FA and AA Edit

Thanks for the response :) Any idea when AA is coming back? Also, with regards to FA and AA, have you guys thought about making it Bi-Weekly? Just because 1, it gives more time for AA to be completed, therefore more edits (theoretically!), and 2, with FA top notch articles are starting to become scarce, I myself have found some of the winners abit questionable recently. --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 13:48, 12 October 2007 (PDT)

Ah no problem, I like it when its quiet :D easier to keep track of vandels/questionable information posters. (Speaking of which, where are the sysops at the moment, ive been on here almost non stop for about 3/5 days and all ive seen is you, Santa and Jabberwock once..)--Lewis-Talk-Contribs 13:56, 12 October 2007 (PDT)

Yeah.. speaking of which I really should start that coursework thats due for Tuesday.. lol --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 14:00, 12 October 2007 (PDT)

Realtime/Real-time Edit

Hi Ted, is real-time wrong? I only changed that because spell checker says that either real-time or real time is correct, and realtime is not a word. --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 14:24, 12 October 2007 (PDT)

Minkowski Edit

Hey, can you protect Minkowski for a while? (Not like any edits need to be made there..), ive had to revert spoilers twice today. Thanks --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 15:49, 12 October 2007 (PDT)

Re: Template: Image Edit

Hey, yeah I did notice that.. I got confused though, is there a page that labels all the eligable codes to put in that template? The only reason I havn't been doing it fully is due to not really knowing what to put in it. Sorry about that :( --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 12:00, 17 October 2007 (PDT)

Understood, thanks for the help :) --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 12:09, 17 October 2007 (PDT)

Quick question, whats the code for Anthony Cooper, have tried both those names seperately. Thanks, --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 12:30, 17 October 2007 (PDT)

Thanks for the fix! --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 12:34, 17 October 2007 (PDT)

WGAEdit

• Those were some great quotes by Gregg Nations you posted in forums! Also, your clarification that "producer" = money people (Disney/ABC) and not "creative producer" is important. Blog away =) -- ^Contrib¯ _Santa_ ¯  ^Talk  12:11, 22 October 2007 (PDT)

Thanks! Edit

Thanks for the award :D (although is there any way you can put it on a userpage so that its next to eachother (mine just goes directly below)) --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 14:35, 22 October 2007 (PDT)

Featured Article Edit

Hey since the other admin I asked just ignored me, what's up with the Featured Article? It appears blank. Is that just a problem for my computer or have you noticed this as well? -- Iron Man  Send a message  View contributions  15:05, 23 October 2007 (PDT)

Sounds good, I always thought we should recycle FA's. Thanks. -- Iron Man  Send a message  View contributions  12:01, 30 October 2007 (PDT)

Watching Edit

Hi there. Can you keep an eye on Browndog922? I've reverted half of his edits over what I think are "against our style", I havnt done the other half because there are so many, and hey lets face it you can do it a lot quicker than me! --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 02:02, 9 November 2007 (PST)

Redirect question Edit

Santa was unsure about this, and thought it could be an issue with redirects not working with anchors. Here's what I wrote:

"I changed the Comic Con subheading in Comic conventions to Comic-Con, based on how they spell it at comic-con.org. Then I changed the redirect for "Comic Con" to go to "Comic conventions#Comic-Con". But it doesn't to go to that subheading, instead it just goes to the top of the Comic conventions page."

What do you think? -- Graft   talk   contributions  20:10, 19 November 2007 (PST)

Ah yes, it works now; it was a cache issue. I'm also using Firefox, and when it wasn't working last night, I tried it in Safari and it also didn't work, so I thought it was something with the wiki, and not the browser. But it turns out Safari can't handle the redirect to the subheading anchor. Oh well, I don't use Safari for LP anyway. Maybe Safari 3 will figure that out. Thanks for all your brainstorming and help! -- Graft   talk   contributions  18:50, 20 November 2007 (PST)

your opinion Edit

I am not sure abput this edit. I think it was better the old way because having two of a very similar image on the same page with one as a link might get confusing. I was wondering what you think. --Connor401 03:52, 30 November 2007 (PST)

Re: Sig Troubles Edit

Thanks for the assistance Mr.Leaf. It is working now.--Countdown 18:49, 1 December 2007 (PST)

new articlesEdit

• Do you think we could use an article on E! Online's Kristin? We have articles on some significant talking heads (Ryan Ozawa, Jeff Jensen), but not others (Ask Ausellio, DocArzt). -- ^Contrib¯ _Santa_ ¯  ^Talk  01:18, 3 December 2007 (PST)

Transcriptions Edit

Hi, im trying to do podcast transcriptions but the links we have to the podcasts are now dead, and the archive on itunes doesn't go that far back (2005), (Orchestra special and the other 48 days episode commentary). Do you know of any way to get them now? --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 08:45, 5 December 2007 (PST)

Hey thanks for having a look, the other 48 days article link i fixed earlier, although the orchestra one I cannot find now. As for the transcriptions, they have only been started, not completed, I started them before the summer and over the summer I had no internet connection so they completely went out of my mind, but ive just realised about them and intend to finish them. --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 13:44, 5 December 2007 (PST)

Fantastic, thanks ML! --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 13:56, 5 December 2007 (PST)

DI Members PicsEdit

I don't really know how to do pictures in wiki, but if you can give me a crash course I can fill in most of the missing pics on the Dharma Initiative Members Portal. --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 22:47, 5 December 2007 (PST)

Nevermid someone went ahead and added them. I still wouldn't mind the crash course though. --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 11:48, 6 December 2007 (PST)

Thanks for the info --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 21:57, 7 December 2007 (PST)

mx06 Edit

Hey!
Can you please help me with the episode template for 6th mobisode... i want it to show only Room 23, but to link to Room 23 (mobisode)..for example in the Template:MissingPiecesnav
Thanks,
--   Steff    talk    contribs    email   07:59, 10 December 2007 (PST)

MX07: page title with an ampersand in it Edit

Hey,

I made a new page for MX07 (Arzt & Crafts), but apparently, Wiki doesn't parse the ampersand correctly, so the automatic links redirect to Arzt. I temporarily added a working link to the Missing Pieces page (link), but I guess the page should be renamed to use a correctly encoded &. Could you help me with that? Thanks! --DJVok 02:14, 17 December 2007 (PST)

Return Countdown Edit

Hi, I thought I'd give you a heads up here, since you're probably not going to see the talk page. Template:ReturnCountdown is off by a day; it has the premiere as January 30 instead of January 31. -- Graft   talk   contributions  23:43, 17 December 2007 (PST)

Template:Image Edit

Hi, I wanted to add the categories of images from mobisodes to the Image Template, but then i realized that the new categories are named "Category:Images of mx01" instead of "Category:Images from mx01". If you can rename those categories it would be great, and i can then add them to the template:img... Later, --   Steff    talk    contribs    email   07:49, 18 December 2007 (PST)

Portal:Survivors Camp Edit

Hey, could you unlock Portal:Survivors Camp, so I can add a bunch of formatted pics? -- Graft   talk   contributions  19:12, 18 December 2007 (PST)

Yep, all done now. The Others and DHARMA Initiative members are done as well. Thanks. -- Graft   talk   contributions  16:55, 19 December 2007 (PST)

ES - Lostpedia Edit

Thanks, Mr.Leaf thanks to say to him to Calick. Thank you very much.

A warm greeting --La Experiencia Lost 09:46, 19 December 2007 (PST)

Template:Image 2 Edit

• I see you added the categories for mobisode images to the template:img, but the names are still wrong. Please if you have time, rename the categories from "Category:Images of mx01" to "Category:Images from mx01" in order to be correct for template:img. --   Steff    talk    contribs    email   11:41, 21 December 2007 (PST)

• Sorry, i didn't know... ;) Later,--   Steff    talk    contribs    email   11:46, 21 December 2007 (PST)

mx08 template name Edit

The name for mx08 is 'Buried Secrets' but the ep|mx08 template says 'Buried Pieces'... --DJVok 06:30, 26 December 2007 (PST)

• Also, it links to the missing pieces page, instead of the actual mx08 page... --DJVok 09:14, 26 December 2007 (PST)

Main Page's Spoiler Warning Edit

Hey Mr. Leaf, I hope you had a good Christmas... I did at least :P .... anyway, I noticed on the Main Page that it says "Lostpedia is updated to US aired episodes & mobisodes (as released on Verizon phones) and official releases (shown above)." ...But "Arzt & Crafts" is not the most recent one to be released on Verizon, it's the one that DJVok mentions in the above comment. I was curious if you guys were waiting for mobisodes to be released on ABC.com to change the spoiler warning. Not a big deal, I just thought I would mention it here, since no one is really around on IRC. Congested 12:01, 27 December 2007 (PST)

DI images Edit

Hey I uploaded nine new pics for the DI portal, including the four you mentioned. I made some extra ones because I found I could get them looking better after having worked with the Others portal for a while. If you want to go ahead and add them instead of unlocking the portal, check out my recent contributions for the image names. Oh yeah, and we can also use the Others portal image for Ben, which is Portal-Ben.jpg. -- Graft   talk   contributions  19:44, 29 December 2007 (PST)

Template: EpEdit

• Hey, can u pls update Template:Ep/mx09 (Tropical Depression) --   Steff    talk    contribs    email   08:08, 31 December 2007 (PST)

dharma rep #1 Edit

I can't get a clear image of Dharma Rep. 1's name. There are several shots of it from a distance in the episode and the extras, but they never amount to more than total blur. I'm starting to think the quality of the camera used in the orientation scene may not have been as high as in other scenes. Dharmatel4 17:50, 31 December 2007 (PST)

find815.comEdit

lots of stuff just came out for the new ARG but i'm not sure how we handle it here, i wasn't around for TLE so i don't know if we just start making pages or if we leave it empty for a bit and let people gather their own clues --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 18:35, 31 December 2007 (PST)

I went ahead and created a page for what seems to be the main character: Sam Thomas. But I really don't know how to handle this storyline. Any ideas? --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 19:09, 31 December 2007 (PST)

Can you delete Image:Sam thomas.jpg for me i forgot to crop the norton bar all the way off. So i just uploaded a different pic. sorry for all the posts i feel like i'm spamming your talk page. happy new year Mr.Leaf --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 19:34, 31 December 2007 (PST)

Ok thanks, when i messaged you last night, no pages had been created for Find815 yet, thats why I wasn't sure on the policy. --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 12:10, 1 January 2008 (PST)

Ideas pageEdit

Hi, I think the "Unseen character appearances: mentioned in..." part of the ideas page can be moved to fulfilled requests. --Phil (talk) 08:49, 1 January 2008 (PST)

Chapters tableEdit

I'm gonna work on one of these, similar to the Rachel Blake posts system, doing it instead by Chapter - from the look of Find815.com table thing it appears the ARG is broken down as such to at least 20 different chapters. --Nickb123 (Talk) 12:55, 1 January 2008 (PST)

Thanks! Edit

Hey there, just wanted to drop by and say thanks for continuing with the "on this day" and "the day in summary" on the new clue pages for Find 815. On another note, sorry for not being around, ive been without internet for about 2-3 weeks --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 13:09, 1 January 2008 (PST)

Happy Birthday for the other day also! --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 08:23, 3 January 2008 (PST)

DVD Audio CommentaryEdit

Hey there, I had talked to you back in Aug about getting back into editing the wiki but some real life stuff came up. I back now and I just had a question about whether or not there would be a desire on the part of Lostpedia community to have transcripts of the episode audio commentaries from the Lost DVD. I would be more than happy to do them if there is. --scocub 19:56, 4 January 2008 (PST)

problem with Talk:The Man Behind the Curtain‎; Edit

Someone removed the entire contents of Talk:The Man Behind the Curtain‎ without explanation. I tried to undo the edit or revert it but it doesn't work. Can you take a look at it? Thanks. Dharmatel4 09:05, 8 January 2008 (PST)

I was able to archive the first half of the article but i didn't bother with the second half. You may want to rename the archive pages so that "Pre-Broadcast" links to Talk:The Man Behind the Curtain/Pre-Broadcast and that "Archive 1" links to Talk:The Man Behind the Curtain/Archive 1.--Connor401 13:48, 8 January 2008 (PST)

I think that it was because the page had gotten too big for our browsers to handle. A similar situation happened to me a while back. [1]--Connor401 13:58, 8 January 2008 (PST)

renameEdit

Can we get a sysop's opinion at Talk:Owen_Talbot. thanks man. --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 21:13, 10 January 2008 (PST)

I've noticed a different possible vandal. He has not done any damage to any pages, but has attacked a user. He is Rddswim, and insulted another user on Talk:Miles Straume. -- #1LostFan  talk  contribs  Lost Wiki  09:38, 10 February 2008 (PST)

Dammit Leafy! Edit

You beat me to it lol. --SilvaStorm

QuestionEdit

This trivia line was added to Christian Shepherd: Christian is the most prominent flashback character,appearing in total of 4 character's flashbacks.

• Would Ethan tie him? he's in flashbacks for Claire, Juliet, and Nikki/Paulo, plus the Other's flashback in "A Tale of Two Cities" or does that also count as Juliet? --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 07:27, 15 January 2008 (PST)

Also I posted this on Talk:Hurley and Frogurt, but I wanted to get your thoughts on it too, especially since you were the sysop in the discussion. Since 2 mobisodes now have had conflicting names in the opening of them and the title on ABC.com, i think the shorter title is a space issue. however, i think we should wait til they release Jin Has A Temper-Tantrum On The Golf Course. if they do it a third time, then in my opinion that's proof it's a space issue. --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 14:27, 15 January 2008 (PST)

• Hey can you check out the Rename nom at Talk:Lost:_The_Video_Game --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 17:29, 17 January 2008 (PST)

Season 5Edit

Can you unprotect Season 5 for me, I want to add a bit about the possibility of more than 16 eps due to the WGA strike. --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 19:42, 19 January 2008 (PST)

• Done, thanks --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 20:03, 19 January 2008 (PST)

Template help needed Edit

The Mobisode templates need some updating. Mobisode #12 (The Envelope) still has no title added, and the "Next time on Lost" column on the main page contains error messages.--Nevermore 02:44, 23 January 2008 (PST)

Wiki HelpEdit

can you look at my page User:Gluphokquen_gunih/Game? I know there's an easier way to have done the list other than < br > after everything. Also it's so long, I want to do it in more than one column, but I'm not sure how to do that. Help would be awesome. --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 06:34, 25 January 2008 (PST)

Access granted edits Edit

With regard to your edits, the odd text with the underlines/etc are reproductions of the actual menu titles on the DVD. That was the reasoning but I don't feel strongly about it. Dharmatel4 17:12, 29 January 2008 (PST)

6Edit

Can you undelete and unprotect 6 and make it a redirect to Oceanic 6? --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 23:14, 31 January 2008 (PST)

Policy of Episode Articles Edit

Hi, Can you take a look at my recent edits on The Beginning of the End (see timestamp here for when I made the edits). I really think that a more official policy should be added on what constitutes as Trivia, and what is just theories, or information that is not "trivia". For example, I removed a piece of Trivia that states that "Jeremy Davies is credited as a regular", using that example, i could be saying that "Josh Holloway is credited as a regular", it seems like a useless thing to be adding to that article. Others I deleted included "The car Hurley crashed into may be the Golden Pontiac", thats obviously a theory so that does not need to be there. We need a more official template for all articles, including what should be added under each heading and what should not. --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 07:04, 2 February 2008 (PST)

Medal for original reasearch Edit

Someone said to me that for my theories and reasarch revolving around the Bagua/Locke-down map, that i could be awarded the medal for origianl research? is this true?

Rename of Drive Shaft articles overdue Edit

Hi Mr. Leaf, can you help with a rename of the Drive Shaft articles? (See the talk for the extensive evidence that the band's name is two words.)

• Driveshaft -> Drive Shaft
• Backstage with Driveshaft -> Backstage with Drive Shaft
• Unnamed Driveshaft member -> Unnamed Drive Shaft member

(There may be a few others as well that I've missed.) Thanks! Robert K S 05:09, 4 February 2008 (PST)

Survivors Camp and The Others portals - Captured individuals? Edit

Hi Mr. Leaf. I thought I would run an idea by you for the picture formats on the portals of the Survivors Camp and The Others. There are currently four categories: Alive, Missing or Unknown, Defected | Defected to..., and Dead. I was hoping that maybe a fifth category could be added for Captured? It would be formatted like the Defected category, where it would read "Captured | Captured by..." to indicate both that the individual has been captured and the people/group that captured the individual.

This idea came with Ben's capture, but I think it can also apply to Cindy, Emma, and Zack who were forcibly kidnapped by The Others, instead of deciding to defect. The "Defected | Defected to..." tag would still apply to Alex, Karl, and Juliet who willingly decided to side with the Survivors. Anyway, please consider my request and give a response on my talk page, thanks! Jelx 14:11, 6 February 2008 (PST)

Some pages for deletion Edit

Just to give you a heads up on these two - "Hurley's dude quotes season 1" and "Hurley's dude quotes Missing Pieces". They have been moved to the user page of the creator of the articles, and are cleared to be deleted in the talk page of the first one. -- Graft   talk   contributions  19:37, 6 February 2008 (PST)

• Dead links removed. ;) -- Graft   talk   contributions  19:49, 6 February 2008 (PST)

MainpageEdit

• Sorry to bug you on this. Could you look at the Australia "this week on lost" on the Main page when you have a moment? -- ^Contrib¯ _Santa_ ¯  ^Talk  12:19, 10 February 2008 (PST)

Dan, Danny, DanielEdit

Does it make sense for the disambig page to be called Danny? In the list there are 2 Danny's and 6 Daniel's. As it's the full name shouldn't the disambig be called Daniel? Also if Daniel Faraday becomes a bigger character (which i think and hope he does), should we just have Daniel rederict straight to him with a one line redirect, like Tom? --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 21:01, 12 February 2008 (PST)

(Butting in) Right now Daniel redirects to Danny; it's fine with me if instead Danny redirects to Daniel (disambiguation). Clearly now that there is a character named Daniel, Daniel should direct straight to him. My $0.02. Robert K S 21:16, 12 February 2008 (PST)

Suggestion about the Appearence Chart Edit

Since this thing was your baby, I thought I'd let you know that I suggested a small change to the chart, and your input would be helpful if not necessary in getting the page changed.

Most of my suggestions deal with the nature in which the show has changed since the chart was created and are minor in nature. If you could take a look on the chart's page and let me know what you think, it would be very helpful. Willo 17:17, 20 February 2008 (PST)

Bob Edit

I'm planning to return to this site shortly, so prepare for a series of massive vandal strikes if you do not comply with my term (you should know what they are by now). See my talk page for details. Regards, Oli M. Silent51 03:23, 2 March 2008 (PST)

Elliott Maslow Edit

Hi, just a question about the Elliott Maslow article and the Manual of Style we have in place. In the Manual, it says that the article should be written in past tense if the character is dead, however, Elliott's story is now complete, so should the article be written in past or present tense? Also if I could have a bit of information expanding on what is written in the MoS that would be great, im a little bit confused about how articles should be written with regards to tense. Thanks! --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 03:34, 17 March 2008 (PDT)

bring back the casualties 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).
