== Re: Advice Needed ==
 
I see that you have already gotten a reply from [[User:K6ka|K6ka]], so I guess the only thing I can say more is to [[The Sims Wiki:Be bold|be bold]] in making edits and ask if there is anything that you don't know how to do. -- [[User:Icemandeaf|Icemandeaf]] ([[User talk:Icemandeaf|talk]]) 20:42, July 9, 2015 (UTC)
 
- Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it. I'll definitely be more bold, and will ask if I need help. I've already signed up for the adoption system, so I'll hopefully get help that way. Thank you again so much.

== Adoption ==
 
I have decided that I will go ahead and adopt you, so that you can ask me questions. Although from what I have seen, it doesn't look like you need much help. If you would like to accept me adopting you, you can use this template on your user page: {{t|User adopted|Icemandeaf}} -- [[User:Icemandeaf|Icemandeaf]] ([[User talk:Icemandeaf|talk]]) 01:34, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
 
:True, templates can be a little tricky at times (like I noticed you quickly found out just now with the {{t|User adopted}} template. I have found that using preview helps catch many mistakes (although not all). -- [[User:Icemandeaf|Icemandeaf]] ([[User talk:Icemandeaf|talk]]) 16:41, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Re: Question ==
 
That is fine. I did it all the time when I was first learning things myself. If you are making it your own page with your own information, but getting a template from someone else's page, then you aren't in any trouble. The only time you would be in trouble would be if you were to impersonate someone else.
 
As far as using American English rather than British English, the Wiki generally has a policy of using American English just because that is where the game comes from. So if you were to change neighbourhood to neighborhood, that would be perfectly acceptable. -- [[User:Icemandeaf|Icemandeaf]] ([[User talk:Icemandeaf|talk]]) 17:47, July 14, 2015 (UTC)
