thanks

Thanks for your recent help on the List of websites article. It's one of those articles that needs to be continually updated, and your efforts are appreciated. Thank you. -- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T00:46, 8 October 2006 (PDT)

  • oh it's you fizban! Good to see you here! -- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T17:17, 11 October 2006 (PDT)

Sig

Hey I think you're currently experiencing a glitch that occurs on Lostpedia with customised signatures. Even though you've, rightly, done a /sig extension on your user, the whole formula is still appearing when you sign on talk pages. To rectify this, simply put {{User:Paladine/sig}} here: User:Paladine/autosig. Then, under your preferences, set your nickname to {{User:Paladine/autosig}}. This should then fix the problem :-) --Nickb123 (Talk) 11:51, 8 October 2006 (PDT)

Yep, fixed! --Nickb123 (Talk) 12:01, 8 October 2006 (PDT)

Transcripts

Hey, Paladine. Please don't take too many liberties with the transcripts (aside from typo correction), as in changing the format and stage cues, etc. Spooky will probably leave a note about this soon, but she has it a certain standard way for a reason, and wants to keep it standardized across sites, and it is a great priviledge to have her countless hours of work transcribing in the first place. I'm probably going to ask for page protection on these pages for that reason, but just dropping you a note. I know you mean well, but I think the transcript pages are a specific case where less editing is better... mostly because as the disclaimer says, the transcripts are "one person's subjective experience of Lost". --PandoraX 21:43, 11 October 2006 (PDT)


Yes

I see, I'll get to work on it. --Ironman 09:22, 12 October 2006 (PDT)

Removal of lostblog.net link

Why did you remove the link to Lostblog.net under List of sites > Information? Just because the site is named "The Lost Blog" that doesn't mean that it's more of a blog than many of the other sites listed under Information.

You state that the link was removed because it was a duplicate link. Then what about AndFound.com which is linked under both Information and Blogs? Or Lost-Media which is linked under both Information and Media?

Wouldn't it be better to merge all three lists into Information and remove all the duplicates? If not I expect that you re-insert the link to The Lost Blog under Information because that's where it should be.

Regards, Andreas

Banned

  • For the template use {{Template:Banned}} instead of [[template:Banned]]. Shit never mind I see what you are doing.--CaptainInsano

Thanks!

Hey man, thank's for telling me about my signiture. If you ever see any other mistakes just let me know on my talk page. Thank's ! --James W. 21:48, 13 October 2006 (PDT)

  • Okay, I think I've got it fixed. If it ever happens again just let me know. Thank's! --James W. 21:50, 13 October 2006 (PDT)

Hey Palandine

Hi there, I see that Pan already reverted the scripts back to my original version. I just wanted you to know that I appreciate your efforts and enthusiam, and I too, know that you mean well. After doing the transcripts for two seasons and getting lots of feedback, though, I think I've come up with a format that works for the majority of users. It's tough to keep the balance between folks that have already seen the show and just want dialogue, and people who are reading the transcripts before they see the show (many foreign viewers) who need more visual cues; but I think I've come up with something pretty workable for everyone. Plus, I'm trying to keep the transcripts the same on 3 different sites, so lots of changes are too hard to keep up with. Thanks for your attention, though, and keep keeping me on my toes. --Spooky 02:06, 14 October 2006 (PDT)

Thanks

Paladine, I must be smoking crack in my sleep! Of course, you're not the person who changed the transcripts. My sincere apologies for the mixup. --Spooky 07:50, 16 October 2006 (PDT)

Fwd: Another Template Idea

Ive got another one people. This time its not a joke like the "bob" one. The picture may be changed, but just tell me how you like the "Idea" of the template. Thanks -- Iron Man  Send a message  View contributions  10:01, 16 October 2006 (PDT)

P.S: Here is the link: Template:Inactive


Thanks for feedback

I welcome all opinions. I messaged you to get your personal opinion as to weather this would be useful or not. Thanks for your honesty. Namaste -- Iron Man  Send a message  View contributions  17:11, 16 October 2006 (PDT)

Re: Renaming Articles

Well it isn't exactly fair that only SysOps can move pages, considering moving pages on Wikipedia is open to everyone. --SilvaStorm

And it looks like another Sysop beat me to your request... --Jajasoon 17:48, 18 October 2006 (PDT)

Image Categories

Hey, can you add

All images © 2004 - 2006 ABC Television/Touchstone Television Images are categorized for easy reference only. {{Tv-screenshot}}

To the categories for images please. Just keeps us safe from accusations! -- Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  13:21, 19 October 2006 (PDT)

Yes, the TV screenshot template should be on Sri Lanka videos too. Different delivery medium, same concept! -- Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  15:53, 19 October 2006 (PDT)

High Resolution Images

Can you please avoid uploading high resolution images. If you wish to use the image, scale it down using an image manipulation program. Thank you. -- Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  07:36, 25 October 2006 (PDT)

one or the other

c'mon... a consensus on {{stub-x}} or {{x-stub}} is desirable. i'd pick the former cos it fits with the standard {{stub}}. thoughts? --kaini. 20:25, 26 October 2006 (PDT)

okay, i buy that. moving the ones i've created accordingly. --kaini. 20:29, 26 October 2006 (PDT)
agreed. --kaini. 20:55, 26 October 2006 (PDT)
also; rather you than me! that's quite a big task, props. i'm still absorbing Every Man for Himself! --kaini. 20:58, 26 October 2006 (PDT)
  • Good work on the stub types, Fiz! -- C¯ _Santa_ ¯T21:18, 26 October 2006 (PDT)
  • actually... for taking on a truly daunting task, i'd like to send a hard work medal in your general direction. cat tasks like this are tedious and time-intensive but are the sort of things that really help shape this wiki. major kudos. move to your user page at your leisure, if you like. --kaini. 21:29, 26 October 2006 (PDT)
    • and now i notice an inconsistency in old/new medal templates... damn. best leave as it is for now though. it never ends :P --kaini. 21:45, 26 October 2006 (PDT)
you're doing some amazing stuff round here lately with templates and cats. you get my vote for best newish editor ever; major props! --kaini. 21:57, 28 October 2006 (PDT)

NonCanon Template

I removed the stubs warning, but not sure I understand why it was there to begin with, so I said someone else could readd it if they knew. Do you have any idea? --PandoraX 10:25, 28 October 2006 (PDT)

Ah, thanks. Guess we are changing templates? Hard to keep track... --PandoraX 10:29, 28 October 2006 (PDT)

Thank you!

Thanks for reminding me of a very handy tip, which I always seem to forget :) --NomadOfArabia 20:09, 29 October 2006 (PST)

Question

Sorry to bother you, but I wonder if you can help with a problem. I was starting to work on the Hieroglyphs article, nominated for a rewrite, when I noticed that it has a different page form, such that there is no links or ads at all around it..If you are met with this problem too at accessing it, can you please guide me on how to fix it ?

Thanks a lot --NomadOfArabia 21:05, 29 October 2006 (PST)

    • Nevermind, it seems solved now. Thanks--NomadOfArabia 21:44, 29 October 2006 (PST)

Re:Sig

Thanks for the tip-- 06:02, 30 October 2006 (PST)

The Underworld

Hi paladine. I am currently working on the Hieroglyphs page, in which I found the "Underworld" to be a basic point, so I created the page, labeling it as a stub, aiming to expand on it later today. I was not simply adding the line I had there and leaving :) However, I noticed that you deleted it ? I believe the Underworld is a strong theme in Lost (my openion) which I haven't found a page dedicated for so far. I do not know if the reason for deletion was lack of content (which I was intending to add) or duplication, in which case please point me to the original page, to use in links. I also noticed that some similar themes are currently available, including Redemption with no much content, yet was not deleted...Thanks-- 16:45, 31 October 2006 (PST)

no problem. I'll recreate it tomorrow, and add info on what content to expect on both the main and the talk page. I'll also post here a comment when I do, for empahsis. Now I gtg, c u around-- 17:39, 31 October 2006 (PST)

AA starting...?

Hi. Do you know when is it set to start ? After all, our good debate doesn't mean I wouldn't like being awarded :) -- 22:35, 31 October 2006 (PST)

who are you really?

Is this Keith from CT? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jasoncarubia (talk • contribs) .

Reverting Edits

Hello Paladine, I saw that earlier you reverted edits by the guy who was saying that Charlie and Jack were "hot", and that you used the "Reverted edits by _____, restored to last version by ______". My question is, how do you do the automatic revert? Thanks, --Marik7772003 12:32, 2 November 2006 (PST)

Thanks. --Marik7772003 12:49, 2 November 2006 (PST)

For some reason, it works on Wikipedia, but not on Lostpedia. Any ideas? --Marik7772003 19:34, 2 November 2006 (PST)

It looks like this: 

 http://*lostpedia.com/index.php?title=*&action=history

Is this correct? If not, could you give how it is supposed to look? Much appreciated. --Marik7772003 20:42, 2 November 2006 (PST)

Great! Thanks so much for all your help! You've been a life-saver. --Marik7772003 20:50, 2 November 2006 (PST)


Why are yot deliting

what is the reason for deleting [[lost ending theories.]]Redacejr2 06:25, 10 November 2006 (PST)

I will post a reply on your talk page momentarily --Nickb123 (Talk) 06:43, 10 November 2006 (PST)

New Theory Policy

  • I like your rewrite, it's shorter and to the point. The problem, as always, is getting people who really should be reading it to read it. But at any rate, I agree with what's on there. In the end, I think if theories get moved to their own pages, it'll be hard to enforce any rules, because there won't be as many people interested in keeping the sections clean.. at least that's my personal feeling (I just have minimal to no interest in it myself) --PandoraX 16:33, 12 November 2006 (PST)

RE: Sig

Thanks for letting me know. Is it better now? (I can't see any difference) --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  12:34, 15 November 2006 (PST)
