Two users on The Sims Wiki have engaged in an edit war regarding the addition of certain images to canon articles on the wiki. This thread is intended to settle the underlying issue in the disagreement between these two users. No "punishments" will be issued to either user for actions that have already taken place; this discussion should be as open and non-hostile as possible.

Mate1234 uploaded several images to the wiki and added them to Darleen Dreamer, Skip Broke and Michael Bachelor. Random Ranaun Removed the images on the ground that they appeared to be fanon images, not canon. Mate and RR went back and forth afterwards, adding and removing the images.

This thread is intended to hear both users opinions, and to reach a mutually-acceptable solution, or else to build a community consensus towards a solution to this issue.

I encourage Mate1234 and Random Ranaun to weigh in with their sides of this issue. - LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 22:02, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Generally, I don't support non-canon images being added to the articles for deceased Sims. However, if it's an image of the Sim after actually being resurrected and not just remade by the player then I think it's okay. For this case specifically, I don't know how I feel. In 2 out of 3 of the photos the Sims aren't facing the camera so it's difficult to tell who they are anyway. --Bleeh(talk) (blog) 23:20, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
