Talk:The Sims 2: FreeTime

Wrong company infos !

Maxis is dead since they are in EA, since 2007 the Maxis logo was removed from The Sims franchise ! It's no longer Maxis but it's EA Games only. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.52.208.241 (talk) 13:07, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Hobbies.jpg

Image:Hobbies.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Release Dates

I'd just like to ask for people to stop removing/changing the release dates. These have been confirmed by EA. MahoneyUK (talk) 23:38, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Plagarism

The text in this article looks like it was 100% plagarised from Toy's R Us's website --24.129.212.48 (talk) 22:05, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Change page name

I feel the page name of the Free Time article should be changed/moved to The Sims 2: Free Time (adding the colon (“:”)). This is better in the line of all the other expansion pack articles. -Jort227 (talk) 15:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

How?

How is it possible to plagiarize a product description. This is information released by EA to describe the upcoming game? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolweseun (talk • contribs) 06:53, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

'Should'?

The "should come out" part needs rephrasing or removing. Unless a specific date has been released it shouldn't be there.

Genie?

I have found Genie proof. See the reference. MahoneyUK (talk) 23:40, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Does anyone have proof that the creature is a Genie? Samurai Cerberus (talk) 17:40, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but dos the Genie mean that Sims will be Magic now? Samurai Cerberus (talk) 19:03, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

The genie was confirmed to be an NPC, so there may be another creature. --220.233.183.183 (talk) 07:53, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Nothing is confirmed until someone provides a reliable source.--Crossmr (talk) 08:04, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Were do we git this Genine stuff from anyway? Samurai Cerberus (talk) 23:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Hobbies

I don't know why someone removed all of the hobbies I had listed. I don't want to start an editing war or something like that so I am asking if everyone else thinks describing the main addition of the game is not worthy of being in the article. If you don't know the hobbies are listed on their main website with a new one released every Thursday. --PabloEscobar5 (talk) 18:21, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Spell Books?

The last hobby magazine looks like spell Books so it could be magic? What else could the books mean? If it sound formiy that is just becouse I am new at this Samurai Cerberus (talk) 00:16, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

wikipedia is not a place for speculation or a publisher of original thought. Talk pages are for discussions related to improvements that need to be made to the article, not a place for general discussion of the subject.--Crossmr (talk) 00:40, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

They do it on Bulbapeada. Samurai Cerberus (talk) 15:17, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

The last Hobby magazine is going to be based on the new films and literature, not magic. --Dm416 (talk) 19:15, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

• New enough, long enough, and good enough. Well, "good" is subjective. It is "well-sourced, neutral, BLP-compliant, and copyvio-free" enough. On first blush it seems like it's an absurd amount of detail to write about a Sims 2 expansion pack, but when you read it, it turns out the detail's all information. Maybe there could be something in the hook about the songs being in Simlish (if true), because that is way more interesting than them just being on the soundtrack. i.e. that They Might Be Giants sang in Simlish on the soundtrack for The Sims 2: FreeTime?. jp×g 02:12, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
  • Thank you! Yeah, I agree that's an improvement, so I'll structure it in formal hook form. Vaticidalprophet 02:41, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
