Those new accounts

Looks like you have a lot of banning to do. --Ciwey 23:05, 28 November 2008 (EST)

• Thanks for bringing that to my attention! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:08, 28 November 2008 (EST)
  • There's a bunch more to block now.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:43, 28 November 2008 (EST)
    • Isn't there a IP ban for cases like this? --Piemanmoo 23:47, 28 November 2008 (EST)
      • Admin does the IP bans. I'm not quite sure how. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:48, 28 November 2008 (EST)
        • This is bullshit. It's obviously one of those new members that have been sprouting on the wiki with their stupid subpages.--Citizen 00:33, 29 November 2008 (EST)
          • I think it's TheEvilNoob. He has an axe to grind with me. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:41, 29 November 2008 (EST)
        • If you're interested in learning about IP blocking, this may help you. IP banning is part of the Special:BlockIP form which only administrators can view, so I'm not sure how Admin has configured it here, but I do know the default allows you to leave a checkmark that blocks the last ip of a blocked username and autoblocks any subsequent IPs the user tries to edit from. Also, there's normally a link at the bottom to the other special pages that show the history of what is blocked and why.--MiamiVolts (talk) 00:52, 29 November 2008 (EST)
          • Yeah, I know how to do IP blocking...I don't know how to find out the IP address. Once I have the address, I can block the IP no problem. I've done it in the past by using my wife's blog, which records all the IP addresses that visit the blog. However, TEN seems to have stopped visiting my wife's blog (thank goodness--she has nothing to do with stuff that happens on the wiki, and it's not fair for her--or my kids--to see the messages he's left there), so I can't figure out what IP he's coming from. Thanks, though. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 01:10, 29 November 2008 (EST)
            • Ah, I see. From what I can tell, then, only Admin can do the IP search and he does so by manually performing a scan on the database. However, there is also an extension Admin can add, called Extension:CheckUser, which will enable ip access to users he gives a special 'checkuser' permission. Perhaps you can ask if would consider adding it for you?--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:37, 29 November 2008 (EST)
              • Thanks, Miami. I'll ask him. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 03:07, 29 November 2008 (EST)

Might legal action be in order if this keeps up? --SacValleyDweller (talk) 00:02, 1 December 2008 (EST)

• Yes. Admin is looking into it. I believe he will be contacting the guy's provider. The idiot has used his school computer, too. Dumbass. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:04, 1 December 2008 (EST)
  • I'm working up an e-mail to Admin with a couple other suggestions to consider about this. I'll copy you, though have you already asked him about extension CheckUser?--MiamiVolts (talk) 00:40, 1 December 2008 (EST)
    • I'm not comfortable making that information available to others yet. He's using some proxies so it wouldn't be terribly effective in this case anyway. If this changes I'll consider the extension. (Admin 00:45, 1 December 2008 (EST))
      • Ok, e-mail sent, subject "HeroesWiki user creation". Have a good night.--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:35, 1 December 2008 (EST)

Proxies

Is there anyway to block proxy access to the site? Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 07:34, 1 December 2008 (EST)

• Dunno. I'm sure if there is, Admin will look into it. Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 09:55, 1 December 2008 (EST)
  • You can block the IP's of the proxies used, but then depending on where the proxy program is hosted, you could also be blocking other people's valid use of the site. That's why IP blocking is sometimes a bit tricky.--MiamiVolts (talk) 12:02, 1 December 2008 (EST)
    • Is there anyway to make sure the site is accessible only via a fix IP and not by a proxy? Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 12:53, 1 December 2008 (EST)
      • Many ISP's also use dynamic IP's for their customers, so it isn't that easy. If you're interested in learning more about proxies, see here.--MiamiVolts (talk) 13:24, 1 December 2008 (EST)

Episode Talk: Eclipse 2

Baldbobbo deleted the talk page for Eclipse 2 at some point last week, and no one in their right mind is going to recreate a topic deleted by a mod. As a result, nothing is happening on the topic. Perhaps you could create it?--Falcomadol 22:02, 1 December 2008 (EST)

• Nevermind, someone broke what would be taboo for me :)--Falcomadol 22:05, 1 December 2008 (EST)

Kristin

• Hah. Kristin called Sam and Frack "a walking Heroes Wiki of storyline trivia". :) (Admin 01:52, 2 December 2008 (EST))
  • Love it! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 01:52, 2 December 2008 (EST)
    • Awesome, a Heroes Interactive ref and a Kristin E-Online ref all in the same night. Great! :)--MiamiVolts (talk) 02:02, 2 December 2008 (EST)
      • Oh, very cool. I don't usually follow the Heroes Interactive so I didn't see it until you pointed it out. (Admin 02:05, 2 December 2008 (EST))
        • Next step: 30-second commercial. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 02:08, 2 December 2008 (EST)
          • If it included Seth and Breckin, I'd be so thrilled. :) (Admin 02:09, 2 December 2008 (EST))
            • I'd settle for David S. Jung... -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 02:10, 2 December 2008 (EST)

Noah's Brother

I made my own page on Noah Bennet's brother and it has got my name before it! But can you just scale the image down a bit please? Cheers.  :) Noah Bennet And The Whale 13:09, 2 December 2008

• Okay, right now the image is 450x350 since you're using a fan creation infobox. I originally made it 200x250 since it's a character image. If you want to make it that size, that's fine, just revert to the older version, though I would also suggest using the {{character box}} template to really get the full impact...and add all the info you want. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:50, 2 December 2008 (EST)

DMB shows

It looks like he definitely has both shows, but I wanted to make sure about the Newport News/Va. Beach show before proceeding. Looking at the list of shows from 2003, was it the one at Old Dominion University on 3-26-03 you were looking for? --Stevehim 13:42, 2 December 2008 (EST)

• Let me check with my wife.... -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:38, 2 December 2008 (EST)

South Park Heroes

Hi I Have This Image I Would Like To Put It On The South Park Heroes Page.Here It Is... Gabriel Bishop 16:55, 2 December 2008

• I think we generally add images of one character at a time. Perhaps you could break the image into several images? I don't personally have any objections to the image, but I don't have a whole lot invested in that fan creation page. I would take it to the talk page and ask if anybody has any objections there. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:04, 2 December 2008 (EST)

Deleted Scenes

• Hey Ryan, I created a page for the deleted scenes of heroes, but i dunno where exactly to place it... User:NiveKJ13/Deleted Scenes
  • This better be accepted, I worked on it for like 2 hours, lol XD and by the way, can you somehow help me improve it, it looks kinda messy...tnx --NiveKJ13 17:59, 2 December 2008 (EST)
    • I don't really like having acceptance demanded of me, so I sure hope you're saying that lightly or jokingly. In any case, a brief summary of deleted scenes can go on episode pages (see Episode:Fallout#Deleted Scenes). More detailed information can go on the DVD pages (see Heroes: The Complete Second Season (DVD)#Deleted_Scenes. Pertinent information can go in the notes of appropriate pages (see D.L. Hawkins#Notes). -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 18:26, 2 December 2008 (EST)
    • I was jokin man, lol XD the "this better be accepted" is clearly a joke...lolz...nevermind about it...
      • No worries. It's sometimes hard to tell a person's tone when it's read on the internet. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 19:10, 2 December 2008 (EST)
      • I really dont get it, cant we just make a new page for Deleted scenes? like that one that I did?....--NiveKJ13 18:51, 2 December 2008 (EST)
        • I'm not a big fan of it personally, if you're asking my opinion. I'd rather include the information on the DVD pages. But you can take it to the talk pages (like here). Incidentally, there was an old discussion about this when the first DVD came out, which you can read here. There's a newer, more definitive discussion after the second DVD came out, which you can read here. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 19:09, 2 December 2008 (EST)

Samedi's assignment tracker file

can you give me the password of Samedi's assignement tracker, please?

where do you get Samedi's assignement tracker? Jethap

• I would if I could, but I don't have the password. I simply changed the URL to get the image. His file will be at C010. The password will probably be released next week. Sorry! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 07:56, 3 December 2008 (EST)
  • when you changed the URL, you only get the image, or you can read his profile too, because if yes, you can write his profile in his page at least. Jethap 09:29, 3 December 2008
    • Just the images. See the diagram, the cranial imaging, and the profile picture. If I were able to see the text, I would have put all that information on his page. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 10:36, 3 December 2008 (EST)
