Not that good...
Its not really going so good. My sister got hurt yesterday, so ive been sitting at the hospital for 8 hours. And you? BobNewbie talk • blog 15:47, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks so much. Some idiot tried to strangle her on the playground. She we so shocked. I'm also a bit cranky becuase I hate hospitals. Sitting in them for 8 hours is the worst!!! BobNewbie talk • blog 15:55, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the support. I needed it. Anyway, i'm gonna try to get some sleep for half an hour. Bye! BobNewbie talk • blog 15:59, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

Look
Look GG, you were right. If you know you were, why are you still getting angry at me? Is it because you just don't like me and don't give me a chance to even associate with you? Or is it just my ways. By the way, you only use the revert button for vandal edits, if the edits isn't considered vandilism, than give a reason for the revert of the edits. Thanks for understanding. 21:36, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Impulsive
I have noticed that, especially when working with Auror, you tend to jump to conclusions about her behavior rather quickly. That causes Auror to become defensive because she's worried about getting banned by the admins, which causes her to lash out at you, creating an incident. I may be wrong here, but that's how I see it. Personally, in my observing her recent behavior I have not seen anything out of line in how she has acted. She's not a bad person and we need to let go of things she may have done in the past. As far as I am concerned, she should not be afraid of a ban from me, as she has proven to me that she has learned her lesson and has become a very constructive contributor here. I would encourage you to let go of her past actions as well, since I think that has a lot to do with your impulsive reactions. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 20:25, November 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know about that... I've seen responses from her, but to what extent I am not sure. Keep in mind that not all actions require a discussion, so it could be that she just doesn't think an action needs to be discussed. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 20:36, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

Warning
Hey Guilherme. I just want to give you a friendly regular-user warning. Stop. Ive seen you trying to contact Auror a lot, even on other wikis. She either did not get the message, or is ignoring you. Either way, you should stop concerning yourself with Auror, and if you feel you should, report it to a admin. This is the 2nd/3rd/4th time. Do not continue, or a admin will stop this. I would hate to see you get blocked. Ok? BobNewbie talk • blog 12:41, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

When you're in a hole ...
... stop digging. Seriously, you do need to back off, and stop pushing Auror for responses. About all it seems to do is increase the friction between you two.

FWIW, the little green notices Oasis uses can be easier to overlook than Monaco's new-message notifications were. I wouldn't be too surprised if some people have gotten into the habit of ignoring them or reflexively dismissing them without really looking at them. Dharden (talk) 17:08, November 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * I didn't say you were being rude or mean, and I didn't see this as a reprimand. I understand what you're trying to do. There's nothing wrong with what you're trying to do. It's just that the way you've been trying to do it doesn't seem to be working very well, and may have become an issue of its own. Dharden (talk) 21:56, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hello there
Hello GG. I see the former messages have told you to stop contacting me. Well, ignore them. You can message me all you want, and I will eventually answer. I just don't notice the Oasis messages at the bottom of the screen. It's just easier to overlook them like Dharden said. If you have any more issues that you'd like to talk about, I'll be glad to comply and answer them. 02:20, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Glabe Curious
I'm not sure what term would apply. Step-parent/step-child relationships imply that the step-parent married into the relationship, so Lola and Chloe can be considered as Kitty's step-daughters, but not Glabe's. Likewise, they weren't adopted, at least, not according to the in-game sense of the term, so the "adoptive" tag doesn't really fit, either. Dharden (talk) 21:20, November 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, you are - at least as I understand the terms. "Lived with" doesn't matter. If the father of someone who is an adult with his own home re-marries, his father's new wife is still his step-mother. Glarn was married to Glabe when the twins were born, so she did not marry into a relationship with them. Step-parent/step-child relationships imply that the children were products of a previous relationship, and that's not the case here. Dharden (talk) 22:03, November 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ive been good thanks for asking. Vacation is starting in 4 days :). She got discharged from the hospital yesterday but has been sleeping since then. BobNewbie talk •  blog 11:34, November 27, 2010 (UTC)

Capitalization
For the most part, only proper nouns/names should be capitalized. Please use Wikipedia:Manual of Style as a guideline for naming articles and categories. Thanks. --a_morris (talk) 02:52, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Grammar: Parallel Structure
Hello! Just wanted to let you know why I corrected "... he has pale green skin, grey hair and is barefoot." It's a grammatical rule in English called parallel structure. You can read more about it here:

http://128.210.82.236/owl/resource/623/01/

"He has pale green skin, grey hair and is barefoot" is incorrect because it does not have parallel structure. To fix it, you could change it to:

"He has pale green skin, grey hair, and bare feet."

This would follow the form, He has: object 1, object 2, and object 3.

The original sentence was incorrect because it follows the form, He has: object 1, object 2, and [different verb, is]. You've change the verb from has to is, in the middle of the series.

Parallel structure is kind of hard to explain, but can you see it? :)

Street shizzarks 12:59, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

No worries! I see that English isn't your first language, and this is a bit of a tricky rule that is often overlooked in casual writing. :) Street shizzarks 13:16, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Oh yeah, I think it's fine. Actually, it's really good considering that you're 14! But of course, if a language isn't your native one, you can expect to be corrected once in a while. I think that for anyone, learning another language involves a neverending process of improvement... it takes years and years to become as proficient as a native speaker. I'm also learning another language right now and living in a foreign country. And believe me, it's so frustrating not to be able to sound as articulate as I do in English! So I know what that's like. You just have to keep writing and talking a lot, and people are going to keep correcting you, but that's how you get better.

Of course I still make plenty of mistakes as well, even in my own language, so I appreciate it when people point out my errors. I enjoy languages and grammar, so I make a lot of small grammar edits on wikis. It's not a criticism of your writing; I just can't resist making tweaks here and there! :) Street shizzarks 14:22, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Harvey Mule or Harvey Mule
Can you confirm the spelling of this sims name for me? The article name is Harvey Mule but in the text you wrote "Harvey Mole". Thanks. --a_morris (talk) 16:12, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry I screw up, but Ricky Bailey is not a malman. I think I mistook him with Barrington Webb. Sorry again... JM9193 18:13, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

I just noticed... where are the lifetime wishes gone? On Margherita Savoy's or Delicia hoover's pages, for example, there is no mention about these wishes, but when editing the template in "Source" mode, they are noted just like any other information... Do you know why their don't appear on the page?

PS On the Brigdeport page, there is a mention of a townie named Justine Warren. Couldn't she be in fact the Social Worker? In french, the second female social worker is called Justine Derek, so I thought tat they could be the same Sim... Thanks... JM9193 18:40, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Featured Editor
You have been selected as The Sims Wiki's Featured Editor for December 2010! Congratulations on your many contributions to the wiki; please keep up the good work!

I've placed a header on your userpage telling of your achievement. Feel free to move it or remove it if you wish. On a personal note, you are fully deserving of F.E. and you've done so much to enrich the TSW community. I give you a heartfelt congratulations and thank you for all that you've done here.

 * Your grammar has improved from what I've noticed. Most of your mistakes are understandable because you're not a native speaker, but even if you don't say something correctly, it's still usually pretty easy to see what you mean. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 19:15, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

Great!
Sorry! I forgot to say congrats, so, CONGRATS! Anyway, the bad weather made us cancel our vaction. That means, excluding tommorow, i'm gonna be SUPER active, instead of inactive. I'm good, thanks for asking. Check out TSM wiki, I created the first community newsletter and I covered the entire Town Hall Event. You should watch the videos on the page, they are really cool!

Sem querer gastar o seu tempo! Você faz upload de muitas fotos! Sempre que vou checar as fotos novas, eu vejo que foram adicionadas por você. Eu achava que Ace Wilde era mulher! Eu nem sei fazer headshots, mas a maneira que eu ia fazê-los seria apertar PrintScreen e colocar no Paint, e depois de alguma forma pintar o fundo de branco ou preto. Então, se quiser responda, mas se quiser me despreze! Eu não ligo muito mesmo, porque tanto eu quanto você temos a userbox do traço Solitário (ou Loner, pelo idioma).

Your comment on 'Categories for Deletion' talk page
GG, I think you might be just slightly confused about what our policies allow and don't allow. There is no rule saying that a user can't call an article 'stupid,' especially if that user is lobbying for its deletion. The problems arise when profanity is used - words which you would not use around small children, and which are promptly removed when seen - or when a user takes to insulting or attacking another user, or uses language which is likely to do so. So, for example, calling something 'stupid' is in most cases OK, but calling something 'retarded' or 'gay' is not. Even in this situation, there is no written rule here that says a user can't use that language, but if it's accepted that the words do cause insult to some users, then they should be avoided.

I admit that describing which words are and are not acceptable is very difficult, especially if you aren't a native speaker of the language, as you can usually tell the intent of someone's words if you are completely familiar with the language. If ever in doubt about whether a message, edit or comment is out of line, ask one of the admins or a native English speaker here and we can help figure it out. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 18:21, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * "Stupid" when used on a person is insulting, but it more or less acceptable (but not preferred) when talking about other things. However, using words like "retarded" or "gay" are not acceptable, as there are groups of people (people with mental handicaps, and the LGBTQIA community) who are sometimes identified by those words. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 20:53, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's really hard to describe... people who have mental illnesses, severe mental or learning deficiencies. Things like Down Syndrome would fall into that category, but things like this are hardly black or white. In the US especially, these people are often called "Mentally Retarded" but the term has gone beyond that to mean one of insult - "retards" or to say that someone is retarded just as a synonym for stupid. --  LostInRiverview talk · blog 21:03, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Glabe Curious, again
I think it's implied by the album, but I don't know if it's ever been explicitly stated. It might be worth looking at her file in SimPE to see what - if anything - her memories show. Dharden (talk) 21:52, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

If you look just above the "Recent Wiki Activity" side-box, where it gives the number of articles, the create page button should be there. If it helps, it's Special:CreatePage, and you should be able to add it to My Tools. Dharden (talk) 18:55, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

 * Press the Print Screen key. (Sorry, I don't know what that'd be on your keyboard. BabelFish says Print Screen translates to Tela de cópia, but I have no idea if that'd be on a key.) Anyway, that copies the current screen to the clipboard. Open Paint, or some other graphics program, but Paint will do), and select Paste. That should paste the image into Paint. Save the image as a JPG or PNG, then upload it. Dharden (talk) 21:21, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

Usage
In a sentence like this: "What do you think about this image to neutral votes?", the word to use is "for", not "to". Dharden (talk) 14:51, December 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Not as many as you used to. I often see "to" instead of "for" or "with" in edits from people who aren't native speakers of English. For example, I've often seen "pregnant to". I see it often enough to assume that it's a translation issue, though I'm not sure what that might be. Dharden (talk) 15:18, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

Lists
Hi! About the lists you are creating, I just wondered if it wouldn't be more useful to sort them by neighborhood... For now, I think they are just duplicates of the NPC categories...

PS: there are two more Bridgeport townies who have no pages yet. Could you if you have enough time give me the names of these? In french they are called Champ Vard and Mikhail Starke (the last one has a ponytail). Thank you. JM9193 14:58, December 18, 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome!
Just like the headline says... You're very welcome! :) It's the main reason why I joined. Right now, I do not know how to work with the links and such, so I'm leaving that alone and sticking to the spelling and grammar. ^^;

I am not fluent in any language other than English. I am very well-versed in English grammar and spelling, though. There do appear to be some mistakes in your profile. Sadly, there is no way to be certain which mistakes on other pages were done by you or another Wikia user.

I really appreciate your help! You seem to be very well-informed about the Sims series. :)

There is nothing to be sorry about! You are understandable and competent! Several native English speakers are nearly illiterate when it comes to writing! You have made a milestone in learning English. As for your profile... I do not think I am allowed to edit it. It is understandable, though. That is important. ;)

Just figured out how to edit my post here properly... ^_^;

I will get around to it. I'm still in the process of editing individual pages of Sims from Bridgeport. I plan on jumping to Twinbrook afterward. I should be more helpful there since I've finally gotten the Ambitions expansion pack!

I've seen that you've gone and added or continued to edit pages I've done previously. Good job!
