==Potential E3 Questions==
==Baut Timmy==
Hey there Lost Labyrinth!
Hes surname is Tool! I will soon add an imgae that hes surname is Tool! And if ya don't belive me, check the video Sims 2 Shorline Trails video and ya will se that hes surname is Tool!
 
My name’s Mike and I’m with Wikia’s gaming ComDev team. Just wanted to say hi and ask you a quick question about E3. As you might know, E3 is one of the biggest game conventions of the year, and it’s right around the corner. We may have the opportunity ahead of the show to interview some folks from EA, and would love to ask them any questions about The Sims 4 that you or the other admins may have.

:<s>I've just watched a few videos and there is no indication whatsoever of his name. I'm not spending my entire evening watching YouTube videos just to find out somebody's name. Either link me to a specific video that backs up your claim or upload an image you've taken yourself. {{LabSig}} 17:51, July 12, 2013 (UTC)</s>
 
Here’s an example of a community interview we’ve done before: http://xcom.wikia.com/wiki/File:Expert_Showcase_Special_Edition_-_XCOM_Enemy_Within
::Disregard the above. It does seem that some versions of the game do indeed list his name as "Tool" in the Relationships panel. I've restored your edit and linked to the video as a reference. Sorry for the confusion back there. {{LabSig}} 17:59, July 12, 2013 (UTC)
 
We really like letting Wikia communities ask the questions, because they’re very knowledgeable about their game of choice, and ask extremely in-depth questions that regular news outlets don’t.
== Reverting ==
 
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in doing, feel free to submit any questions you have here, or directly to me at mgrimm@wikia-inc.com

:You reverted Blue12porcupine several times. In future if you wish to contest a revert, bring it up with her rather than retroactively continuing to revert and engaging in edit warring. {{LabSig}} 21:13, July 12, 2013 (UTC)
 
Ah, excellent thanks a lot!
==Re. Edit warring 2==
Oh I'm scared, I think I'm gonna get blocked, mmm lets hope not.
 
This is actually a pre-E3 event, and we'll be talking to EA next Thursday, the 15th. They actually don't tell us ahead of time what they'll be presenting there, but with Sims 4 right around the corner it seems like a safe bet. If we don't hear anything from the event next week, I'll let you know, and we'll be sure to try and ask the questions at E3 proper.

==Licensing tool==
I wonder if you can disable the file licensing tool to unregistered users -- if it's allowed? After you fixed it when the tool broke, the vandal who kept inserting false license returned. After all, there doesn't seem to be any record where unregistered contributor helped license the files, or they can do it by editing the page instead. [[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>]] 06:24, July 24, 2013 (UTC)
:I can probably do something with [[Special:Abusefilter]] to try and mitigate the issue. It gets complicated when it's just one guy messing around with it and personally I don't want to lock out anons. completely from licensing images unless it's an absolute last resort. I'll try throttling file namespace edits from anonymous users for now and see what we get with this. {{LabSig}} 09:30, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

::::Eh, I realized your reply just now. I didn't recall if this issue still occurs between your reply and now, but if you set the filter to the same anon, I don't think it will be effective. For the record, this vandalism is always done by different anons, so one vandalism and the anon is gone for good. But anyway, I'll report back when I see this vandalism again.

:::::Pardon my interjection, but are you sure that it really is vandalism? It seems that images are always licensed as being fanon images, which is the default selection in the drop-down list. It doesn't seem unlikely that people are just accidentally licensing files. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 19:46, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

::::::But you know, I didn't think of that possibility... That too, might be possible too. I should remember AGF. In that case, can I request something else? Maybe disabling the tool if the image is already licensed, so there wouldn't be multiple license. If it's added by mistake, it can be corrected manually, because that's what has to be done if it's licensed incorrectly anyway.

Hey again!
==Adopt a User query==
Hey Lab (or Georgie; whatever you prefer) I was wondering if I could ask you a question about [[The Sims Wiki:Adopt-a-user]] program. Actually, it's more of me asking if it could be possible for me to join the program, as an Adopter I mean. I really like helping new users and pointing them in the right direction. I've been told by another adopter that users don't really need to ask but I just wanted to be sure. Thanks!

Sorry about the late response! E3 wrapped up a couple weeks ago, but we're just now getting caught up with everything around the office here. Just wanted to update you on the community questions situation. We unfortunately didn't have a chance to talk with anyone at E3 and ask them the questions, but we're going to try contacting them via email and seeing if we can get a response that way. I'll keep you posted if we do.

==Re: Images==
That image is very similar to ones made by TheXmas, except my one has thinking bubbles. And I don´t think that they have bad quality, images that RR removed before were bad. So I think there is no reason for removing them. So, please let me to upload them. [[User:Mate1234|Mate1234]] ([[User talk:Mate1234|talk]]) 20:11, August 7, 2013 (UTC)
 
==Assistance Requested==
Ok, I will put less blur on the images, but I will re-upload Michael´s one, because some of TheXmas´ images had even more that blur thing. And, please, don´t remove my images if you don´t like them, leave me the message to upload new versions.[[User:Mate1234|Mate1234]] ([[User talk:Mate1234|talk]]) 21:52, August 7, 2013 (UTC)
Hi!
I'm Plumbbobparadise and I'm a somewhat infrequent contributor here. I have a fairly large Simfamily whose adventures I'm attempting to chronicle here, and I want to link all their pages together, with family trees and the like. I see those bottom links with all the family names and even family trees with individual members. The page I'm trying to edit is here - [[Fanon:The Plumbs|The Plumbs]] Please help, I have no idea what to do :(

== RE: A few of my edits ==
I made another image and uploaded it [[Crystal Vu (Strangetown)|here]], I have added just a little blur to spice up the image and make it similar to TheXmas´s ones. Can this one stay, please? [[User:Mate1234|Mate1234]] ([[User talk:Mate1234|talk]]) 14:47, August 8, 2013 (UTC)
 
Sometimes I pretend to be over-reactive but now that you mention it, I suppose there is no need for it. It wasn't winding me up as much as it sounded like, but yes again there wasn't any need for it. And sometimes I do forget to tone it down.
Thanks. I will only put some blur to fit the image with TheXmas´ ones, though some of them had so much that blur thing. [[User:Mate1234|Mate1234]] ([[User talk:Mate1234|talk]]) 18:32, August 8, 2013 (UTC)
 
Also I guess there was no reason to blank the talk page for [[Gordon King]]. I sometimes forget that I tend to sometimes write those sorts of things as well.

Hi there. As a member of The Sims Wiki's community, you may be interested in knowing that there are some community discussions awaiting input and your contribution to these discussions help greatly to determine the future of the wiki. These discussions are:
*[[Forum:YouTube channel|Discussing how we should use our YouTube channel]]
*[[Forum:Male or female?|Determining how to interpret gender for Sims with ambiguous genders]]
*[[Forum:Merging compilation pack articles|A proposal to merge compilation pack articles]]
*[[Forum:Development studio notability|Determining the notability of non-Maxis developers]]
*[[Forum:"Too many X" responses in RfX|Discussing whether "Too many X" is a valid argument in an RfX]]
*[[Forum:Late 2013 theme discussion|Discussing a Late 2013 theme change]]
*[[Forum:Some issues with Featured Editor|Solving issues with Featured Editor]]
*[[Forum:Possible overhaul of the file policy to cover videos|Accommodating videos into the Image and files policy]]
 
* While my heart is certainly in the right place, and I have almost definitely learned everything I need to be an administrator, I actually think it's fortunate that you haven't supported my nomination for the following reasons.
Please take a few moments to review these threads and give your feedback. Your response is important, as it takes community consensus to see something come out of these forums and any [[Forum:Community discussions|community discussions]]. If you have something you wish to bring up then please don't hesitate to start a discussion.
* While most people normally take time over their edits, I am always in a rush because I feel that I have a mountain of things to do and I just want to get them all done. As a result I often forget to add several bits of information, so then I have to go back and type in the information that slips out of my mind - by which time other editors may already have noticed.
* I often tend to do what many consider to be "A rough job which needs to be polished". I remember making an edit on a page, and another editor came along and tried to improve the grammar of my edit - but in doing so they re-wrote the opposite to what I had intended.
* I have made many mistakes, most of which I am unlikely to repeat - but then there's always a new generation of mistakes, in addition to those mistakes that had no one else pointed them out to me, I would never have noticed.
* Also when others try to explain things to me, I'm in too much of a hurry to actually take the time to consider and understand what they've said. This explains why I often misinterpret advice - such as "taking a step back and think a little bit deeper about what you're doing". Instead I might think of it as "wasting my time thinking about this when I could be jumping ahead to something else".
* Naturally I'm often under the impression that nothing is wrong which is why I express my confidence and experience whilst failing to notice any advice "observe what's going on with administrative issues, rather than attempt to jump straight into them". Instead I might see it as "You need to go back and learn how to talk" - why would I do that when I'd already learned how?
* I can't see myself making any severe mistakes with those administrative tools but with those other mistakes, it doesn't look good. And of course a person can't always predict what they might or might do wrong. Recently I saw a nomination for administration-ship and thought "why has no one nominated me"? The answer was soon to be there waiting.
* I'm unlikely to repeat those mistakes "blanking a page" or "making false assumptions regarding a certain user and their sockpuppets". But that still doesn't mean that the 'charges' have been cleared...yet.
* Now that I'm aware of these mistakes, I'm sure I can learn from them, and spend more time on things rather than jumping ahead. With that, I'll develop into a much better editor at a remarkably quick pace - being a quick learner.

Oh man, I'm so sorry. I had no idea! My Wiki glitched out, and it didn't show me the "You are recreating a page that has been previously deleted" I'll try not to let that happen again.
:Unfortunately that's down to Wikia butchering JS/CSS to the point where nothing works as it should. While the tooltips are optimised for a completely different skin, the code should theoretically work here and there's nothing in the code to suggest why it shouldn't, but it doesn't. The list of things we can blame on Wikia is growing at an alarming rate. {{LabSig}} 13:38, July 6, 2014 (UTC)

==Becoming An Adopter==

... You may of seen what I put on the talk page of the [[The Sims Wiki:Adopt-a-user]] (I'm currently editing via iPad so I can't be bothered to put the link to the proper page). So I would like to check if I could be an adopter. The reason why I am here is because [[User:Beds|Beds]] told me to double check with you. <font face="Helvetica">[[User:JasonThePlum|<font color="#703642">'''Jason'''</font>]] <sup>[[User talk:JasonThePlum|<span style="color: #3a3a3a ; text-shadow: silver 0 4px 4px;">('''Speak'''</span>]] • [[User blog:JasonThePlum|<span style="color: #C95A49 ; text-shadow: silver 0 4px 4px;">'''Read''')</span>]]</sup></font> 19:43, September 7, 2013 (UTC)

Hello,
 
::Happy birthday, Lab! :) ― '''[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]''' ([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] &#124; [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]]) 22:59, November 6, 2015 (UTC)
Every time I try to put my usual Sim family into Isla Paradiso, I get as far as clicking the tick and then it goes blank but I'm not playing with the active household. My chosen house is green (Saying that it's my home) and I get the message saying that I can play with them but I cannot actually control them. My game is not frozen and I can still move around freely on the map but it's impossible to go out of map view on the slection screen. Could you help me please?
:::Cheers random IPs and C.Syde! :) {{LabSig}} 21:05, November 26, 2015 (UTC)

==Archiving Bella's theories==
I attempted to archive [[Bella Goth/theories|Bella Goth's theories]], but Abuse Filter seems to have caught [[Special:AbuseLog/5267|profanity in the theories]]. Well, it means it can't be archived at the moment. But how are we supposed to find the profanity in [[Special:LongPages|the longest page in the wiki]]? Should the filter be disabled temporarily or the profanity has to be searched thoroughly?

:I've removed the one word from that page that's triggering the filter, so you're free to do whatever. I'll think of a more permanent solution later as I'm only short visiting at the moment. {{LabSig}} 18:10, September 21, 2013 (UTC)
