I noticed your edit [//sims.wikia.com/wiki/World?curid=36460&diff=816708&oldid=816706&rcid=853451 here] reverted two edits using rollback, but the edits reverted did not appear to fit in with the criteria for edits that can be reverted using the functionality. Please note that rollback should only be used in cases of obvious vandalism, or to revert your own edits. In all other circumstances, the edit should be manually reverted and an explanation provided in the edit summary. When in doubt, it is better to revert manually with an edit summary. ~~:I'm really happy to have you here, and I look forward to contributing with you!

Thank's for your lovely words of my family I made! I wish I could show you pictures of them.. I currently am sick with a sore throat and a stuffy nose but i'm still alive!! <3 The names were chosen with my own smart mind.. The glitch (( If your wondering <3 )) that happended is when you know in The Sims 3 Seasons? And you make a igloo? My sims (( Hannah and Rene )) Got stuck.. Oof i'm going to try and play them again.. Wish me luck and have a great day! I am concerned about your use of a rollback on the aforementioned page. The revisions you reversed appeared to be in the best interest of the page and brought it up to encyclopedic quality. Could you explain your reasoning, please? It is also worth giving a reason for reversing the changes in the history. Thanks. [[User:Thelevitatingscot\|Thelevitatingscot]] ([[User talk:Thelevitatingscot\|talk]]) 16:38, June 8, 2018 (UTC) ==Misuse of rollback tool== Isaiah, it has been brought to my attention that you [https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Grunt_family?diff=prev&oldid=863146 used the rollback tool] on an edit that did not constitute vandalism. As stated on [[The Sims Wiki:Rollback]], rollback is to be used, "To revert [[Help:Vandalism\|obvious vandalism]] and bad-faith edits, where the reason for reverting is obviously clear." The edit you rolled-back showed no signs of being vandalism, so it appears that your use of rollback in this case was incorrect. The rollback page goes on to say, "Use of rollback in other circumstances, such as to revert a [[TSW:AGF\|good faith]] edit you simply disagree with, is likely to be considered misuse of the tool." As a member of The Sims Wiki's moderation and administration team (which includes all rollbackers, content moderators, administrators and bureaucrats on TSW), you are held to a high standard of conduct. By my view, it appears that in this case, you have failed to meet that standard. I want you to understand that misusing rollback, or any other tool given to you to help in the moderation and administration of this wiki, is a serious offense that may result in the loss of rollback rights. It appears that you have been warned on at least two prior occasions (once by an administrator/bureaucrat) about the improper use of rollback; this message marks the third such warning. ▲[[User:ThatLoudSheep\|ThatLoudSheep]] ([[User talk:ThatLoudSheep\|talk]]) 19:00, April 3, 2018 (UTC)ThatLoudSheep <3 Please reply (either here or on my talk page) and explain to me your choice of actions in this case. I want to hear your side of things before I decide how we should proceed. '''[[User:LostInRiverview\|<span style="color:#337800;">LostInRiverview]] ([[File:Plumbob.png\|8px\|]] [[The Sims Wiki:Administrators\|Administrator]])</span>''' • [[User_talk:LostInRiverview\|Contact me here]] • 19:34, February 25, 2019 (UTC) ~~==RE: Question==~~ :[https://sims.fandom.com/wiki/Grunt_family?diff=prev&oldid=863146 This is the edit I was talking about] -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview\|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview\|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview\|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview\|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 20:07, February 25, 2019 (UTC) ~~#The images you added were slightly low quality. For example the elder images legs are slightly cut off, and LostInRiverview did say to update the template after getting higher quality images.~~ ~~#The Sims 4 versions of the toddler and baby icons were missing, making the icons inconsistent in pages.~~ # There has already been a discussion regarding this same idea [[The_Sims_Wiki_talk:Development_Portal/Archive_4#Adding_TS4_age_logos_to_TS4_Sim_infoboxes\|here]] and it was suggested to not use these life stage icons, due to them becoming very hard to see on a white background. #After you did these edits to the template, you seemed to create a sandbox to possibly test how it looks like. (Correct me if I'm wrong) This makes it look like a test edit and from my experience here on The Sims Wiki, test edits should be done in a separate test template, rather than the main one, as it could cause problems and probably confusion. #You seemed to leave the template as it is after you tested it, despite not adding the toddler and baby icons. You probably were going to add them some time later, but that should've been done in the same bunch of edits, not over two hours later. When, for example, updating a template that appears on hundreds of pages, the update should be done in a separate test template. You check out the current icons and improve how they look, add the missing ones when you feel like it, and when the test template is 100% good in your opinion, then move the source code to the main template. That way you can have hours and week lasting breaks from updating the template, without affecting the main pages. ::While I appreciate your concern for the project, even if such an edit warranted a reversion, it should have been reverted manually with an appropriate [[Help:Edit summary\|edit summary]], and not with the use of rollback. From what I can tell, the edit was made in good faith—a misguided edit can still be made in good faith—so that would warrant either revision or a manual revert with an edit summary, but it should never be reverted using rollback. If in doubt, at the very least revert with an explanation. —[[User:K6ka\|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka\|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka\|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 20:30, February 25, 2019 (UTC) The rollback was accidental, but I was still going to undo it manually and explain this shortly in the edit summary, but here it is and I hope you understand.
