The Bottom Bar

The bar at the bottom which says all the stuff like "Heroes Wiki logo designed by" and "Privacy policy" is somewhat residing in the middle of every page rather than the bottom. It's kind of annoying. I have a picture of it, but it's not uploading for some reason.

  • The picture would be very helpful. Which web browser are you using? and is anyone else also seeing this problem? (Admin 09:06, 2 May 2008 (EDT))
  • I found a few things I missed when modifying the new version of the skin that could very likely have caused the problem you were seeing. If necessary, try clearing your cache and let me know if things look better now. (Admin 09:26, 2 May 2008 (EDT))
    • It's all fixed now. Thanks. --DocM 10:23, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

Hyphen code

Double dashes as hyphens is broken. I think the hyphen code needs to be restored.--MiamiVolts (talk) 14:20, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

  • Fixed now, thanks. I updated the new parser code with the conversion, but not the old parser code (which is the one we're using). (Admin 14:32, 2 May 2008 (EDT))


French Wiki

Because of personnal problems, I have been away from french version for some time. During thses weeks, the user Eutrope had made a very great work. So I think (if you're ok), we could be both co-admin of the french wiki...
Thank you very much. Hope to read you soon. Desperate July 05:56, 5 May 2008 (EDT)

  • Thank you for letting me know. I left a note on Eutrope's talk page, we'll see what happens! :) (Admin 06:07, 5 May 2008 (EDT))

The Upfronts

Hey, I just found online the schedule for the upfronts. This is when and where the networks will announce their final fall lineups:
Monday, May 12, 2008
NBC -- 5 p.m., Rockefeller Center

Tuesday, May 13, 2008
ABC -- 4 p.m., Avery Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center
The CW -- 6:30 p.m., The Tent at Lincoln Center

Wednesday, May 14, 2008
CBS -- 4 p.m., Carnegie Hall

Thursday, May 15, 2008
Fox -- 4 p.m., City Center

So we should learn what's coming for fall in a little over a week.--MiamiVolts (talk) 15:25, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

  • Great stuff, Miami! Hopefully some of my other show I watch/other faves get renewed!--SacValleyDweller (talk) 02:21, 9 May 2008 (EDT)
    • Thanks! I couldn't find a date for the Sci-Fi channel, though I'm guessing it's the same day as NBC. I'm curious to find out if Sci-Fi will pick up Journeyman, Bionic Woman or Jericho.--MiamiVolts (talk) 02:33, 9 May 2008 (EDT)
      • On Monday (yesterday), NBC released its upfronts schedule with timeslots for its new dramas. I've listed it on my subpage for reference. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything written about Sci-Fi Channel's schedule, though they did announce Telemundo's... Hrm. Anyways, still crossing my fingers Sci-Fi will announce by the end of the week.--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:20, 13 May 2008 (EDT)
      • ABC and the CW upfronts were Tuesday as scheduled. I've updated my listing accordingly.--MiamiVolts (talk) 02:12, 14 May 2008 (EDT)
        • I updated the cast list for "Surviving the Filthy Rich" and "Crusoe". Crusoe's cast is shaping up rather nicely, I think, and that may be an understatement. Have you looked over the listing, Admin?--MiamiVolts (talk) 02:42, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
        • Just added the CW's new Sunday dramas that are being created by MRC: Valentine, Inc. and Easy Money. So two more summaries for you to check out. :)--MiamiVolts (talk) 12:33, 2 June 2008 (EDT)

Removal

Sgtbenc is requesting account removal. See here.--MiamiVolts (talk) 20:25, 11 May 2008 (EDT)

  • I deleted the user page in case there was any info in the history there the user didn't want seen, but accounts themselves never get deleted. (Admin 22:44, 11 May 2008 (EDT))

What the fu-!?

Sometimes I visit this website using Firefox on a Mac. When I visit some pages, a little window pops up that says, "The document has no data," and when I click "OK", it pops back up again and prevents me from exiting the page. This usually happens on the recent changes page or talk pages. Can you explain this? --Hero!(talk)(contribs) 14:19, 14 May 2008 (EDT)

  • Hmm... I use Firefox on a Mac sometimes, too, and I don't think I've seen that happen. I'll keep an eye out for it. Do you have any plugins installed that might be causing the problem? (Admin 18:19, 15 May 2008 (EDT))

Hi there... we're experiencing some problems with the Imagelinks on the German site. Normally if you click on a picture this page opens. Now it only appears an error page like this. And it seems like this only happens with the "original" pictures of the english Heroeswiki. This one works, but it's a picture I uploaded. Is there a way to fix this? Thx. --Muffin84 18:46, 16 May 2008 (EDT)

  • Thank you for letting me know. I'm taking a look at it now. The maintainers of MediaWiki really messed up this newer release. Other releases are usually much smoother. (Admin 20:15, 16 May 2008 (EDT))

Swedish verision

Sorry, but I don't know if I can translate the wiki to Swedish. When I asked som fans before you putted up the wiki, then they was really intrested to help but now they aren't. And I can't translate the whole wiki by myself. So it's up to you if you delete the Swedish verision or if you find another admin. Sorry... --DanielR 08:33, 26 May 2008 (EDT)

Articles with &

Why do articles with & work in the english version (like in Nat & Noo Hotel)? While it doesn't work in the german one... I could create a page with this name (new pages) but it's no working, it directs to just Nat. Is it possible to fix this or should I just create a page with and? --Muffin84 09:13, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

  • It was something I had to specifically fix here. I'll fix it on the German site in a moment, too. (Admin 10:02, 5 June 2008 (EDT))
    • Now it works. Thanks. --Muffin84 10:49, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

Digg

If you're still up, will you do a Digg page for me for Interview:R.D. Hall? Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:29, 12 June 2008 (EDT)

  • Sure. (Admin 00:44, 12 June 2008 (EDT))
    • If you're willing to update the ads for this interview too, I've listed some here.--MiamiVolts (talk) 03:04, 12 June 2008 (EDT)

Forum

I just wondered, have you ever thought about having a HeroesWiki forum? I know a lot of people here use the 9th Wonders boards, but I think it could be a pretty cool addition if you thought it worthwhile. -- Friskymuffin - (talk) 11:36, 13 June 2008 (EDT)

  • That idea comes up from time to time. Here's an archive of my reply last time it came up. :) (Admin 13:50, 12 June 2008 (EDT))
    • I guess that makes sense, but if you ever change your mind I'll be more than willing to help make one :) -- Friskymuffin - (talk) 11:20, 13 June 2008 (EDT)

SDCC

Are you still planning on going this year? Kristin just posted a tentative schedule.--MiamiVolts (talk) 18:18, 19 June 2008 (EDT)

  • Sure am. I took care of my registration, flights, and hotel last year. :) (Admin 00:57, 20 June 2008 (EDT))
    • Cool. Looks like it should be good this year based on the schedule.--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:26, 20 June 2008 (EDT)
      • Are you flying out soon? Considering the increase in ticket costs, I bet you're very happy to have bought your plane tickets last year. Hope you have fun.--MiamiVolts (talk) 00:59, 22 July 2008 (EDT)
        • Actually, I had another personal event come up at the end of this week that I wasn't willing to skip, so I had to cancel my trip to Comic-Con this year. Oh well, I'll try again next year. (Admin 01:14, 22 July 2008 (EDT))
          • Oh my, sorry to hear that. I hope everything will be okay.--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:34, 22 July 2008 (EDT)
            • It's not anything bad. I just had to make a choice which one to attend and since one is for a close friend I decided (easily) to skip Comic-Con in order to attend it. Just a case of unfortunate timing. (Admin 01:37, 22 July 2008 (EDT))

Heroes Trading Cards info/request to upload information

Hey there, I was wondering what the rules for the Heroes Trading Cards would be. I know they have all the sketches and things on the website. But I was wondering if I could upload all the images from the cards and post all the info for informational purposes. I don't believe this would be against copyright laws, since sites that sell individual cards (for other trading card games) have to post the image in order for the user to see what card they are buying.

I just think this would be an EXCELLENT addition to the Heroes wiki page, but I just wanted to get a confirmation that it would be ok to do this. Thanks!

  • As long as they're not really high quality images it might be ok, but I'm not positive. Basically for the images to fall under fair use they need to be used to demonstrate or explain something. If they're all just uploaded and sitting in a large gallery then I don't think we could do that. What kind of info is on the cards? Is it character info that we already have covered in the character articles for instance? (Admin 00:56, 20 June 2008 (EDT))
    • We do have a page for trading cards, but those we have listed we've gotten explicit permission to use from the artists in question. Can you do that for the cards you want to add?--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:28, 20 June 2008 (EDT)

Amazon ads

Amazon's already listing Vol. 2 of the GN collection: http://www.amazon.com/Heroes-V-02-Tim-Sale/dp/140121925X
Just giving you a heads up in case you want to add it to the ads list.--MiamiVolts (talk) 14:44, 20 June 2008 (EDT)

Interviews

  • I've started to make that list - do you want me to carry on with it? I'm asking you, because Ryan hasn't been on in a few days. :)--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  15:02, 20 June 2008 (EDT)
    • If you're making a list already then you're welcome to email it to Ryan and me if you'd like. I don't know if he has an IMDB Pro subscription already or not, but it might help him contact people in the future. I don't know what IMDB's terms of use are, but I'd imagine they don't allow you to publically post the info, right? (Admin 15:04, 20 June 2008 (EDT))
      • Regardless of whether they let you or not, I think it's better to e-mail it since some of the info. is probably the private variety. Ryan's been out being campmaster this week, so that's why he's been around less, but I think he would appreciate the information if you e-mailed it to him. You might be able to coordinate contacting the talent agencies together or something.--MiamiVolts (talk) 15:11, 20 June 2008 (EDT)
        • Hmmm, well this isn't talent agencies: it's predominately managers and publicists, if I can find them. I've already got detals for several of the Heroes cast. Admin, do you have an email address, and I'll send it to both you and Ryan once I'm done?--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  15:27, 20 June 2008 (EDT)

JG Roshell interview

You should update your 9thwonders.com post: JG Roschell stopped doing the graphic novels as of a month ago. Currently, the person who's doing them is Comicraftsman Albert Deschesne.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:19, 21 June 2008 (EDT)

  • I tweaked it a little so that it's accurate again. Thanks. (Admin 23:21, 21 June 2008 (EDT))

Interviews..

  • Hey Admin! My IMDbPro trial ends tonight, so is there anyone in particular you would like to see interviewed, so I can get their details? Thanks,--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  09:27, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
    • Anyone?--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  12:10, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
      • Hmm. Zach Quinto, Greg Grunberg, Adrian Pasdar, Ashley Crow, Cristine Rose are probably on my list of people I think would be interesting to see interviewed. (Admin 12:14, 24 June 2008 (EDT))
        • I contacted all of those, except Cristine, whose details I couldn't find. Anyone other than those? :)--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  12:17, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
          • Not that I can think of off the top of my head. If you didn't mind the work and just wanted to milk the subscription for all it was worth you could just go browse the cast portal and jot down everyone's information in case you ever needed it later. :) (Admin 12:25, 24 June 2008 (EDT))
          • Can you grab a few of the special effects artists, such as Greg Solomon, Brian Blair, Doug Ludwig? Some of the stunts people, especially Darryl Chan? In any case, if you can grab a few we don't have photos of so we can at least request a publicity headshot that would be great.--MiamiVolts (talk) 12:41, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
            • That's a very good idea. (Admin 12:42, 24 June 2008 (EDT))
              • The only person with any details was Ragui Hanna, one of the digital compositors on the show. But they are on the list. I have secured a mini-interview (of sorts) with Hayden Panettiere - it'll be about 3 questions (although I'm trying to negotiate that), which her publicist will send to Hayden. Good times. :)--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  15:25, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
                • What's her publicist think she is...a genie? :) Make one of the questions be, "Will you talk directly to us so we can give you a proper interview and not just 3 questions." ;) (Admin 15:30, 24 June 2008 (EDT))
                  • I emailed her to ask for more questions. I have got contact details for the digital compositor, various digital/visual effects artists, Tim Sale, Wendy and Lisa, an editor, and Aury Wallington. :)--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  15:43, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
                  • LOL. I imagine her publicist's response being: No, you just wasted one of your questions... Anyways, have you checked out both Category:Crew articles without images and the new cast names in Spoiler:Season Three (assuming you read spoilers).--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:36, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
                    • Haha, she hasn't responded yet. As for your questions; no to the first one, and yes to the second. I have emailed some of the prospective cast members. I just received a reply from Nicholas D'Agosto this morning. :)--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  02:51, 25 June 2008 (EDT)
                      • Maybe they'd be kind enough to let you email a number of questions and let Hayden answer the ones she wants. That way if she can't or doesn't want to answer one of the few questions she'd be asked she can just pick a different one. (Admin 22:47, 25 June 2008 (EDT))
    • One of my dream interviews would actually be to interview a props guy. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 08:54, 25 June 2008 (EDT)
  • I think I just found one of Dena Allen's websites, and it gives an e-mail for her. Want to give it a shot, Ryan/Lost Soul?--MiamiVolts (talk) 15:57, 25 June 2008 (EDT)
    • I'll check it out. :). Thanks! Update: Hayden's question submission is now at 5. Brea Grant may be able to do an interview. Wendy and Lisa definitely want to do it. Waiting more replies, but it's possible that I may be able to send some questions to God himself. We'll wait and see.--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  16:44, 25 June 2008 (EDT)
      • That's great. When you go to setup the interviews I do recommend spacing them out by a week or so at least. This way it gives people here time to add questions and can give us time to promote the interview as needed to help accumulate additional questions for it. (Admin 16:58, 25 June 2008 (EDT))
        • Sure thing. Wendy and Lisa's is going to be on the week of the 14th July anyhow, so that's okay. Hayden's questions have to be submitted at the end of July, but I'll have to set that up on the week of the 7th so they're there before I go on holiday. :)--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  17:03, 25 June 2008 (EDT)
          • I'd love to be the one who interviews Greg Grunberg (if possible), if you don't mind. He's my god damn hero, and I want to tell him so. --DocM 17:58, 25 June 2008 (EDT)
            • Well, I just spoke to Kristy at NBC, and she told me to contact them at the end of August, and they'll attempt to co-ordinate some interviews with us before the premiere happens. There could be something happening with Tim Kring, but we'll see. :)--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  15:50, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

Nicholas D'Agosto interview

Admin, can you announce the upcoming interview in MediaWiki:Sitenotice? Asking you since you're the main administrator around right now. I already noted it in current events but that's not really the same thing. :)--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:02, 25 June 2008 (EDT)

  • Done. (Admin 22:50, 25 June 2008 (EDT))

RE:Patroller

  • First off, it's an honour to be asked. But I need to know, what does a patroller do? What does the job entail, i.e. will it take up a lot of time? I ask because, well, I'm a student. You know how it is. But I would be very interested. :)--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  01:56, 26 June 2008 (EDT)

A query (poss. spoilers)

  • Hey there, Admin! I just secured an interview with Brea Grant, who is going to be in Season 3. The folks at NBC have told me I have to wait until the end of August to get in contact with them, but, when I do, they'll try to coordinate some stuff with me. Anyhow, I was thinking about the interview with Brea, and wondering what to do about spoilers? Obviously, her interview will contain some spoilers, so does it go in the spoiler namespace or the interview namespace? Thanks,--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  03:01, 28 June 2008 (EDT)
    • Congrats! I think this is more a discussion that belongs on the Community portal. Normally, all interviews, spoiler-containing or not, go in the Interview namespace. Since Brea's already been interviewed a couple times already, she may want to wait until she premieres on the show before doing another Heroes interview. That'd probably be better for us too, since we'd have more to ask her about. If we interview Brea before she appears on the show, I think adding a spoiler tag at the top would be appropriate but not using the spoiler namespace.--MiamiVolts (talk) 03:17, 28 June 2008 (EDT)

Theory guidelines

On all of the theory pages there are guidelines at the bottom... I'm told instead of <br> we should be using <br />. So can you change the guidelines at the bottom of the theory pages to reflect this? Also, a note in there about using correct punctuation could be a good idea - a lot of theories are written without capital letters or full stops. Thanks, Friskymuffin - (talk) 14:50, 4 July 2008 (EDT)

  • I'll fix the <br /> reference. The capitalization is definitely something to be corrected. The punctuation at the end of the word "None" for instance isn't needed because it's not actually a sentence. (Admin 15:03, 4 July 2008 (EDT))
    • I guess I'm just a perfectionist :P thanks! -- Friskymuffin - (talk) 15:07, 4 July 2008 (EDT)

Indents on talk pages

Hey, on my talk page here I've used the standard format of using an asterisk for each reply, but instead of making an indent it seems to have added a bullet point each time. Any reason why this is happening? Thanks in advance, Friskymuffin - (talk) 19:27, 6 July 2008 (EDT)

  • Asterisks create bullets. If you want an indent, use colons (:). (Admin 19:47, 6 July 2008 (EDT))
    • I thought that for every reply, if you use an asterisk it will indent the reply and then add a bullet point, as it seems to be on every other talk page? And like it has here? -- Friskymuffin - (talk) 19:52, 6 July 2008 (EDT)
      • A double asterisk (**) should make one bullet and one indent, though (provided a single asterisk was used for prior line). Similarly, a triple asterisk should make one bullet and two indents (and so on). I think you're having trouble with that cause of the background you're applying. Multiple asterisk don't work inside tables.--MiamiVolts (talk) 19:56, 6 July 2008 (EDT)
        • I'm sure it's worked before... but that could be the reason. Thanks Miami! -- Friskymuffin - (talk) 20:03, 6 July 2008 (EDT)

New show: Gemini Division

According to NBC UMV, Rosario Dawson and Justin Hartley will co-star in a new web-only original series called Gemini Division and the show will begin in August. The article also talks a little about the Comi-con, you might want to read it just for that reason alone. Show detail is in an earlier UMV release. The plot sounds eerily familiar, but it's got a couple of good stars... What do you think?--MiamiVolts (talk) 05:24, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

Namespaces

Is there any way to view all the pages in a given namespace, say all the pages and talk pages in the namespace "Interview"? --SacValleyDweller (talk) 19:44, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

  • Yeah, you can do so with DPL. Try: {{#dpl:|namespace=Interview}}--MiamiVolts (talk) 21:52, 7 July 2008 (EDT)
    • Don't use DPL for it unless it has to be embedded. Use Special:Allpages and select the namespace. DPL slows pages down so much it should be used very sparingly. (Admin 22:57, 7 July 2008 (EDT))

DC Comics is doing a six-issue hardcover prequel for FOX's upcoming Fringe series. Issue #1 is to be released August 27, 2008 (a web version is not planned...). Read more about it here and about their viral marketing here. They also have a new website: [1]--MiamiVolts (talk) 03:04, 11 July 2008 (EDT)


Interviews

  • Hey, I've spoken to Ryangibsonstewart and he said it would be fine for me to try and get us a few more interviews. He said I should speak to you first to ask how I should ask them ect., so what do you think? . --Skywalkerrbf 10:17, 13 July 2008 (EDT)
    • I'm not sure how to get in contact with them exactly. He may have referred you to me just so I could make sure you knew that when you do contact people for interviews when you mention Heroes Wiki you say that you're a contributor to Heroes Wiki rather than working on behalf of Heroes Wiki for instance. With a community driven site like this isn't not really possible for a single person to officially act on behalf of the whole site and I just want it to be clear that people are basically freelance volunteers rather than say paid members of an organization (though no one gets paid for this site). (Admin 10:24, 13 July 2008 (EDT))
    • Sorry yer I ment in which manner should I get in contact with them not how, I have found some contact details already. So if I say 'Hi I am a contributor of heroes wiki and was wondering if it was posible for you to take part in a interview whitch will be posted on the site' then that would be ok? --Skywalkerrbf 10:58, 13 July 2008 (EDT)
      • Yeah, that kind of wording sounds just fine! :) (Admin 12:08, 13 July 2008 (EDT))
  • Hey I duno if you noticed but I already have three actors agreeing to interviews! --Skywalkerrbf 17:53, 14 July 2008 (EDT)
    • That's great news! :) (Admin 16:31, 15 July 2008 (EDT))
  • ok I will make a page now and rereveal the 6!!! actors that I have for defo. I also have one mayby and one rejection but 6 yeses in 3 days is pretty good! --Skywalkerrbf 17:04, 15 July 2008 (EDT)
  • Yer I realy didn't think sorry, but if people do come up with enything I didn't cover then they should feel free to sumbit them. And I would never do it for enyone higher than a guest star. Sorry again. --Skywalkerrbf 17:34, 15 July 2008 (EDT)
    • Oh, it's not a problem... it's your interview afterall! :) I'm just offering some suggestions to help make them even better. I think it's great that you were able to get interviews with them. :) (Admin 17:38, 15 July 2008 (EDT))
      • Yer feel free to add eny comments you want, I don't want to do this wrong! I have now sent off 5 sets of questions and I hope that they will return soon. I just wish I had stated earlyer so I could of filled the gap between the seasons better. Also i think Ryan needs a award or somthing, he is easy to talk to and he knows a lot.--Skywalkerrbf 18:34, 15 July 2008 (EDT)
  • Yes a defently am going to go into detail with my two major interviews, but with guest stars theres only so mutch oyu can ask them. If you can think of eny more questions for either of them then both of them said that it would be alright to send some more eny time. --Skywalkerrbf 15:30, 16 July 2008 (EDT)
    • That's great. I think one of the keys is to spread them out (not doing too many at once) and giving people time to submit questions. When there aren't too many at once I can go promote them more easily on sites like 9thwonders.com. (Admin 15:40, 16 July 2008 (EDT))
      • Yer from now on that is what I will do. I have sent questions to three more people but that is it. I think that they will spread right up to the start as some people will take weeks to respond and weeks again to reply to the questions, I was lucky finding two people who both agreed striaght away. btw why is the West interview not up at the top? --Skywalkerrbf 16:03, 16 July 2008 (EDT)
        • I only keep notices at the top for about two weeks at most. Since it appears on every page I use it sparingly and only to get news out quickly. (Admin 16:05, 16 July 2008 (EDT))
  • O, ok. I have only given a week as I am going on holiday fairly soon and wanted it done before hand. Also do you have a template for porfiles? I am not good at stuff like that and I don't want to steal someone elses. --Skywalkerrbf 16:13, 16 July 2008 (EDT)
  • I know have interviews with Brian Prescott and Kiko Ellsworth. On the 23rd when the questionsfor Shailm have been surgested, can you put both of thease up please? I am goin got try post them togther as they are both to do with the webisodes, thanks. --Skywalkerrbf 17:06, 17 July 2008 (EDT)
    • Make that Mark Steger too please. :) --Skywalkerrbf 05:46, 18 July 2008 (EDT)
      • Sure. That'll be neat, interviews with all the characters in Going Postal so far. :) (Admin 09:28, 18 July 2008 (EDT))
        • Thanks :). I also have a interview with Roberto Sanchez but I don't feel he is important enough to go on the top though, I am still giving people to the 24th to sumbit questions though. --Skywalkerrbf 11:44, 18 July 2008 (EDT)


Spelling

Yer sorry it is realy bad. Where is the spell checker on firefox?--Skywalkerrbf 13:43, 18 July 2008 (EDT)

  • It's in the preferences somewhere. I'm not sure where it will be for you or if it's even turned on or off right now. My version of Firefox is a bit different than other people's. (Admin 13:46, 18 July 2008 (EDT))

Interivews 2

Sorry was that page a created a spoiler? I wasn't sure or not, sos. --Skywalkerrbf 12:30, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

  • No, it was just the page you blanked when you accidentally put the interview info on the main page instead of the discussion. I saw the page was blanked once you moved it over to the discussion page and just deleted the empty page. (Admin 12:33, 21 July 2008 (EDT))

Advertising Interviews

As some users have asked me to space out the interviews, I have made the page User:Skywalkerrbf/schedule so you know when to put each interview at the top, if its alright with you that is. --Skywalkerrbf 12:36, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

    • I am sending the Shalim Ortiz questions tomorrow morning so the banner can be updated when eber and replaced with Roberto Sanchez for a few days, if htats alright with you. --Skywalkerrbf 17:18, 21 July 2008 (EDT)
      • Thanks. The interviews are coming too closely together, so I'm only going to include at the top interviews with the most high profile cast/crew. (Ideally interviews should each be at least two weeks apart, if not more. Admin 00:03, 22 July 2008 (EDT))
        • O I was making htem 5 days apart. I am trying to lead them up to September 22nd, the start of season 3, as after that time I will have loads of school work. I feel pretty stupid atm asking people if it is ok to send the quesiotns 2 months from now lol. --Skywalkerrbf 05:56, 22 July 2008 (EDT)
  • If you don't want to advertise roberto, hows about Debra McGuire? --Skywalkerrbf 09:47, 22 July 2008 (EDT)

Digg 2

A few of Skywalkerrbf's interviews and RGS's new two interviews need Digg links. Can you still take care of those, Admin?--MiamiVolts (talk) 13:04, 27 July 2008 (EDT)

AFD's

Is there any way you can get on cleaning out Category:Articles for Deletion? I've had User:SacValleyDweller/HeroesFaveGN in there for three months, Image:3 Amigos.jpg has been in there for 5 months, and Image:Peter's eye.jpg for a whopping 8.5 months. It's starting to bug me. --SacValleyDweller (talk) 01:37, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

  • Thanks for the heads up. I took care of the ones you requested and a few others that were straightforward. I'll be cleaning out some more of the images for deletion, too, when I have a chance. (Admin 11:41, 3 August 2008 (EDT))
    • Thanks for taking care of those Admin. I usually try to stay on top of deleting at least the AFDed user pages, but I haven't been able to even log on every day this summer, let alone patrol edits or keep up with AFDs. I'm sure much of that will change in about a week or so... -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:05, 3 August 2008 (EDT)

Autofinance

Autofinance is using his/her userpage and talk page to advertising auto-financing programs. Is that okay here?--MiamiVolts (talk) 10:43, 8 August 2008 (EDT)

  • No, it's not. I had a feeling it was a spam account when I saw it. I'll give them one more chance to edit constructively and then they're getting blocked. (Admin 11:30, 8 August 2008 (EDT))
    • It looks like Autofinance is back. Check out User:Cardollarsonline and his/her related User talk:Cardollarsonline.--MiamiVolts (talk) 03:42, 10 September 2008 (EDT)

Spoilers on theory pages

My memory is a little rusty... Does this qualify as a spoiler? I'm guessing you've seen this already which is why I'm asking you. Though sorry if you haven't seen it and it is true! If it's any consolation I didn't want to find out. -- Friskymuffin - (talk) 13:35, 10 August 2008 (EDT)


Interview with Jimmy Jean-Louis

I have a interview with Jimmy Jean-Louis, would you mind advertising it along the top? He wants to do it soon and I don't want to agruge with him, I love him in the show. :) --Skywalkerrbf 05:56, 20 August 2008 (EDT)

Request

I know this is a strange thing to ask, but is there anyway Heroes Wiki could get the free trile of IMDb pro? You have to enter credit card details which I don't have. If we got it then I would be able to open up our interviews to just about everybody. Thanks. --Skywalkerrbf 09:29, 21 August 2008 (EDT)

A question

Hi, Admin. I'm Sam McPherson. We talked a bit on Lostpedia awhile back. I've been lurking on HeroesWiki for quite a while, and I so far like the site. The reason it took me all this time to register is because I was a little weary of the way your character articles here on the wiki are set up. Maybe it's just because I'm used to it, but I think that arranging the articles by the medium they appeared in is confusing, and hard to follow. Perhaps if you arranged them into chronological order, it would be easier to follow? Just a suggestion. I'm not trying to turn you into Lostpedia, but I think it would be a better organization sort of thing. Please, let me know what you think. --Sam McPherson 17:58, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

Don't know if you saw this, just making sure. --Sam McPherson 20:06, 23 August 2008 (EDT)
I think your question, Sam, was addressed somewhere else (cant think of where off the top of my head) and I think the rational for the way do it is two fold: One, It's easier to see if/when the episodic/GN/webisodic updates have been done; Two, it helps to limit spoiler exposure for non-US viewers who use this site and watch the show at their own country's chosen pace. --SacValleyDweller (talk) 20:21, 23 August 2008 (EDT)
Plus it's not always possible to establish an exact chronology between two episodes or graphic novels (especially so in a series involving heavy time travel), so any in-world chronological ordering would end up with speculation. When we first started with per-episode summaries it was natural to just order them by when the episode/graphic novel was released so that's the way it's always been done. The problem is that you won't be able to please everyone using one method over the other and since the current way generally makes things easier we do it that way. (Admin 20:27, 23 August 2008 (EDT))

Multiple accounts?

I've been patrolling the huge amount of edits of all these user profiles, and I was wondering if they're all on the same IP address. It appears that they're all family and friends, but I think it's all originating from one IP source and they're just making user accounts for all their family members. It's the Gitelmans, Espinals, Castles and Grullons.--Bob (talk) 18:05, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

  • I noticed this too, do you think they might think its a role playing site? --Skywalkerrbf 18:07, 23 August 2008 (EDT)
  • Yes, it's all from a single IP registering with a single email address. There are 15 accounts I believe. There's no explicit rule that says you cannot have all those accounts, however I'm not going to allow it to continue without an explanation. (Admin 18:25, 23 August 2008 (EDT))
    • There isn't a rule? Why can we block an IP address for creating multiple accounts then? Anyway, glad the situation is being dealt with.--Bob (talk) 18:40, 23 August 2008 (EDT)
      • To be honest, it's never really come up before on this scale. Basically there's no rule that says you can't have a couple accounts as long as you're not using them to abuse anything... but at the same time there's no need for multiple accounts. If there's a legitimate need for 15 accounts then it's ok, but I personally doubt there's ever a legitimate need for that many. (Admin 18:42, 23 August 2008 (EDT))
        • Fifteen people living in one household is about the only thing that comes to mind. Either way, an explanation would be nice. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:12, 23 August 2008 (EDT)

Interviews

Would you rather me post the interviews when I get them back or say once a week? If a do them once a week they should last for about a year. --Skywalkerrbf 08:28, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

  • I think once you have the results from the interview there's not much point in just sitting on them. I'd post them as soon as you get them. (Admin 09:27, 24 August 2008 (EDT))

Me and Lost Soul (mainly lost Soul) have secured a interview of our choice every month! Check out Lost Soul's talk page for more info. --Skywalkerrbf 13:37, 27 August 2008 (EDT)

    • I got this email too. --Skywalkerrbf 05:44, 28 August 2008 (EDT)

Autosigs on Talk:Main Page

For some reason, the autosig templates on Talk:Main Page aren't including the template, they're simply linking to the sig page. Odd. Check it out. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 10:49, 15 September 2008 (EDT)

  • It's because of that additional ArchiveLinks template at the top. The page is now exceeding the transclusion limit I think. That ArchiveLinks template has never worked right. I won't use it and I'd be happy if it went away completely. (Admin 11:05, 15 September 2008 (EDT))

Sad to see

Sad to see your other wikis not doing so well, I am trying to join the BionicWiki to try clean it up a bit so it will be able to float by its self, are you going to keep it going?--Skywalkerrbf 17:28, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

  • I'll keep it up for now, but if the series doesn't come back to some other network then considering its short run it might go away eventually. (Admin 18:14, 18 September 2008 (EDT))
    • I've done a bit of a re-work just now, its the stubs which are the real problem. How meny views does it get atm?--Skywalkerrbf 18:16, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

Recording...

You said you were recording the Premiere show... is there any way you could send me the Fan segment? If you can, send from where Ali Larter starts the segment to the end of it? =] --Riddler 23:46, 22 September 2008 (EDT)

  • NBC has it online here. (Admin 00:21, 24 September 2008 (EDT))
    • I can't rip that. I want a copy for myself, y'know?--Riddler 17:28, 26 September 2008 (EDT)
    • For some reason, when I load that page, or if I go through the Heroes page and click on this link, it just shows me the peacock with a flicker every 4 seconds or so. No video whatsoever. Do you know if NBC is blocking Linux viewers? I'm running the most up-to-date Firefox, no adblocks or script blocks on the page.--Bob (talk) 17:55, 26 September 2008 (EDT)
      • I watched it using Firefox 2.0.0.16 on Linux just fine, though I did have to disable Adblock for it to load properly. (Admin 17:57, 26 September 2008 (EDT))
        • Hm, I'm using 3.0.3. Maybe that's why. I did disable ABP and NoScript on the page. I actually cannot watch any of the episodes for Heroes, but I can watch the clips, like the writer interviews.--Bob (talk) 18:30, 26 September 2008 (EDT)
          • ...So... any help, please?--Riddler 21:21, 26 September 2008 (EDT)
            • I have no video capture equipment except for a Tivo, and I can't transfer recordings off of it. (Admin 21:22, 26 September 2008 (EDT))
              • Damn. Ah well. I wish there was somewhere online I could find it. Thanks anyway. --Riddler 21:27, 26 September 2008 (EDT)

Masi Oka Press Call

I have been invited to the Press Call with Masi Oka, best birthday present ever! Its on friday so if we are going ot ask for questions we need to be quick.--Skywalkerrbf 13:27, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

  • Congrats! :) Just set things up like last time and you should be good. (Admin 13:27, 24 September 2008 (EDT))
    • Good good, it cost me £15 last time lol so I am hoping it will be a bit shorter this time.--Skywalkerrbf 13:31, 24 September 2008 (EDT)
      • All done :) He was very nice and even wished me happy birthday! Got to ask about 4 questions too, i ran out of them.--Skywalkerrbf 14:00, 26 September 2008 (EDT)
        • Awesome! Congratulations. Now when people asked what you did on your birthday, you can tell them you spoke to Hiro Nakamura from Heroes. :) (Admin 14:03, 26 September 2008 (EDT))

Re: Peter-Future Peter abilities

You gave the reason for removal of the abilities as:

"No evidence Peter would be exposed to any abilities from Future Peter other than his power mimicry."

But, ie're putting Sylar's powers he hasn't displayed on the list, shouldn't it stand to reason that we should put Future Peter's powers there too? The idea that his power wouldn't absorb Future Peter's power is only based on assumptions (eg - it's the same person).

It also seems that the list is being used for powers he was exposed to, not whether he obtained them (eg - the Daphne discussion with the Haitian being present). --Stevehim 09:28, September 30, 2008 (EDT)

  • Hi, Stevehim. First off, when you add to discussion pages please sign your messages using ~~~~ at the end that way everyone can tell who you are. :) Ok, now onto business. There are some weird implications to him being able to mimic abilities from his future self, so it's a road I'm not so sure that the writers intend to follow. I think rather than muddying things up between Peter and Future Peter that we'd be better off excluding powers from Future Peter until such time that we actually see him mimic an ability he only was exposed to by Future Peter. Until then I think it's reasonable that the only ability he'd even be exposed to by Future Peter is his ability mimicry. Sylar is different than Peter in that he actually has multiple abilities now versus Peter who has a single ability (to mimic the abilities of others). I suppose it can be a tricky distinction. In any event, if there's not a discussion on whether Future Peter's powers should be included, feel free to start it on Template talk:Peterexposed. If there's eventually consensus that Future Peter's powers should be included, then we can add them. (Admin 09:38, 30 September 2008 (EDT))
