::Any user could nominate an item but there would be a limited number of articles that could be nominated. Although anyone could discuss the quality of an article, only an administrator would assign the article a rating. Yes, the criteria should be consistent with the MoS, though it does need updating. I've also been looking at how Wikipedia does it. --[[User:A_morris|a_morris]] <small>([[User_talk:A_morris|talk]])</small> 22:07, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
:::I like that idea. I'm going to pull the policy proposal from here and start a new discussion in the Community Portal instead. Hopefully we can get some engagement this time around... -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 22:25, November 3, 2010 (UTC)
== Policy for Usernames ==
;Username policies
# Usernames that are the same or very similar to the name of a premade Sim, game, neighborhood or item from ''The Sims'' series of games are not allowed.
# Examples: a user cannot choose 'MortimerGoth' as a user name, since it is similar to [[Mortimer Goth]], a premade Sim. Additionally, a user can't use 'The Sims 3' as a username, as it is identical to [[The Sims 3]], a game title. A user with the name 'BellaGothRocks,' however would be allowed because it is different enough from [[Bella Goth]].
# This policy does not apply to users who are already editors on the wiki as of the date it is enacted.

Comments:
I've introduced this in reaction to a user named {{Userlinks|The Sims 3 Late Night}}. Please keep in mind that this policy would not have any effect on already-registered users, such as {{Userlinks|BobNewbie}}, {{Userlinks|Bella Goth}}, or others who are already registered contributors.
