Linderman

• Just to further compound things: the clip they showed at the Paley Festival doesn't confirm that Linderman is an evolved human. It confirms that he claims to be an evolved human. He should be added to this page when he displays a power, not when he says he has one.--Hardvice (talk) 15:59, 15 March 2007 (EDT)
  • That's why I entered it commented out. Hopefully it will keep others from coming along after seeing the spoilers that he will have a power, and adding him prematurely, when the see the commented entry already there. This is no difference than the precedence we have done in the past with Candace and Dale. Both of them were listed before it was confirmed, yet commented out to deter anyone from adding them prematurely. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 03/15/2007 16:06 (EST)
    • Right. I just don't want somebody to see that scene, which doesn't prove he's evolved, and restore it.--Hardvice (talk) 16:24, 15 March 2007 (EDT)
      • I just added clarification comments within the comments themselves...hopefully that will be enough to prevent any premature showing of that row by any semi-conscious, non-trolling person. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 03/15/2007 16:36 (EST)
    • Technically, the difference is that Candace and Dale were true spoilers--we already knew they had powers before they appeared. Heck, Candace was on the list, so we knew she had powers months ago. Here, Linderman is saying he has powers, and that's not always to be trusted. ... However, Malcolm McDowell did tell Entertainment Weekly he had a power, which I tend to believe a bit more than the scene referenced.... Personally, I don't mind having Linderman here commented out, I just don't think it's necessary. If somebody comes along and adds him to the list, then we should either delete it until it airs, or comment it out. By putting it in early, I feel it encourages adding spoilers to pages early. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:48, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Reformat

If we get rid of the actor column (which is out-of-world info in an in-world article), and merge the status column with the name (i.e. "Brian Davis (deceased)", then we can get rid of the cryptic codes in the source column and opt for things like "The List", "The Map", "The Journal". Thoughts?--Hardvice (talk) 02:10, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

• So you can see the difference and to make maintenance easier, I added a template. Here's a sample of what I'm talking about:

Name	Power	Location	Sources
Felipe Acerra (deceased)	Phasing	180 Normandie St	The List, The Map
Charlie Andrews (deceased)	Enhanced memory	Midland, TX	Seven Minutes to Midnight
Abu Aswan	Unknown	1428 Sabah, N Ave. Cairo, Egypt	The List, The Map
Austin	Healing	Unknown	GN #25
Claire Bennet	Rapid cell regeneration	Odessa, TX	Genesis
David Berman	Unknown	New York, NY	The List
Byron Bevington	Precognition	Marshfield, VT	The List, The Map
Penkala Burton	Unknown	12 Marshy Lane, Albert Lea, MN	The List, The Map
Daniel Buzzetti	Unknown	Greely, CO	The List
Frank Cavanaugh (deceased)	Unknown	Unknown	The List, The Map
Tracy Chobham	Teleportation	4 Pear Lane, Frostburg, MD	The List, The Map
Nicholas Datre (deceased)	Unknown	Unknown	The List
David (deceased)	Unknown	Chicago, IL	Turning Point
Brian Davis (deceased)	Telekinesis	New York, NY	Episode:Six Months Ago
Arthur Dowland	Unknown	Unknown	The Map
Sarah Ellis (Eden McCain) (deceased)	Persuasion	Utah, Los Angeles, CA and New York, NY	Don't Look Back
Rebecca Finder	Unknown	Unknown	The Map
Harry Fletcher	Unknown	New York, NY	, The Map
Paula Gramble	Unknown	Monteith, IA	The List
Hana Gitelman	Electronic data transception	Israel and Missoula, MT	GN #13, 1x16
Meredith Gordon	Pyrokinesis	Kermit, TX	The Fix
Gabriel Gray (Sylar)	Intuitive aptitude (See also: power theft)	New York, NY	One Giant Leap
<span id="Pam Green1">Pam Green1	Unknown	Unknown	The List, The Map
The Haitian	Mental manipulation	Odessa, TX	One Giant Leap
<span id="Amid Halebi2">Amid Halebi2	Unknown	Los Angeles, CA	The List, The Map
D.L. Hawkins	Phasing	Las Vegas, NV	Hiros

The "deceased" reflexes are automatic, and allow for either just a "deceased" notation (like Felipe Acerra) or a link to Sylar's victims (like Charlie). The links for powers, names, and locations are also automatic. See Template:Evolved for a rundown of how it works. Having a template will also allow us to make major changes to the formatting of the table with minimal adjustments to the template itself, so we should probably switch to a template even if we keep the current layout.--Hardvice (talk) 02:39, 28 March 2007 (EDT)
