Deleting talk

Hi Nick. You're not supposed to delete talk pages on LP - even your own. You can make an archive to tidy things away into though if you want to clean up your page. See Lostpedia:User_talk for the reasons behind this policy and how to make your archive. Also, I think there is validity in your The Crossed Out Station article, but as I commented on the talk page, it needs to made relevant to the station and less about the purge. Keep going with it though and with a bit of development, folk should be happy to vote to keep it.--TechNic|talk|conts 08:52, 15 May 2007 (PDT)

Linking

Dude, you really don't need to link every single linkable word in an article. It actually makes things more confusing. So long as the first occurence of a word is linked in a paragraph, that's generally enough. Cheers--TechNic|talk|conts 08:27, 16 May 2007 (PDT)

Everybody Hates Hugo edits

Hi. Please use either my talk page or the talk page for the article in question rather than emailing me directly. That way it keeps discussions about edits to the Wiki out in the open and available for the whole community to see.

But to answer your question "Hey, why did you take off lost of the Recurring themes of the page 'Everyone hates Hugo' where this was good information?", let me explain them one by one:

*The tailies, Michael, Jin & Sawyer enter The Arrow which has a logo with a black & white theme on it(Black and White)

Every DHARMA logo is black and white and if we start referencing every appearance of one as a recurring theme we will run out of space. The logos are referenced on the Black and white page already, but maybe you'd like to add a little more emphasis to their b/w theme on that page.

*When Sawyer gets out of the tigar pit Ana-Lucia throws a rock at him. He then tells her after this 'If you do that again...I'll kill ya' (good and bad people)

The Good and bad people article directly refers to instances of people being described as "good" or "bad" people, rather than people simply exhibiting bad behaviour or threatening each other.

*The tailies, Michael, Jin & Sawyer hide in the Arrow away from the Other (Imprisonment)

The Tailies are hiding. They can leave at any time they choose and are not being held captive. Therefore they are not imprisoned.

*When the Tailies found The Arrow they only stayed in that one room. Why did they not look in other place on in this station? (Fate versus Free will)

I removed this because it is a theory, not a recurring theme. There is nothing to suggest that they didn't fully explore the station or that there was any more to explore. Not only is it a theory, but is has nothing to do with Fate versus free will in the context of that article.

I hope that explains why I removed them. I realise that you are trying to add worthwhile edits to Lostpedia, and I don't want to put you off. I think it would be useful for you to read all the articles considered as Recurring Themes to help better understand their context and conventions. Cheers--TechNic|talk|conts 10:35, 18 May 2007 (PDT)

Yeah can I just reiterate what TechNic has said. Some of your additions this eve have been a bit inappropriate. For example, adding that cause the bag over Kate's head was black its evidence of the recurring theme of black and white, is a bit simplistic. The idea is for direct recognition to recurring themes. Please take care when adding information. Also, please try to watch your spelling and punctuation as I've had to amend about ten of your edits just now. Cheers, --Nickb123 (Talk) 16:25, 19 May 2007 (PDT)

Episode Levels

Hi please don't just add the cat to every article. The idea of it is that only ones which need major work are under the cat, others removed. Also just adding them messes up the cat as you put on the talk page, as you aren't giving them extensions like G, B, Y etc. --Nickb123 (Talk) 10:08, 19 May 2007 (PDT)
