Good job
One more Bob destroyed, I thought I was the only around to revert his evil edits! --Blueeagleislander 03:34, 14 February 2007 (PST)
Nice Call
Good call on the system failure and plane crash theory. Something that hasn't sat right with me since A Tale of Two Cities is the plane crash itself. We see the plane breaking up over the island at a seeming low altitude, but in the 1st episode, when the plane is torn in two, you can clearly see the clouds far below the aircraft! And, when we see the tail section crash in Season Two, it comes at an angle nowhere near where we see it break up in Two Cities!
Pharmakon 10:12, 14 February 2007 (PST)
- Wow, a writer coming out and making a clear connection between two events? Unheard of! Absurd! What will we do without our speculations!
- That's almost like saying, "If Jack had fallen and broken his neck while running stadium steps, there'd be no show." Maybe it wasn't a direct cause and effect, but set off a sequence of events!

Novels
I haven't read Bad Twin, but I have read Signs of Life, and I am going to read Endangered Species and Secret Identity soon--Phil 08:04, 16 February 2007 (PST)
The unanswered...
Just wanted to explain my reasoning for that last delete... a lot of the centric episodes don't cover *everything* that happens on the island, just a segment of interaction that involves the centric character. For example, we probably won't find Kate and Sawyer arriving in their canoe for several episodes, even though we know they are in the water. So I think it's one of those unanswered questions that will be answered very soon. But it's kind of a soft call, and I don't care that much about it. :) --PandoraX 09:18, 16 February 2007 (PST)

Skin condition
Hey,
Sorry for the confusion, but I wasn't actually talking to you. I never once suspected you personally of being hasty or rash. I actually wrote that note to the people who's answer is telling people to use a different browser. I was just reminding them that it's not that easy. The skin looks nice, though! -BearDog 13:21, 19 February 2007 (PST)
Questions
Thank you so much for the user guide to getting a user page started! But I have some questions:
1.) How do you set up a new page for creating a signature
2.) Do you know how to get one of those boxes at the top of a page that has all the level two headlines like on an article.
Just answer these in my discussion page.
Thanks again! Bettyfizzw 20:00, 19 February 2007 (PST)

Hey, i just added most of the cue cards on the Juliet's tape page, but cue card two, i found hard to get, so i added the pic thats there now, do you think its ok to have that?

Brit question
Hey Nick, thought maybe you could answer this... is this user right? [1] Scottish = British? Do they refer to themselves as such? I know Scotland is part of Great Britain, but I guess the people :) Maybe this is a dumb question. --PandoraX 08:09, 23 February 2007 (PST)

Clear Something Up For Me
I need you to clear something up that's been bugging me. It's about vandelism. A long long time ago in a universe far far away you told be it's okay if I revert Bob's edits because it's not very confussing. Later, you told me that I should only revert edits if the vandel has only done like six edits and not some big number like sixty. You also said something about only revrting major articles. So now I'm confussed. What should I revert and what shouldn't I revert? --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 09:17, 25 February 2007 (PST)
Okay Thanks --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 10:45, 25 February 2007 (PST)
Backgrounds
That's funny. Just finished a chart on their uses just now: Category:Lostbook background images --PandoraX 11:26, 25 February 2007 (PST)
- Oh, I see :) The locations ones were made by Paul, you'll have to ask him if he has specific plans. He told me he just may change it up from time to time, who knows, maybe random, maybe left as a separate option for users to choose instead of lostbook, who knows. --PandoraX 11:33, 25 February 2007 (PST)
TLE Question
- I have one user (User:Boone) asking me if we already have a chronology of The Lost Experience. By this I assume he means an actual timeline of events, since this user has already expressed interest in timeline issues for the Lost storyline. Could you reply to him? BTW he's our new Russian user, and has been helping me and Leafy a lot on voice actors (and the Russia page). -- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T 01:01, 28 February 2007 (PST)
- Thanks, I am very grateful!

Lostpedia No POE
Hey, I didn't realize you were still actively working on the NOPOE, sorry if I stepped on your edits. I was pulling out some of the first person, just to make the policy more officious sounding. I don't know if it really worked though, so if you'd prefer to revert I promise not to get hurt feelings. ;) -BearDog 15:44, 28 February 2007 (PST)

Deletion/editing summaries
Nick - Sometimes when you make deletions that are I'm guessing policy based rather than just basic editing, it's not obvious why. Not to bog you down with long edit summaries, but some brief clue would be helpful! :-) There have been a couple of times where I was scratching my head, but the most recent example is deleting reference to the flashbacks in the episode summary. Thanks --Jackdavinci 10:11, 2 March 2007 (PST)
Nick - yeah fixing typos or wording or whatever is self evident. It's just when something seems policy or definition based, especially if it's an outright deletion that clarification is helpful. In this case I did put a question on the talk page but it was ignored til today so then I went to your user page to ask. If it's just a matter of being similar to the other episodes, how would you feel about keeping a flashback sentence if I went back and made the other episodes consistant with that? --Jackdavinci 10:29, 2 March 2007 (PST)
Sorry
Sorry Nickb123 I didn't know welcoming new user is bad. Another user just told me.--Nokia (Talk) 10:13, 2 March 2007 (PST)

Fair Use
Now in what way are my pictures violating fair use? I created them and there never was a problem with them before. Princess Dharma (banned)
I do not take it as a personal attack at all I'd like to thank-you for explaining your reasoning behind something unlike others who have refused. Is there someway I could advoid this law and still be able to post the montagesor something similar to them? Princess Dharma (banned)
And the images from Lostmedia are copyrighted? Sigh. Princess Dharma (banned)
Na Screw it. Princess Dharma (banned)
One last question on the topic. Why do the images on your page not convene fair use when they are clearly arranged in a gallery format. Princess Dharma (banned)
You drew the pictures on your page? Fair enough. Princess Dharma (banned)

AA Medal
Can my AA Medal be give to Obi Dan. I am not going to display it anymore for reasons of my own and I think it a shame to let it go to waste. Obi Dan contributed so much to more to the article than I did anyway so I don't see why I had it in the first place. Princess Dharma (banned)

User Talk Archives
Hey there Nick, I was just wondering when and how a user achives his/her talk page. Do you just copy the page and move it to a subdirectory under your username? Or is there a bot that does it (such as on Wikipedia)? Thanks, --Gateboy42 14:57, 7 March 2007 (PST)

Russian
- Sorry Nick, I had asked User:znch to do this Russian transcript for me, and I was going to insert it directly into the article after he emailed it to me. I'll check the transcript to see how that worked out. Spooky's been apparently been talking about getting proper Korean transcriptions for episodes as well, but I don't think we have native speaking users here (whereas we have znch & Boone for Russian). Cheers. -- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T 10:09, 9 March 2007 (PST)
Categorizing Images
Hey there! I'm doing my best to categorize some images with the templates. I have a few queries though... Which template do I give to:
a) Book covers b) Flags c) Mini Images from Portals d) Userpage images or non-related Lost ones?
Thanks a lot, Nick! Can't wait for "Enter 77" tomorrow! Haven't seen it yet! ;) -- Lost Soul talk contribs 23:54, 9 March 2007 (PST)

pod cast stubs
I was looking through the stub pages and i have a question. pod cast stubs is just a summary of the podcast right? and feb.12.2007 seems to be pretty detailed, I was just wondering cause ive done one podcast and im going to start another one tommorrow if feb12's would be concidered a stub? Also there isn't any other place on the site for the summarys besides pod casts where as the pod casts are all put in here, wouldnt that make the summaries kinda confusing to find for ppl who don't wanna have to read through the whole transcript? I can see how a summary can be nessary as ive said ive done one and there is alot of info that someone who was looking for clues or wouldn't care about so shouldnt they be with the transcripts box somewhere??? Just a thought --Jen23md(talk) 18:28, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

Maps
Nick - Are you sure that the Dharma Cabling map is oriented with North in an upwards direction? In all of the pics I've seen, the compass indicator in the upper left corner is either skewed or beneath glare. --Samhain99 11:05, 19 March 2007 (PDT)
When I zoom in on that, it looks more like an M than an N. Do things start to play out better if up on the map is actually a southerly direction? If up is south, then that puts the flame and the barracks back in harmoney with the Blast Door Map.
Looks good now Nick. Great layout. Nice find with the small ? just north of the Swan. The dotted line around the ? in the center of the map also coincides with the dotted notation on the DHARMA Cabling map on the left( the legend ). I've always been under the impression that The Pearl does not equal the ?, and this adds credence to it as well. There are quite a few answers in this theory, including that Kelvin and Radzinsky are not part of the current Others tribe. Can't wait to see the final analysis.
Also, I agree with your conjecture that the Tail section is beyond the scope of the crater image. The tail section is shown in previous shots to break off mid air, but not nessecarily to the south of the Barracks viewpoint. This would make the wreckage on the right side of the image the fuselage and the left side the mid section. This makes sense as there was limited smoke from the tail section crash, as the majority of it landed in the water, while the fuselage produced large amounts of smoke. This would also make sense with the 'hour-run' distance for Goodwin, since the middle section is clearly much further away from the barracks as the fuselage is. Also, before you wonder why there was no search sent to the mid section of the plane. There could be two possabilities. One is that they assumed that crashing in the middle of the jungle meant certain death. The other possability is that the Others wont go into the area where the 'Monster' roams. Discussion for another time though.

Transcripts
Say Nick, I've noticed that we're missing a few transcripts from the past three or so episodes. Was there some sort of issue from that Cost Of Living/Silva transcript problem, or has Spooky just not put them up yet? I'd be more than happy to do the next few episodes. --CastorTroy 06:37, 26 March 2007 (PDT)
Cult Video
my thoughts on the cult video you removed are that whilst it was annoying that Enturbulate over-enthusiastically spammed it, and for some reason seems to think Scientology is a "pressing matter" rather than an oddly fashionable bit of bad pop-psychology. i do think that the video is relevant to the article. though it could be much better placed and explained. I feel there are many resonances between the people in the video and the others. And after all Cults go after people who are Lost your thoughts.
I have copied this message to that annoying Enturbulate person.

i am sorry i just joined. thanks for watching video, and understanding my point about The Others, Being "LOST". if you reading this comment you already why the DHARMA INITIATIVE is bound to the save the world as we know it Enturbulate
Plagiarism tool
- FYI User:Xmuskrat found a great tool to check for plagiarism, so if there's ever a question in the future, we can use Copyscape.com. He had suggested it to to marik & I to check silvastorm's other transcripts, and sure enough, he had plagiarized that one too. At some point we can run through all of our main character and cast article through it. -- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T 13:39, 26 March 2007 (PDT)
Rachel Blake's Cult Film
regarding your issue about this video clip from YouTube. excuse me, mister ADMIN; but how is that clip any more "questionable" or "violent" or "possibly offensive" than LOST ? i am serious, explain to me how that clip is more questionable than Locke's getting pushed out a the story of a buidling ? Regardless, of an explanation or lack of; you made your point. You'll never see me post a link to a YouTube video again. After all, I wouldn't want to force someone to enlighten themselves. "I'm LOST".. "trying to save the world" Enturbulate
- Looks like Enturbulate is trying to troll us without actually vandalizing us... using logical constructs (albeit not community consensus) to look for a ban without explicitly vandalizing the site. The intent to troll is perhaps worse than each individual action. -- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T 04:07, 27 March 2007 (PDT)
Wow
- Hi, I was just looking through your sandbox (don't ask why, I'm just bored ;)), and saw the table you made for putting in the recurring themes section, with the images. It looks awesome! Are you gonna put it on the pages? Regards, -- Lost Soul talk contribs 06:00, 6 April 2007 (PDT)
Monster in White rabbit
Hy, I was just looking trough article Monster, and noticed that it says the monster appeared in "White Rabbit" as a manifestation. This text about White rabbit should be deleted, because we don't know if it is the monster who manifests in humans. User:Jakovexc0
User:Boooobies
Since Lostpedia doesn't like names that could be offensive you might want to ban this guy --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 14:44, 8 April 2007 (PDT)
Recurring Themes
Hi Nick, you're recurring themes box is looking very nice and would look great on the episode articles but on your sandbox from my point of view it's overlapping then recurring themes table. Is this a problem with my screen size considering it is quite small ? DrGiggles 15:54, 8 April 2007 (PDT)
Yeh the pictures towards the end overlap into the box. Great job on the idea it's just i dont want it to affect the way I view lostpedia. If not I'll just have to live with it/get a bigger monitor . DrGiggles 16:00, 8 April 2007 (PDT)
Unfortunately no, however the recurring themes table does fit nicely underneath it if is moved. Don't worry about it too much, it's going a long way to change that just for one person. DrGiggles 16:07, 8 April 2007 (PDT)
Should i screenshot what it actually looked like in the first place ? And all the pictures and table are intact yet in the middle of the text. You are probably alot more confused then what i am. DrGiggles 16:14, 8 April 2007 (PDT)
Just letting you know the box looks fine now. Sorry for your troubles. DrGiggles 04:23, 9 April 2007 (PDT)
Hy
The text I was talking about is still there: Monster>Encounters>White rabbit. It says about manifestation rather then a monster.
Episodes Appearances
- Hey, just wondering what you opinions were on SeanBrown adding "Episode Appearances" to all the characters' bios? I personally think it's unnecessary... as everything should be crossreferenced in the article anyway. I do however think it's good that on the season articles (S1, S2). :) -- Lost Soul talk contribs 03:58, 9 April 2007 (PDT)

Nominate Rewrite's
Hi Nick. How do I nominate a page for a rewrite. I'd go about doing it myself but I'm not exactly a pro on here.Thanks --Joe 06:05, 14 April 2007 (PDT)
- Thanks alot, I'll give that a go. It's the United Kingdom page, I think really it should be split up into key areas such as London, Manchester and Scotland (the areas that have cropped up in the show). I also thought that there could be specific episode references. The content tends to be very good in the article but it could be made a lot easier and relevant to read, at the moment it's just a series of bullet points. --Joe 06:15, 14 April 2007 (PDT)
- Sorry its the 'United Kingdom in Lost' page.
- Great stuff, thanks for your help.
