Nectar Making
I disagree with the creation of an article named "Nectar making". I really think that the redirection to the article nectar is enough. Sincerely, salutations.

Spotlight
Hello, I'm Miss Sophie   (talk) ! I am fond of your wiki and I would like to nominate it for a spotlight. However, I need your confirmation before nominating it. You could also nominate The Sims Wiki by yourself here. Miss Sophie  (talk)  18:19, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * I nominated The Sims Wiki for a spotlight! Miss Sophie   (talk)  12:46, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

If you can't finish, creating stubs and links help. Someone else might see it and be able to fill in the gaps. --a_morris (talk) 03:03, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Side Menu
Featured users is randomly generated and not necessarily administrators. A link to a list of administrators is under "Administration & Maintenance". What about moving it to "Community"? --a_morris (talk) 02:38, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Main Page News

 * The news on the home page does not automatically update. The template is News for The Sims news and WikiNews for wiki news. Feel free to update them. I have been considering changing the wiki news format to use the blogging feature, I have already started a blog listing, Blog:The Sims Wiki News. And we can display the RSS feed from TheSims3.com. What do you think? --a_morris (talk) 14:26, February 3, 2010 (UTC)

Custom content Sims
Try looking in the Premade Sims in CAS. --a_morris (talk) 15:49, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

There is a Storytelling folder under each neighborhood as well as the main folder. --a_morris (talk) 01:25, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Pages where template include size is exceeded

 * Archives are not created automatically. You can cut and paste the content to a sub page of your talk page. You can use the code at the top of my page to link them. --a_morris (talk) 15:12, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Checking memories for Malcolm Landgraab
I believe "check" means to go into SimPE or your game and check that the memories are the same as on the list. You can then tell an admin if they are the same or not (if not list the differences) and the admin can edit the page. I'm not going to unprotect it because pages usually don't get protected for no reason. Bleeh [ iTalk  ] 02:06, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

OH! Okay! I'll do it right now! Thanks Bleeh! A.P. Freeman 02:12, February 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * It doesn't exactly seem to be unusual for a pre-made Sim to be missing a few memories. As for the details of the edit war that led to the page being protected, I'm not sure they aren't both right - for different installs. I recently reinstalled on a new computer, and before I dropped my played neighborhood back in, I checked his memories in-game. I saw the truncated list that Thelamppost used, but did not think to check before applying the OfB patch. I don't know if that made a difference, but I also don't know that it didn't.

Expanding talkboxes
--a_morris (talk) 14:09, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Talkbox images are just images. For a specific style you should talk to the person who made them.
 * 2) Anyone can upload an image and place it in Category:Talkbox images and display it on The Sims Wiki:Talkboxes.

Advertisements
Hey A Morris! I was just wondering if you have any ideas how I could attract more attention to DavidMC123 and I's contest. Right now we have 4 entries, but luckily we still have a little less than 2 weeks until entries are no longer being taken. I've already advertised on several people's talk pages, which hasn't been working yet, and on the forum on The Sims 3 site. Since the logo contest was so successful I was just wondering if you had any tips. Thanks! Bleeh [ iTalk  ] 02:10, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Admin Request
Thank you A morris! -- Walker guy94 15:12, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

This user is trying to change the language of the articles in this wiki to dutch. Maybe you should block him right away. -- Walker guy94 11:28, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I blocked him for 2 hours. Bleeh  [ iTalk  ] 15:11, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Community Director
Hey A Morris! I was just going through the requests for adminship to check to see if anybody has become something (rollback, admin, etc.). I noticed that the wiki is in need of a "Community Director", and I would like to take that on, it's just I'm not sure if I can make a request because I'm already an admin. Bleeh [ Chat  ] 01:07, February 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Do I need to request it at the requests for adminship page or do I just become it? Haha. Also, I was wondering if in "The Sims Wiki News" if I could put something about the ugly Sim contest? We seriously need more entries, haha. Bleeh  [ Chat  ] 01:37, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Magic wands are very useful, aren't they? Haha. Bleeh  [ Chat  ] 01:51, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * It looks pretty good to me, so I'm not sure how we can change it. I'll have to think about it and get back to you once I get an idea (tomorrow probably). Bleeh  [ Chat  ] 02:12, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Changing Username
Hi, I want to ask you a question : Is it possible to change username in the Wikia Community? Thanks for answering my question Walker guy94  [ MyTalk  ] 05:09, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, but I'm not going to change my username, I'm just asking. Walker guy94 [ MyTalk  ] 00:29, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Warning Templates
I was just searching The Kingdom of Hearts Wiki and noticed they have a warning template. It seems like a good idea, and I was wondering if I'd have permission to make one. I already know how to (stole the thing from the Kingdom of Hearts Wiki :D), and like I said before, it seems like a good idea. What do you think?  Bleeh  Lions make you brave, giants give you faith...♥ 01:57, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's a good idea. There are some examples on Wikipedia as well. --a_morris (talk) 02:28, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll go through the Wikipedia ones, and I'll pick one I like :D. We should have rules on who should use them. I think only admins, and anything under that can just leave messages, so nobody gets a warning for no reason.  Bleeh  Lions make you brave, giants give you faith...♥ 02:30, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have finished the template. What do you think? I want to find a better picture, I'm just not sure what to use. I think there should be a picture of a zombie, vampire, werewolf, or cowplant. I'll start giving one of them a white background. What do you think?  Bleeh  Lions make you brave, giants give you faith...♥ 02:45, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * The image should definitely be something less fatalistic. We want them to improve their editing not give up. This would be a good image for praising someone. Maybe an image of Liam, Marcela or Dudley for the warning template. --a_morris (talk) 03:03, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I have used the one of Marcela. I agree that that picture was pretty intense, and I think it looks better now, but I'd like your opinion on how the template looks. What do you think?  Bleeh  Lions make you brave, giants give you faith...♥ 03:13, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I prefer the phrases used by Wikipedia. Here is the text for a level 2 warning:
 * Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
 * We can keep the reason and add the part about being blocked. --a_morris (talk) 03:30, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, that's a good idea. I'll add that, information about being blocked, remove Wikipedia and replace it with The Sims Wiki, and a link to the sandbox.  Bleeh  Lions make you brave, giants give you faith...♥ 03:38, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Desperate

 * Add **#topusers#|Featured users and **Wiki name:Administrators|Administrators if it's in another category (Community for example). If it's it's own category, add *#topusers#|Featured users and *Wiki name:Administrators|Administrators .  Bleeh  Lions make you brave, giants give you faith...♥ 02:16, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Warning Templates
Actually, I disagree with that. Someone who does serious vandalism should be blocked without warning. Giving them a warning will only encourage them to do more vandalism. --a_morris (talk) 23:46, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Hi, remember me, I asked you if that sims 3 expansion pack i found was real, well I have another thing for you to look at, I personally think its fake it looks like it is a screen shot from Microsoft Word or something, but I wanted someone else's opinion: Dentface 19:31, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

Userbox templates
Hello! I just made some userbox template things. You can see them here, here, here, and here. I was wondering if I made them correctly (format, width, length, etc.). Thanks!  Bleeh  Lions make you brave, giants give you faith...♥ 03:31, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
