About Me

Hi there!

Before you ask, no, my username isn't something kinky. It's an anagram.

My name is Dave and I'm from Austin, TX. I'm a recent law school graduate. Some other places to find me on the Internet:

• Encyclopedia Dramatica, another Wiki where I'm a sysop.
• My LiveJournal
• 9th Wonders, the semi-official Heroes fansite
• and I guess there's always my MySpace Page, although I'm not quite sure what the purpose of MySpace is

...all under the same username. The only place I use a different username is on TOW where I'm "ImHardviceonED" (long story).

Skepticism

Please don't take offense if I play devil's advocate. For that matter, don't even assume I actually disagree with you. I genuinely believe that challenging our assumptions is how we discover the truth. If an idea can't withstand adversarial scrutiny, then it's not much of an idea.

Also, please don't take offense if where you see The Symbol, I see Gumby. I also value skepticism.

To Do

These are things I'd like to see, not necessarily things I plan on doing myself. If anything strikes your fancy, feel free to knock it out.

Miscellaneous Projects

Cast & Crew Cleanup

• look for external links, websites, About sections on cast & crew pages
• make sure actors have out-of-character images whenever possible. Use Template:nocastimage as needed

Character Cleanup

• Add/expand About sections on Main Characters articles

Theme Cleanup

• Add analysis of the theme to make them more than just lists of occurrences. The show treats family very differently than a lot of shows, for example.

Date Cleanup

• Fix Timeline.
• Add anchors for dates to Timeline
• Add redirects to anchors.
• Link all dates to redirects so user preferences will work to format dates.
  • Search article text for names of months to find links-to-be.
  • All dates need to be links, even if repeated within a section, for user prefs to work.

Help:Layout

• Add to Help:Contents and Template:Helpbox
• Link from Help:Editing and Help:Style
• Add subpages for cut-and-paste templates for new articles; add to help page.

Foreign Text

• Add templates for Article Contains Japanese Characters, Article Contains Indric Characters, and Article Contains Hebrew Characters. Steal liberally from WP and modify.
• Add Help:Foreign Character Support with instructions for Asian language support and complex character rendering. Steal liberally from WP and modify.
• Somehow find articles with foreign characters and add template
  • Check Hiro and related articles, Hana and related articles, Mohinder/Chandra and related articles.
  • Ask Admin if these show up on his spellcheck reports

Theories

• Cleanup

Spoilers

• Fix Template:archivedspoiler to be less episode-specific
• Archive old spoilers
• Check spoiler articles for consistent formating, citations, spelling, grammar, etc.
• Check spoilers against sources for plagiarism; paraphrase or put in quotes as necessary

Commentary

  • From memory, if links aren't working

Heroes Interactive

• Find screencaps from missing episodes
• Add transcripts from screencaps
