Primatech's Character Pages

I dunno what to call them. Anyway, I was noticing for the characters that have a page (or are mentioned) in Primatech's online Assignment Tracker 2.0 (is that what it's called?) they have this statistic (which I found interesting/informative) about percent control over the power(s). Is that worth mentioning on the character and/or powers pages? And if so, what section would it go in? --SpellingBee^{~Talk to me!~}_~Contribs~ 14:32, 30 April 2008 (EDT) P.S. - I sent a Facebook friend request.

• Okay, check out the abilities sections on each of the seven characters' pages (for instance, Donna Dunlap#Evolved Human Abilities). Let me know what you think. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:17, 30 April 2008 (EDT)
  • The part about the % control is great. My problem with the numbers about biological/cerebral/elemental/temporal-spatial is that those #s have no meaning. Maybe including or linking to an explanation of the significance of the number would help? --SpellingBee^{~Talk to me!~}_~Contribs~ 19:07, 1 May 2008 (EDT)
    • But do we know what those numbers mean? I mean, we can guess, but we ultimately don't really know anything about those numbers other than the subjects they're linked to (biological, cerebral). To list anything more would be speculative. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 20:39, 2 May 2008 (EDT)
      • Maybe the best solution is to leave off those numbers, and just keep the percent control number, which actually does make sense as a statistic without requiring guessing the meaning/significance of a number? --SpellingBee^{~Talk to me!~}_~Contribs~ 23:14, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
        • I don't think there's any harm in reporting the numbers--that way they can be left open for interpretation. Just because we don't know what they mean doesn't mean we don't need to include them at all. It just means we shouldn't presume their significance. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:17, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
          • Ok, let's go w/ that. --SpellingBee^{~Talk to me!~}_~Contribs~ 23:00, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Albanian

Did you go to Albania as part of a Mormon mission, or was it for fun, or what inspired that? I'm just curious. --SpellingBee^{~Talk to me!~}_~Contribs~ 23:00, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

• When I was 19, I applied to go on a two-year mission, as most Mormon boys do. I was assigned to go to Albania. I learned a bit of the language in the Mission Training Center in Provo, UT, two months prior to going on my mission. The rest of my language acquisition was learned by writing down new words, keeping a dictionary handy, and asking a million questions. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:18, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Evsdropr's messages

He actually posted with "hhttp", should we just leave it? Therequiembellishere 19:21, 1 May 2008 (EDT)

• Oddly enough, I didn't get that email. Go figure. Let's preserve the double h, but make the link work. I'll take care of it now. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:21, 1 May 2008 (EDT)

need some article deleted without an AFD

User:SacValleyDweller/list of GN's by artist and User:SacValleyDweller/list of GN's by colorist wound up being bears to load. I wanted to have them be promoted to the mainspace or somwhere else for use, but their unwieldiness outweighs their utility, and I have a page now that is more usefully for what I need it for. I want those two pages deleted, but cant put the AFD on them. could you delete them for me?--SacValleyDweller (talk) 18:40, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

Hall interview?

Any progress on the transcription?--SacValleyDweller (talk) 02:23, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

• I've gotten very backlogged with life. Baldbobbo and MiamiVolts are being extrememly gracious in helping me out with the transcription. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 07:31, 9 May 2008 (EDT)
  • Progress report? --SacValleyDweller (talk) 01:21, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
    • I've got just a little done, but that's progress since it's a long interview. Editing is going slowly.--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:34, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
      • Progress?--SacValleyDweller (talk) 02:43, 21 May 2008 (EDT)
        • Thanks for being so patient, SVD. I actually just emailed Bob and Miami about it, and they're still working on it. It's no easy process! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 13:43, 21 May 2008 (EDT)

patrol some backlogs?

Got some more backlogs and stuff I dont wanna touch needing patrolling, would you catch that for me? --SacValleyDweller (talk) 18:59, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

• thanks!--SacValleyDweller (talk) 23:30, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
  • Again, please?--SacValleyDweller (talk) 23:57, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

on Gramar and gerunds...

Last I checked, the word "melting" in "Melting wrenches sure is fun!" isn't functioning as a noun in that sentence. The word there is being used as a verb in some fashion. To say "The melting of Dale's best wrench was a tragedy." would be using "melting" as a noun.--SacValleyDweller (talk) 01:26, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

• Yes, that's a much better example of a gerund. Remember, I'm only a second grade teacher! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 18:34, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
• This is my favorite section heading on the entire wiki.--Hardvice (talk) 18:40, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

E-Mail

Did you already send the reply you were going to send when you got home?--MiamiVolts (talk) 18:30, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

• No. I'm actually on my way out with my son for swimming lessons. Be back around 8 or 8:30! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 18:33, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

Season 3 Trailer

Hey - I just wanted to let you know that a teaser trailer for Season 3: Villains has been released on nbc.com. I don't know where to put the link (maybe on the Main Page under News?) so I'll give the URL to you and let you decide. "http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/video/video_display.shtml?mea=248965&dst=nbc|widget|NBC%20Video&__source=nbc|widget|NBC%20Video#mea=248965" -Dan

• Hi Dan, it's already listed on our spoiler section and under links.--MiamiVolts (talk) 22:54, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Woah! spoiler cast and crew?

Should I start staying away from here more with the spoilers about cast and crew and ep titles popping up lately? I mean, the following have already perforated my filters: (highlight to read ->) Joy has Super speed, Knox has metal mimicry (learned in Jan, but still), and Ep One of Us, One of Them from the latest crew member added (thank goodness that's all that has stuck!) Jeezzalou! --SacValleyDweller (talk) 01:18, 10 May 2008 (EDT)

• Most spoiler articles say "Spoiler" in the title. One really good way to avoid spoilers in the recent changes is to filter out spoiler articles. On special:recentchanges, go to the namespace dropdown box and choose "Spoiler". Then click the box that says "Invert selection". Click "Go", and you will see all recent changes that are not in the Spoiler namespace. Or more easily, you can click this link and it will do the same thing. In fact, I would just bookmark that link so you don't accidentally see anything you don't want to on the recent changes page. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 08:49, 10 May 2008 (EDT)
  • Out of curiosity, how did you find out about Joy? I thought all that info really was on spoiler pages? As for the new director, with the (relatively) new DPL template EpisodesCreated, I didn't realize that it would automatically start printing episode titles on that page. I suppose we could pretty easily move even crew member pages to the spoiler namespace, just to be on the safe side. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 08:56, 10 May 2008 (EDT)
    • I learned of her a few days ago from a mainspace page was made about her and some changes were made on Enhanced speed that were promptly reverted with something to the effect of "no spoilers allowed here." Simple inference lead me to put the two together. --SacValleyDweller (talk) 15:20, 10 May 2008 (EDT)
    • on the subject of moving new crew to spoiler space, not necessary with the spoiler free recent changes.--SacValleyDweller (talk) 01:45, 11 May 2008 (EDT)

Station (disambig)

Do you think "station" would be a good disambig? The police stations, fire stations, train stations and bus station come to mind...--MiamiVolts (talk) 21:45, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

• Yeah, I thought if that after revamping train (disambig). Would you like to do it, or would you like me to take care of it? -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:00, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
  • If you can, please take care of it. I'm going to add a gallery to Primatech Research, and then check and post the results of the upfronts before calling it a night.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:03, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
    • Sure thing. .... "Upfronts"? What's that? -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:09, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
      • Where/when the Networks announce their schedules for the fall season. See here for related discussion.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:21, 13 May 2008 (EDT)

Great Job!

Happy Birthday

• Happy Birthday, Ryan. :) (Admin 00:00, 23 May 2008 (EDT))
  • Thanks, that's very kind. The way things are going right now, it might be my new son's birthday, too! (Contractions are three minutes apart and getting closer...) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:04, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
    • That'd be great. :) I know when my mom was pregnant with my brother she was hoping he'd come on her birthday, but he ended up coming 2 days later. Good luck! :) (Admin 00:07, 23 May 2008 (EDT))
      • Thanks, Admin. I'll keep y'all updated... :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:08, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
