Widmore and the faucet

You removed the questions about the sequence of events in the bathroom. I think they are relevant and worth asking. If you feel they are too leading, I would welcome edits that satisfy such a concern. However, the scene was too intentional in my opinion to write this off to Widmore being a germaphobe. Thanks. --MixMasterMike 12:55, 29 February 2008 (PST)

Aaron/O6

You removed the question of whether Aaron is in the O6 with the edit summary "aaron is not in the oceanic 6, as per the podcast" - what is this referring to? I just watched the newest podcast and didn't hear any mention of Aaron and the O6? Could you clarify? Thanks. --Minderbinder 12:06, 27 February 2008 (PST)

Daniel's caretaker

Let's accept for now that the woman in "Confirmed Dead" is indeed Daniel's caretaker. That information was supplied in the enhanced version of the episode. Until they're proven wrong, we'll accept the canonicity of enhanced comments at face value. Robert K S 15:57, 29 February 2008 (PST)

Red

Fine, I'll just leave the red objects thing out of the question until you realize they are important and have to get them all back. We'll see. -. Grillage .- 00:49, 18 March 2008 (PDT)

links to episodes

I'm not following all of what you wrote. I personally put up the link to the 4x09 press release on the 4x09 page within the last couple days and put the name of the episode in the season 4 template. Did you see anything with regard to 4x09 that I missed?

The policy doesn't allow me to create a 4x10 page until 4x09 airs. So I don't have anywhere I can put the link to the 4x10 press release right now except the spoilers articles. My intention is to put up a 4x10 article immediately after 4x09 airs with the link to the press release.

I have personal opinions about the spoiler policy, but I have to apply what was written into the new policy. For lots of reasons I'm not the best person to defend why the policy is what it is. The only thing I can suggest is that you make your comments in the discussion for the spoilers policy page. Maybe one of the people who was strongly in favor of the changes can explain their reasoning. Dharmatel4 10:47, 16 April 2008 (PDT)

I was asking about the response to me on the medianet page. I understand what your asking for now, but it would still require a change to the existing spoiler policy as far as I know. You could propose the change on the spoiler policy page discussion and see what happens. Dharmatel4 11:17, 16 April 2008 (PDT)
Ok. I now what you were talking about. I added 4x09 to the medianet page. If your interested, I think there is some cleanup work that needs to be done on that article. I think there are a few non-episodic press releases from season 4 that are not listed at all. Anything covering episodes past 4x10 can't go up but there are things like the teleconference press release that are not on the page. Dharmatel4 11:35, 16 April 2008 (PDT)

Hey back

No worries. I was just in a crap mood. -- LOSTonthisdarnisland 06:12, 26 April 2008 (PDT)

"The Shape of Things to Come"

Hi Jimbo, you removed "The shirt rack that conceals the hieroglyph door has changed position between "The Economist" and "The Shape of Things to Come"". and the pictures (Image:Bensoffice te.gif & Image:Bensoffice sottc.gif) as proof, with an explanation of "desk could've been moved". Please explain, because the shot is taken from the exact same angle (NB the built-in cabinets are the same in each shot), and the attached shirt rack is not in "The Economist". I'm usually one for removing bloopers that could plausibly be 'fudged', but this was a "god in the machine" fix if I ever saw one. It deserves to remain as a continuity error. I do think it should be reworded to something like "The shirt rack that conceals the hieroglyph door in "The Shape of Things to Come" was not in "The Economist" which had a set of storage shelves in that spot instead ". -- LOSTonthisdarnisland 11:19, 28 April 2008 (PDT) Edit: I've added this back in with proper wording; please let me know if you have any concerns after revisiting it based on what I said. -- LOSTonthisdarnisland 12:08, 28 April 2008 (PDT)

Jimbo, you deleted the part in the "bloops" section regarding the Turkish that Ben has used based on your opinion that he could have used any language. Sifting through the discussions in the relevant sections of Lostpedia, it seems that the choice of language was not arbitrary. Apparantly, he had a very good idea, where he ended up. Besides, regardless of whether Ben knows where he ended up, why would he approach two armed Bedouins in a desert with Turkish of all the widely spoken languages in the world?? Why not Spanish then? Or French? I think there is no good reason that can support that idea. Ben is portayed as an intelligent and very smart man, who the viewers of Lost would expect him to be knowledgable in world culture and languages as well. --Aelci 23:59, 28 April 2008 (PDT)

Best way to notify sysops

Have a look at the sysop page, then check on recent changes if anyone is making any edits, and then comment on their talk page about what you want them to look at. Thats normally the fastest way.  Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  02:20, 2 May 2008 (PDT)

Meh. I'll get used to the Unanswered Questions style eventually.

Daniel lied

Hi Jimbo, you removed an UQ [1] which I've reverted. The Morse Code has been translated in Talk, but that only serves to support the content of the message AND supports Daniel lied about that content as Bernard said he did. The question is why did Daniel lie, which is valid. -- LOSTonthisdarnisland 00:39, 7 May 2008 (PDT)

"To keep her safe"

Hi, you removed the UQ **Why did Christian ask Locke not to tell anyone that he saw Claire in the cabin with him?; you say the answer is "to keep her safe," but this to me looks like a theory in itself. It's not self-evident that IS the answer, it's not even obvious that she is alive (she doesn't look like herself at all), for all we know she could be dead, or she could even be in danger by staying with Christian (remember Yemi? he wasn't Yemi, and Eko was killed by the Smoke Monster afterwards). Indeed, if the reason was to keep her safe, that begs the question why didn't Christian take Aaron as well? You may be right Christian wants to keep her safe, but that's just a theory. It could also be that he doesn't want her to be rescued. This is an unanswered question and I politely request that you revert this change. --Salvora 15:59, 9 May 2008 (PDT)

No, I don't think the reason you gave is a major leap, it's a reasonable answer; my point was just that this has not been answered and therefore it qualifies as an UQ. I'm adding it again. Thanks for your answer. --Salvora 16:31, 9 May 2008 (PDT)

Signing Stuff

Guilty as charged, AGAIN!<grin> I'll try to be good. I admit to not reading the rules first, but I figured you needed the signatures to know who to blame if the entry was wrong. Does wiki provide the sysops with a tool to know when a predator strikes?--Jim 17:07, 9 May 2008 (PDT)

Kate's Parents

Isn't Kate's father dead?--Jim 20:25, 15 May 2008 (PDT)

Cabin Fever

hey! you removed the UQ as to how Christian knows that Keamy's coming back. Did I miss the answer to that one?

Good point! True, the question is more on Jacob's nature and his relationship to Christian. Gonna find out about that soon hopefully... --Tom 01:42, 17 May 2008 (PDT)

Orphan Bullets

Greetings -

Is there some easy way to delete orphan bullets? I'll do it gladly while I'm adding my priceless (?) prose, but there seems to be characters that are not visible in the editing boxes.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 16:31, 17 May 2008 (PDT)

Sure on the theory page for the last episode, search for "The scientists also knew about the Tempest" Ahead of the text is a single indented bullet for one line, a double indented bullet for the next line and a triple indented bullet for the line with the text. In edit mode there are just three asterisks.--{{SUBST:User:gaarmyvet/autosig}} 17:42, 17 May 2008 (PDT) Thanks.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 18:35, 17 May 2008 (PDT)

Recurring Characters

Just wanted to say great work on the Recurring Characters portal. Can't wait to see a finished version. Let me know if i can help at all. --Anfield Fox 06:23, 1 June 2008 (PDT)

"He's freezing the power source for the receiver"

I don't see how that makes sense. If the power was off for the receiver, then there would have been neither a red nor a green light. (Actually, nothing about the C-4 bomb makes sense from a technical standpoint--the whole rig requires a tremendous amount of suspension of disbelief.) Robert K S (talk) 11:32, 10 June 2008 (PDT)

I don't understand what you mean by "the light wouldn't turn on". Lights of any color require power. If the battery powered the receiver, Michael's freezing it would have made the initial red light go dim. The whole bomb and all its associated devices are one big blooper as far as I'm concerned, and there can be no explanation for any of it. Robert K S (talk) 11:45, 10 June 2008 (PDT)

The Revised Portal:Others Page

Greetings -

I think you redefined the page for Portal:Others. If not, please disregard.

The grids are defined with a width of 100% and rows of six boxes, each with a width of 20% (giving a total of 120%). It seems to work, but code sometimes comes back and bites you the butt and the least convenient moments.

I thought you'd want to know.

Regards,

Bring back the casualties petition

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  Talk  Contribs

Thanks Jimbo, I didn't realiise I was causing so much chaos! -- 586FAC75 | talk | contributions 01:05, 13 November 2008 (PST)

Cindy

I didn't remove her, I just shifted her from "guest star" to "co-star" (so she's right below the guest star list). Only difference is that guest stars are listed in the opening credits, while co-stars are in the end credits (press releases usually contain both). It's a small detail, but I had just watched the episode and noticed that Kimberly Joseph was listed as a co-star, so I fixed it. Guess I should have included a note with the edit. Hope this clears it up. --compossible 06:10, 25 December 2008 (UTC)


ABC Medianet

Hi, I got your message. First of all, I copied and pasted from the previous entry, so any dates were based on those formats. Second, I used the proper links, including the & characters so that real spaces and punctuations wouldnt cause any trouble in older browsers. Finally, I included the Season 5 releases at the bottom so that people could access them. I didnt create a season 5 box because people so often go crazy when others go too far with future episode references. And I didnt move them from the season 5 box, none existed at the time. Really, I was just de-orphaning some poor lonely pages. Thanks for the input. Wikistoriographer 06:40, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Trivia Page

Jimbo,

I was wondering if you'd had an opportunity to read the exchanges about moving Trivia. I'm looking forward to discussing the issue.

--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 21:11, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, I see your point, but copying trivia, rather than moving it, only sucks up more disk space. I freely acknowledge that the ultimate result may not be what any of us want, but I only changed two pages and specified that I was prototyping. The fact that you only agree under a certain condition is fine, but, unless you are the final arbiter on the move, I think you should have allowed other people an opportunity to comment before you undid the changes. Fourteen days and counting!--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 23:26, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

After I finished my changes there was a new page named Trivia - season 1. The ink is red because Santa deleted the new page (I've asked him for his rationale separately); I don't know if that was before or after you undid the changes. Before you undid the changes, each of the "Pilot" pages contained a headline for trivia and a line reading Main Article: Trivia - season 1. Once transferred to the trivia page, were presented with a TOC. You did not have to page through a lot of text. The greater issue is that you charged me with having undertaking a major edit without discussion; that's simply not correct. There was substantial discussion right where you posted your objection, after the fact. The discussion was not conducted on Talk:Season 1, because it applied to the entire project. Episodes 1x01 and 1x02 were just the starting point.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 01:24, 8 January 2009 (UTC)


Chang

I believe that they did call him, "Dr. Chang" on the episode, and the cast info names him as Pierre Chang... so why change it to one of his pseudonyms? --     Nusentinsaino     talk    contribs    email   05:00, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Season 5

Thanks for the notice; not really my department but I've unlocked it on a provisional basis. If it becomes spoiler-zone somebody else will probably re-lock it. Cheers and thanks, Robert K S (talk) 20:55, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure, I guess I would go with whoever locked the page... (PS, don't forget to sign!) Robert K S (talk) 23:48, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

"The Little Prince" UQs

Hey Jimbo,

I understand the need to keep UQ sections tidy, but when removing UQs you definitely want to give edit summary explanations. There seems to be quite an edit war on that UQ section and I can't explain it. There doesn't seem to be major discussion on the talk page. Some of the UQs you removed seem valid to me. Robert K S (talk) 20:48, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

"The Lie" UQ

I know you're working hard on these things. Isn't the answer to the about Ms. Hawking knowing when the O6 can return "She figured it out using advanced math."?--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 00:31, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Here goes. Removed with explanation. I know what you mean. I spent most of Saturday trying to clean up The Little Prince/Theories. It's a balance between getting it all into logical format and letting the instinctive bloggers blog 'cause they're gonna do it anyway. I created "Woh's Who in Constants (or something like that in the hope that most of the constant-oriented stuff would end up there. So far...,--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 03:19, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I appreciate the updating of the Mysteries page but can you please next time also update the Totals (at the bottom of the page)? :) Thanks in advance. - TheAma1 21:02, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Kate's favor?

"answered if you listen to the enhanced dialogue"--really? What's the favor? I listened to whatever was on the Internet last year after the finale aired but I couldn't make out anything intelligible. Robert K S (talk) 06:03, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I was afraid that's what you were referring to--a few YouTube videos that purported to enhance the audio and then helpfully offered some suggestion in the way of captioned text. Even if there was fan consensus on the answer to this UQ--and a review of the various discussion boards and YouTube threads show a lot of people pointing out that the conclusion is tenuous and nonsensical given Kate's refusal to tell Jack--the point here is that the UQ hasn't been answered by the show or by the producers. All we have is a fan theory. Robert K S (talk) 18:11, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

"LaFleur" UQ

Jimbo, could you help revert the UQ if the persistent editor who adds the invalid UQs (twice so far) continues, especially as he's not participating in talk. I've done it twice now, and I don't want to edit war. Thanks ---- LOSTonthisdarnisland 07:05, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

I put it in the edit summary the first, and second time, but ok. Thanks in advance for your help. ---- LOSTonthisdarnisland 07:48, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Hey Jimbo, on a recent edit of yours on this article you wrote "Sun and Sayid are in the present which isn't dealt with in this ep". If it "isn't dealt with in this ep", how can you say they are in the present? I wouldn't ask, except you said it with such confidence that I feel I've missed something (and don't tell me if you found out from spoilers, because I don't look). ---- LOSTonthisdarnisland 09:18, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Editor error

I greatly apologize for any confusion or hurt that I may have caused for you. My e-mail notification of the page's change identified you as the editor who posted that change. This must have been a computer/e-mail error. I am sorry for any offense that might have been caused. Please let me know if you have any further concerns. Again, I apologize. ♥meggie ~ Talk & contribs 22:08, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Looking back on the history, I see the issue. My e-mail notified me of changes, so when I clicked the link that said "See all changes to this page since your last visit", Lostpedia listed your username as being the most recent person to change the page, as at the time you were. It appears to have been Faraday100 who posted the offending message. Perhaps we could contact an admin or SysOp some way to get that taken care of? I am terribly sorry for the inconvenience. ♥meggie ~ Talk & contribs 22:15, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Replacing UAQs

UAQs are not the biggest area of interest for me, but is there some way to convince people that they don't have to remove someone else's UAQ to put their question in? Maybe I'm just venting.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 23:16, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

REDIRECT

I' back; bet you couldn't wait.<grin> Will you take a look a Eloise Hawking's page. A few days ago, because she became more prominent, I rebuilt the REDIRECT for Hawking so it would point at her instead of at the disambiguation page. No one has complained about that, but about once a day, someone deletes the note I put at the top of her page to explain about how to find the disambiguation page. Did I do that one right?--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 23:27, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Watching other pages (LaFleur/Theories has been a hoot!), suggests you're probably right. I really thought at the time that someone was intentionally taking the thing out! Thanks for your help.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 00:41, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

What do the others call themselves?

Sorry, but can you suggest one nation, cult, tribe or family group that does not have a name for itself?--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 13:15, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

  • That's a neat analogy, Jimbo, but it falls short. You and the other people who live in you apartment building don't have a government (the landlord doesn't count!); the Others do, even if some of them are at cross purposes with their government. Members of the Others may have different origins, but they have immigrated to a new homeland, bringing their ethnicity with them, but leaving their previous nationality behind. Most of them don't have the option of leaving. As Tom told Michael when asked if the Others could travel away from the Island, "Some of us can," and that to complete missions on behalf of the Island with the implied (possibly inferred) expectation that they would return. ("Meet Kevin Johnson") The question was raised by the show the first time Rousseau called them the "The Others." "'The Others,' yeah, but who are they?" Widmore helped the question along when he said, as pointed out by User:Iimitk, "They're not Others to me; they're my people." We carry "my people" in lower case, suggesting that it's not a proper noun. "So, Mr. Widmore, what do your people call themselves?" Locke obviously hadn't had time to find out yet.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 20:36, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

UQ about the flaming bus

Well, thanks for the comment, but I certainly don't need a guide on how to write an UQ. Especially as it's written by another human being who has no connection at all to the show. So what makes his idea of an UQ correct, and mine wrong? As for me being the only person who still thinks it's an UQ, by making silly statements like that, you immediately lose credibility in your debate so I can ignore you quite easily and not feel guilty. You must be a troll of some kind, as is so common on these sites. There are plenty of people who still believe it's a credible UQ. So I will add it again :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Benjamin Linus (talk • contribs) .

There were hints in "Dead Is Dead" that Ben'll be sent back to DHARMA. If he doesn't have to answer for this by next week's show, then it'll probably never be mentioned again.  Robert K S   tell me  20:01, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Charlie

He shouldn't be listed in the main cast list, he only appeared as a guest star and they gave him main cast credit for it, which is noted in the cast list to the left. This is why Malcolm isn't listed in the season 2 main cast list on the right. Alexisfan07 3 May 2009

Character appearances

I was just wondering why youve created all of these new templates for character appearances, it can become very confusing when searching. I know you suggested a change in the current format but fact of the matter is you need a lot more people to agree with the change before you can actually make it, and if you dont get the people youll have to delete them all, i understand making a few new pages so people can get a look at what your idea is but for now we have a character appearances page and you should hold off until you can get some support on your change. Just to avoid the confusion when looking for certain pages. -- B1G CZYGS  Talk  Contribs  02:42, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

RE: Portals

Sorry, I thought it was agreed on. In relation to your question, I'm not sure why they changed colour, I didn't realise it was doing so until you said it. I also agree with the portal containing the staus. Once again, apologies. DECBOY 16:54, 10 May 2009 (UTC)


The incident

Who left the cloth at the cabin? Was it for Ilana? I think Ilana itself and her motives are quite mysterious. So, the fact that she headed to the cabin implies that she knew where to go. But on the other hand, leaving a cloth with a picture of the statue on it seems to me like someone was expected. But who says it is Ilana? I wrote something similar at the talkpage of The Incident, you can answer there.--Asian_Dawn 09:13, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

RE : 5x02

According to Character appearances, Jin does appear in 5x02. 5x02's article notes Jin only appears in archive footage (freighter explosion), but that still counts in his episode count, etc. As such, I believe all credited cast members do appear in 5x02. --LeoChris 15:16, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

RE: Episode Titles

Hey Jimbo. Well, As you can see I am a little "anal" about the titles, more so than others. As for the talk pages, I don't seem to really come across many upcoming titles listed (except on the spoiler policy page). When I do see any signs of someone about to say the next ep's title, I just stop reading. The only reason I'm fighting for the new navbox is because I don't want the last episodes of Lost I'm ever going to watch, be ruined, if that makes sense. The one thing I've been thinking that would give you the ability to read the upcoming episode titles and keep users like me out of it is to only include this information on the Season 5 page, which in my opinion is the only place it really belongs, anywhere else and it's just "see also" material (which normally rests at the bottom of pages). There's many ways we could go about it, from creating a page titled "Episode titles", adding the "Spoilers" page back to Lp or again, the season 5 page. There are many ways, but in reality, it won't happen. I was lucky Jabrwocky came up with that new box otherwise nothing would have happened. I'm sorry, but I just woke up and might not have fully understood your question, if I missed anything please get back to me!-- SawBucks  Talk  Contribs  19:51, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I'll comment on tomorrow, now I'm too tired to think clearly >.< Personally I think episode titles are something that Lostpedia should have, like you said however, only ones that are in fact canon. On my other wiki we post anything that is released that is in fact canon, but we just make it so people who don't want to see this information can't accidentally see it (like the ep titles on the top of the page), that's where I'm coming from. They should for sure be added...but like I said, people like me shouldn't be able to just stumble across them from reading the most recent article. I'll get to it tomorrow and it's nice to see someone from your side of the argument that understands where I'm coming from.-- SawBucks  Talk  Contribs  04:38, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Yeah the spoilers page is the one I was talking about in my first comment on your page here. I made my comments on the page (in four different spots). The only/last problem I'm having with the collapsible box is that for the first couple seconds it shows up until the page loads, I'm now suggesting that we just put it at the bottom of the page with the rest of the boxes (IMO where it really belongs). No problem and happy debating.-- SawBucks  Talk  Contribs  05:00, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

spoiler policy vote

Hi Jimbo, I might be the only one who screwed up, but I wanted to point out that the quote in the middle of the vote makes the flow confusing when one is adding their voice. Could you maybe move that quote to a comments section so the vote flows clearly and people are sure to put their vote in the correct section? I agree with you fully, BTW, and I hope others see that your points are clear and right on the mark. ---- LOSTonthisdarnisland 02:04, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey Jimbo, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, but I've been very busy and haven't been on here in a long time. I like the changes you made in your version of the spoiler policy (I used the colourful one so I could see them easily). I've long felt that although I hate spoilers, things released by Bad Robot cannot by definition be spoilers. I think things that are released by some of the networks, though, like the one in the UK, might be spoilers if not intended to be released by BR. Anyway, good job. -- LOSTonthisdarnisland 17:57, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Jacob's nicknames

Only 2 of the many nother nicknames have references. I am simply listing fan nicknames that I have heard commonly used. When I tried removing nicknames without references it was reverted back by a sysop. So I take that to mean, not all nicknames in this section require references. So I am going to list all the names I have heard used. --Integrated (User / Talk) 02:34, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

  • They're just names I've heard thrown around.. if we're going by 'only referenced names' I agree with you, but given, as I said, by edit was reverted when I removed non referenced names, I assume that it's a free for all--Integrated (User / Talk) 02:43, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Ok. Let's continue this discussion on the Jacob talk page. --Integrated (User / Talk) 03:10, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Portal images

I wanted to let you know that several portal-size pics were uploaded by User:Steele for the Family trees article, and I think that you could use them for the Template:PortalIMG project. -- Orhan94  Talk  Contribs  11:04, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Well once you're done I think that they could be implemented on a lot of list articles on LP could use the portal images instead of the mini images which look terrible actually. -- Orhan94  Talk  Contribs  19:55, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

RE:Jacob's Nemesis

I have given seven credible and notable sources for "Esau" on the talk page. The nickname for Spiderman has been removed due to its unnotability. Thanks for notifying me. -- CTS  Talk   Contribs 02:43, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Yes Good call on the Edom thing, by the way where did this name come from, I've never heard it before? - MRMIKE T  C  E  21:59, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Reply I am a little anal about trivia like this, and I never heard it mentioned prior to PaulGower listing it in the article. However, in some biblical references, the name Edom is an alternative name for Esau and "red" is used in describing Esau. In fact the followers of Esau were called Edomites. Too bad this has nothing to do with Jacob's Nemesis.- MRMIKE T  C  E  23:25, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Portal:Mysteries - Casear

How have Miles' abilities been "firmly established"? We knew he talked to the dead from his first appearance... and that is still all we know. I do not recall them ever giving an explanation for his abilities, and until they do (or the producers say there isn't one), it should be a mystery. I think most users would agree with me.

Caesar is arguable... I actually tend to agree with you that he was a red herring to distract us from Bram and Ilana... but we don't know that. He was certainly introduced in a mysterious way, so I don't think it's fair to write him off until there is no chance of him coming back. I don't feel as strongly about this though. --Jtmoore 03:10, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Makes sense and I'm fine with that. I guess the best way I could describe it would be Caesar's suspicious behaviour... I mean, you have to admit he was introduced more prominently and mysteriously than many characters. I think all of us (i.e. anyone watching Lost) was expecting something important from him... and then he gets shot... but conveniently, they never said one way or another if he was dead. I am fine leaving him off for now.

I agree with you about character names too, although Richard Alpert I would say is a mystery overall... but the others, yes.

as for Miles, in what way do you consider his abilities solved? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jtmoore (talk • contribs) .

new topic

Could you please explain why you removed my addition? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cmolisa0 (talk • contribs) .

Man of Science, Man of Faith

I removed Desmond from FB. It is not by any means a Desmond FB, unlike how Dave and A Tale of Two Cities also include Libby and Juliet flashbacks respectively. Absolutely no one considers it a Desmond flashback; there isn't even a debate like there is for those two episodes. No one thinks it is one. See talk page for further reasoning and do not put any more inaccurate things like that on Lostpedia. --Golden Monkey 17:32, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

New Spoiler Policy

I have created a new spolier/promotional material policy that I feel correctly addreses the issues at hand: titles, ignored discussions, and the fact that our motivation is contradictory to our policy. The policy is in two parts. The first part deals with spoilers and can be found here. The second part deals with promotional material and may be found here. I would like you to weigh in so improvements may be made before I submit it to be an official policy. Thanks! cgmv123TalkContribsNew Spoiler Policy! 17:14, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Sysop Issue

I left a message about the new policy on nearly all the of the sysops' talk pages. So far only one has given a message. I've been checking recent changes so I know I haven't missed anything. I think they came to consensus in their secret talks that the current policy can't be changed, or something. What should I do to get their attention? Thanks! cgmv123TalkContribsNew Spoiler Policy! 15:57, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Rollback help

Check out Help:Reverting for info on the rollback feature. It only undoes a user's recent edit(s) on the one page. Feel free to ask me if you have any other questions. --Blueeagleislander 11:12, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

The rewriting/cleanup of older articles?

Hey Jimbo, what's up with all the changes to the Stations...Swan, Pearl, Flame, Hydra and looking Glass.- MRMIKE T  C  E  16:02, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Reply At first I was curious as to why an editor was making so many changes to these articles. Upon reading them, I can see where some of these changes were necessary and very thoughtful. I commend this editor for all their efforts. I suppose that I was a little bit concerned that so many of the edits were done without any discussion. Perhaps I am a little gun-shy about taking on a similar task without the opinion and consent of those who have more experience than myself. I'm sure that you and your peers have full confidence in this editor's ability to remain objective and to the point. I am a big fan of LOST and LP, if I overacted or wasted your time, I'm sorry-Thx- MRMIKE T  C  E  22:52, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Centric counts

Jimbo, I noticed on the Centric tally page that the centric totals are not up to date? Also while researching the individual episode pages, some of the episode infoboxes have the centric character listed and some don't. Does this need updating? And last, while hunting for info, I noticed that some characters have a page for Category:(actor)-centric and some don't. Do these too, need to be included. Would you like me to work on this?- MRMIKE T  C  E  22:07, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Mars?

Why did you remove Edward Mars from the Recurring Characters template? He has appeared in enough episodes to be there and played a significant enough role as well. -- Orhan94  Talk  Contribs  13:23, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

  • Oh, my bad. BTW, not all characters are categorized by first names, namely Martin Keamy', Anthony Cooper and Stuart Radzinsky. I think that Edward Mars, Danielle Rousseau and possibly Frank Lapidus, Danny Pickett and Charles Widmore should be categorized by last name as well as they are mostly referred to by there last names, similar to John Locke on the main characters nav. -- Orhan94  Talk  Contribs  21:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
  • Changed Widmore. I'll think about the other ones. -- Orhan94  Talk  Contribs  00:00, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Hydra Island

Hey Jimbo, I took a crack at cleaning up this article. How does it look, opinions...advice...please, thanks.- MRMIKE T  C  E  10:38, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

  • Reply I must be dyslectic, I read the LP:MoS, but my interpretation was the reverse of what you are saying...thanks. It's kind of ironic, I had to work a little to get things to make sense in the present tense. I'll fix it and I noticed the item to keep the captions in the present tense. I liked the images I picked, I hope they help convey the article. I will put a comment out on the talk page as well. Thanks- MRMIKE T  C  E  20:22, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

RE:Talk:Portal:Main Characters

Done. BTW, on the subject of archiving, your talk page could use a bit of archiving. Just a suggestion. cgmv123TalkContribsNew Spoiler Policy! 00:05, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Looking for Orhan

HEY Jimbo, I was looking for Orhan to pick his brain on some lesser known facts. I haven't heard from him lately and I see that he hasn't been on site for a while, do you know if he's on a break and when will he be back. I hope everything is OK, please let me know if you hear anything, thanks- MRMIKE T  C  E  03:48, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
