You've been promoted to SysOp!

Hi GodEmperorOfHell,

Thanks for doing so much work around here! I've promoted you to sysop. You'll have the more rights when it comes to banning abusive users and editing protected pages.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks again! --Admin 00:31, 28 January 2006 (PST)

FYI -

Thanks for blocking that user "70.68.38.". I went ahead and banned his whole subnet. Whenever I see a sysop block someone I add them to the server's master block list. It helps us deal with idiots like "Bob" ;)

Thanks! --Admin 15:16, 29 January 2006 (PST)

Season Two TOC

How's it looking? Any suggestions? I don't wanna be stepping on anyone's toes, just let me know what kinda stuff needs cleaned up, and I'll do what I can. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 18:44, 4 February 2006 (PST)

Hmmm... It seems you guys have just been cutting and pasting the entries for the episodes straight from Wikipedia. That should really be cleaned up a bit. What I'd like to try is maybe a "Episode at a glance" section at the top of each main article, with the main happenings/mysteries solved/mysteries opened in bullet point form, and then a paragraph or two condenced synopsis on the episode. Then at the bottom a link to the Wikipedia entry, or something. I'll leave it with you for a while, and I'll check back in later. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 19:00, 4 February 2006 (PST)

Formatting

I didn't know anything before going to the HRWiki, everything I've learned about MediaWiki has been from a few of the guys there. The admins there are really brilliant, they're all computer programmers and whatnot. They did most of the formatting there, and I just copied all the tricks from them. I'm not gonna be on for the rest of today, but I'll try and swing by tomorrow to figure out some of the formatting for the seasons. I'm thinking it'd be kinda handy to set up at the bottom of the episodes point form sections like this:

(Sample for "What Kate Did"

Questions

Questions Answered

  • Kate was a fugitive for killing her Father.

Questions Expanded

  • Using the computer to contact the outside world started the "incident" at the Hatch.

Questions Started

  • What's with the black horse?
  • Is Walt really talking from the other side of the computer, and where is it?

That's just a rough sketch, what do you think? ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 16:48, 6 February 2006 (PST)

It's great! It will distance us a big deal from the Wikipedia entries and it will give us identity! as you see, i copied a trick from you and tweaked it up a bit. hope you don'tmind ;) Well, too busy here in the desert of the real. hope I can help with the mammoth project of redesigning the whole thing. †††GodEmperorOfHell††† 18:11, 6 February 2006 (PST)~~

Nice work with the news!

I love that the front page gets updated daily. It really makes the site more interesting! Thanks again for all your efforts. --Admin 23:47, 7 February 2006 (PST)

Nice work with Timeline

Great additions to the Timeline page - it's a lot more fleshed out now! --Joseph 20:22, 20 February 2006 (PST)

Redo your deletion

of the Delta Park hahaha page. I was editing it to point it out to admins. My save came 1sec after your deletion.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 20:15, 1 March 2006 (PST)

Stubs

Hi. Sorry for missing out categorizing and stubbing my new articles. But I got a question. While some of the articles are really short (thus "stub"), they do not really need expansion at the moment - why is a stub at the same time displaying a note on "please help us...". It distracts me. Like Psalm 144 - it's just displaying the Psalm, but since it had only a marginal appearance in the show, there is not more to say to it, is it?

Blocks, Vandalism and reverts

Hi.

Just want to encourage the Admins/Sysops again to force a registration with validation of email adress for people who want to edit articles (For talk/discussion, it's ok to be unregistered). It would prevent a lot of this spamming. Blocks are 99% useless, I think, since many people use dynamic IPs. They help only if someone is active at that moment.

Also I'd like to ask, if there is a simple revert function (like there is one for images). Something where you just say "revert to last version" and it's done. Maybe I'm just to blind to see it...

--aurora glacialis 12:52, 5 March 2006 (PST)

I have read somewhere ([1]) in the discussions about a link to change wiki to accept edits to articles only from reg. users, while still allowing everyone to edit discussions.... --aurora glacialis 06:11, 6 March 2006 (PST)

Re: Vandal:220.238.84.188

Sure! But I'm not sure what the commentary field is? The summary field? :-) --Jambalaya 03:40, 9 March 2006 (PST)

fnord

any friend of stang's is a friend of mine :)

this Bob-thingy is getting ridiculous

Is there no way to prevent this. He took down about 40-60 pages today and most are still out right now. I think the Admins should require registration with a valid email address before someone can edit articles. Maybe also blacklist email providers that are known to be too easy to give out new email addresses. Or maybe there is a function to prevent long articles to be shortened to only 2 lines ? This would at least stop some of the destructive Vandalism... I don't know enough about Wiki, but this "Bob" is really ridiculous. --aurora glacialis 11:24, 11 March 2006 (PST)

In addition to blocking Bobble Bath, all of his edits need to be reverted. List of Bobble Bath's Changes
   Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 11:32, 11 March 2006 (PST)

Yes - and also the changes "Bob " made before calling himself that... It's a lot. Can only be done by an Admin, who can easily revert changes, otherwise it's the work of an hour... --aurora glacialis 11:36, 11 March 2006 (PST)

Is white listing possible? Big enough ip mask and if it creates problems for 'legitimate users', white list them. Might be easier. --skks 08:55, 12 March 2006 (PST)

If there's a pattern in the IP-adresses that Bob use, block the whole subnet for some time.. --Jambalaya 07:02, 13 March 2006 (PST)

Non-Canon typo

Just a tiny one, it says 'oficially' when it should say 'officially'. --skks 01:35, 21 March 2006 (PST)

Blocking Your Bans

Hello GEOH,

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I have been firewalling off the whole class C networks of anyone that you add to the Lostpedia ban list. Any IPs that you block, I consider to be candidates for a complete class C banning.

Keep up the great work, We're blocking more of these spammers all the time. I'll try to find a better long term solution (short of actually hacking the media wiki software, which has been suggested by some).

Thanks, --Admin 03:00, 21 March 2006 (PST)


bob attack

the bobs are attacking again and I'm helping you block them. How can we stop them? -- Novajoe23 08:52, 23 March 2006 (PST)

Nice message.

I liked your message on the Main Page. it seems like It didn't stop him, because he posted his usual shit on YOUR talk page. This is getting out of hand. -- Novajoe23 07:48, 24 March 2006 (PST)

Message from Bob

Two things you should bear in mind:

I never claimed to be Oliver Mitchell, nor did I say that the photo was either a) Me nor indeed b) Oliver Mitchell.

Continue using at your own risk - ain't me who'll be sued for slander! 137.148.5.13 10:04, 24 March 2006 (PST)

News

This is big news for those out of the country that want to legally watch Lost: Disney to Make 4 ABC Shows Free Online . I'm not sure what the extent or quality of it will be.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 08:04, 10 April 2006 (PDT)

interesting news.. assuming its not april 1st news.

which it is.. doh!

Cute.. it had me going.

"Lost" Faces Economic Cutbacks http://www.darkhorizons.com/news06/060401a.php

lost.wikia.com & bob

I posted some comments for JackAttack over at that wiki. I think bob may have moved on since we have most of his subnets blocked out now.

   Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   10:42, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

Make sure someone checks back later tonight though. He might just be waiting for a time when he thinks no admin is around (like he seemed to do last Friday). --Jmast7 11:48, 7 April 2006 (PDT)


Redirecting to Categories

Redirecting to categories doesn't work right with this version of MediaWiki. You'll get to the article page for the category, but none of the items for the category will be displayed. I believe it is fixed in the 1.6 release of MediaWiki.

irish airdates

you might want to note on the main page that next monday's episode in ireland is a double bill - the clipshow, followed by the excellent 23rd psalm. --kaini 17:59, 11 April 2006 (PDT)

Faith Harrington

Is this still a stub? I think it's got enough info, and we should remove that thing on the Main Page. Now we need info on Dexter Cross and Jeff Hadley, the protagonists of the other two novels. -- Novajoe23 08:46, 13 April 2006 (PDT)

Jeff Hadley

It looks like someone already put in info for Jeff Hadley. Now all we need is Dexter Cross. -- Novajoe23 15:35, 13 April 2006 (PDT)

Main Page

Bad Twin isn't even out yet. It comes out May 2nd. There's no way anyone could add info for Paul Artisan. -- Novajoe23 13:13, 14 April 2006 (PDT)
