;About me
I am LostInRiverview, also known as LiR, Lord Liron, WeivrevirNiTsol, and LiR|Laundry. Or if you prefer, you can refer to me as ''Patrick'', except on March 17th. I'm a young adult living in the Midwestern United States. I have been a fan of ''The Sims'' series since ''The Sims'' came out in 2000. Prior to that, I played ''SimCity 2000'' and ''SimCity 3000'', and I still own and often play ''SimCity 4'' and other Sim games on occasion. In addition to Sim games, I also enjoy classic 16-bit era ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' games, the first ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' game, and ''Minecraft''. When not playing video games, I work and see friends and do normal people stuff. I also watch far too much Netflix.

;My wiki experiences
I joined The Sims Wiki in August 2009, but did not become a regularly contributing member until 2010. During that year I became an administrator and, eventually, a bureaucrat. In September 2011 I retired from wiki-editing, but returned in early 2012 and resumed my administrative and (eventually) bureaucrat positions.

On the wiki you will often see me constantly bringing up new topics of discussion in the [[Forum:Community discussions|community discussions forum]], or else making lots of edits to the project and policy pages. I tend to edit content articles randomly and don't really have any set projects usually. I am a frequent writer of [[:Category:The Sims Wiki Weekly News|The Sims Wiki News blogs]], the [[The Sims Wiki:Monthly Question|Monthly Question blogs]], and other various news posts, as well as monthly updates to [[The Sims Wiki:Featured article|featured article]]. I also help manage The Sims Wiki's Facebook and Twitter profiles (be sure to say hello!). All in all, I spend a great deal of my time hanging out on the wiki, keeping an eye on [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]], and lurking in the [[The Sims Wiki:IRC Channel|IRC Channel]].

I am the owner and operator of [[User:LiRBot|LiRBot]], a [[The Sims Wiki:Bot|bot]] that I sometimes use to make edits to pages on the wiki. If you notice LiRBot making bad edits or otherwise doing things it's not supposed to be doing, please let me know right away. If you have a task you'd like LiRBot to perform, please leave me a message on my talk page. Note that LiRBot uses {{Wiki|Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser|AutoWikiBrowser (AWB)}}, a semi-automated program which, while versatile, cannot perform some tasks. I'll do my best to help you with the tools that I have.

;Personal statements
I realize that sometimes I let my own personality get the better of me. I like to believe that I can maintain a cooler head through all drama, and remain unbiased, but I also believe that to think of yourself as unbiased is an ignorant position and very often an incorrect one. I have a passion for this wiki and the community that helped build it, and sometimes I run away with that passion and act recklessly or impulsively or angrily. I am working to adjust that behavior, and part of that adjustment is this statement. Through this statement I intend to set a framework for my own positive development. If you personally feel that I am not living up to my own statement through my actions, I strongly encourage you to [[User talk:LostInRiverview|tell me honestly]].

#I will not nominate users for administrative or bureaucratic positions. I feel that I have overused this procedure in the past, to the detriment of users who are qualified for those positions but afraid that a self-nomination is doomed to fail. I will not hold back my opinion on any nominations or applications that come forward, but I will no longer be putting names forward, regardless of how qualified a person is.
#I will actively avoid closing or archiving discussions that I have started and/or have a vested interest in, unless such an action is wholly uncontroversial or completely unavoidable.
#I generally believe that, as an administrator/bureaucrat, I should be held to certain standards. If multiple users believe that I am failing to do this, I will start a discussion on the [[Forum:Community discussions|community discussions forum]] asking whether I should remain as an administrator, or resign. So long as the discussion there is honest and open, I will respect the community's wishes and step down.

Ultimately, I want to serve the wiki well, and I want to encourage community growth and a positive atmosphere here. All actions that I take, I take with those goals in mind.

''Disclaimer: I reserve the right to alter these statements at any time''

;Pages I've created
Since a [[User:K6ka|certain other user]] decided to list out the pages he's created, I've decided to do so as well. Note that this list does not include: subpages for another main article (like patch pages), a page created by merging together two or more already-existing pages (like [[Compilations of The Sims 3]]), redirect pages, disambiguation pages, and pages for Sim traits.

Welcome to my user page!

I am a Bureaucrat/Administrator here on The Sims Wiki. If you are having problems or just want to chat, you can leave a message on my talk page and I should respond before too long. Otherwise, I am often online on Discord.

I am not always online and available to resolve incidents. If you need help with an on-wiki matter and I'm not available, you can:
