RE: Email trouble

As of yet, I have not recieved the email concerning the events surrounding a person. I have checked my inbox (and my junk email) but I have not recieved anything. Is it possible it could've got Lost in the mail? I am not trying to be intrusive, I am just curious. Could you please resend the email so I can understand some of what went on in the early days? See his talk talk page for a reminder of what I am talking about http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/User_talk:PandoraX Thank you, --Countdown 07:41, 27 June 2007 (PDT)

more parody

credits

In "White Rabbit", could you tell me the name of the character as credited by ABC, that we call Meathead? (The boy that beats up Jack). I ask because the intro line in the article claims that it's only a fan-given name. If true, we should rename to the ABC-credited name. -- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T 00:49, 2 July 2007 (PDT)

Move Logo Contest Pages

Hey Mr.Leaf, this has been bugging me for a while and I figured I'd get your input. Should we add the "Lostpedia:" prefix to all the logo contest related articles, since they aren't really fit for encyclopedia articles? If so I've made a list for you to move.

If not that's fine too. Thanks --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 19:13, 14 July 2007 (PDT)

My Advice

You have been here at Lostpedia less then 2 weeks and I have not had the opportunities I would have liked to get involved in many of the discussions you have started or triggered across the wiki. And for the mean time I don't plan to. However I would like to offer you a small piece of advice. As I've said you are relatively new, that does not mean you inexperienced and does not mean you are dumb or unknowledgable on Lost in anyway (If anything your position and status on wikipedia should prove you to be a very helpful editor and contributer to our wiki) however what that does mean you are unfamiliar with the similarities, the differences between this wiki and wikipedia and the overall spirit of this wiki. I am sure it took you quite a while to build up the respect you have at wikipedia and I commend you for it. It most likely took some time to get used to all the policies and rules and the other users and how things work when you first started over there. You may not remember that but I am sure it did. The same should happen here. Your contributive edits to the actual content (not talk pages) of this wiki are far and few between and seem to be mostly related to copying and cleaning up content or restructuring articles. There is nothing wrong with that but your seemingly endless pursuit to push meaningless topics (yes they are meaningless when compared to the overall scope of this wiki) as compared to that small number of contributive edits indicates your motivation for improving our wiki is not for the right reasons. While this may not be your purpose and you may not agree with this point you have come in here and tried to fix our wiki. You may see yourself as helping out or trying to be a contributive user here but unfortunately before you can fix our wiki you must understand it. And this is what we are asking you, I have seen Santa mention that a couple times. An analogy I will use is the guy who was hired and on his first day at the new job (as soon as he walked in, before he even started working) he told his boss he was doing something wrong. Now how is this man supposed to know he is doing it wrong if he hasn't taken the time to learn why it is done the way it is? If he had spend the first hour doing as he was asked then he might have realized it doesn't work the way he thought it would and that his initial views and opinions were perhaps a bit abrasive and that he was wrong to originally think that he had. Now perhaps he was right, perhaps after that hour of working he had come to the conclusion that the boss really was doing something wrong. Do you think he should still come out and flat out tell the boss off? No, that would likely get him fired. Nicely suggesting it to those in charge after he had taken the time to make sure he was right would have worked better and probably would have had a warmer reception then his initial outburst. Now this may all seem like a bunch of trash and me rambling on about nothing to you but I think if you read the story again you will realize it does have some value and truth in it. I am not asking you to completely give up all your pursuits to change the wiki I am asking you to take the time and edit the wiki and read past talk pages and get to know the sysops a bit better I think aside from what you probably now think we are all pretty nice people. Take some time, cool down on the debated issues, give us some time to cool down on those issues. -Mr.Leaf 16:35, 23 July 2007 (PDT)

Your advice is reasonable, understanding, balanced, and very helpful. I cannot promise that I will stop talking on Talk pages; I think we can all agree that that would cause more harm than good. However, I will make more of an effort to balance my discussions with more substantive edits (though I don't think that 60% Talk page edits is that excessive), and to pace out my proposed changes over longer spans of time so that I don't overwhelm anyone here.
It is indeed true that it takes time to gain a complete understanding of how a Wiki works. However, part of my strategy for gaining that understanding as efficiently as possible was a "rapid immersion" one: by making prominent suggestions and edits, I would quickly learn of, and be able to correct, any misconceptions I was laboring under. To some extent, that has indeed been helpful, but I did not expect to meet with such hostility merely for proposing a major and novel idea in the hopes of stimulating thought-provoking and consensus-forming discussion. As such, I've slowed quite a bit, and stopped making major policy suggestions, since that incident.
I disagree that it is "meaningless" to have article titles that are accessible, consistent, fact-based, and not products of fan-speculation or original research; it is, indeed, a significant benefit to this encyclopedia to not have articles with obscure, unconfirmed names like Eko Tunde or Alexandra Linus or the like. Although I wouldn't call any of my changes earth-shatteringly important, there's a difference between "minor but significant improvements" and "meaningless topics". The vast majority of any wiki's gradual improvements come in small, seemingly minor steps, so we should not scoff at them as "meaningless".
Your boss-employee analogy is a telling one. It is telling because it correctly illustrates that mistakes have been made on both sides: I was too hasty and aggressive in some of my initial suggestions, causing me to alienate sysops like Plkrtn; and in turn, my "boss" perhaps took some of my recommendations for improvement too personally, and launched something of a counter-attack rather than directly seeking peace. But, even if I don't agree with all of your analysis, you seem admirably patient and even-handed, and provide a good example of how all of us should strive to be more calm and agreeable, even when we disagree. -Silence 17:44, 23 July 2007 (PDT)
I am not saying stop using talk pages, by all means go ahead, they are a backbone to a wiki (well a functioning wiki). I think that both you and us started off on the wrong foot when we met. Your initial suggestions were taken sort of in a personal way because well you were a new user (with relatively few edits at the time) trying to in a way undermine what we have spent years working on. I have no problem with small rename nominations here and there but i think the initial idea was possibly taken a bit too quickly, there is a right time for everything and perhaps that was not the best (for either side) however I see and note your willingness to stop the argument as it was not going anywhere and I commend you for that. My employee-boss analogy is by no means all encompassing, i think the only analogy that would fit everything that is happened is the new user/wiki staff analogy but I have a feeling you know that one already. Take your time finding your way around the wiki we still have 6 months to go before we get some real action. And yes my seemingly pointless wording was perhaps a bit harsh, but if you look at it using a visitor's perspective it makes sense. A visitor is honestly not going to care what the page is named (as long as they are reasonable and they are) as long as the content is worth it. If the page is correctly named with poor content it isn't going to do much. The names are important but not as much as other things on the wiki, and I think it is time we all get back to editing what needs editing. Thanks for being so understanding.-Mr.Leaf 18:02, 23 July 2007 (PDT)

My intention was never to undermine your hard work; I merely wanted to bring attention to naming issues so we could come to a solid agreement on it well before the season 4 rush. I probably went about it in the wrong way because I was impatient to get started on the biggest fish, rather than slowly working my way up. I think that most users do care how pages are named: if someone sees that Ben's page is named "Henry Gale" or Alex's named "Alexandra Linus", for example, they could be confused or annoyed. However, it's true that most don't care, for example, whether we name an article Ben Linus or Benjamin Linus; and it;s certainly true that naming policy is less important than having accurate and useful article content. I don't think that makes it irrelevant, though. I think we both understand and agree on all that, though, and I appreciate your voice of reason in this molehill-turned-mountain. If you or anyone else has any suggestions for more substantive contributions (particularly in terms of copyediting) I can make to this wiki, I'd be glad to be of help in anything that needs more urgent work. -Silence 12:18, 24 July 2007 (PDT)

Images

  • First off, I commend you for trying to tag some images, it takes some getting used to. Just a few notes to take into consideration while doing that. If you ever while doing this come across bury or pixelated or incredibly small or incredibly large or poor quality images that are not being used please nominate them for deletion. Also if you notice any duplicates nominate for delete as well. In the delete template just add the reasoning whether it be poor quality or too big, etc and always be sure to add it is unused, you don't need to add a talk page ration for quick deletes such as these. If it is used and is too big or too small or poor quality, etc (you get the picture) add Template:Images To Be Replaced to them so we can get a better image. As I think I've mentioned image tags would also be nice but if you don't know which one goes on add {{Unclassified}}. It makes it easier as we don't have to go through numerous times to try and get everything updated with the images. Thanks again. -Mr.Leaf 14:06, 24 July 2007 (PDT)
  • Thanks, I was hoping for tips like these; it's easier to do all these things at once while going through the images, rather than having to go back to them all. And yeah, I've been adding image tags to all the ones I've categorized so far; I've had to use unclassified for quite a few, though, such as user-made images (can't assume they're free-use unless the user confirms) and The Lost Experience images. -Silence 14:42, 24 July 2007 (PDT)
No problem. Another quick thing I forgot to add is that a couple users took on this task a while ago and did most of the episode articles and main character pages, and a lot the secondary pages and guest stars,etc. So it may not be easy to find images that are no categorized. So I would recommend this page: Special:Uncategorizedimages where there are links to over 1500 images that are not categorized. It was over 3 thousand a while ago so we are working it down. Let me know if you have any questions. -Mr.Leaf 15:32, 24 July 2007 (PDT)
Just letting you know I've taken care of Category:Images of Katherine "Kate" Austen. I've removed all the images from that category and changed to the other and changed to a redirect. If you notice any more cats in need of a serious rename let me know or any more dupe cats. Although with images it doesn't really matter as sometimes it is more work then it's worth to move all the images. -Mr.Leaf 18:50, 24 July 2007 (PDT)
Good work! Then I'll leave it up to you to decide which of these are worth making the merge/move for:
  1. Category:Images of books is redundant to Category:Images of Literary works; the latter is probably better than the former since it's more inclusive and since it corresponds to the Literary works article, but the latter also has a capitalization problem ("Literary" shouldn't be capitalized). I also think a move to Literature may be worth considering for the corresponding article for simplicity's sake, and perhaps a new category, Category:Images of literature, for the same reason. Perhaps a discussion and straw poll on Talk:Literary works?
  2. Category:Images of Tom (Mr. Friendly) is redundant to Category:Images of Tom, the latter of which is the correct title.
  3. Category:Images of Juliet is out-of-date; her full name has been confirmed as Juliet Burke, hence Category:Images of Juliet Burke.
  4. Category:Images of Nikki is out-of-date; her full name has been confirmed as Nikki Fernandez, hence Category:Images of Nikki Fernandez.
  5. Category:Images of Alexandria Linus is fan-speculation (for the last name) and inconsistent with current naming conventions (Alex is the common first name, not Alexandra). However, I could see an argument for not bothering to make a move until s4 is underway, if only because she may have an official last name confirmed that would force us to make a second page-move. Then again, there aren't that many images in the category, and fan-speculation and inaccuracies are a lot more potentially worrisome than mere stylistic variants like the other entries on this list.
  6. Category:Images of Benjamin Linus is (perhaps trivially) inconsistent with his current article name, Ben Linus, making the image category Category:Images of Ben Linus.
  7. Category:Images of Walter "Walt" Lloyd is inconsistent with current naming conventions; the article is now simply "Walt Lloyd", making the image category Category:Images of Walt Lloyd.
  8. Category:Images of Sun Kwon is strangely inconsistent; the full name, used in the article title, is Sun-Hwa Kwon, which would make for Category:Images of Sun-Hwa Kwon, but Jin's full name is used for Category:Images of Jin-Soo Kwon, rather than just "Jin Kwon".
  9. Category:Guest Stars images should be Category:Guest star images, Category:Broadcasters Images should be Category:Broadcaster images, and Category:Vehicles images should be Category:Vehicle images
  10. Category:Images of Merchandise, Category:User Images, Category:Sri Lanka Video Images, Category:Portal Images, Category:Comparison Images, Category:Images of the Listening Station, Category:Fan Edited Images, Category:Images To Be Replaced, and several other categories all have nonstandard capitalization.

Thanks for the welcome, and I am going to try to do the possible thing, but I do not promise anything to him.

DVD

  • Since you and Marik seemed to know about this on forums, is the Amazon Blu-Ray for S3 new news, or old news? Amazon link. I saw Amazon linked from that site Marik mentioned here. If it is new, it's worth the front page probably. -- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T 03:43, 27 July 2007 (PDT)
  • I spoke with our friends over at BuddyTV and they had a new article. Please link this if you write a new news item. I'll write one later today otherwise probably. The Amazon URL looks to be brand new, and genuine. -- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T 12:06, 27 July 2007 (PDT)

Aldo and Isabel dead?

Hey, I noticed you've been making edits saying that they died in the beach raid. Was this confirmed at Comic Con? Thanks --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 14:55, 27 July 2007 (PDT)

Categorising Idea

Does that mean we can go ahead and start doing it? I did a few images earlier with your new (and very awesome) img template, but then realised that now this idea's being discussed, I could be wasting my time. Therefore... how long do we wait? (I'm an impatient child, this much is true...) --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  10:27, 28 July 2007 (PDT)

  • So I do {{img|1x01|Jack|Kate}} or w/e, and, for now, it won't show up as anything, but if the idea gets the thumbs up from enough people (how long will that take??), it'll work? --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  10:33, 28 July 2007 (PDT)

Do you reckon I'm right in thinking its a size issue - the page is so long its glitching out and removing all content --Nickb123 (Talk) 15:44, 28 July 2007 (PDT)
Each archive can take at least forty, I split the Monster one which was 80 into two fine, but couldn't put it all in one --Nickb123 (Talk) 15:47, 28 July 2007 (PDT)
Yeah definitely, especially if its un-revertable without a SysOp, like some users have been saying. Though I think it might be manually revertable, I haven't tested that. I'll look at the Longest Pages thing on Special Pages though to see which articles are too long --Nickb123 (Talk) 15:55, 28 July 2007 (PDT)

Template:Img

I added FF/ff/flashforward/flash-forward to link to Category:Flashforward images which I just created. Is that ok? --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  01:06, 29 July 2007 (PDT)

Learning how to write wiki

Is there any websites and books you would recommend looking at to learn how to write coding such as yours?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Friendlycommunist (talk • contribs) .

Image categories

  • Did you forget to give them the "Category:" namespace? Because, right now, the pages are just Images from 3x09; therefore, if I did {{img|Jack|fb|3x09}}, it comes up as a redlink. If you like I can make all the cats for you and then redirect what you already did to the new cats? --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  00:08, 31 July 2007 (PDT)
    • OK, so, all of the cats are made, from Seasons 1 to 3. Also, I fixed your contribs too, redirecting them to the correct cat. Is that okay with you? Thanks, --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  02:33, 31 July 2007 (PDT)
    • Hey Leafy, I finally took a look, and noticed what Lost Soul was doing too. There's one thing... I believe your Category:Images from 1x01 has template code, because it has embedded code like {{Tv-screenshot}} and [[Category:Images from Season 1|*]]. Did you intend these to be embedded so that they show up on the image page itself? In other words, did you intend to use <includeonly> code inside, for example, Template:Images from 1x01? I tried for a bit but couldn't figure it out. If that didn't make sense, here's another explanation: Did you want the "img" template to automatically add the following to the image page: template "tv-s" and category "Images from Season 1"-- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T 05:14, 31 July 2007 (PDT)
      • How does the new bit of code work? I'm confused? --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  11:48, 31 July 2007 (PDT)
      • Actually nevermind, I guess I misunderstood. You're right it would cause some problems, because promotional stills from an episode would have double templates: "tv-s" AND "promo". I just misunderstood what was going on, or why those cats were on the cats.-- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T 15:18, 31 July 2007 (PDT)

Locations: seasons colours

Hi Mr.Leaf, I'd appreciate your opinion about something. I've been thinking about two possible changes to the colours used for identifying Lost seasons in Portal:Locations. Currently, seasons are identified by the addition of big coloured lines on top of each entry. IMO, that's ugly, and it gets even uglier when two or three bars are piled upon each other (for example, the entries for "hatch" or "garden"). The first change could be the colours. I'm thinking of replacing the current random dark colours with the colours of the DVD boxes for each season. The second change would be getting rid of the coloured bars, which are way too big and are really not useful. I'm thinking of replacing them with much less obtrusive small colour squares. (Of course, we don't even need a colour code for seasons, we could just type "Seasons: 1, 2, 3" in the entries, but keeping a touch of colour is fine.) Please take a look at the bottom of my user page, where I placed an example with the entry for "garden". The first box (with the big bars on top) is the current format. The second box (with the small squares) is an example of the new look I'm proposing. Please tell me what you think... comments, ideas, changes... ? Thanks. -- Cheers (talk) 21:20, 1 August 2007 (PDT)

rewatch

More About Images

  • OK, so, as we now have Category:Images from 1x01 etc, I feel we should actually put a link to the cat on the article pages. We can do this in one of two ways, IMO:
  1. We put an "Images" link in the infobox, as we do for the character pages.
  2. We put this at the bottom of the article, in see also: For images from this episode, see Category:Images from 1x01 or whatever.

What do you think? --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  05:09, 3 August 2007 (PDT)


Re:Comic Con

Yeah I've added the extra bits and moved the page under the podcast pagename. I was wondering though, I seem to remember you mentioning the Season 3 deleted scene bit that played at the start of the Q&A session - could you clear up who said what under the podcast transcript? I didn't know e.g. which was Adam and which was Eddie when they chat about Jason and Luke etc, so had to just call them "unknown man 1+2". Also, someone said MC was speaking, but it sounded to me more like Ryan Pryce?! Could you correct my mistakes if you have a free min? Cheers, --Nickb123 (Talk) 07:20, 3 August 2007 (PDT)

Hey hope ya had a nice time off --Nickb123 (Talk) 11:27, 20 August 2007 (PDT)

Bug?

template: img

  • I have another proposal regarding the new image template: On the special page "Upload file" there is a text saying:
“
Please place a copyright template in the summary field during upload. Some examples include: {{tv-screenshot}} and {{promotional}}.
If you add an image with a watermark, please add {{Images To Be Replaced}} as well as {{Tv-screenshot}}.
”

I think instead of this, we should add a link to the new image template and/or add some example - sth like this:

“
When you upload pictures to Lostpedia, please make sure you use the new image template with which you help us categorize the images by episode and put them in different categories. The main categories are:
  1. Episode (1x15, 2x07, 3x22)
  2. Copyright; make sure you use the variable copy ("tvs" for TV screenshots, "promo" for promotional images)
  3. Characters included in the picture (Jack, Kate, "Others" for The Others, etc)
  4. Special categories (rain, fire, guns, games, death, Island, Korea, Nigeria, "FB" for an image from a flashback, "FF" for flashforward, etc)

Here is an example:
{{img|2x16|copy=promo|Kate|Jack}}

However you cannot add more than 5 categories in one template. If there are more than 5, use the template once again. Example:

{{img|3x22|copy=tvs|Jin|Bernard|Tom}}

I'm sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker, so I don't know if the usage is correct. Anyway, let me know if you like it or if you need any help improving it. Later, --   Steff    talk    contribs    email   14:40, 26 August 2007 (PDT)

Show/hide Box Template

As I said on LP-FR:

You'll need to add some new style definitions into, say, MediaWiki:Common.css, that will enable the kind of show/hide box you want. As you can see on our common.css stylesheet, Culigan added the required definitions (the ones in the "ESSAI DE BOITES DEROULANTES" section, containing "Nav-" or "Boxen-"). Then simply use our template, that should work. -- SGC.Alex 09:36, 27 August 2007 (PDT)

Re: Images

Sure. Sorry :) •97198 talk•contribs 00:10, 30 August 2007 (PDT)

Okay, I didn't know about the rule. The only reason I didn't get a pic with Michael on it was because Lost-Media is the only place I know to get promo images, and they didn't have any of Michael from Adrift. --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 04:11, 30 August 2007 (PDT)

Thanks for the help

I'll check out the job list and thanks for the help with the sig. It works now. --scocub 13:31, 30 August 2007 (PDT)

User Page

Hey Ted, as you have the most snazziest user page around here, i just wanted to see if you could help. Basically on my userpage I find it hard to place things where i want them, like the boxes on my page overlap with the infobox. Could you give me any advice on how to fix this? (Or, if easier for you than explaining, you have permission to edit my user page.) --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 14:52, 6 September 2007 (PDT)

Thank you very much :D --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 18:13, 6 September 2007 (PDT)

Pandora Banning

Hello, Mr. Leaf. I've been here for nearly a year now and noticed something just now that shocked me. You've probaly had to answer this question a million times but, What happened to User:PandoraX? He (or she, not sure) has been here since the beginning and It was really shocking to me when he/she was banned! Could you give me some more information regarding this "Security Threat" something or other? I'd really appretiate it. Thanks, -- Iron Man  Send a message  View contributions  16:46, 9 September 2007 (PDT)

Theory Responses

I only just got the three messages sent to me about proper ways to respond to theories. I am sorry that I was doing this improperly, and that I did so such a large number of times. Can you please explain to me what type of response/rebuttal is appropriate to post on the actual theory page, and what type is only appropriate for the Talk page?--Goodyfresh 19:14, 9 September 2007 (PDT)

new templates

All of the new templates I've created are useless, except for the one named "Geo". You can delete the rest, and I will explain how to use the geo template.

new suggestion for fire and water

can you check out its talk page: Talk:Fire ± Water or just take a look at these:

barracks

what is wrong with the barracks talk page? i had the idea that since the sonar fence has been moved to it's own article it is just confusing to have in the main talk page. So is archived it (which you introduced me to) in the same fasion as the talk for otherville (which is on the same page). --Connor401 14:02, 14 September 2007 (PDT)

RE:Spanish Lostpedia

Thank you, man, but I already copied my message to Admin and he didn't answer me, then I contacted Nickb123 because he was a former SysOp in the Spanish Lostpedia, or at least that's what I read in his profile. I hope this time Admin will be able to help me, or at least he will give me a brief answer. Thank you all.

Calick

Methinks you mean GodEmperorOfHell, I was never a Spanish SysOp. --Nickb123 (Talk) 14:00, 17 September 2007 (PDT)

Oh yeah?

What is a sockpuppet? And I have no idea who Dow Lord is? --Jigsaw 05:15, 18 September 2007 (PDT)

Slow

Wow lostpedia has been real slow the last couple of days hope it kicks back up soon.--SAGE18 14:52, 19 September 2007 (PDT)

Today in Lost History

On the main page, Today in Lost History, is behind a day. Not sure if this falls under your "jurisdiction", but it seems logical to tell you. As I type this, it's 11:23 PM in US Central time zone, meaning nowhere in the world is on the day Sept. 29 (either Sept. 30 or Oct. 1), but today in Lost History is displaying events from Sept. 29. Thought you should know so you can fix it. David 21:30, 30 September 2007 (PDT)

Woops

Hey, dont know what the hell is going on, i tried making edits to the bloopers and continuity page earlier and it just deleted everything, and no matter what i tried, if i tried to put the whole thing back in it would just disapear when i tried to save it! Dont ban me!! --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 05:09, 1 October 2007 (PDT)

Thanks

Well, now Today in Lost History seems to be fixed. Perhaps it was just my computer. Thanks for clearing it up though. If it happens again, I'll try your recommendation (I haven't yet--it fixed on its own), and if I still have problems I'll post here. Once again, thanks. David 17:58, 1 October 2007 (PDT)

What?

Dow lord is not my sockpuppet. He is a separate account that i do not control. We are freinds and he talks on his own. --Jigsaw 05:18, 3 October 2007 (PDT)

  • When you have a chance, could you check these edits? I rolled one, but was not sure what we are interpreting with this issue so I stopped there. [1], [2], [3]. -- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T 14:37, 7 October 2007 (PDT)
