==Allowing users to vote for their own nominations==
Should we allow users to vote for their own nominations? —[[User:Random Ranaun|<font color=green>Random Ranaun</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Random Ranaun|<font color=lime>Talk to me!</font>]])</small> 08:30, December 10, 2010 (UTC)

::Cowplant. --[[User:BobNewbie |<font color="green">BobNewbie </font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:BobNewbie |<font color="red ">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:BobNewbie |<font color="blue">blog</font>]]</sup> 21:19, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

==Tournament of Winners==
I put my "[[The_Sims_Wiki:Battles/Nominations#Tournament of Winners|tournament of winners]]" idea on the nominations page, but it doesn't seem like something to be voted for. I would like some opinions on the idea and how we will determine if it becomes a thing.--[[w:c:sims:User:Eduardog3000|Eduardog]][[User_Talk:Eduardog3000|3000]] <font face="Vladimir Script" size="6">Ed G</font> 22:40, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
*This wiki is definitely becoming inactive.--[[w:c:sims:User:Eduardog3000|Eduardog]][[User_Talk:Eduardog3000|3000]] <font face="Vladimir Script" size="6">Ed G</font> 19:41, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
::Just realized :p. Yeah, many Wiki members, from what I can see, are absent, but the Wiki isn't really becoming inactive. Anyhow, I don't really like the idea to be honest. I mean...with the triple battles, it's convinced me that The Sims Wiki battles should just stay one-on-one community chosen things, instead of us trying to do a lot of different things with it when we've barely "mastered" doing the basics. So no, I do not support the idea. --[[User:BobNewbie |<font color="green">'''Zombie''' </font>]]<sup>[[User_talk:BobNewbie |<font color="red ">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:BobNewbie |<font color="blue">blog</font>]]</sup> 10:31, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
:::While it IS an interesting idea, it's a bit odd putting two things who might not even be connected in any way up against each other. And, let's face it, the 3-way battle went badly. I say we just keep it how it is now. --'''[[User:Woganhemlock|<font face="Trebuchet MS" color="black">W</font>]][[User_blog:Woganhemlock|<font color="orange">H</font>]] <sup>[[User_talk:Woganhemlock|<font color="grey">(Talk)</font>]]</sup>''' 10:37, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
::::Plus, this could negatively effect the battles. One, it could take a looooooong time before new user-nominated battles are restarted, and if we give less time, less people will vote, and in the end, lose interest in the battles completely. --[[User:BobNewbie |<font color="green">'''Zombie''' </font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:BobNewbie |<font color="red ">talk</font>]] • [[User_blog:BobNewbie |<font color="blue">blog</font>]]</sup> 11:04, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
==Suggestion....==
I want to sugggest something. Will you like the idea the Nomination page to be made like Featured Media/voting page? '''[[User:Alex9400|Alex9400]] | [[User talk:Alex9400|TALK]] with me. I ♥ ♦³ :-)''' 08:48, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
:IMO, I like the way it is now. I don't forbid you to do so, but I prefer each featured page is unique on their own. [[User:Nikel23|'''<span style="color:#007FFF; text-shadow: #ACE5EE 0 4px 4px;">Nikel</span>''']] [[User talk:Nikel23|<span style="color: #30D5C8 ; text-shadow: #00FFEF 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Talk''</sub></span>]] 09:16, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
== An Idea ==
If a Nomination has no votes for a while shouldn't we get rid of it to make the page less cluttered [[User:Xxgreenbunnyxx|Xxgreenbunnyxx]] ([[User talk:Xxgreenbunnyxx|talk]]) 16:48, July 10, 2012 (UTC)
:I'm not surprised with that, but since new nominations are added at the bottom of the page, I think only if the topmost nomination has no votes, then it'll be removed. Also, I think we should add more now.

==Layout==
It would be nice if we could improve the layout a bit. Maybe make each nomination title bolder or bigger. Or just do something so that the text is easier to read, maybe separate each nomination a bit more. If you know what I mean. -- '''[[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>]]) 00:48, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
:Yeah, the layout has been cluttered for a long time. I'm not sure what kind of layout is best to tidy this up. [[User:Nikel23|'''<span style="color:#007FFF; text-shadow: #ACE5EE 0 4px 4px;">Nikel</span>''']] [[User talk:Nikel23|<span style="color: #30D5C8 ; text-shadow: #00FFEF 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Talk''</sub></span>]] <sub>–</sub> [[The Sims Wiki:Featured Media/Voting|<span style="color:red ; text-shadow:#E97451 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Vote!''</sub></span>]] 18:14, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
::I've improved the layout. I should have mentioned this months ago. -- '''[[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>]]) 03:18, August 17, 2014 (UTC)
==Number of Battles in a given length of time==
By the looks of things, we seem to be having battles every week, not every two weeks. If that is the case, then I will probably change the statement sooner or later. -- '''[[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>]]) 05:19, February 19, 2014 (UTC)
:Hm. Guess I should learn to read more carefully. Should we keep it at 1 week or the original 2 weeks? '''[[:User:K6ka|K6ka]]''' ([[:User talk:K6ka|talk]] | [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka|contribs]]) 12:09, February 19, 2014 (UTC)
::I'd say one week. -- '''[[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>]]) 04:38, February 20, 2014 (UTC)
:::Battles had always been 2-week long. I wasn't aware if the length was changed at some point. A discussion had decided that we use a 2-week long duration for a battle. Unless it's officially stated, we shouldn't change the duration and follow the guidelines. [[User:Nikel23|'''<span style="color:#007FFF; text-shadow: #ACE5EE 0 4px 4px;">Nikel</span>''']] [[User talk:Nikel23|<span style="color: #30D5C8 ; text-shadow: #00FFEF 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Talk''</sub></span>]] <sub>–</sub> [[The Sims Wiki:Featured Media/Voting|<span style="color:red ; text-shadow:#E97451 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Vote!''</sub></span>]] 14:42, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
::::Sure, for the next battle I'll try to remember to set the timer at two weeks. '''[[:User:K6ka|K6ka]]''' ([[:User talk:K6ka|talk]] | [[:Special:Contributions/K6ka|contribs]]) 16:53, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, I just wouldn't want there to be a considerable gap between the expire date and when the winner is declared. Because if the timer expires but no one has confirmed the winner then other people may try and continue voting. I know that it has happened at least once. -- '''[[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>]]) 19:35, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
::::::Usually, right after the timer expires, the battle is archived without the winner announced. It's actually announced while it's being archived, so there's no formal announcement for the winner. The battle keeps continuing for the next one.
::::::As for the gap, it wasn't really intentional. Usually RR or Auror took care of the battles. Maybe they were busy and unable to update the battles timely. I knew you've notified us about this including me, but I was busy at that time too, so I apologize for that. I'm thankful that K6ka is willing to update the battles. :) [[User:Nikel23|'''<span style="color:#007FFF; text-shadow: #ACE5EE 0 4px 4px;">Nikel</span>''']] [[User talk:Nikel23|<span style="color: #30D5C8 ; text-shadow: #00FFEF 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Talk''</sub></span>]] <sub>–</sub> [[The Sims Wiki:Featured Media/Voting|<span style="color:red ; text-shadow:#E97451 0 4px 4px;"><sub>''Vote!''</sub></span>]] 13:37, March 2, 2014 (UTC)
