Hey Dharmatel4, thank you for your hard work on The Island article. In recognition, you win the AAA medal for your efforts. Well done, you deserve it. Feel free to move this to your main userpage if you want. Regards, --Nickb123 (Talk) 15:16, 18 March 2007 (PDT)
Ben's Maps 
Edit
Don't know how much detail you are looking for on discrepancy for the Radio tower, but please let me prove myself as I am fairly new to Wiki posting. I was just watching this last episode again and noticed the differences and I searched whether Ben's Map discrepancy had been noted and I couldn't find anything on it, so this looked to be the best/easiest place to post it. Thanks for your continued feedback. --Sirwesley 14:52, 13 January 2008 (PST)
Trivia Edit
Thanks for the answer there at the Greatest Hits discussion. I was actually more interested in knowing what constitutes trivia and what not. I wrote there about a possible understanding of it, but still not sure. Also, Redshirt and Background cast have been revised after the discussion. -. Grillage .- 01:46, 22 May 2007 (PDT)
The Fence Edit
All the tech stuff in Lostepedia is slightly confusing so forgive me if you're not the person who changed it - I was looking through the history to find out who deleted my theory which was 'The Others have no control over the security system on the Island. The fence is an electromagnetic barrier which prevents the smoke monster from entering their camp.' To my understanding Oedipus then wrote that it cannot be electromagnetic becuase it would be SBD (which it is but sure) either way Oedipus suggested sonic barrier. Whether or not it's a sonic barrier or electromagnetic fence, I thought the idea that it was used to keep the monster out was a good one especially now considering Left Behind. So I was wondring why it was removed. --Obee
Unanswered question on "One of Us" Edit
Yes, but the question the episode brings up, the way I put it there, is: why the hell would they be interested in doing so? Why anticipate Ben's future request for that? If a plane crashes on an island I'm living in, one of the things I'm not worried about at all is getting data from everybody inside for possible manipulation purposes. I'll leave it up to you to get the question back there, but look how it was formulated: "When Ben asks Mikhail for "detailed files on every single passenger", why were their people already working on getting that - meaning, what would be their interest in doing so, and in advance?" - -. Grillage .- 23:23, 13 April 2007 (PDT)
- I'm gonna quote your answer just to show my point: "Mikhail anticipated what Ben was going to want before Ben got there and started on it." - yes... but why the hell would they want to do it (Ben, Mikhail and everybody else)?? I think it goes the way I told you before: I for sure wouldn't be worried about "getting information about the people on the plane". So why Ben, Mikhail and everybody else would be? - -. Grillage .- 23:40, 13 April 2007 (PDT)
- Or, let's put it this way: ok, Mikhail simply anticipated Ben's request. But think one step deeper, before accepting that: why would he anticipate that? What are their intentions on getting info on those people, instead of, say, checking for survivors, helping them, knowing what caused the crash, phoning their families, etc? This is actually one of the questions the Losties should be asking the Others (and they never do): "why are you guys interested in screwing with us and getting our profiles, instead of freakin' helping these plane crash survivors?" - -. Grillage .- 23:49, 13 April 2007 (PDT)
- Yes, that was the intention. I may have put it in an awkward way, while trying to make its relation to the specifics of the episode. I'm not a native English-speaker, you know... - -. Grillage .- 23:51, 13 April 2007 (PDT)
- Please, check the last question there, see if it makes sense now. - -. Grillage .- 23:55, 13 April 2007 (PDT)

Thanks and Good JobEdit
A lot of changes to the timeline while I was away. Thanks for conferring with me first and I'm sorry I took so long to get back to you. I have looked it over and everything fits very nicely now, well done. We'll just see how long before the writers throw everything out of whack again. --Ithor6 13:52, 2 May 2007 (PDT)
Thanks and contact Edit
Hi, thank you for the help with the language. Can I contact you somehow via instant messenger? I would like to talk to someone who is as enthusiastic as me about Lost... --Prolinesurfer 15:13, 11 May 2007 (PDT)
LOST: Answers Edit
Thanks for the sleuthing work. I'll drop a note in the article saying that the physical effects are curently unexplained and leave it saying that avionics failure wouldn't cause a break-up (as currently). Cheers, --Scottkj 19:50, 23 May 2007 (PDT)
Hostiles background Edit
Aren't they already up there in Others background? I wanted to catch you before you get too far... -- Graft talk contributions 20:24, 16 December 2007 (PST)
Yeah, no problem. Although, some of your Blu-ray caps might be worth using if they are higher resolution, seeing as how many of those are just quick out-of-focus shots. -- Graft talk contributions 20:38, 16 December 2007 (PST)
Blu-Ray capturesEdit
- Hey, thanks for getting the names of all those DHARMA Members from the dvd screencaps. I was wondering if you can look to see if Dharma Rep. 1's name tag is visible on the dvd version and if you can get a good screencap of it, thanks. -Mr.Leaf 19:54, 29 December 2007 (PST)
- Hello, I was wondering if any other of the maps and schematics shown in the "Blu-Prints" section would be useful for articles here? I saw the Barracks one, and it seemed very good (though it's not on the article), and I wondered if you thought the others would be good for the wiki?
I was also wondering, since I can't remember too well, if there are any images in the "seamless menus" that illustrate the locations better than pictures we have. Not too sure, and I'll look at the menus to see if there is one I think would illustrate the location better, but if you know of any I think it might be a good idea to upload them and put them in their article.
Thank you, I'm just very curious about it, even if there aren't any menus or Blu-Prints that serve the purpose we want them to, then at least we'll know for sure and won't have that hanging around. --Sauron18 16:47, 2 March 2008 (PST)
Naomi's death Edit
What do you mean by "spoiler hint edits"? How has Naomi's death been confirmed?--Bonefishj0e 20:05, 12 January 2008 (PST)
JacobEdit
- Just out of curiosity, why did you delete all of the unanswered questions on Jacob? I'll agree there were a lot and it needed trimmed, but I don't think they all had to go. --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 21:14, 30 January 2008 (PST)
- Aha! Ok cool. --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 21:22, 30 January 2008 (PST)

Future Dates Edit
If no future dates are allowed on the timeline, why is there space for January 2005? Seriously, deleting a date 24 hours before it occurs in the show is a little much. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jackdutton42 (talk • contribs) 07:51, 13 February 2008.
Didn't Mean To Delete Those Edit
I didn't mean to delete those entries regarding the Unanswered Questions in the Brig. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Frink (talk • contribs) 00:09, 5 March 2008.
Why did you delete my Walkabout Question? Edit
You told me "You need to edit these questions more carefully" yet you deleted one of my questions in Walkabout with no reason, you seemed to undo a lot of my posts without putting a reason. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Frink (talk • contribs) 00:32, 5 March 2008.

Lostpedia:Requests for page protection Edit
Hi. Do you think you could look into the two requests I left here? One of them has been there a couple of days with no response. Thanks – jj137 (talk) 17:34, 13 April 2008 (PDT)
- OK, I didn't know that. On Template:Season4nav, could you change "Episode 9" to "The Shape of Things to Come"? – jj137 (talk) 17:59, 13 April 2008 (PDT)
An Idea I had? Edit
- Would you mind going and checking it out at Lostpedia:Ideas#Interviews? I'd really appreciate your input! :D Thank you very much,-- Lost Soul talk contribs 07:56, 14 April 2008 (PDT)
- Okay, thank you very much. Let's say, for sake of example, it's Michael Giacchino that's being interviewed. I would probably set up a page called Interview:Michael Giacchino. Then, on the talk page, I would post a brief little description of how and when it was going to be happening, and then give our members a chance to submit questions. They'd probably have a week to do that - I'd also do the same thing on the forums, where I am more active. The interview itself will probably either be done by email (i.e. I email the questions, he emails them back), or IM if he has it. I plan (if I get the go-ahead) to ask people like Jorge Garcia, Henry Ian Cusick, and then some members of the writing team, past and present, such as David Fury, as well as perhaps the director of photography, Cort Fey. But that's way in the future. Incidentally, how many votes do you need at Lostpedia:Ideas for an idea to get the go ahead?-- Lost Soul talk contribs 00:27, 17 April 2008 (PDT)
- Ok, excellent. I made User:Lost Soul/interview and User talk:Lost Soul/interview as a sort of template. I'm going to email Michael today, and see what he says - I doubt he'll agree, being so busy and all, but you never know, I could get lucky! Thanks for all your support!-- Lost Soul talk contribs 00:27, 17 April 2008 (PDT)

Vandalism Edit
Thanks Dharmatel. It's weird, because there's usually at least one of you guys around, but today has been very quiet. And either IRC chat is broken, or else my Java update from Sun the other day has screwed something up. Cheers--TechNic|talk|conts 17:04, 21 April 2008 (PDT)
- Yeah I'm glad that was sorted out. Looks like one of 'em didn't like my delete vote...--Baker1000 17:37, 21 April 2008 (PDT)
Hi Dharmatel, User:Tvlbigred has repeatedly been vandalizing the spoiler page with false information. I think you're the only sysop that actually reads the spoilers, that's why I'm alerting you. For now, I think I have restored evrything, just keep an eye out for him. Thx. --Hunter61 13:00, 27 April 2008 (PDT)
- Even if you don't read spoilers, please give some sanction now. We've had to revert his edits twice more now --Hunter61 12:50, 28 April 2008 (PDT)
bring back the casualties petition Edit
After the events that happend with deleting the 5 casualty articles, me and some other users started a petition for bringing those articles back on Lostpedia. If you share our opinion on this matter, please sign the "Save The Redshirts" section on my user page. If you want you could contact other users about this or create a "Save the redshirts" section on your user page, because the goal is to get as many users to sign the petition as possible along with 6 SysOps (Admins). I would appriciate a quick respond and a sign on either my user page or User:LostCloverfield42's page. --Orhan94
Screenshot Edit
I just came to read on your page that you have all 3 seasons in bluray. Is there anyway you can get a full resolution picture of the logo on the shark in Adrift? Thanks, --JPB. T. C. E.

Via Domus Walkthrough Edit
Hi, I am currently working on the walkthrough for Via Domus and saw that you had some minor edits back when it was first created. I was just wondering if you owned the game and for what system, you see I have a chart going for controls and am missing a list of controls for the PS3 version as well as PC and just wanted to check with you. I have asked different people and posted forums on MANY sites but nothing so far so I thought this wouldn't hurt. Get back to me when you got free time. THANKS.-- SawBucks Talk Contribs 03:03, 11 December 2008 (PST)
Graduate students researching Lostpedia Edit
Dear Dharmatel4, My name is Ariel Brandt, and I represent a group of graduate students in the Information Management program at the University of Maryland. We are contacting you based on the amount of activity you have demonstrated in Lostpedia in the hopes that you would be interested in participating in a study approved by Lostpedia administrators to build visual maps of the social networks embedded in Lostpedia .
We hope that through our research we will be able to provide valuable information to Lostpedia administrators about the interconnectedness of the community of users via their postings, page edits, and potentially other identified points of connection (which you can help us identify). This is part of a larger project conducted by our instructor, Dr. Derek Hansen who is studying the Lostpedia community.
We intend to post our visualizations resulting from these interviews and other research activities on the Lostpedia Main Page (via the administrators, of course) by March 19th and hope that the visualizations help make Lostpedia an even stronger community.
My colleague Michael Johns will be conducting these interviews. If you think you might be interested in participating, please respond to this e mail with a couple of good times for Michael to be in touch with you. Most likely these interviews will take place via phone or video chat, but if you live in the DC metro area we would love to arrange an in person meeting. The interview will be between 30 and 45 minutes, and will be focused on questions about your use of Lostpedia.
If you think you would be interested in participating, please e mail me at arielbrandt@gmail.com by 5pm EST Tuesday March 9th. Also, please note that all interview participants must be at least 18 years of age or older.
Thank you very much, Ariel Brandt arielbrandt@gmail.com Arielb 03:29, March 6, 2010 (UTC)
