Does this page need to be cleansed of no-longer-current events? --Ted C 16:30, 15 December 2006 (EST)

  • Probably. Both the auction and the logo contest are over.--Hardvice (talk) 17:12, 15 December 2006 (EST)

GN in Character History sections

Just a few quick notes about the switches: If there is a reference to a GN in the Notes section, it should be replaced by the GN history ... Also, most of the Notes references need to be fleshed out a bit to be included in the Character History sections. I was thinking, actually, it might be better to have the list on the Current events page to be sorted by character rather than by GN — when I do the switches, I'm going to do an entire character, not just a graphic novel. But this really only affects characters that appear in multiple GNs. I'm going to do Mr. B. now, so maybe it's not that big of a deal. ramble ramble ramble — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:21, 5 February 2007 (EST)

Free Time? Really?

Goodness. Both checklists are almost complete and we've only got 7 wanted pages. Apart from the GN histories on the character pages, we're suspiciously close to being ... caught up. Eerie.--Hardvice (talk) 16:13, 9 February 2007 (EST)

  • I'd recommend we use this weekend to work on Stubs. Who's with me?--Hardvice (talk) 16:14, 9 February 2007 (EST)
    • Totally with you, my man. The way I see it, we've got three major categories of stubs: actor pages, location pages, and then some pages (mostly research-related) that just need to be put into standard format. We should knock some out in no time. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:54, 9 February 2007 (EST)
      • I've got the actor pages in a separate stubegory now (Category:Cast and Crew Stubs) since we may or may not be able to find any info on them. That way, if we can clean out Category:Stubs, and do as many actor pages as we can, we'll be as done as possible, and the main Stubegory will be empty.--Hardvice (talk) 22:10, 9 February 2007 (EST)
        • ...I just enjoyed reading "stubegory" in that last post ... twice! — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:38, 9 February 2007 (EST)
          • I figured we could torment Admin's spellbot with it.--Hardvice (talk) 23:33, 9 February 2007 (EST)

Sneaks - New Category

'There needs to be a SNEAKS Category on this website, because there are now too many of these kinds of sneak preview clips, all over television. The one this morning (February 26th) was from a future unnamed episode and was on CBS.

Heroes sneak peek on CBS this morning!

On the popular Rachel Ray 9 AM variety show, Rachel had Adrian Pasdar (Nathan Petrelli) as a guest. But before introducing him, they showed a CLIP of some upcoming episode of Heroes.

Here is a summary of that clip:

In the Las Vegas airport, Nathan and Hiro Nakamura are discussing how to get his SWORD past security. (Hiro is wearing the sword on his back, obviously gotten somehow from Mr. Linderman, perhaps with Nathan's help.)

Nathan tells Hiro that when he first met him he thought he was nuts, but now he knows about his powers and can agree with his mission to prevent a nuclear disaster in New York. Nathan derides his own ability to fly somewhat, saying it is pretty useless.

Hiro tells Nathan that it is hard caring for people, because everyone he tried to help he ended up hurting them instead. He has sent his friend Ando home because of this. Hiro also says that he knows why Nathan pretends not to care. He knows it is because Nathan cares too much for everyone.

Then the clip ends and Rachel Ray begins to interview Adrian about his marriage to one of the Dixie Chicks. Transcript needed

  • If the video is available, then these should go in the previews section of Template:videosplain. If the video isn't available, then we probably shouldn't bother with them, but the information can always go in the appropriate spoiler article.--Hardvice (talk) 02:00, 27 February 2007 (EST)

Images categories

So for now, we have the main characters up. I was thinking, however, due to the prevalence of Sylar in the episode, a category with him would also be a good idea. However, this would mean we should have Ando as well, etc. So, should we include other non-main characters?--Bob 18:53, 19 May 2007 (EDT)

  • I do think we should have an image category for Sylar. That problem with having a category for Ando is that if we have a category for him, then we might end up making categories for images of all the other supporting and recurring characters, until it gets down to "Images of Hiro's boss." I'm quite looking forward to "Images of Mr. Muggles", though. :) Heroe!(talk) (contribs) 19:15, 19 May 2007 (EDT)
    • It wouldn't hurt to have character image categories for more than just main characters--in fact, images of Candice would be interesting, wouldn't it? Let's start with the main characters. Sylar is an obvious next choice, I'll add him to the list. Let's hold off on others, unless somebody has a burning desire to see images of Claude right away. (Hmm, wouldn't a gallery of Claude images mostly just look like background scenery?) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:49, 19 May 2007 (EDT)
      • Yeah, I was thinking about Claude's pictures.--Bob 20:02, 19 May 2007 (EDT)
        • Ando should be included, he's been in almost every episode, right? Also, how do I do this? I'll help out, I have nothing better to do.--Riddler 11:38, 20 May 2007 (EDT)
          • What I'm doing right now is making my way through each episode (Category:Episode Images), and on each picture with a main character and Sylar, I add [[Category:Images of (name)]] at the bottom. Lot of brute force, but the end-product is well worth the hassle. I'm working my way from the most recent episodes, if you'd like, you can start from the beginning. I think Heroe knocked out Genesis yesterday. After all that, I was going to search through each character to make sure I didn't miss any. There's bound to be a few on Powers images and such. --Bob 11:53, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

Add Voting Events?

Should we add to current events if there is an open talk-page poll for the naming/coining of a new character or power?--MiamiVolts (talk) 00:43, 9 June 2007 (EDT)

  • I think voting should be more publicized, so that's why I added the voting articles to current events. Ryan had suggested to add voting to Template:Todo or Template:Todo2. Template:Todo is linked in the talk pages of new users, but it is not a part of the main navigation. Template:Todo2 is on the main page, but is already kind of full.--MiamiVolts (talk) 14:32, 11 June 2007 (EDT)
    • You made it look very nice. I am personally not a big fan of publicizing name changes--I can't put my finger on why, maybe I just am kind of anti voting when it comes to article names. But that's another issue. :) You're right, though, Category:Pages to be renamed and the voting on talk pages are slightly different. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:16, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

How about...

A page for interviers and such, like Auisello? I'm sure people wonder "who the heck is Auisello" when they see his name all around the wiki. --Riddler 14:17, 29 June 2007 (EDT)

  • There's a bunch of links to popular Heroes spoiler sites (like Ausiello). That section could be put into a table or just expanded if you wanted. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:39, 29 June 2007 (EDT)

New background/skin

We have just selected a new logo for the site, and I propose a second summer haitus project. Some other wikis (here, [1]) have skins designed specifically for their site. Anybody else like the idea? Would it be possible? ---- 20:51, 6 July 2007 (EDT)

  • It would most definitely be possible if someone wants to tackle it. (Admin 21:24, 6 July 2007 (EDT))
    • It's not something I personally want to do, but I think it would be terrific to have some new skin. I'd love to see what people come up with. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 21:35, 6 July 2007 (EDT)
      • I prefer the current skin if a skin is necessary, but if I had the option to turn it off I would when Heroes is on air. I think it tends to add to lag which we experience when traffic goes high during the regular season.--MiamiVolts (talk) 12:11, 7 July 2007 (EDT)
        • I like the one we have now, but I wouldn't mind having another skin. Personally, I think the dark ones don't look very good, so I would want to see one closer to Lostpedia's. --Hero!(talk)(contribs) 12:17, 7 July 2007 (EDT)

Season One Histories

I included all main characters. For supporting characters, I chose to leave off any people that are dead or presumed dead and anybody who is not returning to the show for Season Two. We can always archive those people later if needed, but it'd be kind of pointless to archive a person's history if they're only in Season One. For recurring characters, none of those people were in Season One a substantial amount of times to archive their histories--in other words, if they appear in Season Two (even if they appear in a huge number of episodes), their Season One histories will look fine alongside their Season Two histories. I don't even think it would be necessary to put a "Season One" heading on them. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 11:01, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

  • We should hurry to have thoose page created. Season two is coming and it's about tobe such a mess if we have to deal with both season two and one. I know it's easy to say but harder (especcialy when you are French ;) ). I just wanted to highlight this page in case some of our contributors forget it ! --  (talk) 03:18, 16 August 2007 (EDT)
    • Nice work on moving the histories, FrenchFlo. We've still got a over month to get the summaries done. I think we'll manage without hurrying. :)--MiamiVolts (talk) 07:16, 16 August 2007 (EDT)

I submitted three questions (to CBR).

Hey, thanks for taking the time to read my questions. I've only got a few... For starters, I'm big into debates, and there is one that is driving us over at Heroeswiki insane. You guys nodded to "Electrokinesis" in a past BTE. Can we consider this a coined term, or is something along the lines of "Eletricity Generation" "Electricity Manipulation" or "Electrogenesis" more accurate?

Second, we've seen the past "Rapid Cellular Regeneration" which could be shortened to just Regeneration and the more recent "Adoptive Muscle Memory" which some people originally called "Photographic Reflexes." Will wee see any more powers scientifically renamed to the masses by Suresh?

Lastly, do you think any staff of the Heroes production team (anyone from writers to producers, etc) will make cameo appearances on the show? I think it'd be cool to see a couple of you guys show a power... just try not to get killed by Sylar.

Thanks again. Big fan- Riddler Rob of Long Island, New York.

:D --Riddler 23:03, 1 November 2007 (EDT)
  • Oh crap, sorry, didn't realize I posted it there. x.x --Riddler 23:07, 1 November 2007 (EDT)
    • No big deal. :) As an aside, you should have seen how ecstatic I was when Mohinder just out and named her ability. I was like, "Man, it's almost like they just came out with it so we'd stop arguing over it." haha (Admin 23:09, 1 November 2007 (EDT))
