I looked on the editing page, but didn't see it there. When listing an episode at the end of a sentence, does the period go before or after it? I noticed you placed it after in a recent edit (so assume that's correct), but it seems to go before in a lot of places throughout the site. Also, would the same rule apply to the examples of abilities sections? Thanks. --[[User:Stevehim|Stevehim]] 17:20, 10 November 2008 (EST)

Do I just edit the page and put the redirect command in? (eg - On the Ando (explosion future), goto edit and type #REDIRECT[[Ando Masahashi (explosion future)]])?Thanks. --[[User:Stevehim|Stevehim]] 17:20, 10 November 2008 (EST)

Category

Taking in consideration there is a category for evolved humans with synthetic abilities, should we consider making a category for evolved humans who had their abilities removed? It's consistent with some other categories, such as characters with the Shanti virus. Intuitive Empath 14:02, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

  • I don't mind it. :) Would it only be for characters who are currently powerless (like Peter and Maya) or for any characters who have ever lost their powers (like Sylar)? What would you call the category? -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:06, 31 October 2008 (EDT)
    • At first, I was thinking just about the ones who had their powers removed by Arthur, but now that you mention it, I'm in doubt. The Haitian, the ability negation pills and the Shanti virus all suppress abilities, but they don't effectively remove them, the Haitian was able to use his power after being cured, but I think that there are special cases, most notable Sylar, who after being cured still retained his original ability, but lost all but one of his acquired abilities. The category would work for all characters who were powerless for a while, even so even if Peter or Maya got their powers back they'd still fit the category, but then we'd need an "abilities restored" category too. Peter, Maya, Sylar and Adam are the only ones who fit the category right now, maybe we should wait until there are more characters? Intuitive Empath 11:27, 1 November 2008 (EDT)
      • Waiting is probably a prudent idea. I don't mind the category, but it would have to be clearly defined. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 13:25, 1 November 2008 (EDT)

Patrollers suggestions

I've sent a few suggestions via e-mail to you and Admin a few minutes ago.--MiamiVolts (talk) 14:21, 1 November 2008 (EDT)

more help.

I need to fix the width of the columns on my page, how is that done? --SacValleyDweller (talk) 00:38, 3 November 2008 (EST)

  • nevermind, found a page that will help.--SacValleyDweller (talk) 00:42, 3 November 2008 (EST)
  • I would change the row with your headers to an actual header row by replacing the pipes with exclamation points. So for instance,
{| class=wikitable
|-
! Number !! Episode !! Past/Future !! To where? !! Centric
|}

yields

Number Episode Past/Future To where? Centric

Then, you can specify the width by using percentages or pixels. For instance, you can specify the width's percentage: 

{| class=wikitable
|-
! width=5% | Number !! width=20% | Episode !! width=25% | Past/Future !! width=25% | To where? !! width=25% | Centric
|}

yields

Number Episode Past/Future To where? Centric

Also, you can specify the width in pixels: 

{| class=wikitable
|-
! width=25px | Number !! width=40px | Episode !! width=60px | Past/Future !! width=100px | To where? !! width=220px | Centric
|}

yields

Number Episode Past/Future To where? Centric

Hope that helps. I'm heading to bed. If you need anything else, just drop me a message and I'll see what I can do tomorrow. Or feel free to experiment. Also, check out Help:Editing#Tables or Wikipedia:Help:Table. Have fun and good luck! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:49, 3 November 2008 (EST)

Patroller

I'd be glad to help out with this. Just finished re-reading the page about it; and will go back and read it again a few more times to be more clear on it; but sure; count me in. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 11/3/2008 11:24 (EST)

Podcast

I promise the audio will now work...lol. We just recorded our most recent LOST podcast, so it should be all good. Let me know your schedule for this week?? The ODI 18:02, 3 November 2008 (EST)

  • Tuesday (11/4) is good for me after 8 pm EST. Same goes for Wednesday after 9 pm EST. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 21:05, 3 November 2008 (EST)
    • How about tonight at 9:30 EST? The ODI 12:10, 5 November 2008 (EST)
      • Actually, there was a development with my son and he has to be admitted to the hospital. Nothing too serious, but he has to be tested. He's going in around 3 pm, and I'm not sure when we'll be back (or if I'll be up for talking after that anyway). Gosh, I know it sounds like we keep pushing this back, I'm really sorry... -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 12:12, 5 November 2008 (EST)
        • Sorry to hear about the son, I hope he is ok?? Just let me know when you are free. Just was hoping to post this week sometime. The ODI 18:49, 5 November 2008 (EST)

Power template

Hi there RGS, I just had a question I wanted to ask... if you look at Template:Power, you'll see that a lovely ability created by Bentonyang is still listed in the list of abilities... I've been trying for the past few minutes to get rid of it, but I can't seem to figure out what exactly to edit to remove it. Any tips? Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 20:43, 3 November 2008 (EST)

  • Just clear the DPL cache by editing and previewing the page.--MiamiVolts (talk) 20:45, 3 November 2008 (EST)
    • Ah, it still seems to be there... Sincerely, Thrashmeister [ U | T | C ] 20:51, 3 November 2008 (EST)

Reply

Yeah, Thanks for that information very helpful --Harrypotter1994 21:39, 3 November 2008 (EST)

FYI

You might want to check this when you get a minute; User:Skywalkerrbf; unhappy member who also mentioned deleting off prior wiki pages he has contributed. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 11/4/2008 12:46 (EST)

  • It's ok, Ryan and I know about it already.. but thanks! :) (Admin 12:48, 4 November 2008 (EST))
    • You could of asked be about this.And Admin are you goin got say anything to me? Mayby tell me what was so wrong with them? --Skywalkerrbf 12:51, 4 November 2008 (EST)

Infinity Symbol

http://heroeswiki.com/Inifinity_Symbol

hi, I made a page about the Infinity symbol that keep reappearing in the episodes, just like The Symbol. I'm not sure about this, and I ain't got that much pics by now... Please help improve it...NiveKJ13 15:52, 4 November 2008 (EST)

  • Hey, Nick. Check out The Symbol. They've been including it in some form since the second episode. :) (Admin 15:53, 4 November 2008 (EST))
    • I think Nick means the new symbol that Pinehearst is using, but it's not an infinity symbol as I just mentioned on the related talk page.--MiamiVolts (talk) 15:55, 4 November 2008 (EST)
      • I don't get the difference. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 15:55, 4 November 2008 (EST)
        • I'm just realizing, that just like the Helix symbol, it seems like, there are Infinity symbols everywhere in the series...its just a theory... XD NiveKJ13 17:17, 4 November 2008 (EST)
          • And by the way, It's not "Nick", call me "Keff"....NiveKJ -backwards- JKeviN...XD
          • Ah, I see. I moved the page to your user namespace since it's a theory. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:20, 4 November 2008 (EST)

Question on my profile

Can you answer them please as Admin is too busy.--Skywalkerrbf 15:59, 4 November 2008 (EST)

  • I believe I did on your email. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 16:53, 4 November 2008 (EST)
    • No they were not. I want examples and reasons of what quality mean.--Skywalkerrbf 16:57, 4 November 2008 (EST)
      • AM I ever going to get proper reasons or just I just give up trying?--Skywalkerrbf 17:13, 4 November 2008 (EST)
        • I believe I gave you plenty of detailed reasons via email and Help:Interviews. I don't think we need to further this discussion. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:20, 4 November 2008 (EST)
          • Its ok for you saying that I'm not good enough, but you did not explain your self. You really don't seem to realise that you are ruining my life. You said:


they do not meet grammar standards, spelling standards, formatting standards, or quality standards.
What does quality standards mean? I have dyslexia so grammar and spelling is very hard for me. What was wrong with my formatting? Did I need pictures, more gaps, what? The least you could do is answer my questions, do you realise what you are doing to me?--Skywalkerrbf 17:25, 4 November 2008 (EST)

I duno what to do

This site, this site was what I did, interviews were what I did. I'm so angry that I can't get answers to my questions off anyone, you have ruined my life, please, I am begging you, I am sat here almost crying , why won't someone just give me the answers I want? I have given my all to this site, months of my life. I'm not getting them months back. Please I am actually begging you, I will sit on my knees if I have to. I don't understand what was so bad with them. Give me examples. I need to know. Please, I gave you months of my life, give me minutes of yours back.--Skywalkerrbf 18:03, 4 November 2008 (EST)

  • Please, just answer my questions. I have given you months of my life, is it really too much to ask for a few minutes back for you to tell me the answers? I am so upset, please, I am begging you.--Skywalkerrbf 02:53, 5 November 2008 (EST)
    • Just so I know, are you going to get back to me at some point or not?--Skywalkerrbf 11:19, 5 November 2008 (EST)
      • I believe I've told you everything I can tell you (mostly via email) and don't really have much more to say. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 11:54, 5 November 2008 (EST)
        • There are only thing you havn't. I want to improve my future interviews and that is hard if you won't answer these two things:
  • What was wrong with the quality of my interviews? Did I ask the wrong questions? Was I rude to the actors ect.
  • Why now? Did NBC complain about my interviews or was it just you and admin? I need to know this as if it was NBC then I don't know if I will continue with my Heroes interviews...
  • Can you give me examples of good/bad interviews? Or are they all bad?


If you could just give me answers to these 3 things then that would be great.--Skywalkerrbf 11:58, 5 November 2008 (EST)

    • I have heard about your son and I am sorry to hear that but are you going to answer my questions or not? People are starting to give me a lot of abuse e.g. calling me a little pig so could you please answer them sooner rather than later? I do want to be able to leave this wiki as people here don't seem to like me any more because of me being over dramatic.--Skywalkerrbf 17:05, 5 November 2008 (EST)
      • No. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 21:23, 5 November 2008 (EST)
        • Ok that's going to make things a lot harder for me then. I would go on but no I'm tired of trying. If you do change your mind then just send me a email or somthing. I will start trying to set up my own website then. Thanks for the good times, and sorry that you couldn't repay my months of service with a few questions. I've had a good time on this site and sorry it had to end like this with people refusing to talk to me.--Skywalkerrbf 02:52, 6 November 2008 (EST)

Thanks

For replacing the pic.--Citizen 15:38, 5 November 2008 (EST)

Image formats

Do images have to be in .JPG format, or can we upload others such as .PNGs? I'm asking because jpegs usually have for the lack of a better word, a rather crappy quality, and it really shows in some of the images. --Ciwey 03:54, 6 November 2008 (EST)

  • Images can be in .png, .gif, .jpg, or .jpeg formats. Sound clips must be in .ogg format. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 07:00, 6 November 2008 (EST)
    • Just a small note, that .jpg format tends to be more common here cause it's scales better. We often use the same image for multiple portals, in which case it will be resized using the image tag (and .png and .gif don't do that as well). But if the image is just for use in an image gallery, .png or .gif is okay.--MiamiVolts (talk) 07:48, 6 November 2008 (EST)

Interviews

Hi Ryan, I'm just about to send you an email regarding all this interview stuff. Just wanted to give you the head's up.--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  15:42, 6 November 2008 (EST)

  • Cool, thanks. I think you have my email address. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 15:46, 6 November 2008 (EST)
    • Uh-huh. Sent the email. :)--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  15:51, 6 November 2008 (EST)
      • If you ever get an interview with Greg Grunberg, I want to do it, please. Just that one interview, haha. --DocM 16:16, 6 November 2008 (EST)

Image:Precognition.jpg

Hey, Futurepeter. What episode is Precognition.jpg from? — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:39, 6 November 2008 (EST)
  • It took a little while before i found it. It came from episode 16, Unexpected. It was last scene from that episode, in this scene Simone got shot by Isaac.

Interviewquestions for Greg Grunberg

  • Well i got a couple of questions for him, first of all he could probably tell us what was on the note of the group of twelve wheter it's "Suzanne Amman" or Susan Amman. The second question is what's it like to work with Brea. Third one is how was Usutu's food like. and i got a couple more, but this might be a good start for an interview. -- Futurepeter ( U - T - C ) 07:46, 7 November 2008 (EST)
    • Keep in mind that I don't actually have an interview with Greg Grunberg, nor do I think Dave from The OWI will want to do another interview with Greg...but I sent him an email about it. These are great questions! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 10:42, 7 November 2008 (EST)

List of abilities

I'm confused about something...See, Santiago have the abiltiy of "Accelerated probability", I know this, because it was mentioned in this Comic Con Video 1. And isn't Kaito Nakamura's ability the same as this one?...

My question is, How am I gonna type it in List of abilities...in "Unkown Abilities" section or "Deleted DVD scenes" section, or do I make one for each...since Santiago is not from the DVD deleted scenes.NiveKJ13 11:47, 8 November 2008 (EST)

  • Santiago's power also looks like it might be super speed. It's hard to say until the webisodes are released on Monday. I think the list of abilities is fine right now as it is. (I fixed it up a bit.) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 11:51, 8 November 2008 (EST)
    • The problem is, Santiago's not in DVD deleted scenes... :D NiveKJ13 11:54, 8 November 2008 (EST)
      • Actually, you're right--and Santiago is a spoiler right now, so he doesn't belong on the non-spoiler page at all. I left the link to the Comic-Con video since it gives the name. It's a bit of a leap to say that what Kaito did in the deleted scene is the same as the name released in a video about somebody else completely, but I don't think there's much harm in it since ultimately it's a deleted scene. I'm fine with it as it is. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 11:58, 8 November 2008 (EST)
        • Works for me as well... thnx by the way! : ) NiveKJ13 11:59, 8 November 2008 (EST)

vandalism

sorry i got a bit carrie away :) Gabriel monroe 14:43, 8 November 2008 (EST)

pic request

pls...can you get me a Pinehearst monument logo, where Daphne and Linderman had a meeting...pls...tnx in advance..NiveKJ13 16:40, 8 November 2008 (EST)

Super Speed

"Super Speed, rename to, Superior Physical Speed (since theres different kinds of speed; mental (in the choices as well), physical, verbal, etc..."

  • I just noticed, this is what's written in the choices, in the Create Your Hero event NiveKJ13 07:02, 9 November 2008 (EST) Superior Physical Speed
    • what do you think? NiveKJ13 11:29, 9 November 2008 (EST)
      • I think that the on the Create Your Hero voting, they were giving people choices between attributes to vote on, not naming powers. "Effects Speed of People" and "Superior Physical Speed" are attributes to vote on, not names of the abilities. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 13:59, 9 November 2008 (EST)
        • Just a head's up, the article text was copied back instead of moved back from "superior physical speed" because NiveJK13 edited the "super speed" page after moving it blocking a move back. I've added an afd and a rename template tag as appropriate to fix the history.--MiamiVolts (talk) 15:48, 9 November 2008 (EST)

1 person, 2 abilities, should have 2 pages...

Is it possible that one hero can have more than 2 abilities, without absorbing from others...?

coz I really think that some have 2 powers like Knox, He's got Fear Absorption and Enhanced Strength...and the Santiago, I think he's got Accelerated Probability and Enhanced Speed. Aren't we suppose to make 2 different pages for each ability they have?NiveKJ13 07:04, 9 November 2008 (EST)

  • Mr. Bennet told Sylar that everybody they had come in contact with at that point had only possessed one ability each (Fallout). The only person I know of who is listed as having two abilities (other than through some form of absorption) is Brendan Lewis--and even then, I'm not convinced that his regeneration wasn't an aspect of his plant manipulation...but that's another story. No, I don't think Knox has two abilities--he has the ability of enhanced strength which he gets by feeding off the ambient emotions of others. The strongest cases for somebody with more than one ability is Hiro (who can stop time, teleport, and travel through time) and the Haitian (who can block the abilities of others and can erase memories). But it's been shown a few times that even these guys have only one power--Hiro said he can manipulate space and time (which is the umbrella for everything he does) and we've called the Haitian's ability "mental manipulation" as a catchall for everything he does. I think it's too early to tell much about Santiago's power, but you can bet dollars to donuts that he's only got one ability. We'll see tomorrow, won't we? :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 14:06, 9 November 2008 (EST)
    • ok...but then, if tomorrow in Heroes: Destiny, when the webisode showed that Santiago have Super Speed and Accelerated Probability, are you gonna make 2 different pages. I know there's already Super speed, but what about Accelerated Probability...since, another person have the same ability - Kaito Nakamura...NiveKJ13 14:10, 9 November 2008 (EST)
      • Kaito does not have that ability, or any ability at all. What you are referring to is a deleted scene. If we make a page about accelerated probability, Kaito's name can go in the notes and nowhere else. But unless they're explicit in saying that Santiago has two powers, we will make one page that describes his one power. I don't yet know what power that will be, but I imagine it will be super speed. I also imagine that if he's able predict probabilities, it's because his brain works at super speed, too, which is a little different than the super speed we've seen from Daphne. Again, we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see how it all plays out. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 14:14, 9 November 2008 (EST)

Question about images

Hey. I wanted to create a page for the explosion future Ando (even though it would have very little on it), and I was trying to use this image, but even using the thumbnailing piping or pixel specifications (200x250px), I couldn't get it to look right in the portal (the bottom half seems to be all white). I was wondering if there is another way to get it as a portal image, or if I'd need to edit it and reupload it. Beyond that, I was wondering if you had any suggestions as an alternative to creating his page. I mainly wanted to do it for two reasons:

  1. He was mentioned a bunch and played a part in how Future Hiro behaves (and we have pages for other minor future characters like Crane boy and Parkman's son).
  2. To note the conflicting stories of his death. Future Peter tells Ando that he died in the explosion (Five Years Gone) but Ando tells Hiro that Sylar killed him, using the final 9th Wonder issue as evidence. (The Hard Part)

Thanks.

I think TEN may be back

Check out User:Linderman Mendez's changes. I patrolled and undid them so far, but they include listing Issac and Arthur as Peter's grandparents, and giving Maury a pizza delivery service. --Stevehim 11:47, 10 November 2008 (EST)

  • Also check out User:Gabriel monroe, as he's vandalizing things as well. On a side note, what's going on with the the Mr. Muggles theory page? Seems like a lot of nonsense on there. --Stevehim 12:11, 10 November 2008 (EST)
    • Thanks for the heads up. It looks like Ted C took care of them. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 13:01, 10 November 2008 (EST)
      • I only put a one-day ban on them, so it's really just a band-aid. --Ted C 13:27, 10 November 2008 (EST)

My user page

I need some help recreating my info box for my page. For some reason I don't know why it won't format itself correctly I think something is obviously missing. Horrorman 1:48, 10 November 2008 (EST)

  • It looks like you've got it worked out. At a simple glance, it looks like you were missing the end of some links. Is that what you needed? If you need anything else, let me know. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 15:20, 10 November 2008 (EST)

Question about punctuation

I looked on the editing page, but didn't see it there. When listing an episode at the end of a sentence, does the period go before or after it? I noticed you placed it after in a recent edit (so assume that's correct), but it seems to go before in a lot of places throughout the site. And would the same rule apply to the examples of abilities sections? Also, I was looking at the redirects, and am not exactly sure how it works. Do I just edit the page and put the redirect command in? (eg - On the Ando (explosion future), goto edit and type #REDIRECTAndo Masahashi (explosion future))?Thanks. --Stevehim 17:20, 10 November 2008 (EST)
