A few of your edits
Could you please explain why exactly you blanked Talk:Gordon King? There was nothing on that talk page that was offensive in any way nor was there anything that actually needed to be blanked.

Also, could you please refrain from over-reactive edit summaries and telling users that you are going to report them. You're only giving them a reaction, which is exactly what they want and if they know that it's winding you up then they'll only continue. I know you're only trying to help and I appreciate that but you really need to tone it down a lot. If you catch somebody vandalising or whatever, leave them a templated warning and should they persist then report them and move on. Just remember to remain calm and don't go overboard with your emotions. 12:33, May 10, 2014 (UTC)

Unused accessories on aliens
Why did you add unused accessories category to all aliens? I understand if you added it to pollination technicians, but why did you do that on Stella Terrano and birth queens?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  17:34, May 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * Everyone knows the alien skin tone is hidden from access, and it's not a mystery or a secret. It's hidden for a reason, because it's not part of a normal gameplay, but as an unlockable feature somehow. I don't think they're legitimate to be considered wearing unused accessories. When you think about it, what makes them as special as Irma Oldie and Romeo Monty? In Irma's case, the beehive hairdo only appears once, and it's not even in the game. In Romeo's case, he wears a beta-old hairstyle that's hidden somehow, and he's the only one to wear it. No one can tell what's the motive the developer made him wear that; probably a mistake or on purpose. But for the alien's case? They are indeed supposed to have the alien skin tone, and that doesn't make them strange. Anyone expects it, and won't really consider them to "wear unused accessories".

Linking convention
Just a heads-up, when you link something, remember that based on our Manual of Style, it's not necessary to begin every link with a capital letter. For example, try not to use Adult, Trait, Zombie, and Grocery. Instead, just use the regular wording adult, trait, zombie, and grocery. Only certain terms should really have capital, including, but not limited to:
 * The term "Sim" and words containing "Sim", e.g. plantSim and SimBot
 * A game title, e.g. The Sims: Makin' Magic
 * Trait and aspiration names, e.g. Hot-Headed and Fortune
 * Skill name, e.g. Logic
 * Career name, e.g. Journalism
 * Career title name, e.g. Celebrity Chef (This one is just a wording convention. There's necessarily no link to a career title)

I'm sure there are more examples, but I can't remember now. Other than these, all terms should be in lowercase.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  05:19, May 24, 2014 (UTC)

Welcome back!
Hi C.Syde! How are you today? The Wiki is normal as usual, with new users and more vandalized users, however, 5-3 days ago (I think) the bot has been faulty but now it's working. And ILS5 has been created another sockpuppet but the admins immediately blocked her sockpuppet. Oh and check out the blog by LiR if you haven't read it yet. :)  ThePeculiarMe  |  (talk to me)  04:15, June 1, 2014 (UTC)

Wikithanks
You've worked very hard for the wiki and that has not gone unnoticed by myself and your other peers on this website. Here's a wikithanks for all the work you pour into this wiki! Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 18:23, June 1, 2014 (UTC)

Aha, thank you very much! I wondered if I'd ever be getting one of those! :)  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 20:39, June 1, 2014 (UTC)

Your talk page archives
Hello again, Sea Side - I mean, C.Syde. Your talk page archive, according to the page history, is over 80K bytes! Of course, the point of archiving is to compensate for users with slow Internet connections or on mobile devices. Eventually though, an archive page will be large enough to defeat the whole point of archiving.

So what we do is simply create another archive page. The procedure is the same as the one I explained to you before. The only difference is that, instead of the page being called User talk:C.Syde65/Archive 1, it would be called User talk:C.Syde65/Archive 2.

The archive template navbox would also be modified to include a link to the second archive page. For example:

You can see an example on my Wikipedia talk page (archive template is on the right, scroll down a little bit and you'll see it). Once a different number archive is created, the old ones are left alone and are no longer modified.

On my Wikipedia talk page, I set the archive size limit at 70K bytes (An automated bot archives my talk page there for me), but it's up to you to decide what the cap should be. I would recommend something below 150K. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 01:25, June 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * The archive size limit is just a mental note, or you can add an HTML comment somewhere that'll remind you. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 23:06, June 12, 2014 (UTC)

Can we talk?
There's something I'd like to discuss with you. Can you please come onto the wiki Chat? -  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 04:03, June 13, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Which NPCs are safe to play as
I didn't move it into the category for "dangerous Sims". I moved it into the "Safe but may have annoying behaviour". If you haven't had any problems, then I'll just move it appropriately. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 01:34, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Even with "safe" NPCs, there may be a few glitches that pop up as the game might now clear the NPC flag correctly. Cyjon's debugger has an option that will correctly reset the NPC flag, so a maid that has been moved in will become a fully playable Sim and not an NPC.


 * Also, it is possible to move in some dangerous NPCs without cheats, such as the social worker. That's why you have to be careful. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 01:40, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Go ahead and add it. It's getting late at night and I'm tired, not to mention it's Friday the 13th AND a full moon tonight. The entire article was copy and pasted from here, and that wiki is pretty picky on who gets to edit its pages. It's not useless, but a number of articles have errors in them, some of them neighborhood-corrupting! --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 02:17, June 14, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Beta old hairstyle
Well, when I mentioned that it was beta, it wasn't a claim or a fact. But I'm personally 100% certain that these hairstyles (Romeo's hairstyle and Gibs' hairstyle) are beta content. The textures are different with hairstyles that are in the release version. These hairstyles are ashen and washed-out, just like most beta hair textures. Try to compare these hair textures below.

It's actually more noticeable if you look at it in CAS by yourself. And if you compare the textures with the release version hairstyles, the textures are smoother and shinier.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  04:52, June 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Forget how I describe it. In short, Romeo's and Gibs' hairstyles looks more like unused hairstyles instead of the release hairstyles, which is why I called them "beta hairstyles".  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  06:31, June 14, 2014 (UTC)

A notice
I removed your additions to User talk:Safe&Sound27. The issue regarding ILoveSims5 and her socks is a complicated on-going administrative concern, and it is best handled by the administrators themselves. Please do not get involved in ongoing administrative concerns, such as handling user unblocks. These matters are handled by administrators because only administrators can resolve user unblocks, and are not generally open to community input or involvement. If you feel this precedent should change, please consider starting a discussion on the community discussions forum.

By the way, for what it's worth, the odds of that user, or any of her other socks, getting unblocked is essentially zero. No amount of advice is going to help her. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 04:49, June 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * The issue here isn't about this particular user. The fact that she is beyond help is irrelevant. The whole point is that you're not in the position to help her because you're not an administrator. There's a reason user blocks are discussed on the Admin Portal Talk Page and not in the fourms; it's because these discussions aren't meant to be driven by community consensus. The discussions are intended for administrators to formulate a plan of action. In this case, our plan of action is to not give the user any more chances. When you, as a non-administrator, leave a message like you did, it undermines the actions that the administrators are taking to handle the situation. I believe your heart is in the right place and I believe you're trying to help, but as of right now you're in over your head. I am strongly advising you to stop getting involved in any further matters regarding ILoveSims5 or her sockpuppets. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 05:05, June 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * The thing you need to understand is that discussions about blocking or unblocking users are not community discussions. The administrators are the only people who can block and unblock other users, and they are the only people who can set the conditions under which a user can return to the wiki. Now, the community could establish criteria for the administrators to follow, and that indeed is what happened in Forum:Unblock system. But it is the job of the administrators alone to enforce those rules; there simply is no room for community involvement when it comes to deciding whether to block or unblock a specific user. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 05:25, June 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * @C.Syde65 What LiR said above. It was decided that ILS5 will have absolutely no chance of getting unblocked. Ever. Period. We've already given her all the chances she needed. If we become "too nice" and give her virtually infinite chances, this madness will not end. Even if she's 13 years old and becomes "mature enough not to ignore all the advice we give her", she's not coming back. Essentially, this is a permanent, irremovable ban. Her privilege to be an editor on The Sims Wiki is gone forever. All she can do now is read the articles, which cannot be revoked and we will not revoke, because that isn't an issue at all. If you're asking that we give her a second chance... well, we already did. That was her ticket on board R.M.S. The Sims Wiki, and she threw it away. We're not printing another ticket for her. --k6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 12:53, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

I never said that you should become "too nice". If anything, I'm quite pleased that you're not. If she didn't see that coming, well that's just too bad for her. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 07:11, June 23, 2014 (UTC)

Premade Sims fanons
Before I tell you, I want to apologize. I should have told you much earlier fanons based on premade Sims have their own naming convention. They all should be titled "Fanon: (Username)", or replace the username with anything that makes it unique from other fanons. The problem is that there are always possibilities that other users would create fanons based on the same premade Sim.

Again, I'm sorry for not telling you earlier. For what it's worth, you can do this for your future fanons. Your fanons would be renamed eventually. But since you have a lot of fanons, I think it would be done periodically. You can rename them yourself if you want to too. No need to hurry though.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:45, June 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah, sorry for such a late reply. Let's just say, you should rename Fanon:Bella Goth to Fanon:Bella Goth (C.Syde65), and all's done. I might ask LiR to let his bot do this, but currently I'm very busy and I'm not yet sure what to rename and what not to rename. But at least you know the idea, and that's what's important for now.

Re: Contradiction
No, the proposal was to remove the anti-vandalism requirements from the Request for Rollback process. New applicants for rollback status no longer have to demonstrate a history of combating vandalism. The requirement that users have rollback before being eligible for administrator was not changed and is still in place. -  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 17:00, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Questions

 * No, a bureaucrat cannot remove another user's bureaucrat flags; only Wikia Staff can do that. However, a bureaucrat could remove another bureaucrat's sysop flags, but that would be pointless because the other bureaucrat could just add them back without difficulty.
 * Yes, sysops can block anyone (including themselves). But, bureaucrats also have access to the block tool even if they're blocked, so it would only take them a few seconds to unblock themselves. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 17:45, June 26, 2014 (UTC)
