Hallie

Congrats!--Piemanmoo 02:00, 2 December 2009 (EST)

• Thanks, PMM! I'm walking on air! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 02:04, 2 December 2009 (EST)
  • Around here, it's not too uncommon --Piemanmoo 02:06, 2 December 2009 (EST)
    • Although I am sort of new around here, and I don't know anybody well, I too would like to congratulate you on Hallie's birth! So..here it is...Congratulations! :-)--Hiroman 02:11, 2 December 2009 (EST)
      • Thanks so much! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 02:13, 2 December 2009 (EST)
        • Congratulations, Ryan. :)--Riddler 08:02, 3 December 2009 (EST)
          • Yeah congrats, she looks very cute-- By Danko CH 10:53, 3 December 2009 (EST)

the watcher

Hey ryan, you put the watcher under the category of carnies, but it's been stated by him that he's not one, he just lives there. Kinda like what claire is just now, she's just a visitor, not a worker (although I have to say, I actually enjoyed the direction of the plot of claire being a carnie). --mc_hammark 12:08, 2 December 2009 (EST)

• But he did do work for the carnival. He ran the ball toss game...even if he felt like an outsider and an observer. He still worked for the carnival for a time. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 19:38, 2 December 2009 (EST)
  • First off, congrats on the baby! I have a couple of things about the Watcher. 1) He was not a carnie. He didn't run the ball toss game, he just used the game once to play one of his own sick games on Chris. He followed the Carnival around in order to destroy it. 2) Do we consider him dead, or alive? Your given a choice at the end of chapter 10, but it is debatable what the Bowmans would do themselves. You work with the iStory people, so is it possible to ask them?. Once more, congrats! :) --Ratclaws 20:15, 2 December 2009 (EST)
    • Thanks! My opinion about The Watcher being a carny--if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. He ran the game for a short time and traveled and lived with the carnival. But that's just the way I view it. As for his status of dead or alive, the only way I can think to address it is in the notes. Something like "In one ending of the iStory..., but in another ending..." should be fine. I haven't directly asked Zach Wilson, but I can. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:20, 2 December 2009 (EST)

Patroller

Hi Ryan, wow - of course, I would adore to be a patroller. Thank you so many very many much :)) Only, there's something that worries me so I left a message to your facebook account. Thanks :) -- Jan Rodrigo (talk) (contributions) 15:56, 2 December 2009 (EST)

• Got your message, and I replied back. I'll go ahead and promote you now. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 19:41, 2 December 2009 (EST)

If you want to make me a patroller, it's fine. I'll probably be doing the same patrolling that I'm doing now and basically doing pictures, quotes, fixing little errors and adding little bits of information that I spot, etc... But I'm glad to be recognized for it! NileQT87 21:08, 2 December 2009 (EST)

• Everything you're already doing is exactly why you were chosen, and it's exactly what you should be doing as a patroller. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:26, 2 December 2009 (EST)

my page

I wanted to, is it possible to delete my pages. I created four and i wanted to know if i could delete three. Or if i cant delete pages maybe you can. If you can the pages are --TedGordon 20:36, 2 December 2009 (EST)TedGordon/Katrina, --TedGordon 20:36, 2 December 2009 (EST)TedGordon/LucasTelekinesis, --TedGordon 20:36, 2 December 2009 (EST)TedGordon/WilliamBehr. Thanks

• No problem. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:26, 2 December 2009 (EST)
  • Actually, there was a little problem. I could only find User:TedGordon/Katrina. Please provide links for any other pages you want deleted. Thanks. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:44, 2 December 2009 (EST)

Magdelena

Hey, can I bring your attention to Talk:Magdalena_Muller#Not_sure_how_nobody_caught_this..., and get your opinion?--Riddler 08:02, 3 December 2009 (EST)

Hi Ryan

Hi Ryan i'm having a little problem and i think you can help :), i just made a template for my talk page archives and want to put it in the right section of the page. So i tried <right> (ofcourse after that i put </right> there) but it doesn't work (yes i put it in the template). I hope you can help me :) Here is the template: Template. Thanks -- Yoshi | Talk | Contributions 12:27, 3 December 2009 (EST)

• No problem. I added align=right to the table code. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 13:07, 3 December 2009 (EST)
  • Thanks Ryan:), btw can i add you to my HW friend list :) ?-- Yoshi | Talk | Contributions 13:19, 3 December 2009 (EST)
    • Of course. I'd be honored. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 13:22, 3 December 2009 (EST)
      • Lol honored, you are a admin and done a lot for this wiki. I'm honored that i can add you.-- Yoshi | Talk | Contributions 13:26, 3 December 2009 (EST)

Patrolling

Hi, Ryan. I'm a litlle confused about patrolling. I'm going to this page and the unpatrolled edits goes upto 29 November there. And there are so many unpatrolled user pages, user talks, talk pages and normal pages also. So what should be the priority, should I start with main pages first? Should I start from earlist possible or newest possible? Does all talk pages need patrolling? What do you suggest me? -- Jan Rodrigo (talk) (contributions) 13:30, 3 December 2009 (EST)

• The priority for patrolling is main namespace pages. After that would be episode, graphic novel, webisode, etc. It doesn't really matter if you start with the earliest or the latest (but be advised that the older edits become "unpatrollable" after a little while, so it might be a better idea to do the older ones first). Talk pages should also be patrolled--you're looking for signatures on each post, no spoilers, and possible intimidating behavior. Hope that helps. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 13:59, 3 December 2009 (EST)
  • Yeah that was great. Thank you :) -- Jan Rodrigo (talk) (contributions) 14:01, 3 December 2009 (EST)
    • Ryan, one question again. If one main page has many unpatrolled edits in its history, should they need patrolling one by one or only the last one is enough? -- Jan Rodrigo (talk) (contributions) 14:08, 3 December 2009 (EST)
      • One by one. That's the only way to patrol edits. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:21, 3 December 2009 (EST)
        • Thank you :) -- Jan Rodrigo (talk) (contributions) 03:11, 4 December 2009 (EST)

Slow Burn, Part 7

Hello Ryan! I have a doubt about the webisode Slow Burn, Part 7, I noticed that at the beginning of the video, Lydia is watching some pictures of Amanda with another girl. Who is? Maybe Carol? Thanks,--TanderixUTCR 19:36 (Italy) 3 December 2009 (EST)

• Carol was her aunt, and is actually older than Lydia. The girl--and boy--in those pictures don't look much older than Amanda. They were probably just her friends. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 14:01, 3 December 2009 (EST)
  • Ok, Thanks! --TanderixUTCR 21:13 (Italy), 3 December 2009 (EST)

Cloning

I don't know if you've noticed, but there is a discussion over here about whether Eli's ability is cloning or not. There are multiple things which make it unlikely to be cloning, but some properties that do. I myself wish to split the article, but I think it would be good if we had your input. --mc_hammark 05:01, 4 December 2009 (EST)

Ryan, Sorry to bother you, but there's a dispute broken out in the Cloning page about whether Eli's ability is the same as Cloning, or something else. Would you mind giving your opinion? You're rather respected here and so your thoughts will carry weight. I myself believe there is substantial evidence that the powers are the same. Swm 10:43, 4 December 2009 (EST)

• Thanks, guys. Not a bother at all. I saw the discussion, but I haven't read through it completely. I'm personally kind of torn between the two choices. It's obvious that there are some differences between the powers, but are they really different powers? I'd like to do a bit of research before I reply on the talk page. I'm also going to ask a few members of the crew. Hopefully later this evening I'll be able to weigh in. Thanks for asking--hang tight! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 11:56, 4 December 2009 (EST)
• Thank you very much. By all means read the discussion properly at a later date, because it's gotten rather messy. God, I miss the days when BTE could clear up problems like this...on another note, do you know why that stopped for Season 4? Swm 13:41, 4 December 2009 (EST)

Suresh "Extra Bits"

Sorry to bother you with things I assume crazy, but would you happen to know the dates of when these came out? Because I wold like to know the date(s). Thanks, ~~IHH—Talk 19:57, 4 December 2009 (EST)

• I believe it was either November 3 or November 4. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 20:43, 4 December 2009 (EST)
  • Thanks! I needed the week acually! And these just so happen to be in the same week! So thanks! I needed them to put them here under Pod One of Season Four! Thanks, Ryan! Hope everything is good! ~~IHH—Talk 15:58, 5 December 2009 (EST)

Dee H

Hey Ryan, I wanted to get your input on if you believe Dee H should be confirmed for Luminescence or not. There's been some discussion on the talk page that you can check out to get both points of view :) --OutbackZack 04:13, 5 December 2009 (EST)

• Thanks. I'll leave my comments there. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 04:29, 5 December 2009 (EST)

GNs

Hi Ryan, I know that volume 5 won't restart again until February but will the GNs continue over Christmas?-- By Danko CH 05:40, 5 December 2009 (EST)

• There's nothing to suggest otherwise, so I certainly hope so. --Radicell 09:08, 5 December 2009 (EST)
  • Except that I thought it was returning in January on the 11th, since the new series of chuck is back to its old time slot at 8? --mc_hammark 13:47, 5 December 2009 (EST)
    • The commercials after The Fifth Stage said January 4th, after Chuck at 8/7 c. So Heroes will be back January 4th, 9/8 c. ~~IHH—Talk 14:55, 5 December 2009 (EST)
      • I honestly don't know if the novels will continue during the hiatus. They usually do--except during the summer of 2009. I hope that budget cuts from NBC (and the change in NBC's ownership from GE to Comcast) don't affect the winter hiatus. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 21:12, 5 December 2009 (EST)

A suggestion for NBC

I know that you have some connections with NBC Ryan, so I was wondering, is there any way that someone can send them suggestions. The main suggestion I have for them is about the webisodes and that I think (even if they make a youtube channel) that they should have some way of letting people outside the US watch these videos. If you could let me know a way of sending this suggestion to them I would appreciate it, even if it's just an email address. Thanks. --mc_hammark 14:10, 5 December 2009 (EST)

• TOTALLY agree that NBC should make something like a Youtube channel, so it wont cost them any money to stream video's from the USA to other countries. -- Yoshi | Talk | Contributions 14:13, 5 December 2009 (EST)
  • Same, it gets annoying having to trawl through Youtube every time a new one comes out-- Leckie -- Talk 14:17, 5 December 2009 (EST)
    • I can suggest it...but it's really more of an NBC thing than a Heroes thing. My connections are primarily with the people who create Heroes, not the bigwigs who make decisions at NBC. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 21:13, 5 December 2009 (EST)
      • Well anything could start the ball rolling. The person you talk to could talk to someone higher than them and so on until someone says to someone at NBC. Anything you do is appreciated Ryan. Thanks :) --mc_hammark 07:20, 6 December 2009 (EST)

Character Updates

I've been noticing it alot lately. People are copying from the episode synopsis the information that applies to the person. See here, here, and here for some examples. I was told when I first came that it wasn't right to do that, and frankly, I see why now. If you look at most of the characters this season, most of the summary's on the character's page. Inculding the five minute appearing characters. The sections are way too big and it makes the page too big. Can you please do something about this? Thanks. ~~IHH—Talk 21:57, 5 December 2009 (EST)

• Sure. What would you like me to do about it? -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:15, 5 December 2009 (EST)
  • I don't know but I was told not to do it, so can you tell others not to do it? I don't remember who it was who told me but you seem like you can get the point across... ~~IHH—Talk 22:30, 5 December 2009 (EST)
    • No problem. If you can help target the users who are doing it, I will gladly send them a kind message. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:03, 5 December 2009 (EST)
      • I may be the guilty party here, I assumed hers and Claire's summaries were so similar I used some parts, rewording them. I was just trying to save time as they are so similar but I'll rewrite character summaries in the future, sorry.-- By Danko CH 09:20, 6 December 2009 (EST)
        • So, someone needs to make the character updates again? That means that there should't be a X at the checklist for The Fifth Stage? -- Yoshi | Talk | Contributions 09:27, 6 December 2009 (EST)
          • I'm pretty guilty about that aswell, for example when I tried to do Hiro's for Once Upon a Time in Texas, I was copying straight from the episode synopsis, and when I previewed it, it was huge, so I've tried to stop with that. --Leckie -- Talk 10:38, 6 December 2009 (EST)
            • Well I'm not the type of person who targets a certain person, but I've just noticed that this season's summaries are quite a bit longer than previous ones I have seen. And I think the X still can go in the checklist, however we may need to edit some pages to make the summaries shorter..~~IHH—Talk 15:12, 6 December 2009 (EST)
              • I've certainly done it too, especially when I first started editing, and especially with characters who only appear for a few moments. I mean, there's only so many ways you can say the same thing, right? But the tendency that I've seen also this season is that some editors are simply copying and pasting long passages from the episode summaries without changing much. It's not "wrong", I just think it should be discouraged, that's all. I don't want anybody to feel upset or guilty about it, either--but if we want a high quality wiki, it's important to have high quality summaries. So it shouldn't ever be looked at as a disciplinary thing, but just a tip to help improve one's writing. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:38, 6 December 2009 (EST)

Newpage templates

Since there are so many of them, can we give them a category, like Category:Newpage templates?--Boom D  83  10:30, 6 December 2009 (EST)

• Unfortunately, no. The way the templates are structured, they don't allow for categories. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:38, 6 December 2009 (EST)

Healing touch

Hi Ryan, we still haven't been able to reach a consensus at Talk:Healing touch about what to do with Jeremy, so if you feel comfortable to ask a writer whether or not Jeremy's power is the same as Linderman and Ishi's power, it would really help us. Thanks!--Referos 14:38, 6 December 2009 (EST)

Archive tables

Hi. I just archived my talk page and on it I made the link-to table-thing, but it isn't showing all of the tables. How can I fix this? ~~IHH—Talk 16:14, 6 December 2009 (EST)

• The maximum number of topics is 20. You'd have to separate it into different archive pages. - Jenx222 | U / T / C | <inlcudeonly>08:00, 7 January 2012 (EST) 16:19, 6 December 2009 (EST)
  • I don't use jumps because I don't find them necessary. As long as there's a table of contents on the archived page, that's probably all that's really necessary. But if you wanted to, you could always put individual links in by hand--you know, the old fashioned way! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:40, 6 December 2009 (EST)

Talk page archiving

Hey Ryan, I would like to archive my talk page again, but as (I think) you know, I always fail quite epically at it. Can you help me please? -- Leckie -- Talk 17:47, 6 December 2009 (EST)

• Why don't you try it first, and I'll fix any mistakes you might make. That way you can learn to do it rather than just have somebody else do it for you. Cut everything from your talk page that you want to archive, paste it into a new page (called something like "User talk:Leckie/Archive"), and put the archive template at the top. Then, if you want, you can put a link on your talk page back to the archive page. Let me know when you're done and I'll check for any mistakes. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:52, 6 December 2009 (EST)
  • I think that went pretty well, I think what the problem was last time, was that I tried to move my talk page and then it just went a bit wacko! :) Thanks for the help! -- Leckie -- Talk 18:00, 6 December 2009 (EST)
    • Looks good to me. Yeah, things get a little messed up when you move a page. It's not "wrong", but it does mess up the history a bit... You look like you did a fine job, though. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 18:09, 6 December 2009 (EST)
      • hey ryan, I recently put my talk page into an archive, but it's not the same as yours and other talk pages archives. Is it ok to leave it like that or should I do something different? --mc_hammark 18:11, 6 December 2009 (EST)
        • You mean User talk:Mc hammark/Archive 1? The only thing that you might consider doing is adding {{archivepage}}{{tocright}} to the top of the page. Is that what you're looking for? -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 18:17, 6 December 2009 (EST)
