Votepetrelli.com Texts
Is there any advantage to signing up for texts and emails for votepetrelli? I was wondering because the most recent (May 1) email from Primatech is asking the reader to sign up for texts. (Andrewzors 13:48, 1 May 2007 (EDT))
- I'm not sure, actually. I'm not signed up for either one. :) (Admin 02:26, 2 May 2007 (EDT))
Admin
- Hey, Bob. You interested in being an administrator here? (Admin 14:09, 3 May 2007 (EDT))
- Sure, I can do that. Once finals are done on the 11th, I'll have the summer pretty much available. Thanks.--Bob 14:15, 3 May 2007 (EDT)
- With my newly discovered powers, I'm seeing red exclamation points in the recent changes list. I should probably know what they mean, but I don't. --Ted C 15:28, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
- The exclamation points indicate changes that have not yet been "patrolled". Patrolling is a step admins take to essentially "validate" all changes and confirm that they're proper edits. When you view a diff that's not been patrolled yet it will let you mark it as patrolled. If the change looks good go ahead and mark it patrolled. This lets admins check out recent changes and filter out patrolled edits (by clicking "Hide patrolled edits") so they can check the unpatrolled ones and make sure they look good. It's essentially just a way of knowing what changes have been seen by an admin already and which haven't. Since there are times when there are tons of edits somtimes we'll just check out the unpatrolled list and make sure they look good. This way we can check all the changes that other admins haven't already marked as legitimate. (Admin 15:32, 4 May 2007 (EDT))
- I recall seeing a "patrolled" link once, but I'm not sure how I managed it, and I'm not seeing a way to mark edits patrolled. --Ted C 15:53, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
- In Special:Recentchanges by each individual edit is a "diff" link. Find an unpatrolled one (with an exclamation point), click it and at the top right of the diff under the summary you'll see a link "Mark as patrolled". (Admin 15:58, 4 May 2007 (EDT))
- Also, when you click on a new page (N), the patrol button is at the very bottom right. This goes for redirects, too. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:30, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

- Going to your link made me remind that Orne is an admin, Where is he ? Is he ... gone ? It's been a while I didn't saw him around... -- FrenchFlo (talk) 15:44, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
- You just don't see him Flo.--Bob 16:54, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
- Orne is engaged and probably deep into wedding plans and such. Anybody that's been through that process can tell you it's quite a ... process. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:30, 4 May 2007 (EDT)

Hmmm
- I'm getting a database error when I try to block User:Vagina. Any ideas?--Hardvice (talk) 03:42, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
- I've temporarily protected the main page for now until the block issue is sorted out and/or he gets bored. We can rollback whatever he does tonight in a matter of minutes anyway, so I'm going to bed.--Hardvice (talk) 04:23, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
- It's about 10'30am here so I'm here :) Good night! -- FrenchFlo (talk) 04:24, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
- Eeeexcellent. It's 3:30 AM here and I need sleep. A bientôt!--Hardvice (talk) 04:25, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
- I'm getting the same error message:
"A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:
(SQL query hidden)
from within function "Block::insert". MySQL returned error "1054: Unknown column 'ipb_enable_autoblock' in 'field list' (208.50.200.2:3307)"."

- Ok, I've fixed the problem now and blocked the vandal. (Admin 08:43, 4 May 2007 (EDT))
- It's too bad because I was actually thinking of changing my username to the one s/he chose. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 09:40, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
- Well, we won't be having any administrators with a username like that anytime soon I can assure you. :) (Admin 09:50, 4 May 2007 (EDT))

Persuasion power for Sylar
Hi! Thank you for your fast reply to my previous participation. I did never read anything official about it, but in "0.7%", during his confrontation with Isaac Mendez, it should be quite clear (in my opinion) Sylar tries to use Persuasion power in obligating Isaac to show him the future "He won't be". Are you really sure it is just a question of underlining "drama" ?
- The writers have confirmed that it simply for dramatic effect. Heroe!(talk) (contribs) Random Page! 10:37, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
- There's a discussion about this on the Sylar talk page here actually. The writers did explicitly say that he did not take her power. In fact, if you go back and compare the effect used with Eden's power to Sylar's voice you can tell that it's a different effect. (Admin 10:54, 4 May 2007 (EDT))
- Thank you so much for your kind and very satisfactory answer. Best regards. NK
Redirect
5YG and THP were just a way to reach the episode page faster than write "The Hard Part" in the search field. I wasn't about to use those redirects in any article. It was just to make editors navigation faster. An easy way to find the episode page! -- FrenchFlo (talk) 09:14, 9 May 2007 (EDT)
- I was afraid of seeing us ending up with somewhat cryptic redirects for every episode and I don't think that'll be a good idea. Good for a forum perhaps (though I'm sure many newcomers there find the abbreviations very confusing) where everyone abbreviates everything, but not so good here. By not redirecting it will hopefully discourage people from even trying to link to the abbreviations and instead just use the full episode name which will keep things clear. (Admin 09:37, 9 May 2007 (EDT))
Parody category
Lostpedia has a parody section with lists of Lost parodies and I think we should have one too. So far, I have seen 4 Heroes parodies (Zeroes, Zeroes 2, Family Guy parody and the MADtv parody). What do you think? -User:Citizen
- Sounds good to me. It might not have a whole lot of info to start, but hopefully will fill out in time. (Admin 16:39, 10 May 2007 (EDT))
Request on Got-Heroes.com again
- I just wanted to ask again how I can be linked under the fansite links that you have on the main page, etc. Please e-mail me at heroesforum@aol.com. (Erratikmind 19:35, 18 May 2007 (EDT))
