LP:NPA

Is there anything else particularly you want discussing on this? The only other thing I can think of would be to give more definitions on what is classed as a personal attack. Did you envisage any other things I could have a stab at in the article? --Nickb123 (Talk) 04:48, 1 February 2007 (PST)

New episodes

1) Can Enter 77 be added to the Season 3 Nav? It was confirmed here.

2) Similarly, can Enter 77 be added to the Season 3 page?

3) Finally, "Tricia Tanaka Is Dead" can be confirmed as a Hurley flashback; the writers said it was in the October 30th podcast.

Thanks a bunch, and sorry to bother you --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  00:11, 4 February 2007 (PST)

BOB is back!!! --Princess Dharma (banned) 10:26, 7 February 2007 (PST)

  • Please come in chat. --PandoraX 10:39, 7 February 2007 (PST)

Thanks

Thanks somehow a clone of my userpage had appeared. Don't know how. --Princess Dharma (banned) 11:03, 7 February 2007 (PST)

Mittelos, etc.

  • I think you see what I mean by "atypical" hoax site now... I think we need to leave it up at least this week. It was unusual because it was based on spoilers, which I think came out from a special limited-viewing sneak preview that was given to a few people (and that's where they got the info for Rachel, Richard Alpert, Mittelos Bioscience, the logo of the company, etc). A lot of people are talking about it on about 5 forums I've been to. --PandoraX 20:21, 7 February 2007 (PST)

Thanks for setting up the custom lostbook.css for me. I appreciate it! Hunter 07:46, 1 March 2007 (PST)

I'm basing it on the following

The Lost Moment clip, and the fact that the only time that character appears in the next few episodes is in that one episode. Jack doesn't have his tattoos in the clip, so therefore the scene must be flashback and this episode. Its pretty clear cut to me, official clip, plus casting information via ABCMediaNet. -- Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  18:32, 8 February 2007 (PST)

Customizing tab

Can you help with that detail? You're probably the best person to answer that question: How can the appearance of the theory tab be customized in the different language versions of Lostpedia? For example, in the French version how can the word "theories" be made to appear with its appropriate accent on the e: "théories"? To visualize, here's an example: [1]. I see that the Portuguese version has done it, the theory tab reading "teorias". Is it done with a MediaWiki page or something? How exactly? Thanks. -- Cheers 18:52, 8 February 2007 (PST)

Re: Juliet Pic

I did it on purpose, so the picture will look like the promotional pictures that take more space than a regular screen cap. If you want, I'll upload the screen cap. Obi-Dan Kenobi 18:37, 13 February 2007 (PST)

Problem Fixed

Hey Jabrwocky, just wanted to drop by a thanks. All this code confuses me; it's a miracle how I got my userpage to look like that (well I did mostly modify it from already existing codes). Namaste, --Gateboy42 13:39, 14 February 2007 (PST)

Page Moves

Thanks for the info! --Jackdavinci

Lost-Media screenshots Policy

  • PandoraX suggested I aks you about this: Wondering what the policy is regarding using the Lost-Media screenshots. Their usage seems to indicate it's ok as long as there's attribution and the whole gallery isn't copied but cropping would delete their watermark. I've also seen it suggested that it's okay to use them as long as they are flagged for later replacement. Any ideas? The image usage page wasn't informative. Thanks! --Jackdavinci
Lost-media doesn't own the copyright on any of those files. Feel free to crop-away.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 09:00, 16 February 2007 (PST)

Hi-res Pics

Hey, where do you get the deliciously hi-res pics? I've only been able to find thumb-size screenshots through some sites, and saw that you had some ones better from the ones I uploaded. Bellemichelle 08:47, 16 February 2007 (PST)

Thanks a bunch! Bellemichelle 08:51, 16 February 2007 (PST)


Lostbook

Just wondering if you've done any more fixes, cause it now works perfectly on IE7 for me. Pan is still having the image issue though on IE6 --Nickb123 (Talk) 09:01, 16 February 2007 (PST)

No more fixes in the last day. IE7 is fine but IE6 still needs work. Maybe this weekend I'll get to it.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 09:03, 16 February 2007 (PST)
Kewl, I think actually I realise why yesterday it wasn't working, I was on the laptop and I've just remembered that that's still IE6, whereas the PC is IE7. Still, looks pretty awesome, and just one more thing to sort then eh. Hopefully we can make it default in the next couple of weeks :) --Nickb123 (Talk) 09:11, 16 February 2007 (PST)

Patchy

I know the name mikhail whatshisnuts is confirmed in a media release, but isn't posting it before the episode airs kind of a spoiler? Shouldn't we wait? -BearDog 14:50, 16 February 2007 (PST)

It's officially released and there's not much we can do to prevent the information from getting out anyway. I don't think this is very spoilerish.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 14:52, 16 February 2007 (PST)

Chat

  • For a sec? 2 questions. --PandoraX 12:30, 18 February 2007 (PST)

Lol apologies for that, you yanks and your crazy spelling :-) --Nickb123 (Talk) 14:58, 18 February 2007 (PST)

The Swan's interior

Ok I got every thing on the The Swan's interior put on the swan page you can get rid of the interior page now--Mr.hanso 19:07, 18 February 2007 (PST)

Lostbook

  • I'm having an internet problem now (they're coming out to fix soon), and my connection is slow as molasses, but the two or three pages I looked at (main page, preferences page, editing view of an article) looked good to me, the image bug and the alignment problem seem gone to me. Will look more in detail later when it doesn't take me 3 min just to load pg. --PandoraX 07:58, 21 February 2007 (PST)

Site Notice

Hey, a few minutes ago, the site notice ended with "Wednesday 23". I assumed it was supposed to be the date and started to leave a note on the sitenotice talk page that today's 

the 21st, but before I saved I saw that it had changed to "Wednesday 00". What do the digits at the end actually represent? -BearDog 16:12, 21 February 2007 (PST)
Oops, and now it says warns us about those spoil-happy Canadians, with no digits at all. Nevermind! -BearDog 16:13, 21 February 2007 (PST)
I was testing and shouldn't have saved that line. {{#time:l H}} returns Sunday 22. The weird thing is that the day seems to be based on local date (of the server) and the time is returned in UTC.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 16:15, 21 February 2007 (PST)
Wait a second, where in the world is it the 23rd today? Just how many datelines do we have? Oh, wait, was that the hour in military time? Nevermind. I get it. Thanks! -BearDog 16:17, 21 February 2007 (PST)

Your Warning

Firstly please post on my main talk page in future and second I don't think saying fool convenes a personal attack. If so then I know a few users who are in deep poo. Princess Dharma (banned) 11:44, 22 February 2007 (PST)

Not avoiding anything mate :)

Just doing a few jobs before I leave the house for a few hours. You know me, once I get on that chat, I'm likely to be late getting back :) I might be on in a bit when I'm back :-)  Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  13:01, 22 February 2007 (PST)

My Talk Page

But I don't see anything wrong with changing my talk page. It would be much easier and less confusing for it so stay as it is. --Princess Dharma (banned) 13:25, 22 February 2007 (PST)


Marik

...possibly just blocked himself lol... I'm sure even setting 0 hours does something. Am I right? --Nickb123 (Talk) 09:52, 23 February 2007 (PST)

Monty (comic)

Is it okay if I add photos from the strip onto the page about the comic paroding Lost? --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 14:03, 23 February 2007 (PST)

  • Thanks, I din't know what to do --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 14:07, 23 February 2007 (PST)

Problematic translation

  • The problem is, there's an issue with that phrase in French, that's why I didn't go ahead and have the translation. I know a bit of French myself (a real little bit), so I went to my friend, who lives in France, does professional translation (and is a big fan of the show) last night. He and another French person both told me that they cannot translate the "Vis" part properly, because it's used in a strange way, and there's some debate going on now over the meaning, that's why I'd rather not have an "official" translation yet. I'll ask Cheers what he thinks as well. Regardless, the basic meaning is about "A classic, chapter and verse", it has nothing to do with a fleet of ships, as the other guy kept trying to put in :) --PandoraX 18:50, 23 February 2007 (PST)

Lostbook skins

  • Thanks! PS: Left a msg about the Xmas one in the forum, was wondering the same as you. --PandoraX 12:02, 24 February 2007 (PST)
  • Could you edit my CSS page as an example? Thanks. --PandoraX 12:06, 24 February 2007 (PST)

Can you help me with my LostBook? WarthenMan

What's the problem?    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 12:19, 24 February 2007 (PST)
Its not showing up on my screen. WarthenMan

Do you have the lostbook skin set as your skin in preferences? You should review Lostpedia:Lostbook first.
Yea I have Lostbook set as my skin. WarthenMan

It looks fine to me. Maybe you need to clear your cache or force a refresh.

Does that mean it's working now?    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 12:44, 24 February 2007 (PST)
Yes it does. WarthenMan


Calender

  • Hey Jabr, I created a table for the images, and a calender with the holiday dates for the next 4 years: [2]. If there's a way to automate the lostbook holiday skin changes by date (like we do with episode schedule updates), you could use that. --PandoraX 18:37, 25 February 2007 (PST)

The Man From Tallahassee

Jabrwocky, how come you deleted The Man from Tallahassee page and created The Man From Tallahassee? Shouldn't you have just moved it? --SilvaStorm

There was no reason to keep the title since it didn't have the right capitalization.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 20:36, 25 February 2007 (PST)

User talk

Hi, i was wondering if its allowed for people to delete their own user talk? Asking because PD just did it.. --Lewis-Talk-Contribs 12:00, 28 February 2007 (PST)

I left her another note about this. Also, she is receiving one more day of ban for continuing to insult other users.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 12:04, 28 February 2007 (PST)

Need Some Help

Hi how do you make a template?--Nokia (Talk) 21:43, 1 March 2007 (PST)

Oh thankyou this should help.--Nokia (Talk) 21:43, 1 March 2007 (PST)

Template:Ep.

Do you know how long I spent creating that template? I, and a lot of other users I know, like to use "." instead of "x" when writing an episode's number (eg. 3.08 instead of 3x08), so why did you have to delete it? --SilvaStorm

It's the same template as Template:Ep except you're using a "." instead of an "x". It does not display any differently. You'll just need to get used to using an "x" when using the existing template.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 06:55, 1 March 2007 (PST)
Understood. I am just used to using "."'s. --SilvaStorm

Nokia Award

Congratulation you have won the Nokia Award for helping me. You can put this template on your user page.--Nokia (Talk) 09:46, 2 March 2007 (PST)


Two things

Hi, could you please remove the delete tag from the page User:Nokia/ClickA, now that it has been moved to the user's private space instead of being deleted. Also, what will you do with this one, which you had previously deleted and was re-created?: Template:ClickA (see its talk page, its log and how it was revived on other users pages where it had been placed through the sig of its previous creator [3]). -- Cheers 01:13, 4 March 2007 (PST)

They're not using it from their own choice. It was placed on their pages by the user who created it. -- Cheers 09:39, 4 March 2007 (PST)
It's included in another user's signature now (mr hanso). It's not a bad template, but it needed some documentation. I think it can be kept now.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 09:41, 4 March 2007 (PST)
He's the one who created it in the first place and placed his sig on other people's pages. Besides, the delete consensus seemed pretty clear, as it was unanimous. So, it's okay for someone to just re-create a page to get around a recent delete decision? Good trick. Consistent policy. -- Cheers 09:39, 4 March 2007 (PST)
I thought this was originally made by Nokia. I know that both mr. hanso and nokia are using it so it could stay in the regular template space. My original objections were that it was only used by one user so it should stay in the user namespace. Put it up for deletion review again if you feel it should be deleted. Make sure you put it in a noinclude section.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 09:56, 4 March 2007 (PST)

Template:Ep

Thanks for letting me know. Yes, I created that template from scratch. I'm not going to bother making any effort to talk to him about it on Wikipedia, though. I suspect the Wikipedia community will ultimately decide not to use it. -- Dagg talk contribs4 8 11:46, 5 March 2007 (PST)

Ban Template

I still think it is pretty lazy not to remove my ban template as that is what I look for to check wether I'm allowed back on the site or not. Princess Dharma (banned)

I am sorry I thought it as a SysOps job to help and guide users not demean and patronize them. I don't need adminitrative guidance thank-you very much as I was unaware I was in violation of 'any rule. I asked to see where it told me I could not do the things I was forbidden from doing but was refused. Princess Dharma (banned)

My Sig

Don't touch my sig. If I wanted it touched I'd have asked I'll fix it in a bit. Princess Dharma (banned)

Nokia

Why is Nokia able to delete her talk page yet I am not? Princess Dharma (banned)

Sorry I'd like to take the last comment back. I did not realize that you had archeived it. I would have done this but she left one comment which was placed before another. Princess Dharma (banned)

She tried to delete content previously. Princess Dharma (banned)

If you're referring to Nokia then He is a he DrGiggles 12:41, 7 March 2007 (PST)

I don't really give one what gender she is. Also since when was it any of my business to go around setting up user boxes for a person who cannot be bothered to do it themselves? Princess Dharma (banned)

You're absolutely right. It really isn't your business to do it. In the future you should leave a kind message to your fellow Lostpedian and give him or her time to take corrective action. If after a while you don't see resolution to the issue notify one of your friendly Lostpedia sysops. I stepped in to assist Nokia in this case to extinguish this flamewar before it became a wildfire.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 12:46, 7 March 2007 (PST)


The user in question had labeled themselves as being offline at the time. The aws no flame war it was just them responding negatively to me reminding them of the rules. Princess Dharma (banned)

I was referring to what appears to be an ongoing feud with Nokia. Please try to keep things civil.    Jabberwock    talk    contribs    email   - 12:55, 7 March 2007 (PST)

I am. Princess Dharma (banned)

I'm sorry Jabrwocky7 I wasn't trying make this flamewar.--Nokia (Talk) (Email) (Contribs) 12:59, 7 March 2007 (PST)

I have desisted I did so a while ago. I am willing to forget this incident but the ruels do not state I have to befriend anyone. Princess Dharma (banned)

Ok I'm done with Princess Dharma she's really just showed me who she really is so don't worry I'm not talking to her anymore. You just have to stay away from those kinds of users on lostpedia. Thanks again for stoping the flamewar I'm going to get back to editing now.--Nokia (Talk) (Email) (Contribs) 13:28, 7 March 2007 (PST)

I think Nokia's comments are beginning to border on personal attacks. She should consider retreating from her P.C to calm down a sec. I had already dropped the issue when she took it upon herself to try to rekindle it by insulting me. Princess Dharma (banned)

I would like to suggest that unless either of you intend to edit an article or do something that doesn't involve communicating to or about each other, then you should log out of Lostpedia for the rest of the evening until the ep has aired in the US, taking a break --Nickb123 (Talk) 13:35, 7 March 2007 (PST)

Archive

Thank you for setting it up for me.--Nokia (Talk) (Email) (Contribs) 12:43, 7 March 2007 (PST)

I'm sorry

I'm sorry about today I had a really bad day (in the real world) this will never happen again.--Nokia (Talk) (Email) (Contribs) 15:15, 7 March 2007 (PST)

Oops

) Sorry bout that, Jabr. I ran into an edit conflict redirecting Chess game, and redirected it to games over Flame computer. I didn't mean to override yours, and I think either redirect works fine, as long as it's not a main article. --PandoraX 21:06, 7 March 2007 (PST)
  • PS, do you think Flame video should be merged into the computer, as well? --PandoraX 21:07, 7 March 2007 (PST)

Restore

Can you restore my userpage please. You know the one you deleted without my consent? Nick had a go but all he restored as that clone from ages ago. Princess Dharma (banned)

Now would be nice. Princess Dharma (banned)

Are you just ignoring me??? Please I would like my main page back NOW. You should not have deleted it in the first place. Princess Dharma (banned)

I am getting tired of asking. I would like my main page back as you had no reason to remove it in the first place. Did I ask you? No. Princess Dharma (banned)

Signing With Four Tildes

  • This is a big problem, I think, because new users just don't do it. So.. I had an idea. How about, when they sign up, on the page where it says "Now you have an account on LostPedia" or whatever, add a little note about four tildes. That way, they know straight away. Thoughts? --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  05:45, 10 March 2007 (PST)
