Cross editing
Were we editing Women in Refrigerators at the same time? Sorry 'bout that! (Great minds think alike, eh?) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:37, 12 January 2007 (EST)
- It's alright, yours was better anyway. Doesn't it normally have a warning though, it didn't this time. -Level 15:44, 12 January 2007 (EST)
- Not necessarily. If one is just editing just a section (eg, you pressed "edit" on the subheading "Heroes in Refrigerators"), then there's no warning, so long as I don't change that section too. Since you added a section and I added a section, there's technically no conflict in our edits. ... At least we were duplicating and not conflicting, right? :) - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:54, 12 January 2007 (EST)
L337 and uncommon versions
Hey, its me, WolvenSpectre and thanks for the message.
- You pointed something out to me I never noticed. Using that uncommon hardcore version of leetspeak, L337 becomes a leetspeak palindrome ( spelled the same backwards and forwards).
- I also understand that it is a bit of a reach and may be a coincidence with another couple of theories I have bouncing around in the old melon. The only reason that I know about this is I had to interact with four different communities when I first started going online. Each had its own dialect of leet, partially because of the way language and slang evolves in any community making their own version unique, plus the amount of censorship and monitoring that took place.For example
- One group was on services based around a Canadian University Internet Service, which was supposed to be open to all ages, so language and topics considered inappropriate or legally risky (hacking, lock-picking, copy protection circumvention for fair use, etc.) were filtered. The problem was they used learning software, that could censor attempts at getting around the filter. To beat that their leet got so leet they eventually made a 30 page dictionary file for newbs just getting in like me, because most people couldn't read it at all. With my minor learning disorder it was all I could do to keep from looking like one of Sylar's Victims.
- Group 2 was mostly made up of programmers that ran their own IRC Service. Very little censorship and leet was used the same way programming jargon was, less a necessity and more a fun choice.
- If you type it like "LE37", it almost has rotational symmetry -LEи37 15:57, 26 January 2007 (EST)

Proper usage for the term E-Mail
Sorry about that, the changes sent to me by the Wiki Software said it was Darc and I had never seen his name before.
Trust me on this, I am a certified professional trained in Computer Systems Support (End User Support, Network Administration, Hardware Installation and Troubleshooting, Office Data Entry, etc). For our courses we had to use the "Officially Recognized Proper Syntax". Wikipedia has this one wrong. It was Electronic-Mail, originally abbreviated E.M., but quickly changed as that was a common electronical term already. They then brought back the full word "Mail" and the dash. It is meant to be used as a proper noun and both Words are capitalized. When it grew in popularity and also became a verb, it is then that it is not capitalized.
I can feel my friendly instructor's hand jokingly smacking me in the back of the head for leaving out the dash. So ironically I am correcting myself. However you are very right in that what is officially correct and what is publicly accepted are two different things.
Ironically this wasn't the reason I changed it though. If you look, all other Theory subsections are fully capitalized (ie Hiro's Sword, Sylar's Victims) and I thought ascetically "email" should be capitalized.
Whats say I capitalize the E and not be snooty about the rest by keeping it in the "common man" format and we both go away happy?
--WolvenSpectre 01:36, 27 January 2007 (EST)
- If you're talking about renaming the article this would be better discussed on the talk page for The email. However "email", while perhaps more colloquial, is an acceptable form of spelling it now. (Admin 10:00, 27 January 2007 (EST))
Run!
Episode:Run! was not broadcast in Utah because of a mall shooting in Salt Lake City. -Level 03:55, 13 February 2007 (EST)
Road Signs
Hey, Level... I uploaded another road sign image with you in mind. Thought you might enjoy! :) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:30, 26 February 2007 (EST)
- Thanks, when I first saw the sign, I looked up information about it, but I didn't have time to upload, so I forgot about it. By the way how do I do left align inline thumbnails? -Level 16:25, 26 February 2007 (EST)
- I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking; if you're asking how to make thumbs on the left, just type [[Image:extension|thumb|left|optional caption]] and that will make your thumb left-aligned. Is that what you're looking for? — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 07:10, 27 February 2007 (EST)
