cold iced tea. The waiter delivers two teas, and the friends start drinking. The first friend is very thirsty and drinks his tea quickly. The second friend is there more to chat, and drinks his tea very slowly, enjoying the conversation. The second friend finishes their drink, then suddenly drops to the floor, dead. Both drinks were exactly the same in every way - how did the second person die when the first did not?''

 Thanks for stopping by! - Patrick a.k.a. LostInRiverview
