Grounded

  • FYI I added Mark Sable's "Grounded" and "Hazed" into the Amazon product rotation. (Admin 00:19, 1 June 2008 (EDT))
    • Oh, cool, I'll let him know. Thanks--what a great idea! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:38, 1 June 2008 (EDT)
      • Is that easy to do? I sent Ryan by e-mail the transcription of the last part of the R.D. Hall interview, so I've a few ideas about products to add for that interview.--MiamiVolts (talk) 21:36, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

Delete it

yes i would like you to delete it, thanks

It's time!

Just to let everybody know that my wife's water broke, so we're heading to the hospital in a little bit...and I'll probably be in and out of commission over the next week or so. See ya! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 17:11, 1 June 2008 (EDT)

  • Congrats, Ryan! Drive safely!--MiamiVolts (talk) 17:41, 1 June 2008 (EDT)
    • Indeed *hopes Mrs. Stewart's time in labor is short and Oscar comes out OK* --SacValleyDweller (talk) 17:49, 1 June 2008 (EDT)
      • Aw, my glass of water broke. Now it's all over my desk. (good luck) --DocM 17:52, 1 June 2008 (EDT)
        • Thanks, guys! We're leaving for the hospital in about 10 minutes, now that the kids are all safe and settled at the sitter's. We're excited, but still pretty calm and collected. Thanks for the good wishes! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 19:28, 1 June 2008 (EDT)
      • Congrats and good luck buddy.--Bob (talk) 19:32, 1 June 2008 (EDT)
  • Oscar was born early this morning at 3:26. 6 pounds 11 ounces, 19 inches long. 4 weeks early. Mom is doing well, Oscar is in the NICU having a hard time breathing. He'll be fine soon. Thanks y'all! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 13:39, 2 June 2008 (EDT)
    • 26 is my lucky number, so you should rename Oscar "DocM". --DocM 14:16, 2 June 2008 (EDT)

Hi

Hi Ryan

My name is Matej and I run Heroes fansite called Heroes Television ( http://www.heroestelevision.com/ )

Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi

Also, if you have any Heroes scoop/news that you think it might be something I could blog about, fell free to contact me - I will credit you.


Cheers!

  • Hey, Matej! Love your site! ... I've contacted you in the past through the contact form on your site, but I had trouble accessing it yesterday--it seemed to be down, or the link I had used in the past was dead. In any case, it would be much easier for me to contact you directly. Feel free to email me your information, and I'll keep you updated on any news I might have. My address is ryangibsonstewart at heroeswiki dot com.

    In the meantime, I recently interviewed Mark Sable about his work as a graphic novel writer with Heroes, especially his work on his latest novel set Faces. The interview can be found at this link: http://heroeswiki.com/Interview:Mark_Sable. Feel free to post at your site. Hope to hear from you soon! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 06:43, 3 June 2008 (EDT)

Artwork

Badower's part 1 artwork is up now at his blog, and he answers a couple questions at 9thwonders here.--MiamiVolts (talk) 19:43, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

Hall interview

Many, many thanks, Ryan. You might want to add it up top with Sable. Therequiembellishere 22:35, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

  • Thanks go to MiamiVolts who transcribed half the thing...We're going to wait until the other half is done to publicize it and link to it...but feel free to read and enjoy the second half of it! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:42, 8 June 2008 (EDT)

Sabine

  • Did they ever make it clear that it was in fact Julian that was her significant other? I got the impression that it was actually the Hartsdale duplicate the entire time... or at least that it wasn't yet clear which one she was actually with. (Admin 00:54, 10 June 2008 (EDT))
    • Right, it was the Hartsdale guy, the one she killed, right? Isn't that what I put? -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:55, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
      • The link text says Julian, but the link is actually to the Hartsdale duplicate. I dont know if that was intentional or not, but seems ok to me either way. I didnt notice it linked to the duplicate's article until after I left you the message. (Admin 00:56, 10 June 2008 (EDT))
        • Doesn't matter to me either way. I just thought it was an appropriate way to link to the right guy, but to have it appear incorrect, sort of mirroring the way that Sabine thought it was one guy but it was really another. We can make it more clear if you want, I just thought it was kind of sly. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:58, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
          • Yeah, I don't mind it either. All I cared about was that it linked to the right article which it does. :) (Admin 00:59, 10 June 2008 (EDT))

The new Linderman

  • I saw your comment: evsdropr is the new Linderman: the man behind the curtain pulling all the strings... indeed, it does seem that evsdropr gets around. I dunno if it's a man, though... :)--MiamiVolts (talk) 02:53, 10 June 2008 (EDT)

OMG I'm so gelous!

You are now part of heroes! I would LOVE to help out a artist/writer so mutch! If you ever know enyone who wants some help then I would LOVE to do it, thanks --Skywalkerrbf 11:30, 10 June 2008 (EDT)

  • Check out Jason's blog and the blogs of the other graphic novel artists, then. Sometimes they give shout-outs to those that help them.--MiamiVolts (talk) 11:33, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
  • Yeah, Jason's a good guy. We met up for lunch in NYC last year, and we write a lot and help each other with various Heroes-related tasks. Jason's really generous with the shout outs, isn't he! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 12:49, 10 June 2008 (EDT)

Interviews

Hey Ryan! Do you remember when you said to me you could give me a hand with phone interviews, like, software and stuff? Well, I'm probably going to have an interview with Javier Grillo-Marxuach, and I kinda need a hand... would you be able to help? Thanks!--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  11:36, 10 June 2008 (EDT)

  • Sure! (And I can't wait for the interview--good score!) I use FreeConferenceCall. It's a completely free service you can sign up for, no strings attached. After you sign up, you'll get a phone number. It's based in America, but I believe you can use a calling card or even just dial the number, albeit with extra prefix numbers. I'm not sure about calling from England (that's where you are, right?), but I know Jason Badower used the service in Australia with minimal problems. Anyway, when you sign up for the service, you get a phone number. It's not a toll free number, so it's considered a long distance call...but I have free long distance at home and it doesn't cost anything to call long distance on my cell phone either, so it wasn't an issue for me. But you work out a time that you and Javier both call the number. You'll also have to give Javier the access number. There's other minor stuff you'll have to do once you get the phone number, like dial a passcode, an access number, and a code to start recording, but it's pretty user-friendly. If you'd like, you and I can do a practice call. Email me at ryangibsonstewart at heroeswiki dot com, and I'd be more than willing to do a run through with you. Anything for a good interview with a Lost producer! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 12:56, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
    • So you call it from your own cell? And it records the convo? Sounds great! Is it easy to set up and things? :)--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  13:42, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
      • I think that's three yeses. And afterwards, you can either listen to the recording by calling in or download it as a .wav file. I recommend downloading it and playing it back in an audio editor such as Audacity (which is free). Some of the recording may not be clear and so it may take you listening to it a few times to understand it when transcribing. Also, most audio editors let you select a small portion of the file for repeated playback.--MiamiVolts (talk) 13:48, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
        • Yeah, very easy. (Thanks for the good advice, Miami.) You don't have to use your cell phone, though--any phone will do. And not that you need it for this interview, but you can actually have a whole bunch of people on the line at a time. Also, you do have to tell the system (using a code) to record the conversation--it doesn't do it automatically. But the whole thing is very user-friendly--start an account and go from there. If you need more help or want to do a practice call, let me know. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 14:47, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
          • Would he be able to call me (so he gets charged and not me), and I still record it and get it on my computer? I don't really get that part... Thanks again for your help, both of you!--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  15:04, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
            • No. You both call the service. It will cost you both the cost of a long distance call, whatever that may be for you. The service records the call. Then you download the recording. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 15:06, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
              • Think of it rather like a private "party" line, heh. Except that it has a recording feature. You both have to call a third party so that party (the computer) can do the recording for you.--MiamiVolts (talk) 15:10, 10 June 2008 (EDT)

hmm

Edit summary: "(update with links, rmv ass tracker stuff (or at least keep it to a minimum))"

"ass tracker?" I don't know what kind of wiki you think this is, Ryan. ;) Hope things are well with Oscar. I check your wife's blog from time to time for updates. (Admin 22:41, 10 June 2008 (EDT))

  • Oh, dude, I must have been editing the wrong wiki! Whoops! :) Yeah, Oscar's doing great! He'll be coming home on Thursday, thank goodness! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 22:44, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
    • That's fantastic. I'm sure the whole family is excited. :) (Admin 22:49, 10 June 2008 (EDT))
  • Heh, I think the 3-letter PC abbreviation is "asn". ;)--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:10, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
    • Oh, but it's so much more fun to say "I killed a rogue duplicate on a really dangerous ass!" -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:14, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
      • True, but that ass might then have four legs, turn around, and bite you. LOL.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:17, 10 June 2008 (EDT)

Backlogs and stuff I dont want to touch

I got more of them--SacValleyDweller (talk) 16:01, 11 June 2008 (EDT)

The Fries

OK! Tasty stuff. You didn't get an answer on the date if the 2008 was a slip up, did you? --SacValleyDweller (talk) 00:39, 12 June 2008 (EDT)

  • Nope. I can't remember why I didn't ask it...but there was a lot to ask, so some things fall to the wayside... Sorry! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 00:40, 12 June 2008 (EDT)
    • That's ok. :) I smell a plot hole, though. :( Although, personally, I only consider what's in the black on this page to be canon.--SacValleyDweller (talk) 01:08, 12 June 2008 (EDT)

That message title still cracks me up! What was the inspiration for it?--SacValleyDweller (talk) 17:38, 12 June 2008 (EDT)

Uncategorized pages

It seems to me like all the uncategorized pages all have categories assigned to them.. am I missing something? -- Friskymuffin (talk) 18:12, 12 June 2008 (EDT)

Stunts and partnerships

Did you mean to comment out Tony Donno from Template:Stunts? Also, can you look at User:MiamiVolts/List of Company Partnerships and add your feedback? Except for a few pics, I think it's ready to move to the mainspace.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:29, 12 June 2008 (EDT)

  • All red links on the stunts template were commented out so we don't look like Red Square. I fixed it--thanks! I'll leave my comments on discussion page. I'll also grab those pics for you if you want... -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:36, 12 June 2008 (EDT)
    • If you could grab those 3 screenshots, that'd be great. A better shot of Mohinder with Elle (maybe from Powerless?) would be good too. I'll try and switch it to use wikitable format now.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:48, 12 June 2008 (EDT)
      • Thanks for fixing the images. If you're still up; go ahead and take another look.--MiamiVolts (talk) 01:31, 13 June 2008 (EDT)
        • If it's okay, can you move the partnerships' page? I think the current page needs to be deleted to make way for the move.--MiamiVolts (talk) 18:48, 13 June 2008 (EDT)
          • I was going to try to blank the page so that it would preserve the history, but I still had to delete it. I think there's a way to merge it or something (I remember we did something like that with Peter vs. Sylar, I think) but I forget now, and it's not that important I guess... -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 19:07, 13 June 2008 (EDT)
            • We could have blanked the mainspace page, then manually copied the userpage and pasted it into the edit box for the mainspace one, but I think a move was cleaner since it's a different format and there wasn't that much history yet (it is still a rather new article).--MiamiVolts (talk) 15:26, 14 June 2008 (EDT)

Show later

Haha oh wow--Citizen 12:02, 14 June 2008 (EDT)

  • Yeah, it works pretty nicely and it helps so that we don't have to remember to update things. I'm all about easy maintenance! -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 13:47, 14 June 2008 (EDT)

Happy Father's Day

Hope you had a good father's day at camp.--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:22, 15 June 2008 (EDT)

  • Thanks, Miami! Yeah, I did (it was the first day of camp). It was funny--this morning my wife brought me breakfast in bed, a huge basket of gifts...and a baby with a dirty diaper. Ahh, fatherhood! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 23:28, 15 June 2008 (EDT)

Spelling

Does every spelling on the site have to be the "americanized" version because the site is American? If so, that's fine, you'll just have to excuse me if I put any "english" spellings in instead! (tyres, grey etc.) -- Friskymuffin - (talk) 11:22, 17 June 2008 (EDT)

  • When it comes to article names, yes. When it comes to text within an article I'd recommend trying to keep it in American English, but if you forget I'm sure someone will change it later. :) (Admin 11:27, 17 June 2008 (EDT))
    • It's really more a matter of standardization than because the site is hosted in America. We just need to be consistent. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 20:30, 17 June 2008 (EDT)
      • I think it's because the show is American. The HP Wiki is American hosted but a British book and Commonwealth spelling is used. Therequiembellishere 18:08, 19 June 2008 (EDT)

IMDbPro?

Hey Ryan! I was just wondering if you had access to IMDbPro? It's an excellent resource, and is a great way of getting contact details for Heroes people. As you may or may not know, I've been doing interviews for Lostpedia, and have reached many of the main cast of that show through IMDbPro. If you like, I could get some details for you? Thanks,--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  11:26, 19 June 2008 (EDT)

  • Does it have contact information for Cristine Rose? There's been some interest in getting an interview with her. By the way, great job bringing the interviews to Lostpedia. I'm pleased to see that they were warmly welcomed there. (Admin 11:30, 19 June 2008 (EDT))
    • Unfortunately not. However, I can work on getting a list together for you, which I can then email to Ryan?--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  15:11, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
      • If you're looking to contact actors/directors, there's another way to go besides IMDb. Try checking for their talent agent/agency at the Association of Talent Agents (ATA) website. Cristine Rose's agent's information is there...--MiamiVolts (talk) 15:28, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
        • Hmmm, I did that before too. But, think that IMDb is better. Cheers for the tip. :)--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  15:46, 19 June 2008 (EDT)
          • I don't have access to IMDbPro, but from what I've seen of it, it would be an excellent resource. I have Chrstine Rose's contact info (well, I have contact info for her PR person). I was asked to contact Christine a little closer to September, which I will most likely do. I would love it if you sent me a list, Lost Soul. My email address is ryangibsonstewart at heroeswiki dot com. By the way, excellent interviews you've done at lostpedia! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 09:22, 21 June 2008 (EDT)
            • Thank you very much! I sent you a reply email - my free trial for IMDbPro only lasts till Wednesday, so I want to make use of it! :)--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  03:27, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
              • Thanks, LS. The stuff you sent me is terrific, and I can't wait to dig through it at the end of the summer.... Good luck with your Lost interviews--and don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 09:52, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
                • That's alright - anything to help. As I asked in my email, would you like me to contact some people for you, and then forward anyone who replies to you? If not, then that's fine - I don't want to step on your toes, by any means! - but I'd be happy to help. :)--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  11:08, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
                  • Feel free. I don't have anybody in mind particularly (the majority of my interviews just sort of seem to happen, rather than being the result of a lot of pursuing and chasing people down), but if you'd like to contact some people for me, feel free. And there's certainly no reason why I need to do all the interviews. I read your interview with David Fury and thought it was terrific. You should certainly feel free to conduct a Heroes interview if you'd like! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 16:05, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
                    • Are you sure? Because I'll only do it if you're absolutely certain it's okay - you've always been the one who does the interviews, and I really don't want to encroach on your territory in any way. I will send a few emails, though, and keep them updated. I'll also email you the copy of the email I will send - I tend to use the same basic framework, and only change the names. Oh, and thank you for your comments, I appreciate it! Thanks so much, Ryan!--  Lost Soul   talk  contribs  16:45, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
                      • Absolutely sure. I think it'd be good to have more voices than just mine out there. Plus, I tend to interview people who interest me the most, so it'd be nice to have some interviews in other areas to be a little more well-rounded. And please use me as much as you need for help, advice, etc. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 15:46, 23 June 2008 (EDT)

Campmaster

So how long is camp for this summer?--MiamiVolts (talk) 12:34, 21 June 2008 (EDT)

Interview a colorist?

Just out of curiosity, has that ever crossed your mind? --SacValleyDweller (talk) 14:32, 24 June 2008 (EDT)

New stuff

CBR one-shot finally came out! And Jason Badower wrote on his blog about his set visit last Friday to the Heroes lot. Lots of good reading and a few spoilers. :)--MiamiVolts (talk) 04:20, 2 July 2008 (EDT)

  • Thanks for keeping me in the loop and letting me know of good updates. I'll go check them both out now... -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 10:16, 2 July 2008 (EDT)

Peter Steigerweld

Ryan, it's 12, not 10. You know what I mean. I'm refraining from saying more for those avoiding spoilers. :)--MiamiVolts (talk) 00:39, 3 July 2008 (EDT)

New York

Hey Ryan, I'm heading out to Times Square in New York for a few days in a couple of weeks, so if any articles on the wiki need images or info from there, I could get some? Just thought I'd suggest it to you in case you thought we needed anything. -- Friskymuffin - (talk) 12:10, 4 July 2008 (EDT)

GNs

J. Levy

Any guesses as to whom J. Levy is? In the Behind the Scenes video, J. is listed along with Yule Caise on the clapper used for beginning film sequences. I would think maybe the cinematographer. Do you know?--MiamiVolts (talk) 00:35, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

Interviews

I have already got my first 1!!!!! Its the Convenience store robber from season 1, I just need to think of some questions now lol. --Skywalkerrbf 11:39, 14 July 2008 (EDT)

  • Congratulations! ... Yeah, thinking of enough content for the interview is the trouble with interviewing actors who play smalller roles. But getting the actors who play bigger roles is sometimes challenging because they're not as available. *sigh* One idea I had for later on after the summer is to email a few questions to lots of the actors who play minor roles (I have had email exchanges with somewhere between 20 and 40, I think) and see what they have to say, and then compiling all their responses in one interview. It would eliminate the need to come up with enough questions to fill an interview (without sounding like I'm stretching), and it would be an interesting read because it would have lots of different perspectives. Hmmm... -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 14:10, 14 July 2008 (EDT)
  • I got two more! Captain Baldwin and Lynette from the burnt toast diner. Lol this realy excites me! Yer I have done somthing similar. I plan to intervierview guest stars and work up, but i also think that the guest stars have some good things to say! I have a template for the interviews so the questions will be very similar for everyone. --Skywalkerrbf 16:28, 14 July 2008 (EDT)
    • No, I don't plan to have a bunch of interviews with guest stars, I plan to send a few questions to bunch of guest stars and compile them into one interview. Oh well. Congrats on scoring some interviews. Sally Champlin and I have exchanged a number of emails, and she asked me to do some work for her. Tell her I say hello! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 20:56, 14 July 2008 (EDT)
  • Yer shes realy nice, she seemed very keen. But lets say I just got someone a bit better than a guest star, lets just say hes a Supporting guy with a power, but I'll mkae it a suprize for you :). I also got my first rejection form Markus Flanagan but hey the other guy is off the hook! --Skywalkerrbf 03:08, 15 July 2008 (EDT)
  • Have you thought about a second interview with James Kyson Lee? I will get in contact with him if you don't want to but I think a phone interview will be better :) I do have 6 defo interviews! --Skywalkerrbf 18:17, 15 July 2008 (EDT)
    • No, I haven't thought about doing another interview with JKL. I personally don't see any point. Nice job on getting other interviews. -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 11:20, 17 July 2008 (EDT)
  • Hey, I have got interview with Yule Caise, who has written a graphic novel along with directing the webisdoes and sordsaint documentry, i thought you might be intrersted in submitting some questions? --Skywalkerrbf 07:17, 19 July 2008 (EDT)
    • Thanks. If I think of any and if I get a free moment, I'll certainly add some questions... -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 14:16, 21 July 2008 (EDT)
      • Thanks. By the qay you have really helped me on this website, thanks a lot. I am now up to 20 people agreeing to interviews and I couldn't of done it without you. I have people from just about every role there is and I hope that it will improve the site and keep people enertained over the summer. --Skywalkerrbf 14:41, 21 July 2008 (EDT)

kilohoku.com transcripts

Hi Ryan, do you have the contact info. for the maintainer of the kilohoku.com transcripts? The domain registration expired, so now the website is unaccessible. We're having a discussion regarding "posthuman" vs. "evolved human" on Talk:List of evolved humans, where it would be helpful to have access to the transcripts. Maybe you still have them offline and can add your input?--MiamiVolts (talk) 23:49, 27 July 2008 (EDT)

  • I do have contact info for the kilohoku transcriber. I also have all the transcripts from season one and two. What exactly do you want to know? -- RyanGibsonStewart (new comment) 12:08, 30 July 2008 (EDT)
    • Cool! Can you contact the transcriber and let him/her know the domain registration has expired? I'm trying to find out if the term "evolved human" has been mentioned in one of the episodes. Since we now have "posthuman" in one of the assignment tracker entries, there is discussion as to whether we should rename the category and related pages to use the new term "posthuman" instead.--MiamiVolts (talk) 07:04, 31 July 2008 (EDT)
