The Sims 3
Hey; I've reverted your addition. I'm afraid that Wikia and Youtube are not considered reliable sources for article content, so we can't include anything with citations there. Ironholds (talk) 18:16, 5 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads up. I've added some more reliable sources Zach.vega1 (talk) 18:29, 5 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Cheats websites are also not reliable sources; in addition, the text appears to be copied straight from Wikia, which requires attribution (otherwise it's a copyright violation). The rule I use is "find a reliable source and then include what it says"; don't put in content and then hope that a reliable source turns up. Ironholds (talk) 19:07, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * How is a cheat website not a reliable source if it shows screenshots to support what it's saying? Zach.vega1 (talk) 19:50, 5 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Because the cheats website is not considered either qualified enough nor reputable enough for us to give what they are saying any credence. Ironholds (talk) 20:00, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I hope IGN is reliable. A bunch of the article's sources are from there. Zach.vega1 (talk) 23:29, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * IGN is fine. Re your good article nomination - an article has to have (essentially) a reference for every statement before it passes the criteria - you may find this posing something of a barrier. Ironholds (talk) 10:50, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Non-free images
Please don't re-insert images that fail our non-free policies, especially when you then go and add another one that does the same. Per WP:NFCC and WP:NFCC, non-free images are only allowed when they significantly add to the reader's understanding of the topic, and are not replaceable. In other words, they must be showing something vital to the article that is not explainable in text. These two images clearly don't do that. Please don't replace them.
