rewatch

could someone please update the schedule for the rewatch —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Connor401 (talk • contribs) .

Done. -Mr.Leaf 09:24, 19 June 2007 (PDT)

what's up with removing " the Moth"—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Connor401 (talk • contribs) .

is there a place where the full rewatch schedule is listed and is just copied over to the main page?--Connor401 15:13, 9 July 2007 (PDT)

At the moment the only place is on my hard drive. However there is a short list of the next five episode for discussion in the thread and rough dates for them. They are always included in the most recent discussion. I will look into adding the schedule to the wiki in the next couple days. Although it isn't tough, usually one or 2 (mostly two episodes a week) and it goes in order. -Mr.Leaf 16:37, 9 July 2007 (PDT)

Next Time in Lost

Once again Lost is about to be shown in my country (Russia). How do I add scedule to the "Next Time in Lost" list? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Malachi (talk • contribs) .

Only the major English-language countries are kept up to date on the main page of the English wiki. I think there is interest in a Russian-language wiki, but it's not created yet. You should leave a message for Admin if you are interested. In the meantime, feel free to update Russian airdates on the Airdates of Lost page.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 07:06, 29 June 2007 (PDT)

• It might be approached as a one-time news item, if a new season or broadcast series is beginning in Russia. Boone or Znch should be able to clarify. -- ^C¯ _Santa_ ¯^T 14:34, 30 June 2007 (PDT)

New Zealand 'next time on Lost'

For some reason they decided to show the finale in two parts, so the next episode is still Through the Looking Glass. ehh. 21:46, 28 June 2007 (PDT)

I think that is what's going to happen in Australia too. --Blueeagleislander 17:35, 30 June 2007 (PDT)

Move to Wikia?

Have you guys ever considered moving to Wikia?--Astroboy 14:14, 30 June 2007 (PDT)

• Assuming you are not trolling (since your question above is thus far your one and only contribution): There is no justifiable motivation for doing so. Wikia already has a Lost wiki here, and it is significantly smaller and less complete than Lostpedia. One might ask if Wikia might merge its Lost content to Lostpedia! In reality however, its community has a different set of institutionalized priorities for their Lost wiki compared to Lostpedia (for example our Theory policy, among many issues such as the style and management of episode and character pages) that would make the communities largely incompatible. We also have no hosting stability reasons (longevity, bandwidth, etc.). Lostpedia also has an established brand recognition among the Lost fan community (for example, having won the Jay & Jack's Hugo Cup award) as well as in the mainstream media-- hard won brand recognition that would be largely erased in such a move. We also have established complementary communities and operations as far as a discussion forum, IRC channel, and blog. We have a mutual respect for the Wikia community, but no practical reason to merge, in addition to the general aversion against such a move by our users and administrators.-- ^C¯ _Santa_ ¯^T 14:24, 30 June 2007 (PDT)

Jimmy Wales has given us an open-offered to host us at Wikia should the need ever arise. However, at the moment we do not have a need, and our bandwidth and usage isn't an issue. Should it be an issue, I am sure we will discuss our needs with our hosts, the other administrators and if needs be consider Jimmy's offer, but basically, we don't need to join Wikia to keep the site alive, so no, we've never considered it and won't be for the forseeable future. Also, as already pointed out, they already have a LOST wiki, and we wouldn't want to be stepping on anyones toes by joining up and "gazzumping" them, or by some kind of forced merge between the two communities. Our content is also non-GDFL, which might make things rather difficult, tho I assume Jimmy's offer would accomodate that, should the need arise, as we're a large wiki  Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  03:53, 2 July 2007 (PDT)

New Page Layout

Props to everyone involved with the new main page layout, it looks great. --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 18:32, 7 July 2007 (PDT)

Totally agree, awesome! --Blueeagleislander 21:09, 7 July 2007 (PDT)

• Thanks guys. -Mr.Leaf 16:38, 9 July 2007 (PDT)

• Seriously though, it's awesome. You could have a future in web design --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 18:11, 9 July 2007 (PDT)

• Lol, thanks Crabby. As much as i want to sit back and take the praise, I just converted it from Portuguese and worked out some of the bugs. I borrowed it from our good friends at the Portuguese Lostpedia who borrowed it (with permission) from Portuguese Wikipedia. Thanks anyway :P. -Mr.Leaf 18:22, 9 July 2007 (PDT)

• Well, it still looks great! --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 18:27, 9 July 2007 (PDT)

Cloverfield

Someone with the authority to do so should update the main page with a news snippet regarding J. J. Abrams' new film Cloverfield (High quality-ish trailer). Yay for veiling laziness as lack of power!
Tanktunker 00:55, 13 July 2007 (PDT)

Ideas Page?

Please not that although this was orginally in Archive 8 of this talk page, I'm copying this here because a decision hasn't been made on this idea. Thanks --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 18:34, 14 July 2007 (PDT)

• Does anyone else think that it's quite hard to implement an idea here? Generally, one asks a SysOp, but there's no place where you can propose an idea, the community can vote, and you either do it or don't. I think we should have a page like this, at LostPedia:Ideas or something similar, where the community can vote yes or no on certain ideas and give feedback on them. What does everyone else think? --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  01:26, 1 June 2007 (PDT)
  • I'm REALLY for this idea, which I guess is ironic. Sysops take note. --   Dee4leeds  talk  contribs  all  11:15, 2 June 2007 (PDT)
    • I also think that's a great idea. I'm all for an ideas page. --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 16:39, 8 June 2007 (PDT)

what kind of ideas?--Connor401 18:45, 14 July 2007 (PDT)

• Any kind really, Lost Soul might disagree, but I was under the impression you could suggest anything (new articles, templates, procedures, etc.) --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 18:48, 14 July 2007 (PDT)

• While I don't really see the need for this idea I have no problem with implementing it if users will use it. I mean if you think something should be done then do it, if someone has a problem with it I'm sure they will let you know quickly enough. -Mr.Leaf 19:03, 14 July 2007 (PDT)

• So is it okay if I attempt to make a Lostpedia:Ideas page? --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 19:05, 14 July 2007 (PDT)

• I'm interested in how you plan on doing this or making this work so sure go for it. Be sure to add the {{underconstruction}} for now at least. -Mr.Leaf 19:50, 14 July 2007 (PDT)

• Yeah, basically, if somebody has something that they want to add to the site, they can put it there and the community can discuss it. :) Whatever everyone else wants I'm happy with. It's just a way of implementing things easily and efficiently. Plus, it gives us all a chance to have further input. --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  02:34, 15 July 2007 (PDT)

• I don't see the harm, if no one volunteers to write the rules, I can draw up a rough draft. Tanktunker 10:41, 15 July 2007 (PDT)

• I agree that it's a good idea to have this page but it will need to be watched and updated. Regular editors and sysops should add this page to their watchlist. More complex ideas with considerable debate may need to have subpages created. I've added a link to this page to the header above.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 17:43, 17 July 2007 (PDT)

• The ideas page will be divided into 3 parts: Current votes Rapid votes and Archive If you wish to enter a vote on a particular idea regarding a change to the site or a significant change to a certain page you should create a new vote in the current vote in the following format: ===Idea name=== '''# for : # against''' <br> Voting period <br> Idea description <br> ~~~~ Votes start out with one "for" vote (From the idea suggester) and votes should be submitted in the following format: '''For/Against''' Optional comment ~~~~ In addition, the for : against count should be updated when submitting a vote. A voting period should be between 3 to 7 days. If, by the end of the voting period, a vote has achieved a two thirds majority or higher, it will be put at the top of the archive list and implemented as soon as possible. Newly archived votes should be submitted with the name in a level 2 headline, which should be removed imediatly after implementation. If a vote has not acheived a two thirds majority, it should be deleted immediatly. An idea that is either minor and/or urgent should be submitted in the rapid votes section, the voting period should be 24 hours, and must acheive a three quarters majority to be archived, if the idea can be considered a major but has not acheived a three quarters majority in the rapid votes section should be transfered to the current votes section and be voted on for two more days, if it should acheive a two thirds majority in the current votes section, it may be archived and implemented, otherwise, the vote should be deleted. An administrator can, if s/he feels is necesary, either veto an idea or change the percentage of the vote required for it to pass. An idea that did

A rough draft; suggestions, critique, insults?

I made a rough start to the Lostpedia:Ideas page as no one else had as yet. It is welcome for improvement or changes. DrGiggles 09:18, 17 July 2007 (PDT)

• Not sure if everything needs to be implemented on the wiki, as we already have the Lostpedia Suggestions subforum. Two more salient points:

1. This is not a regular maintenance issue such as Lostpedia:Requests for page protection, nor (due to the open-endedness of suggestions which may conceivably be asked) can it be strictly a Lostpedia:Community Portal function operated primarily by the main userbase. Therefore putting it the Lostpedia space may be problematic. If the goal is for organized discussion, that is what the forum is for. We don't have the bureaucracy manpower necessary to maintain "Help tickets" on a variety of suggestions in a tidy fashion that would actually work to process ideas. The forum is a method that works with the resources that we do have, when it comes to suggestions that don't fit neatly in an article talk page.
2. Also, prescribed voting periods isn't sensible for our site, or any wiki, and neither is decision by straw poll. There is no such thing as "voting" here, there are only discussions and straw polls, from which reasoning or consensus may be derived. At the very least the voting aspect needs to be removed. For further reference in these issues with regard to this wiki, see WP's resources: WP:POLLS and WP:DEMOCRACY, as well as the meta "Don't vote on everything". -- ^C¯ _Santa_ ¯^T 15:11, 17 July 2007 (PDT)

Lost : The Answers in Aus

Just a quick one to notify whom it may concern that Lost:The Answers will air in Australia at 10:30pm July 19 2007, 1 hour after "Greatest Hits" finishes. --Blueeagleislander 22:06, 14 July 2007 (PDT)

Okay, thanks, I will add it to the show guide. -Mr.Leaf 09:37, 15 July 2007 (PDT)

Removing featured articles

How can a featured article be nominated for removal? I noticed that Bloopers and continuity errors is in horrible shape; it's full of speculation (most of the bloopers aren't confirmed by any source, they're just our personal opinion of what is and isn't an "error"), full of Talk-page style conversations between disagreeing editors, and full of blatant mistakes in what it assumes are or aren't errors. Moreover, it is clearly heavily biased in its coverage: there are ten times as many bloopers noted for recent episodes vs. the older episodes, even though one would expect the opposite to be the case, if anything. -Silence 21:02, 16 July 2007 (PDT)

I don't think Lostpedia has a FA removal system. Good idea, though. Where's that Ideas page when you need it? --Blueeagleislander 01:53, 17 July 2007 (PDT)

• Good points. At LP the star only signifies that it was once AOTW. That said, there are practicalities of a smaller, growing site to consider, as you are accustomed to the juggernaut of a community that is WP. Depending on nominations, and availability of Sysops that week, sometimes AOTW selections in the past have occasionally been made either as 1) a lesser of two evils of what was nominated, or 2) if nothing sensible was in the nomination queue with active discussion, sometimes a blank AOTW was just opportunistically filled by the Sysop who noticed that the AOTW had been neglected. At first it was fairly ambitious for LP to select one a week ( I believe Lost.wikia does one a month ). Even as we have grown, community portal discussions do not have the overwhelming numbers at WP, so that a consistent quality of consensus is not possible. I would guess that the FA star at LP would not be removed, as it is seen primarily as a record of a past AOTW and only secondarily as a model article. Go ahead a slap a {{rewrite|reason}} tag on it, or nominate for AAA it in the community portal if you feel like it needs work, but at this point a single case is probably not justifiable at LP to create an entirely new process to undo yet another process that is still relatively young and only beginning to mature. As a second comment, the visual slickness is sometimes interpeted as both longevity and perfectionist quality of various features on the front page, but it's just not so-- many of the main page blocks (and features such as the forum, blog, irc) are simply volunteer efforts by one or two individuals that are generally slow to gather steam. AOTW sort of archives the process itself, since articles are (currently) forever marked. Of course "forever" in this case is less than a year. Hopefully that provides a bit of explanation, if not a satisfactory and clean solution. -- ^C¯ _Santa_ ¯^T 02:26, 17 July 2007 (PDT)

• • Alright, that makes sense. And yes, I'm not surprised that we don't have a more elaborate bureaucracy in place for this, as the community's relatively small. It might be a good thing to keep in mind for the future, though; as this site continues to grow, it may make sense to implement something that evaluates the current quality of articles (as opposed to the largely historical issue of whether they've ever been on the main page), and replace the "featured" star currently on article pages' corners with something more relevant like that.
  • For now, however, I've decided just to work on cleaning up the Bloopers article myself. I've copyedited the first two seasons so far, and implemented a new, more aesthetically pleasing table system to present the information (similar to what I've been doing with Portal:Episodes). -Silence 03:20, 17 July 2007 (PDT)

Locke Featured Article

Just noticed a mistake in the Locke featured article bit on the main page. It says "While throughout the first 2 season it was shown..." when it should be "seasons". Just thought someone should change it, that's all. random2502 15:12, 19 July 2007 (PDT)

minor edit

in the index at the bottom of the page under the subheading others, karl is listed twice. ~~fredcar

season 4

does anyone know when the previews for season 4 will come out and where?--Connor401 09:20, 27 July 2007 (PDT)

Spoiler warning

Template:SpoilerWarning is full of errors. What's the best way to fix it? -Silence 20:43, 26 July 2007 (PDT)

• What errors? --Blueeagleislander 02:06, 27 July 2007 (PDT)

• The placement of the season 3 finale title doesn't make sense in context; it says below that "Lostpedia is updated to US aired episodes (shown above)", which implies that all US-aired (also, note the dash) episodes are "shown above", when in reality only the most recent one is. "updated to US aired episodes" also doesn't really make sense. It seems like it should be saying something more like "Lostpedia is up-to-date with the latest episode aired in the US, which is currently: [episode number and title]".
• "regarding which pages they visit including the lower sections of the Main page." - Should have a comma after "visit".
• "Spoilers about LOST episodes" - The show's name is "Lost", not "LOST".
• "before their US airing dates" - Awkward, should be "before their US air dates" or simply "before they air in the US".
• "are highly discouraged, in line with" - Simpler wording would be "are strongly discouraged, per".
• "the creators and ABC's wishes" - Grammatically inconsistent; should be "the creators' and ABC's wishes".
• "If you still wish submit" - Should have a "to" between "wish" and "submit".
• "spoilers please" - Should have a comma after "spoilers".
• "so as to avoid spoiling other users." - You can't spoil a user; you can only spoil an episode or plot point. It should be "spoiling anything for other users" or similar.
• "post a theory please" - Should have a comma between "theory" and "please".

-Silence 05:53, 27 July 2007 (PDT)

Ask a sysop to make these changes I guess. --Blueeagleislander 21:04, 27 July 2007 (PDT)

mysteries

could someone synchronize the mysteries at the bottom of the main page and the Portal:Mysterious--Connor401 18:59, 27 July 2007 (PDT)

A lot of the indexes need updating. See Talk:Portal:Main Characters. Aaron, Paulo, and Bernard are not more "main" than the likes of Ben, Danielle, and Juliet. -Silence 19:05, 27 July 2007 (PDT)

monster situation

there appears to be a problem with the monster talk page i just posted a comment and now nothing appears on the page is this for real or is it just my computer--Connor401 19:06, 27 July 2007 (PDT)

I think you accidently deleted the text or something. My computer won't let me revert it. Strange, maybe it's just to big. --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 19:37, 27 July 2007 (PDT)

• You didn't post anything, you deleted the entire page. (The -80,905 in Special:Recentchanges attached to your name was a clue :) ) I reverted your deletion to restore the page. -- ^C¯ _Santa_ ¯^T 22:24, 27 July 2007 (PDT)

• I think it was a weird glitch; that's why non-sysops couldn't revert the deletion. I've seen similar things on Wikipedia before. -Silence 22:36, 27 July 2007 (PDT)

I think it was essentially that the page was going over 80,000 characters, it was so long that either something server side couldn't cope, or a lot of our own browsers were glitching when we were saving vast amounts of data. I've had to archive the talk page twice, I tried just one but even that bugged out. Hopefully now there should be no further problems --Nickb123 (Talk) 15:29, 28 July 2007 (PDT)

crash notice

does any one have a high quality photo or transcript of the sign stating that the crash scene was a movie prop as stated in the season 1 bonus features?--Connor401 17:50, 30 July 2007 (PDT)

The Lost Experience Sponsors

I'm not sure if I'm the only one with this problem but when visiting the article, the tabs at the top do not appear correctly - the text in the middle is missing as well as the colour leaving them looking like "| |". Also, in the recent changes, where nickb123 has edited the lost experience advertisements, the name is missing. Likewise when I visit pictures that have been linked to the page, the name is also missing and instead there is just a blank bullet point. Is anyone else having troubles? DrGiggles 07:15, 7 August 2007 (PDT)

Its fine for me on Firefox, though yesterday I did notice on my contribution list a couple of my edits the name was missing as was (diff) etc. Try going to the page again and at the end of the URL adding ?action=purge - maybe that'll work --Nickb123 (Talk) 08:49, 7 August 2007 (PDT)

Correction - there is something really up with this. The link from the Lost Experience template looks like its vanished. I noticed cause a link I made to it vanished in mid-paragraph. Its only happened to me on Internet Explorer (works fine with Firefox). The thing is though that it seems to also vanish from the TOC on this page - suggesting it doesn't even matter if the name is manually hyperlinked. What the hell is going on with that?! Is it cause the extension is too long or something? Has the name been tabooed??! --Nickb123 (Talk) 12:19, 13 August 2007 (PDT)

Mystery solved - its Norton AntiVirus. What it does is whenever it sees the word advertisement hyperlinked in any shape or form, it blanks out the word as it views it as literally, an advertisement. That's Symantec for you - stupid. I'm gonna move the article to Sponsors, and that'll compromise as a lot of people I think use the software. --Nickb123 (Talk) 12:38, 13 August 2007 (PDT)

The DVDs

I love the fact that the DVDs are now in the "Next time on Lost" section, but, and this is just an idea, couldn't we line up the Region 1 DVD with American and Canada, and the Region 2 with the UK and Ireland? It's just a thought, but I think it might make it look neater. random2502 02:50, 11 August 2007 (PDT)

Also, could sources be given? As amazon.co.uk has Region 2's release date as Oct 22, not 103 days away. [1]--The Smiley-Faced Balloon 10:59, 11 August 2007 (PDT)

Sources are available when you click on the DVD link on the frontpage. December 11th was confirmed at Comic-Con for Region 1. The region 2 time is technically incorrect between midnight and 9am GMT because the server for Lostpedia is in California, so the date will occasionally look out, there isn't much we can do about it I'm afraid. It is set for October 22nd. I didn't want to integrate it into the country sections yet, but I will look into it.  Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  18:58, 12 August 2007 (PDT)

My mistake. I'd put 22nd November, not October. Fixed now. -- Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  07:51, 13 August 2007 (PDT)

• Region 4 (well Australia at least), will have the DVDs on 17th Oct 2007. See here: [2] --Blueeagleislander 01:00, 14 August 2007 (PDT)

No Featured Article?

Hey, is there a reason there's no featured article on the main page? --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 08:37, 13 August 2007 (PDT)

The Rewatch

All the notices for the rewatch link to and tell you to visit the main page to find out about it. When you get here, there's no mention of the rewatch. The only way to find out about it is to search for "rewatch" in the search box. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ruinlach (talk • contribs) .

This has been removed now, as the rewatch is running via the Forum rather than the Wiki itself.  Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  04:14, 22 August 2007 (PDT)

• Apparently, they stopped doing the rewatch on the forums too, due to low interest. --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  06:02, 22 August 2007 (PDT)

Today in Lost History

I've started working on a new feature, which will allow us to have a version of "Today in History" but only Lost themed. I am currently done the pre-crash timeline and September 2004, but I will continue this over the next few weeks. If anyone wants to add any, look at the source code, copy the syntax and put it into The Template's talk page because this is a template, I cannot unlock the page for anyone to edit, so please put the info on the talk page so I can paste it in.  Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  03:18, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

i think it should be lower in the page the next time should be on top--Connor401 03:38, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

When the show isn't on air? Thats why I put it there, as its more relevant.  Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  04:06, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

I suggested something similar ages ago. Why now? --Blueeagleislander 03:50, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

Why not now? I've got the time to do it. Other people can put these features together, you don't need SysOps to create this stuff, just to get it on the front page :)  Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  04:06, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

"A good idea, but I don't think its worthwhile, as we only have three months of chronology so far." Exactly what you said Plktrn, when I suggested it earlier. But still, good work. --Blueeagleislander 04:09, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

Well people can be wrong sometimes, can't they? I'm not infallible! I've looked through the Timeline recently, and its safe to say that there is plenty of chronology outside of the three months on the island to do this with.  Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  04:19, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

I think it might be a good idea to create a "Lostpedia:....." page with a calendar where we can all add an event for each day, thereby making us a complete year, or at the very least a better guide. Then, a SysOp can add everyones' research into the template coding for the Main Page. We could even make it next week's article attack as well, a complete community effort for this new Main Page section --Nickb123 (Talk) 05:29, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

I agree with the person who said it should be further down. Perhaps underneath AOTW, as that side is lacking - there's more in the right hand column, so it's unbalanced. Just a thought. --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  05:42, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

I like both Connor's idea and Nick's idea. --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 07:15, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

OK I've moved it to the bottom left, and we'll be looking at putting a syntax calendar together for Monday.  Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  07:53, 23 August 2007 (PDT)

Season 4 Countdown

Can we get (somewhere on the main page) a running countdown to the lost season 4 premiere in various countries?

Just an idea. I know I'd appreciate it, seeing as I frequent this page and each time I visit my first thought is "how long until season 4?"

-Sam

No specific dates have been set yet. --Blueeagleislander 23:16, 1 September 2007 (PDT)

"On May 7th 2007, it was confirmed that Season 4 will return in February 08 for a 16 episode run, followed by 2 additional 16 episode seasons in 2009 and 2010" - From the Season 4 page

--sambres8

We do not know specific dates. Once we know a specific date we will put this countdown up. As of know all we know is it will start sometime in February. -Mr.Leaf 09:49, 3 September 2007 (PDT)

Polls

how often you should change the poll ? I had connexion problems and i had been inactive all last week and yet i still get the same poll "Who is your favorite deceased Other?", I think it have been there at least 3 weeks, shouldn't you change it weekly ? --MJKubba|talk|contributions 12:05, 4 September 2007 (PDT)

It is changed every 2 weeks during the hiatus because the break is so long. During the season it will change every week or perhaps even more often. It has only been up for 2 weeks, in fact it changes tomorrow. -Mr.Leaf 12:40, 4 September 2007 (PDT)

DVD Release, Region 4

The site (GamePlanet) that is referenced on the Season 3 DVD page says that the item (the DVDs) for Region 4 will begin shipping on the 23rd. Amazon.co.uk lists the Region 2 release as October 22nd. That would mean that the countdown for Region 4 on the main page is wrong, since Region 4 is one day later than Region 2, not five days earlier. David 21:30, 7 September 2007 (PDT)

Spelling

The word Congratulations is misspelled in the news about Terry O'Quinn winning an emmy.--Mapleleaf50 18:55, 16 September 2007 (PDT)

Featured article mistake

Article attack award?

Wow, what is this, a compitition? --Jigsaw 05:34, 18 September 2007 (PDT)

Yes it is, it's weekly (usually), and the person who contributes the most to the chosen article is given the AA award. --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 13:27, 18 September 2007 (PDT)

Today in Lost History?

Is it me or is it a day behind? its the day of the crash and theres no mention of it and it all seems to be from the day before. Unless its something to do with timezones? --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 04:14, 22 September 2007 (PDT)

I think it's timezones and that sorta thing. I think theres a special Lostbook due as well. --Blueeagleislander 04:20, 22 September 2007 (PDT)

I don't know...I'm on US Central time, and it is 11:23 PM here, meaning everywhere in the world is either on September 30 or October 1. But, the "Today in Lost History" is STILL displaying stuff from Day 8 (September 29). So, I think the program, or however the section is automatically updating, needs to be fixed, as it is set a day behind. David 21:26, 30 September 2007 (PDT)

Featured Article

Is it supposed to be blank at the moment? Also I know i should know this.. but where do we find out which article is up for the AA award this week. Ive been to the AA page where i thought it used to be listed but theres no information about current AA competitions. Thanks, --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 05:07, 12 October 2007 (PDT)

Everything is on an unofficial hiatus I think. --Blueeagleislander 05:00, 13 October 2007 (PDT)

One month later, and it is still blank, even the "Today In Lost History" Section is blank, even on days something did happen. Why isn't anyone doing anything about this? --#1LostFan 21:25, 13 November 2007 (PST)

Because only the sysops can do it. They must be busy...or something. --Blueeagleislander 22:34, 13 November 2007 (PST)

News articles

Why are articles on the news page so often copies of other blogs? It is understandable with new news, such as WGA etc, but the latest, "Lost Mobisodes Unraveled", isn't breaking news and we didn't learn about them via the website, ugo.com, it is from, so why do we copy blogs/websites when there is no need? Especially sites which refer to "ridiculous-theory cortexes" of fans, yes, us, the readers who are being called ridiculous. I like the news section, just I see no reasoning in the copy + paste approach when the rest of the wiki is self-written. --The Smiley-Faced Balloon 12:54, 20 November 2007 (PST)

"Missing Pieces Episode 3 / King of the Castle"

Which is it to be? On the Everywhere section of Next Time on Lost the new mobisode is called "King of the Castle" wherease in the America section it's called "Missing Pieces Episode 3". Shouldn't they both read "King of the Castle" seeing as we know its name?

I know they're only be up for a week but surely it shouldn't be like that? Especially if it's done by a dodgy code that's gonna do all the rest of them like that as well. -random2502 08:33, 21 November 2007 (PST)

Actually it says "Missing Pieces Episode 4" however your cache might still show 3 (which it showed the last week before we knew the official name). We have to do this because we do not know the names of the mobisodes until they are released. So for the Verizon section we have put Missing Pieces Episode # where as the ABC one is the mobisode name because by that time we know the name as it has been released on Verizon. Hope that makes sense. And trust me, the code/naming is the best way available to do it and the most accurate. -Mr.Leaf 08:52, 21 November 2007 (PST)

Cool, I was just wondering whether it was a glitch or not. Glad to know there's nothing wrong :D -random2502 14:31, 21 November 2007 (PST)

Spoken Articles

Just wondering if Lostpedia's considering adding spoken word articles like how Wikipedia is? I understand that there'd be certain pages (transcripts, etc) and certain parts of articles (large chunks of quotes, etc) which could not be done like this for copyright reasons, but I think it would be pretty cool if we could still have some spoken word articles. I for one would be willing to make some, having made some for Wikipedia. -random2502 00:25, 27 November 2007 (PST)

Interesting idea. Might wanna leave a note on Admin's page to discuss it with him. --Blueeagleislander 15:20, 27 November 2007 (PST)

Languages

The 'deutsch' link links to the english site. Also all the languages on the top of the pages should be capitalized. Actually 'my talk', 'navigation' etc. should be all capitalized as well, in my opinion.--Mc peko 09:20, 1 December 2007 (PST)

• What skin are you using? The default monobook? And what are your monitor settings. I believe on some monitors the links run behind the logo so when you click they you are actually clicking the logo and therefore going to our homepage. You can use the links on the sidebar to get to them. As for capitalization it isn't a big issue so there is no need to worry about it. -Mr.Leaf 10:07, 1 December 2007 (PST)

Yes. I'm using the default skin. My monitor settings are 3072 x 768. I use three 17" CRT monitors. Move the 'english' link to the left, so that 'deutsch' becomes the second language. This will solve the issue and make a lot more sence, since English is the default. As in English is the most spoken language now and Lost is produced in English.--Mc peko 10:41, 1 December 2007 (PST)
