;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.
;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]].

;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. ▼

;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.
