== 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. |
|||
BTW, I noticed that you tried to do an indentation for a talk page. This is actually common practice, but I will teach you how it is usually done. It is a lot easier. ;-) If you are using the source view, a colon (:) at the beginning of the line is one indentation. Having multiple colons at the beginning of the line (i.e. ::) will do multiple indentations. If you are in the visual view, you just have to using the "increase indent" button for the same effect. -- [[User:Icemandeaf|Icemandeaf]] ([[User talk:Icemandeaf|talk]]) 17:54, July 14, 2015 (UTC) |

:{{ec}} Just wanted to point out that, while the wiki generally uses U.S. English, the top priority is making sure the article uses a consistent style throughout. So if the article was initially written in British English, it's best not to suddenly add a paragraph that uses U.S. English. The [[The_Sims_Wiki:Manual_of_Style#U.S._English_and_commonwealth_English|Manual of Style]] says: <span class="inline-quote-talk" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: #008560;">though changes to important articles to adapt them to house style are occasionally useful, please don't make a point of changing an article to your preferred style</span>, if this helps. --I am [[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] [[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF"><sup>Talk to me!</sup></span>]] [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F"><sub>See what I have done</sub></span>]] 17:56, July 14, 2015 (UTC) |

::Thank you both so much. That really clarifies things. I'm really happy that I'm not in trouble. I would never impersonate anyone, but just needed help with the templates. I've told you those were hard for me. :) Thanks for helping me with the indention problem Icemandeaf. I wasn't sure how to do it. Now I know how.

== Links == |
|||
When making a link to another page within the Wiki in the main namespace, you don't need to start with "sims:" as it will be automatically assumed that is where you want it to go. I have changed the last two pages that you did to that effect, but I thought you might like to know. -- [[User:Icemandeaf|Icemandeaf]] ([[User talk:Icemandeaf|talk]]) 18:46, July 14, 2015 (UTC) |
