On your updgrading the List of articles related to the Company project...

That's a major change. Be sure you bring your plan up at Talk:List of articles related to the Company before you go and implement it to see if the changes you propose are wanted. --SacValleyDweller (talk) 16:25, 13 July 2008 (EDT)

• OK, good. :) My apologies if that came off a little stern, I don't know you all that well. :( --SacValleyDweller (talk) 16:31, 13 July 2008 (EDT)

Interviews

Great job getting those new interviews! It'll be cool to hear what some of the lesser known actors have to say, so thanks for getting them. I look forward to reading them! --

• Are the interviews definite? If so do we have Interview articles here for them yet? The Interview articles give people a place to submit questions for the interview. (Admin 16:33, 15 July 2008 (EDT))
• For future interviews I definitely recommend letting others submit question ideas (I'm glad people can submit for the Shalim interview). People usually come up with some really good questions. :) (Admin 17:32, 15 July 2008 (EDT))
  • Very cool getting an interview with Kiko as well. You may want to pace yourself, though, cause transcribing the interview properly can be a bit of work.--MiamiVolts (talk) 03:05, 16 July 2008 (EDT)
    • Try e-mailing Yule Caise, the director of the Webisodes, so that your Webisode interview collection can be more complete. I'd love to do it myself if I am not a total newbie in interviewing people. Chrisyu357 09:49, 18 July 2008 (EDT)
      • I can't find any info on how to contact Jim Martin online, but your best shot is to contact someone from the OWI (deas-nuts@the-owi.com) as they've done an interview with Jim already and they probably have his contact info. No luck with Rebeka Montoya though. Chrisyu357 10:38, 18 July 2008 (EDT)
        • BTW do you do the interview by phone or by e-mail? Just curious. -Chrisyu357 09:29, 19 July 2008 (EDT)
          • Wow, thanks for the fast reply. :) Chrisyu357 09:31, 19 July 2008 (EDT)
            • Is it out yet? Fable rocks, but unfortunately I haven't got a Xbox360, but Dead Rising on Wii makes my day slightly better. End of off topic discussion. :)Chrisyu357 09:35, 19 July 2008 (EDT)
              • I haven't really contacted a lot of people... just she and Tim Sale, so no worries. I'd like to do more interview with the crew members. BTW you don't need to sleep, do ya? :) Chrisyu357 12:29, 19 July 2008 (EDT)
                • OK, I guess I just got pwnd by time difference. Chrisyu357 12:36, 19 July 2008 (EDT)

Interviews (Part 2)

• Good job on getting the interviews! However, have you contacted the people at NBC? Because when I contacted them, they said, "For online outlets, we typically do not set up interviews until closer to the premiere. Nick D'Agosto is no longer on the show. If you not go directly to their personal publicists and work through myself or David, we would appreciate it. Thank you." Therefore, I would suggest contacting NBC if you haven't already, just to make sure it's okay. I'm not trying to burst your bubble or anything, but I just don't want you or the wiki getting into any trouble. Thanks,--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  04:05, 16 July 2008 (EDT)
• I am indeed. I take it you're the guy who's interviewing Christian Bowman over there? If you are, then I have your email address, so I'll email over a contact email for you.--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  10:04, 16 July 2008 (EDT)
  • NBC aren't letting us do any interviews with people who are still contracted to appear on the show this year. They've said to me they'll arrange something with me at the end of August. Until then, present cast members are off-limits. As for your list, Brea Grant has already been contacted, and she has agreed. I have contacted quite a few people, but not many of the main cast have replied. If you're going for guest cast and recurring cast only, then okay, because I haven't gone for any of them. As far as crew go, I have contacted Greg Beeman, Aron Eli Coleite, Dennis Hammer, Ragui Hanna, Cedric Tomacruz, Wendy and Lisa and Scott Boyd. But, to reiterate, main cast members have to go through NBC. My advice would be to stay clear of those, as I can tell you already that you won't be able to do it. I plan to have a mini-interview with Hayden Panettiere - but it's not going to happen till closer to the premiere. The same with Tim Kring, perhaps, or maybe Greg Grunberg. But, as I said, if you're going for other cast, make sure they're not with the show any more, as with Nicholas D'Agosto. Oh, and James Kyson Lee has already been interviewed by the site. Best of luck to you,--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  12:38, 17 July 2008 (EDT)
    • Well, I can do, but, as I said, if they don't work with the show any more, I don't need to. I will, however, email you the details for Kirsty at NBC, if you want them, but the answer will be as I've already told you. I am not getting into another big discussion about being "pressured" out of anything - LP issues stay on LP, if you don't mind. I respect the SysOps' decision regarding the issue on both sites. I don't think it's necessary for us to "take" anyone - I don't plan to contact any more people until I get the go-ahead for NBC, and when I do, I will liaise with them directly. I can tell you are enthusiastic about interviews and I respect that, but try and make sure that the interviews are constructive and informative rather than just for the sake of it. Not saying your ones are, not for a second, but just something for the future (I think Admin said the same thing for you). This interview thing is not a competition between the two of us - you do your thing, and I'll do mine. You know who I've contacted, and I you. So all's good in my camp.--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  15:51, 17 July 2008 (EDT)
• I still think you're scheduling these interviews too close together. I'm not sure you'll get the all the questions you could have if they were spaced farther apart.--MiamiVolts (talk) 07:26, 19 July 2008 (EDT)
  • I already told you I'd contacted Brea Grant. She agreed to an interview with me. So why have you agreed to do an interview with her?--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  05:51, 21 July 2008 (EDT)
    • Yeah, please be nice, skywalkrrbf. As I mentioned, we've got a bunch of interviews planned already, so I think it's safe to slow down and rest a bit (not push it), or we may end up with no more interviews at all.--MiamiVolts (talk) 07:26, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

Interviews (Part 3)

I do try to be nice, but I asked her before Lost Soul told me he had asked her, thats why I have a page showing who I have contacted so things like this don't happen. And I have slowed down, I am now just waiting for replies and I have contacted nearly 70 people lol but I don't think they will all reply. I am also spacing out my interviews now, with about 5 days in between each one. --Skywalkerrbf 07:32, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

• That may be so, but as I also said to you (twice!), you can't interview main cast members or people still connected to the show without prior approval from NBC. That is the procedure, and I have it from them officially that they are not doing interviews until closer to the premiere. You cannot deny that I said that, because all you have to do is look above.--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  07:31, 21 July 2008 (EDT)
  • I said that I'd send them if you really want them, but the answer will be as I already told you. It's a pointless exercise - all they'll say is 'no', and to receive two emails from two different people, who both claim to be from Heroes Wiki, it might confuse them and lead them to say no to me when I contact them in late-August time. Then, we might not get any main cast members at all. And the thing with Brea is that you could have sent another email recognizing your mistake - interviews aren't agreed in one correspondence. You would have traded emails with her or her people (who should have said something too, but that's not the point, they're busy people) - and you could have mentioned it. As I've said before, I don't have a problem with you doing interviews - clearly you're enthusiastic about it and want to do it, and that's a good thing. However, 4 days ago (July 17), I posted a very long message to you explaining myself, and you didn't even respond to let me know you'd read and understood the opinion I'm trying to put across. That's what gets me - I am happy to liaise with you, but only if it's a two-way thing.--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  07:45, 21 July 2008 (EDT)
    • Skywalkerrbf, Lost Soul had already noted he was doing the Brea interview a while back. That you didn't know then isn't an excuse to take the interview from him now. I think the right thing to do would be to apologize, allow Lost Soul to do the interview, and move on.--MiamiVolts (talk) 07:53, 21 July 2008 (EDT)
      • Again, look above. There is a list right there of people I've contacted. I have contacted main cast members, but there's no point me sending you that because you wouldn't be able to get them anyway (because of NBC). I will send you the NBC contact details if you wish, but, again, I don't see what good it'll do. If the people you're interviewing are not involved in the show any more, you are fine. Anyone else, you have to get vetted. I don't know how many people you are interviewing who are still involved in Heroes - do you have anyone? Because, if not, there's no need to go to NBC. And as for your last comment: my response (that you didn't reply to) was part of a discussion that we were having. A discussion which you ended by not replying.--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  07:57, 21 July 2008 (EDT)
        • I'll send it now. Nick is not involved in the show any more. Please make sure you inform them that you and I are both working on this together, so they understand. Thank you. Oh, and just so you know, I have absolitely nothing against you - this has not been a personal attack, I just needed to let you know where I stood. Good luck with the rest of your interviews,--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  08:03, 21 July 2008 (EDT)
          • I don't know about Brea. It's up to NBC. I'm afraid I can't answer either of your questions because it is out of my hands. Just out of curiosity, did you contact her directly or through a publicist?--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  08:11, 21 July 2008 (EDT)
            • Right, well, I contacted her publicist. I sent you the email, so it's all good.--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  08:14, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

Replies

You don't have to reply all of my messages to my page. It's easier to follow the discussion if you reply to one page (we'll see it soon enough), and it'll make things easier when you begin archiving.--MiamiVolts (talk) 07:53, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

Spelling

• When making edits to existing articles or creating new articles, could you check over your spelling a few times before submitting the changes? I've noticed a very high number of misspellings in your contributions. Not trying to be critical, it's just that spelling mistakes are often harder to notice and may slip by. Having a lot of spelling mistakes makes our articles look unprofessional. If you're not a good speller then some browsers like Firefox have a built-in spell checker that will underline potential misspellings for you so you can correct them. Thanks!  :) (Admin 13:42, 18 July 2008 (EDT))
  • I second that suggestion. Firefox has helped me catch and fix many spelling mistakes I would probably have missed otherwise.--MiamiVolts (talk) 16:11, 24 July 2008 (EDT)

Interviews

I can do the Kevin Tostado interview, because I like crew more. :) I think you can get Gunnar Clancey's email here, but I don't think you should do too many interviews at once, since it's hard for other users to keep up. I'm a quality over quantity guy, so I think you should focus on the interview you have now, then contact more people after you've finish this wave of interview. Chrisyu357 08:17, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

Summary box

When you make an edit, there should be a summary box below the main edit window and above the save page, show preview and show changes buttons. I noticed you not using this, so I wanted to point it out to you. It's especially helpful to use it so people know what changes you are making to a page. Whatever you type in the summary box appears after the article name in Special:Recentchanges. If you type nothing and it's a new article, the first few sentences will appear there instead. That can be a problem if you are making a spoiler article or an interview article for an actor who is a spoiler.--MiamiVolts (talk) 16:41, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

• • Ok --Skywalkerrbf 16:42, 21 July 2008 (EDT)
    • God I forgot again, I wil rember next time! --Skywalkerrbf 16:46, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

Links

There are instances of your username being red on all of your interview talk pages. Please make them link to your profile ([[User:Skywalkerrbf|Skywalkerrbf]]). Thank you for your contributions.--Citizen 19:26, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

• I've been told to reply on the same page so thanks! --Skywalkerrbf 05:51, 22 July 2008 (EDT)

Deletions

To ask for a page to be deleted by an administrator, put {{afd|reason=ADD-THE-REASON-WHY-HERE}} on the top of a page (the nowiki tag is just to show you).--MiamiVolts (talk) 06:08, 22 July 2008 (EDT)

• Ok thanks --Skywalkerrbf 08:57, 22 July 2008 (EDT)

Photos

Here's a few tips: .jpg's are better since they can be scaled by the wiki if too large, .png's don't scale; portrait photos should be 200px width x 250px height; you are allowed to upload/save new photos directly over old ones in order to replace them. Also, I prefer not to include the name for actor/character in the image filename if it is a spoiler. Most of these tips are already in Help:Images.--MiamiVolts (talk) 14:06, 24 July 2008 (EDT)

Sorry

I'm nacho9000 and i thougth that i could delete that theory because i was the one that post it in the first place.

Hey

Just before you get any ideas, I'm not here to do interviews. You're doing a fantastic job with them, and I'm not going to impinge on that. I'm here for the good-old-fashioned article editing. --Sam McPherson 18:03, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

RE: More Interviews

• I have emailed Kristy, but as yet have not received a reply from her. As for your interview with Adair, good job, but I'm not sure whether this controvenes her original guideline; in other words, if we're allowed to do this without going through NBC, seeing as, as far as I'm aware, Molly is still a part of the show. Oh, and what did your guy say to Kristy? Thanks,--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  03:47, 24 August 2008 (EDT)
