User talk:C.Syde65

Archived your talk page
Hey C.Syde65. I noticed that you removed some messages from your talk page. This is perfectly fine, but a much better solution would be to archive your talk page. I have archived the two discussions you removed. If you need help, feel free to contact me! K6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 03:22, February 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * To archive your talk page, you should follow the instructions on this page. The only difference is that you use a different template than the one shown on the said page, and that you MUST enter Source mode to properly archive your page (Visual mode is too messy). To enter source mode, click on the "Source" tab at the top of the editor. I've already added the template on your talk page - if you want to edit it or find the source code, enter source mode and copy the code.


 * Generally, to archive a talk page you should create a sub-page of talk page (which i've already done for you), for example: "User_talk:C.Syde65/Archive 1". After that page has a lot of discussions in it, create a second subpage called "User_talk:C.Syde65/Archive 2", add a link to that page in the archive box, and carry on. The maximum capacity that each archive page can hold is up to you.


 * To archive discussions, simply open up the main talk page, enter Source mode, select the conversations you want to archive (they'll be divided into level 2 headings, which look like this in source mode: ==Heading 2== ), and cut (Ctrl+X) them out. Then go to the archive page and simply paste (Ctrl+V) them in. Add at the top of the archive page, and hit publish. You're done!


 * You can also play around with rollback here. Make a few edits and then click on "Rollback" in the page history.


 * If you have any more questions, contact me again. K6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 12:24, February 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Actually I don't think its possible to rollback your own edits, I already tried with my sandbox. Joey.eyeball (talk) 02:38, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, you can rollback your own edits. The reason why your experiment didn't work is because rollback reverts all consecutive edits by one user to the last revision not made by that user. The reason why your experiment in your sandbox didn't work is because you were the only contributor to that page. Rollback can't revert a page that only one person edited, because there's nothing to revert to. K6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 03:34, February 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Correct! C.Syde65 (talk) 08:03, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've archived all but the most recent discussions. Let me know if you need anything. K6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 12:45, February 10, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Permanently Blocked Users
It's still their userpage. Indefinite blocks are not infinite blocks. Users can still be unblocked (and reblocked) at any time. Good admins should allow blocked users to edit their talk page so they can contest or appeal a block, as is the policy on Wikipedia (a lot of admins on other wikis make this horrible mistake). Also, the only reason why a userpage should be deleted is 1. Author's request or 2. If it contains offensive or inappropriate material.

User talk pages are almost never deleted, as seen here. K6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 13:00, February 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure if local wiki admins can actually delete a user page or user talk page. I would expect that that may be reserved for Wikia staff. Dharden (talk) 14:38, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is possible for local admins to delete someone's user page or user talk page. I deleted someone's user page here. K6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 20:54, February 9, 2014 (UTC)

Caliente sisters headshots
Are Nina and Dina's headshots in your fanon altered or those are extracted from their original appearances? If they're original, I'd like to ask if they can be used for the canon Nina and Dina's headshots. The current ones are smaller than they usually are.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  13:59, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay. I thought those are originals. If you could, I'd be thankful. I just didn't have time to do that myself. Also, I correct myself. Only Dina needs her headshot replaced. Joey added her headshot but it was shrunk to 200x200. Not that it really matters, but it's just inconsistent.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  05:17, February 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks! Don't worry about the unused images. They'll be deleted eventually.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  06:29, February 10, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Battles
It should be fixed. The problem was that one of the voters had a line-break between their vote and their sig, and that was being read as the end of the sequence. So, votes after that were numbered as being part of a new sequence. Dharden (talk) 14:30, February 12, 2014 (UTC)

Blond VS Blonde
It has come to a conclusion that the term "blond" is preferably used for male and gender-neutral context, and "blonde" for female. While this isn't enforced, meaning if an article uses the term "blonde" throughout the context we may leave it as it is or change it, changing the term from "blond" to "blonde" is discouraged. This isn't wrong at all, but doing so means that we change the term into a less-specific context. tl;dr: The usage of "blond" for male is already specific and correct, so why change it to "blonde"?

I'm saying this because you seem to inconsistently change the term "blond" to "blonde" in some Sims, such as Loki Beaker and some others, but sometimes not.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  10:44, February 13, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Facial Hair
Oh, sorry! I didn't notice that he had sideburns, and I think they do count as facial hair as well. Joey.eyeball (talk) 06:27, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Witch Doctor
I'll try and upload the image myself, once I have time to open up SimPE, since SimPE performs quite poorly on my machine. K6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 02:56, February 18, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Preceding unsigned comment
To sign an unsigned comment, you need to go into the page history and figure out who left the comment. Once you know who it is, copy their username, edit the page, and add username. For example:

RE: Edit on the Sims FreePlay
Good job there - I was at taekwondo when you made that revert. There's no need to tell anyone though - if it's blatant and obvious vandalism, revert without question.

Here's another tip - consider warning the vandal on their talk page after they made their edit. As is the custom on Wikipedia, warning vandals lets them know that their edits are being monitored and that they should probably stop. Sometimes a simple warning is all it takes to get someone to stop.

To warn a vandal, add to their talk page. If the vandal is an IP editor (i.e. is not logged in), add |ip=a to the template. If the vandal already has a level 1 warning, add |type=vandal2 to the template. So for an IP editor that has a level 1 warning and vandalized after the first warning, add. See the template itself for more information on how to use it. K6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 01:37, February 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Always warn when possible, even if it's clear the editor won't stop. That way, it prevents them from saying "But you didn't tell me this was wrong!" and it allows us to say "Don't say we didn't warn you, cause we did!" K6ka (talk &#124; contribs) 02:13, February 22, 2014 (UTC)

RE: School Grade
Just to make it clear (hopefully you don't think it this way), I changed the Clarify template to Confirm because it's more appropriate to use this one; and I changed it not because I doubted you. :) I always say this because when you bring up the discussion topic to someone's talk page, it implies that the discussion is intended particularly to that someone. Maybe next time you should bring up a discussion onto the article's talk page, unless you actually intend to point it out to someone in particular.

I'm not really sure about this glitch though. Children's grades are the same as adults' career performance, which is gained depending on their mood when they arrive at school / work. If the cheat somehow affects children's grades, theoretically it's supposed to affect adults' career performance too. I never heard career performance had any issues though, but I don't know it myself. It's just my theory.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  15:21, February 23, 2014 (UTC)

Userbox
Hey, you seem to be pretty confident with making userboxes, so I was wondering if you could create a userbox for people who have SimPE? Joey.eyeball (talk) 07:44, February 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Maybe with the SimPE logo/title. Joey.eyeball (talk) 07:47, February 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Umm... the icon? Joey.eyeball (talk) 07:53, February 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Never mind, I already made one myself. Here it is if you want to use it.

Undoing revisions
Hi, why did you undo the revision on Holly Alto's article? She is likely based on Meadow Soprano and there is no character called Autumn on the Sopranos... -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stella terrano (talk • contribs) - Please sign your comments with ~

Re: Gray World
After reading your Kingston Starker Fanon page, I see what you mean by your gameplay being more unambiguously black or white. Your Brandi Broke, the "complete opposite" of Kingston, would then be a moral paragon.

Many characters fit the profile of "bad, but not evil". They usually have at least one (but not too many) of the following traits:

Inappropriate, Hot-Headed, Grumpy, Mean-Spirited (not an exhaustive list).

"Evil" characters are those who make others suffer because they enjoy seeing other people suffer (ie. "Fiendishly delighted" moodlet of the "Evil" trait).

As for General Grunt, his alien xenophobia is only justifiable to some extent -- as much as the uncertainty of the alien agenda. To me, Grunt represents "rigid formal regimentation" and the obsession of forcing these standards on others. Though I do not fancy his sort of character, I have taken care not to portray him as a tyrant. In my show, Grunt the "control freak" has ironically given the control of his own fate into other people's hands...

You consider Albany to be "bad" due his excessive feuding? He does give me a bit of the General Grunt vibe, to be honest.

It's not always easy to "sort" characters clearly into clear categories of good/neutral/evil. Most of them are somewhere along a continuum. Aldo Hyde  07:07, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Hairstyles
Early before, the Category:Sims with curly hair only contains Sims with hairstyle like Jennifer Burb's, and mainly females. Of course no one ruled out that the category is exclusive to women only, and neither did I. Personally, I'd prefer to just add Abhijeet to Category:Sims with short hair and add Sims with hairstyle like Sabastian or Jared Starchild to afro hair if there's such category. But if you think it suits him well, that's fine.  Nikel  Talk  –  Vote!  16:40, March 31, 2014 (UTC)

Re: PT9 Abduction Video
Just saw the PT9 video. The concept is interesting, but the video pacing is not so good - the uploader should have edited out some parts. The uploader didn't continue the "story", with PT9 and Jenny both pregnant.

Wonder if you saw this one ;)  Sims 2 Karaoke Craze
