Adding headshots to Sim articles
When adding a headshot to a Sim's article that is missing one, please put it in the "image" section of the infobox template. It should look something like this:

|image    =

Bored? Come chat!
Hey! If you're bored or looking for something to do, you should stop by the Sims Wiki IRC Channel. We're trying to generate as much interest as we can in it, since it often sits unused. Anyways, there's some people there at the moment, so if you want to stop by and chat, that would be great! See you around! -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 22:47, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Fanon & Player Stories
I see you marked Mary-Jane Ronowles/Player stories for deletion. While 'fanon' is not allowed on The Sims Wiki player stories are, as long as they're kept in the 'Player Stories' sub-pages. Out front page has the following information:

With the exception of the player stories feature, fanon is not allowed on The Sims Wiki. I removed your nomination from the page. If you have any further questions about this message or this wiki, you're welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Duskey ( talk ) 13:58, July 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually I think the mistake is mine. There is no Sim called Mary-Jane Ronowles. I apologize. I will delete the page. Duskey ( talk ) 14:27, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Eva Drudge hair quetion
No, that was anon user 98.228.48.158. I just spellchecked it and reworded it to be less clunky. Dharden (talk) 19:04, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Downtown cemetery in Late Night
At this point, it's best to limit posting about what will be in Late Night to things that have been definitely stated, with sources that can be linked to. You're probably right that there probably will be a cemetery; but if that's all you have at the moment, it's best to not say anything. Hold off on posting about a Downtown cemetery until there's some definite information to pint to, OK? Dharden (talk) 23:42, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your images
When you upload images, remember to add licensing information and out them in the correct category. See File:Headshot largeMelissaSpitzig..png as an exmaple. Good work! If you have any further questions about this message or this wiki, you're welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Duskey ( talk ) 12:45, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Moodlet_icon_smiley_shocked_surprised.png I see you added more images, but without licensing and categories. It must have been late :p Duskey ( talk ) 14:14, July 24, 2010 (UTC)

A note
Could you please spellcheck your contributions? And the format you're using for townies' personalities looks a bit messy. I don't really see the point of adding that information myself. What use would it be other than in a very limited set of circumstances? --Aaaaannooooo!!! 13:30, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks very much. --Aaaaannooooo!!! 13:40, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Please clarify this
From the Morgana Wolff article: "Morgana is shown as very workwoman". I cleaned up the English as well as I could, but I have no idea what "very workwoman" is supposed to mean. Dharden (talk) 14:13, July 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * The next time I leave something out that I meant to put in won't be the first. Dharden (talk) 14:24, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Nuthatch?
If you're going to have a category for "Sims with a nuthatch", it would be useful to tell what a nuthatch is. The only definitions I can find say that a nuthatch is a type of bird, and I doubt that's what you mean. Dharden (talk) 18:17, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

"Category:Repairmans/womans"
It's "Repairmen/women". Moving or renaming categories doesn't seem to be possible, so I'm going to delete it. Dharden (talk) 14:16, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Someone else has created a category called "Repairmen". Use it, OK? Dharden (talk) 15:25, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

92.0.112.152
I think the reason Player Stories templates keep getting deleted or pushed down the page is that many people don't realize what they are. They use the rich-text editor, so all they see is a green puzzle piece that doesn't really say what it is or what it's for. So, I don't think that's vandalism, but new-user fumbling. Thanks for being on top of it, though.

Duskey and I each left notes on the IP's talk page, but there's been no response, so I don't know if they've seen them. Dharden (talk) 19:48, August 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * They cleared content again with the Sandra Roth player stories page, and have been officially warned. I am less inclined to think of their actions as new-user fumbling. Dharden (talk) 22:12, August 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * General policy is not to block IPs for too long because they can be used by more than one person -- but if he or she offends again, I will block. Dharden (talk) 22:32, August 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I gave them a 3-day block. I also set the article back to the way it was before their edit, and re-added their story. Dharden (talk) 14:27, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Hi Duskey
I have no idea. I only know what's already in the Late Night article. Duskey ( talk ) 19:53, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Neighborhood
I did a little bit of searching, and according to a piece I found at GameSpot, the name "Bridgeport" is real. I added the link to Neighborhood as a reference. Dharden (talk) 21:19, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

Image categories
About the recent addition of categories to a Late Night image: There's no need to put all images into Category:Images since we have Special:ListFiles for that. Also the category Category:Images of Sims is only used if there's no sub-category to put it in. It might also be premature to put it in Category:Images of Sims 3 Sims since we don't know if she will be an actual Sim in Late Night. There will be a Category: Images of Late Night Sims when we're certain which Sims will be included. Duskey ( talk ) 09:02, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Downtown/ Bridgeport
No, I don't think we should merge them since Downtown is a sub-neighborhood in The Sims and The Sims 2, but Bridgeport is a full neighborhood. Duskey ( talk ) 09:24, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re: New category
Sounds like a good idea. Be sure to put it in Category:Sims by appearance. Duskey ( talk ) 09:55, August 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Moodlet_stylin_no_frame.png To be honest, I don't visit Sims pages much, but I'll be sure to add it if I come across one without it. Picture related; she's got glasses on :p Duskey ( talk ) 14:19, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

It was too poorly written to clean up -- at least until the coffee kicks in all the way. Dharden (talk) 12:40, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Maid Article
It may not be possible to make a Sim into an NPC maid, but it's always been possible to treat a playable Sim as a "live-in" maid. It's not necessarily easy, but it's possible. Dharden (talk) 12:44, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

Application for Administrator
Hi G.G. I'm glad that you're showing interest in an admin position. Unfortunately, as you may not have been aware, the wiki is currently closed to requests for new sysops. I don't know if that will automatically disqualify your application, or if a morris will just wait to review it until after requests are accepted again. If you end up being denied because new requests aren't being accepted, I encourage you to re-apply if/when the requests page is back open. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 19:37, August 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I've been an administrator since early July of this year. A morris is really the only active bureaucrat, and so she's really the one that decides when or when not to accept new admins. If you're interested, you might consider asking her when she'll be willing to accept new requests. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 20:27, August 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've moved your request to Requests for rollback since you'll need to be a rollback user before becoming an admin. Glad to see your application. Duskey ( talk ) 02:54, August 24, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Curiously
I don't know, I haven't spoken to any of them, I'm guessing they got tired of the game or the wiki or both. Duskey ( talk ) 07:44, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Question
As I've written on The Sims Wiki:Requests for rollback I would love to have you as a rollback user, which is now a prerequisite for becoming an admin. As you may know A morris is away at the moment, but will return in a few days. She is the only active bureaucrat and only they can promote and demote users. I will remind her to have a look at requests when she returns. Duskey ( talk ) 13:36, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Protuding teeth
Did you mean download? I would edit it myself, but not sure if you mean download or if it's just some gibberish :p Duskey ( talk ) 21:12, August 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * No your grammar is fine, it was just a type, but wasn't sure what you meant, no harm done. Someone else already edited it. Duskey ( talk ) 21:26, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Grammar Mistakes
Well, you can't be that bad at English... at least you spelled 'grammar' correctly! So many people think it's spelled "grammer." -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 22:21, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * No... 'Grammar' is the correct spelling, and that's the spelling you used. -- Patrick (LostInRiverview) (talk)(blog)(random page) 22:29, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Danny Monster user page
It's not a warning, it's just a message he added to his own user page. I don't know why he thinks she "needs" to return, she's just been on a vacation for a few days that is all. Even though Monster is a sysop, he cannot block a bureaucrat so don't worry. Duskey ( talk ) 11:35, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * The first countdown is a ETA(estimated time of arrival)The Second one is the time she said she would be back.-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 11:46, August 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * a morris is NOT inactive, she has merely been absent for about a week to go on vacation. Monster's comments on the request page is merely him trying to hurry up the process of adopting a new set of rules for becoming a bureaucrat. Note that these rules have not been finalized and until then, sysops can not request to become a bureaucrat. Duskey ( talk ) 11:52, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Rollback
She just returned from a vacation and there's many messages she has to go through, she's probably tired as well. Your request will be looked at when she has the time I'm sure. Duskey ( talk ) 17:50, August 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * No worries. Btw, I "fixed" the absent template on your user page, hope you don't mind. Duskey ( talk ) 17:54, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Merging tattoo Artist
No, let's wait with that. A wiki is not a democrazy. We like it better if we can discuss things and come to some sort of solution. Some people are against, some are for and sometimes we can reach a compromise. Votes are only used if there's good arguments on both sides and none of them will budge. Duskey ( talk ) 19:42, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Grats on become a rollback user! Duskey ( talk ) 21:01, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think you missed much, but try taking a look in The Sims Wiki talk:Community Portal, stuff's always going on there. Duskey ( talk ) 21:03, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Era template
You should check out Template talk:Era before adding that template to everything. As you can see the icons do not look pretty where they are and they're too big and adding the era template to all our articles is a LOT of work. It also breaks if a sitenotice is up, so don't add it to more articles until we fix the kinks. Duskey ( talk ) 22:44, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. At the moment the icons it places on the right side of the screen are too big and "clip" into the horizontal line. Until now we've only used the template to mark featured articles and protected pages, which is fine since that only leaves a small star or padlock on the page, but these newly added icons are stil too big.
 * Also, if we add them on a few pages, it means we'll have to add them to all pages in order to be consistent, which means ALL articles will need the era template, depending on which game they're about. It's a nice addition, but with over 5,000 articles, it'll be quite a lot of work. Therefor we'll need alot of editors to do it, but not enough people are aware of the template.
 * Lastly, the template is not very good. If you see the screenshot I added, you can see that whenever we add a sitenotice, which is a message seen at the top of the wiki on all pages, the icons aren't moved down with the rest of the page, meaning they'll just float in mid-air.
 * We'll need to adress all these issues before we can implement the era template fully. I hope this helped clear up the confusion. Duskey ( talk ) 23:05, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Admin Requests ?
There's a list of minimum requirements on The Sims Wiki:Requests for administratorship though it may be a bit old. Admin requests are unfortunately closed at the moment and we're discussing whether they should be open again. Duskey ( talk ) 14:08, September 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, the only thing an admin has over a regular editor are some small buttons, such as 'rollback' (which rollback users also have) 'delete' and 'move file' (normal editors can move articles, but not files). Perhaps you should be on the lookout for vandalism and spam, to test the rollback button, though we do not get it often. You can also try the rollback button in our The Sims Wiki:Sandbox to see how it works.
 * If you're worried about your spelling, try to improve your english either by having a dictionary handy or looking up words you don't know the spelling to on the net. Using the preview button and re-reading your post, checking for errors is always a good idea, even for small and trivial posts.
 * you can probably right click, then click check spelling-- Danny (Monster2821) (talk)(random page) 15:05, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Archiving
Hi GG (can I call you GG?) I see you recently cleaned up your talk page. You should create an archive instead. See Help:Archiving talk pages. Archiving talk pages is great 'cause you can find old discussions there. The Sims Wiki uses Template:Archive and Template:Archive navigation for them. You don't HAVE to, it's just a good idea so you won't ever loose some information. Duskey ( talk ) 20:21, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure. You simply cut the text you want to archive from your talk page and paste it on a new page eg.  and place Template:Archive at the top of the new page to let people know they shouldn't be editing it. Then you place Template:Archive navigation at the top of this talk page with the first parameter as a link to the new archive page eg.  . I hope this explains it a bit better. You can always check my talk page and archives to see how I did it. Duskey ( talk ) 20:13, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Molly French
Why did you undo my edit to Molly French? Her in-game preferences do not appear match the speculation in the article, however her relationships may work out. I do not wish to get involved in an edit-war over this, but you could have at least given a reason for the reversion. --vom 11:23, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh ! I thought better and I will delete that information and put your edit, I deleted you're edit because in my game I found her allways with lesbian and heterosexual relationships, but that may not happen in all games so thanks, I will delete that ! Continue you're good Work =) Guilherme Guerreiro 11:27, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * No problem, looks like it was just a miscommunication then! I found this out using the NRaas Master Controller package, which can dig out some of the information that e.g. SimPe would do in Sims 2. According to Master Controller (I can't vouch for its accuracy, but have no reason to believe it isn't reliable) her preferences are 1000 male/-1000 female, which seems to be normal for heterosexual sims as far as I can see; though as the game progresses this can change depending on how their relationships develop and who with. A casual browse through the neighbourhood suggests most have prefs of 0/0 for male/female respectively, which I found surprising, so it's possible that this figure isn't quite as significant as I'd thought anyway! Cheers. :) --vom 11:35, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry but what is the master controller? Thanks vey much ;)Guilherme Guerreiro 11:40, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's an add-on package that adds a means of querying and changing all manner of information about characters and other objects in game; it adds a new menu option when left-clicking on the thing in question. It's really rather handy for those of us who can't resist tinkering! You can find it here - download links for both the package and its documentation are at the bottom of the first post. --vom 11:51, September 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * But is this for The Sims 3 or 2, can we edit gender preference or name or family tree it is just like a SimPE? Thanks


 * It's for Sims 3, and it does allow you to change preferences, names, traits and pretty much everything else. Personally I'm just interested in prying, but those of a more creative disposition can be pretty much as creative as they like! --vom 19:25, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Can You fix
The problem appears to be that the redirects to the proper image aren't redirecting when the page loads, but only when the link is clicked. Dharden (talk) 12:31, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Images?
Don't worry, I will add the images later. I effectively have simPE (if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to know the english names of the Sims, since I play the french version), and I'll be glad to add as many headshots as I can. I just sometimes forget about it...

Speaking of headshots, I observed that you often uploaded mant headshots of Sims 3 Sims (the ones like Bessie Biller's, for example). I just wondered if you could tell me how you took them, since I'm unable to take them myself. These are of a way better quality than mines. Thanks, JM9193 20:30, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

I understood it very well, however I have some trouble to upload the one of Marigold: I try to remplace my old one with the new one, but the old one is remaining. I tried several times, but it never worked. Sorry.JM9193 14:49, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
