  • Is this logo the image in its original format, or did you create it as a TIFF or PNG before converting it to JPEG? (Admin 16:23, 5 July 2007 (EDT))
    • I originally saved it as a jpg. I can convert it to png or some other format if you need....Speaking of the logo, I know there was a bit of talk about tweaking it a bit. You saw that I uploaded a few different versions, and I'm not opposed to changing it if needed. I wasn't quite sure how to do the border as you suggested. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 16:51, 5 July 2007 (EDT)
      • Could you save it as a PNG? I want to use the original one for now. The border won't even really be noticible at 160x160. If someone wants to clean up the border later on I can always update it. (Admin 19:29, 5 July 2007 (EDT))

24

I am indeed Conspiracy Unit from the 24 wiki. 24 is no longer my favourite show; that honour is Heroes'. Were you a user over there? --Conspiracy Unit 21:27, 6 July 2007 (EDT)

  • A little bit. I enjoy 24, but find it somewhat uneven. Still a fun ride. I use 24 Wiki mostly for the actor pages or if I miss an episode. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 21:31, 6 July 2007 (EDT)

hi-def

  • The high definition pictures are very pretty. Just be careful not to replace too many with high definition versions since in many cases they're a whole lot larger and the extra detail doesn't substantially enhance the quality of the article it's included in. We should definitely use them in instances where they help reveal a detail that's not visible at a lower resolution, but for most images it will just eat up bandwidth and increase the page load time. (Admin 21:02, 9 July 2007 (EDT))
  • Thanks. I'm resizing most of them to 450x350. I'm leaving the art ones as full size as possible. I've actually noticed that some of them are smaller file sizes. For instance, 127→126 KB, 95→93 KB, and 93→87 KB...Are there any in particular you feel are needlessly large? I'd be happy to fix any superfluous changes. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 21:10, 9 July 2007 (EDT)
    • Nah, they look ok at the moment. I just want to make sure we don't start a trend of replacing all our images with high-def ones where they might look a little nicer, but otherwise don't significantly add to the quality of the article they're used in. The ones that are around the same size as before are probably high-def images taken from low-def sources, so they've been a waste the whole time and at least now we're getting something out of that extra size. :) (Admin 21:20, 9 July 2007 (EDT))
      • Actually, I just uploaded the last of the ones I have. No worries ... until Season Two. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 21:47, 9 July 2007 (EDT)

Confused

hey there, I saw that there's been a bit of an overhaul of the Candice article - splitting it and such. Is this going to be a site-wide thing, experiment, or...? Thanks for your help. -- Lost Soul 07:06, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

  • The general consensus is to take main characters (and any "long" articles) and split their Season One histories off, kind of the way we did for Candice, FBI, and the Company. So, yes, site-wide, but not for every article. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 08:17, 19 July 2007 (EDT)
  • Oh, OK. I would help, but I don't think I'd be able to do the summary. I'll see how I feel. Thanks! -- Lost Soul 10:08, 19 July 2007 (EDT)
  • You're more than welcome to help out, of course. If you make any mistakes, we can always fix them up. But if you feel more comfortable, you can edit summaries that others write. We're pretty laid back. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 10:15, 19 July 2007 (EDT)
  • Good. I like laidback. ;) -- Lost Soul 10:17, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

Something Else

  • May I direct you here please; I made a new table format for this article in a sandbox and would be interested in your opinion. Thanks! -- Lost Soul 07:37, 20 July 2007 (EDT)

Peter's Exposed Powers

Hello mate,

Trying to add to Peter's exposed powers, but its formatted bit differently, and I'm an infant to editing wikis. Maybe something you can add?

Just a theory that Peter may have been exposed to the Haitian's powers on the rooftop in 'unexpected'. This may not be the case however if the Haitian knew of and blocked Peter's ability to mimic powers at that point in time, whilst leaving his flight power untouched.

I dunno, you think its something to be added to that section?

Interview

  • I noticed for the last round of interviews you posted on 9thwonders.com. Did you get a chance to for this round? It might help generate some more good questions. (Admin 10:16, 23 July 2007 (EDT))
    • I actually posted on 9thwonders after the interview was completed last time ... Good idea, though--I'll go over there right now and let 'em all know. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 15:27, 23 July 2007 (EDT)

Dehydration

I believe we can use the picture of the dead handcuffed guy as an example picture of Dehydration. His face is showing the results of Dehydration. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 07/24/2007 08:22 (EST)

  • Could be, but before we speculate, let's wait to see the power actually be used. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 08:29, 24 July 2007 (EDT)

Nice work

Saw some visitors coming in from here. Nice work. :) (Admin 12:22, 24 July 2007 (EDT))

  • Cool! Wasn't expecting that nice little blurb, just the info about Hector Bustamante, and maybe a link to our Season Two spoilers. I'm increasingly impressed with CBR. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 14:43, 24 July 2007 (EDT)
    • Very nice work indeed... according to the statistics, it's the first time in a few weeks traffic was up more on Wednesday.--MiamiVolts (talk) 00:35, 26 July 2007 (EDT)
      • Oh good, I'm glad...It's nice to get some new blood, isn't it? Plus, CBR has served us very well over the past year, I'm glad to give them a little back. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 01:03, 26 July 2007 (EDT)
      • Wow...the recent changes don't have much action today, either, so all that traffic seems to be a bunch of page views. Season Two spoilers is at 20,898 hits as of five minutes ago. Pretty impressive! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 01:06, 26 July 2007 (EDT)
        • According to the stats, there were 389,000+ hits, so looks like they saw more than just the spoiler page... that's good news, I hope. :)--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:25, 26 July 2007 (EDT)
          • The stats on Wednesday probably are inflated. Someone at Fark tried to directly link to an image here (which gets blocked) so it probably registered a lot of hits that were in fact denied. Tuesday's stats are realistic; many of them came from CBR. Not quite as many visitors from CBR on Wednesday. (Admin 01:46, 26 July 2007 (EDT))
            • Any way of telling how many hits that image got on Tuesday and Wednesday so we can get a rough idea of the count without it?--MiamiVolts (talk) 02:11, 26 July 2007 (EDT)
              • It skews the "visits" count more than the hits count, but as for the hits count subtract 8-10k and that should be make it closer to reality. So still a pretty active day. (Admin 02:24, 26 July 2007 (EDT))
                • Yeah, and if it's only 8-10k for that image then it is still the first time in a few weeks that the hits were up more on Wednesday.--MiamiVolts (talk) 10:49, 26 July 2007 (EDT)
            • Which image was it? -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 07:51, 26 July 2007 (EDT)

IR pics

No problem...I hate the way images are so hard to find and keep up with. I just saw what appeared from the IR page, where it kinda stopped without the finale IR pics, and the lead-up pics to the finale, and thought..."hey...those should be there". Wasn't aware of the 8-12 limit on powers page. This wiki is getting really big, and hard to keep up with alot of what's going on. Can't wait until next season gets rolling....did you see the new video clip? I'm sure their are more characters than what I could list, but the scenes change so fast, and the quality so poor that is is tough to be more certain. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 08/1/2007 17:22 (EST)

  • It is hard to keep up with images sometimes, especially if you're not aware of the examples pages. Use template:examples to guide yourself through those pages. Another good way to search for pictures is using template:imagenav to browse by character or episode.

    I'm really psyched for the new season--I've seen about four versions of that clip, each one slightly better quality than the last. I'm hoping NBC publicizes that clip, just as they did with the ComicCon panel. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:29, 1 August 2007 (EDT)

Pages I'd like to see, "Paul. E Sylar"

OK, spent some time researching and going through picture archives and transcripts, and gathered all I could find on this ?alias?. I just made a page for Paul E. Sylar, with all the relevant info I could think of. See what you think about it, and alter and adjust it as you see fit. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 08/2/2007 12:15 (EST)

  • I don't think it's accurate to link "Paul E. Sylar" with the other Sylar events that have taken place. Since it was never aired it sounds like they abandoned it so it's not related to the Sylar events we've seen. There's a Trivia entry on the Sylar page noting it and that's as much as we can say about it. (Admin 12:21, 2 August 2007 (EDT))
    • Actually, I didnt realize it until just now but we did have an article for Paul E. Sylar at one point in the past, but it was nominated for deletion back then, too. See the talk page for the explanation. (Admin 12:29, 2 August 2007 (EDT))
      • Right. Had it ever actually aired, there might be some justification to having an article, or at least a more prominent reference to the guy. But it's never aired, and any article would be purely speculative....and out of place. I believe there's a mention of it at Sylar#Trivia (which I still find a bit odd to have it on the Sylar page, since we have no idea if Paul (who doesn't exist in the world of Heroes) has anything to do with Gabriel Gray (who took his moniker from a watch). I mean, unless Paul E. Sylar (again, who doesn't exist in any canon source) made the watch or also took his name from the watch, then the two have nothing to do with each other--and if they do, it's only peripherally. I appreciate the effort to take care of my to do list, but that one is a relic from a long time ago, when it was really more of a note to myself to add some trivia somewhere. I'll remove it so it's not so confusing. Thanks, though. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:56, 2 August 2007 (EDT)

"Peter's smorgasbord of powers used to escape Sylar's rampage"

It's been bugging me for a while how in the "Examples of empathic mimicry" page, in Peter's smorgasbord of powers used to escape Sylar's rampage, the picture of the telekinesis is actually Peter throwing Isaac from Unexpected, not Peter throwing Sylar in .07%? I just checked, and there's a picture that the actual throw of Sylar in the Category:Images from .07% page. Could that be fixed, please? I don't know the coding to do it myself. --Spellingbee 23:11, 2 August 2007 (EDT)

  • No problem. I believe it's fixed now. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:34, 3 August 2007 (EDT)
  • It's fixed now. Thanks! Now... to study Wiki coding... --Spellingbee 20:06, 3 August 2007 (EDT)
    • Incidentally, if you have any questions about the code to use on the wiki, check out some of the help pages. You seem to know how to send a message--if you have any questions, don't hesitate to drop me a line and bounce any questions off me :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:39, 3 August 2007 (EDT)

actualy...

I bought it off this costume accessory dealer on eBay. They're custom made from this store in Hong Kong. And $12 is totally worth something as awesome. --Piemanmoo 01:14, 3 August 2007 (EDT)


Just wanted to say:

Thank you for your help with coding. :D I'm making it fairly obvious that I'm new to wikis, aren't I? >.> --AgentTwiggy 19:43, 4 August 2007 (GMT)

Sarmy

  • heh. Check out http://sylarsarmy.com/ They linked to the Sarmy page here using a modified version of the Heroes Wiki logo. I found it amusing (and kind of them). :) (Admin 00:10, 7 August 2007 (EDT))
    • Ah pretty cool. I was just there about an hour ago and didn't see it there. Very nice. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:16, 7 August 2007 (EDT)
      • And in other news, heroesfanatic.com posted the entire text of our Jason La Padura interview. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 01:06, 7 August 2007 (EDT)
        • That's awesome news! And your humility (or is it humbleness?) is inspiring. ;)--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:19, 7 August 2007 (EDT)
        • Is that good or bad? I notice they did include a link to the interview here at the top (though it's not too clear) and it says that the interview came from here, though I would have preferred if they had left the other links within the interview to articles here intact. (Admin 01:22, 7 August 2007 (EDT))
