==Request for interpretation of consensus==
[[Forum:Term to describe "regular" Sims|This forum thread]] has been sitting open for several months, and has gone two months without any new additions to it. Due to a conflict of interest I cannot call consensus for this one way or the other, so I would like another administrator or 'crat (preferably neutral) to determine whether a consensus has been reached and to state the outcome of the thread or, if consensus is not reached, to determine a proper course of action. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 07:27, June 21, 2014 (UTC){{Closed|nlr|Thread has been moved to a vote, so interpretation of consensus is no longer required.

== [[User:TheSims23|TheSims23]] ==
{{Closed|res|For some unexplainable reason, TheSims23 has been unblocked.

[[User:TheSims23|TheSims23]] is currently globally blocked, for reasons unknown. As we have done with [[User:AsherÉire|AsherÉire]] and other indeffed admins, a bureaucrat should de-sysop the user. They may ask for the mop again should they become unblocked. --I am [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 18:11, January 3, 2015 (UTC)
:This user has contributed almost nothing since May last year.

::I've removed her adminship for the time being. Something else to note of interest is that her account is "globally blocked" while AsherEire's is listed as "globally disabled" with a different template. {{WHsig|23:04, January 3, 2015 (UTC)}}
:::Hmm, interesting. Accounts can be disabled on user request or by Wikia's discretion, and can't be re-enabled after 30 days of being disabled, while a global block is involuntary, usually used for Terms of Use violations, and can be lifted if the matter is discussed with Wikia and they happen to agree to it.
:::I'm wondering what exactly happened here.... --I am [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 23:12, January 3, 2015 (UTC)
::::Apparently if she were free to re-request for her admin rights to be reinstated, then she'd have to have her rollback rights automatically reinstated first. TheSims23 had rollback rights prior to requesting admin-ship, and when her admin rights were revoked, her rollback rights were not reinstated. Thus she would not be eligible for re-requesting admin-ship, unless a bureaucrat gave her back her rollback rights. -- '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 02:41, January 30, 2015 (UTC)
:::::While this discussion is closed I'll just say that there is nothing that forces admins to keep rollback after retirement and that she wouldn't be eligible for reinstatement due to activity, and nothing says an admin can't be reinstated due to forgoing the right to rollback after retirement. {{WHsig|02:54, January 30, 2015 (UTC)}}

==Community discussions need to be resolved==
{{Closed|res|All threads closed at last! --I am [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 11:56, March 6, 2015 (UTC)}}
We have several open [[Forum:Community discussions|community discussion threads]] that are in need of moderation, prompting or archival. Because I am an active party in most of these discussions, I feel it would not be proper for me to address the issues. Can some other administrators help in resolving these threads?
The threads I'm specifically referring to are:
*<s>[[Forum:Wiki theme redesign]]</s>
*<s>[[Forum:Alternate universe]]</s>
*<s>[[Forum:Social media representatives]]</s>
*<s>[[Forum:Organization for TS4 timeline]]</s>
*<s>[[Forum:Amendment to voting policies]]</s>
Any administrator who wants to take up the task of addressing these threads should consider first, whether the thread has reached a natural consensus or not. If so, the thread should be closed and the consensus adopted. If not, the admin should consider whether a vote might be in order, and then determine how to best structure that vote. If a consensus isn't reached and a vote would not be appropriate, an administrator should consider closing the thread and marking it as not resolved. Or, if a thread is not resolved but does not seem to have reached an impasse, a simple thread bump might be appropriate (to attempt to jump-start the discussion). -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 19:07, October 20, 2014 (UTC)

== Edith Lawson.jpg==
{{closed|resolved}}
This image has been in the gallery of the page [[Edith Lawson]] for a really long time, but earlier today, I found that this is actually an image instead, of another hobby instructor [[Noelle Dennis]].
So basically this image now needs to be re-named to "Noelle Dennis in-game" or something similar. Apparently there already is a jpeg image named "Noelle Dennis". -- '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 03:36, March 22, 2015 (UTC)

Hello administrators.
Last night, {{t|Metabox}} was recently updated to match with the wiki's new theme, after being developed at {{t|Metabox2}}. ''Please do not delete Metabox2, as it is needed to credit the authors!''
What we do need are eyes to keep a lookout for bugs with the new template. We can't expect templates to be 100% flawless, just good enough for them to be used in most obvious circumstances. If you do see a bug, leave it at [[Forum:New_Metabox_development#Bug_reports]].
