Nice Work

Hello,

Nice work on the front page. It was definitely getting stale and needed some color! --Admin 15:49, 25 January 2006 (PST)

You all every Butties mysterious?

Um, There's no mystery, the band was in decadence and they needed the money and they took the most humiliating job possible... Maybe we could create a tag for 'Funny'. I won't move it because I respect you, but I believe it needs its own tag. --GodEmperorOfHell 10:35, 2 February 2006 (PST)

I'll move it tomorrow as I'm just off to bed! --Plkrtn 17:31, 2 February 2006 (PST)

images on character portal

instead of making minis of all of the images cant you just set the width to somthing like 75px and it'll scale down to that size? 75px KoolAidMan 19:29, 19 May 2006 (PDT)

You can do it like that, but I'm aware of the mess of a job most browsers do at rescaling an image, rather than letting a graphics design picture do the work. --Plkrtn 19:33, 19 May 2006 (PDT)

In my experience as long as the page is valid html then the browser does fine, media wiki does all fo the coding for you, this would save so much time too.

MI:III and Star Trek IX

Ok, here's the deal; I deleted them because if we started including every project that the LOST people is involved into we would never end. We don't have an entry on The Middleman that was scripted by Javier Grillo Marxuach or the sitcom Cynthia Watros will be in next season. My opinion is that this is not the JJAbramsopedia or the Lindelof and Cuse database. There have been minor references to LOST in ALIAS and yet we don't have an ALIAS entry. You might be angry at me, but My opinion is we don't need those entries when that info can be included inside the creative team's individual entries. I am not opposed to having them as redirects to a subsection of the respective entry. But I would love to hear more opinions. GodEmperorOfHell --10:08, 24 May 2006 (PDT)

Some help with deleting

I've been working to consolidate the references to some of the tools and resources that folks use to analyze the web pages and secret codes (in Lost Experience and other sections) but got a little carried away with the categories.

My thinking is that 'HTML_tools' shouldn't be a (sub)category, just an end page with the content it has now, referencing 'Resources'. However, I can't delete the page and would like your (sysop) help for this. I've already created a non-category version of the page.

If there is a simple yet obvious way to do this, let me know. I'm asking you because I "fear" GEoH's response.

Thanks, Dmuk 12:48, 24 May 2006 (PDT)

Ok, read the discussion on MI:III and star trek. I deleted the articles without realizing you had created them, >I guess that's an official sorry. But anywho, I'll just have to go with you on this, I am so bloody tired with the novajoee23 vs. novajoe24 thing and the scott vs. steve affair. And I need to have lunch. GodEmperorOfHell --15:05, 24 May 2006 (PDT)

Faux Novajoe is here.

Ok, it's four of us and one of him. please be alert. GodEmperorOfHell --17:11, 24 May 2006 (PDT)

Afraid not.

Thunderbird and I discovered the hard way that it only prevents you from editing pages, not from accessing special functions as delete and unblock. He blocked us and we still could undo much of the damage and we could unblock ourselves pretty easily. We gotta concentrate on undoing deletions and other automatic things.

User:MrSurge

Thanks for banning him temporarily. -- Ramirez Selvarn 17:44, 24 May 2006 (PDT) MrSurge Replies: If a person is coming to this site an hour before the airing of the show, Is he/she not looking for spoilers, I marked my changes with the spoiler tag. There was no warnings on the main page before I started editing, only after. As european viewers, you will get spoilers prior to your airing or downloading anyhow. I'm not sure the reason for the policy.

10pm??

Should we make the no_spoiler template expire at 11pm EST tonight, as the show ends then?

Since I'm PST, would it be reasonable to ask that no spoilers be posted until 11pm PST?

Rollback on Third Policeman?

You are counting that comment as a spoiler??! Awww...come on :) At least re-advance it after the ban then? PanSavant 18:22, 24 May 2006 (PDT)

Hi there, I am marking pages for deletion for a reason, if I mark them as stubs there is a chance for them to remain stubs forever and I am hoping for someone to fix them and save them from being eliminated. I reverted your last edit of Golden Retriever because you eliminated the categories and as you know I empty the uncategorized pages list every once in a while. I am also deleting pages that have information that is very scant and not very useful that link toi no other entry. If I see an entry is very small and only one article links to it I include its content in the referring entry and delete the original, that's why I deleted HTTP and SMTP. Just keeping things clean. --GodEmperorOfHell 07:04, 28 May 2006 (PDT)

There is a vast difference between removing relevant things that people might search for, and removing nonsense posts like HTTP and SMTP. The podcast refers to several things that people might search, and it looks worse for us if we don't have an article on them at all. I'd rather a stub than a screen saying "Nothing matching this search term". -- Plkrtn talk contribs email 07:06, 28 May 2006 (PDT)

When is an article too short? Why can't a term be a redirect to a relevant section of a larger article that may contain information that the user was not looking for but would be sueful?. Let's say I look for 'Freckles', shall we have a complete entry on it or redirect to the proper section of List of Nicknames? Why can't we have a Production Glossary that includes all those terms and redirects to it?--GodEmperorOfHell 07:11, 28 May 2006 (PDT)

Great suggestions. But for the mean time, you don't delete existing articles without replacing them with something like your idea! Its not wiki-quette. -- Plkrtn talk contribs email 07:13, 28 May 2006 (PDT)
