 * 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. 17:51, July 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * 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. 17:59, July 12, 2013 (UTC)

Reverting
Thanks for protecting the page. That user is already been blocked on chat. I didn't know what to then, how many times should I revert it before consulting and admin+? Blue12porcupine  talk  20:36, July 12, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Edit warring
I didnt edit war. My edits were helpful. ' WHY CANT YOU SEE THAT!!!!! '
 * 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. 21:13, July 12, 2013 (UTC)

Re. Edit warring 2
Oh I'm scared, I think I'm gonna get blocked, mmm lets hope not.

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.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  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. 09:30, July 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * One person... with always changing IP address for 8 months. It's easy to miss it since files are not monitored all the time.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  09:38, July 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've managed to set it so that an anon can add 3 licenses in the space of 2 minutes before the filter stops them. Now we shall wait and see where we go with this. 09:51, 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.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:58, July 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * 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. --  LostInRiverview talk ~ blog 19:46, July 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not always fanon, LiR. Sometimes it's even others, like screenshots from The Sims 3.


 * 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.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  07:48, July 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * It'll have to wait if its even possible. I'm currently away from home using my ipad. 10:47, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

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! Beds (parlare - da leggere ) 18:57, July 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Feel free to add yourself and whatnot. Sorry for the late reply, my social life practically took over and I'm currently using my ipad at my girlfriend's house. I should be back at my place tomorrow if you need any further assistance. :) 10:45, August 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Excellent, thank you very much! :) Beds (parlare - da leggere ) 11:40, August 3, 2013 (UTC)

Retiring
I've decided to retire from the wiki. I'd like for my rights as Administrator, Chat Moderator, and IRC Channel Operator to be removed. I would also like for my account to be banned for an indefinite time. Ѧüя◎ґ (talk) 15:51, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

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. Mate1234 (talk) 20:11, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

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.Mate1234 (talk) 21:52, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

So, you mean, less blur and TheXmas´ style? Mate1234 (talk) 11:00, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

I made another image and uploaded it 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? Mate1234 (talk) 14:47, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I will only put some blur to fit the image with TheXmas´ ones, though some of them had so much that blur thing. Mate1234 (talk) 18:32, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Can you delete, so that I can re-upload it? I messed up with its name. Mate1234 (talk) 22:18, August 8, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Mate1234 (talk) 06:33, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

RE:List
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.

Adopting ?
Hello! I saw you at the adoption list and as i'm super confused (just registered today) I was wondering if you would maybe me help me figure out how to edit my page, create it and etc... ;)

Thank you again and sorry to disturb you... you must have many requests!!!

JavaScript Oasis
Hey Lab! I'd like to ask you if you could help me out with the Oasis Scripting thing (Link to what I mean http://dev.wikia.com/wiki/UserTags#Restyling_the_Oasis_Masthead). I would like to add a picture of WOTE there for my wiki, so do you know anything about this? Jason (Speak •  Read) 12:22, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * According to that article, you can change the background image via CSS. For example, if I wanted to set File:Example.jpg as a background, I'd add this code to MediaWiki:Wikia.css:


 * Just substitute Example.jpg with whatever you want as the background image on your wiki. I'd recommend using a high-resolution image for the best results. 12:23, September 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks A bunch! 17:55, September 8, 2013 (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 Beds told me to double check with you. Jason (Speak •  Read) 19:43, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * As long as you personally feel confident enough to take on being an adopter, I'm okay with you adding yourself to the list. :) 12:25, September 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay I'll add myself whenever I have time to properly edit (I'm on my iPad again) 17:57, September 8, 2013 (UTC)

Can't Move Family Into an Empty House
Hello,

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?

Archiving Bella's theories
I attempted to archive Bella Goth's theories, but Abuse Filter seems to have caught 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 the longest page in the wiki? Should the filter be disabled temporarily or the profanity has to be searched thoroughly?  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  04:35, September 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * 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. 18:10, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

Renaming files
Hi, some time ago, you mentioned that I can rename files via Rename button on the toolbar. Hovewer, when I try that, it says that I don't have the permission to rename them. Can admins rename them only, or something is wrong with my account? <font face="blue" size="3"> Mate1234 <small style="font-family:Tempus Sans ITC;">(<font face="Tempus Sans ITC"> Chatterbox...   You don't have to read this..'  ) 21:28, November 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Apparently, you have to be an admin to do this. Unless I have been an admin for too long, I'm pretty sure other users were once upon a time able to do this. So unfortunately you'll have to ask an admin if you want a file renamed. Personally I think it's detrimental to the idea that anybody can edit a wiki. :/ 21:37, November 15, 2013 (UTC)

Inappropriate Username
Sorry to bother you but I found a user on chat with an inappropriate username. Joey.eyeball (talk) 02:00, December 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * I had a hard time deciding on this one and so did the admin of whom I asked for a second opinion. I can see why it's questionable though it seems mostly inoffensive given its nature so I'll let it slide for now. If they decide to edit and they add nothing of value to the wiki, I'll consider a block. 02:18, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

 * Is an e-mail address mandatory on Wikia to make an account? I know that for Wikipedia that isn't the case. The e-mail address is there in case someone hacks your account or if you just forget - you can then use the e-mail address to retrieve the password. And anyways, what's wrong with creating a new e-mail address? When my email account was created my mom forced me to give her the password - but once she looked away I quickly changed the password.

A small problem with the property template
While I was maintaining a fanon page (namely, adding the cleanup tag and the property template to a fanon of a user who is most likely inexperienced), I've noticed that it added the category "Fanon owned by Mathetesalexandrou" as well. I presume this is a bug? MILK FOR THE UNYUUFEX, FLAT CHEST FOR THE CUTENESS THRONE, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL PROBES (user talk:Mathetesalexandrou) 21:37, January 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think it was because there was already a Property tag on the page, which has since been removed, which had no attribution to it, meaning it's automatically linked the fanon with whoever last edited the article, or at least that's what I think it is. What you did was correct though. 12:14, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
