Heroes
I have your proof. Look at the damn photo for the page. It clearly shows Peter's hands on fire and Gabriel's hands chilling the surrounding air. Common sense is not outlawed on Wikipedia, though many people like to pretend it is. Did you see the episode in HD? It becomes even more clear. Should we write that we're unsure how Gabriel pulled Peter through the door? Are we sure it was phasing? What if he created a wormhole on each side of the door and used that? Can you prove he phased? --Billywhack 02:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Heroes, again
Re: whether or not the Haitian is deceased. My bad - if Mohinder talks about killing him, then fair enough. Apologies for not catching that, and thanks for being so good-natured about it! (As you said, we have worked well together. Cheers!) --Ckatz chat spy  01:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm here, calm down, gimme a minute to have a look. DS 15:32, 6 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Blah. I have no idea what you did wrong, but it took a few minutes to clean up a) your mess, and b) the mess of the guy who came in immediately after you. Anyway, it's fixed. Did you read the instructions carefully, "subst" and all that? DS 15:43, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Firewallmystery2.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Firewallmystery2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Sylar image
Hello... sorry it took a few days to get back to you. I'll see what I can do with regards to the image. (I haven't done a lot of image declarations, but it is about time to learn...) Cheers. --Ckatz chat spy  07:54, 20 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hopefully it will be OK now. I've reworked an existing declaration from a promotional image used on the Kiefer Sutherland page. Please let me know what you think. --Ckatz chat spy  08:04, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

The Egg Song I like this song. Some people call me weird for it, though.

Dposse - you may wish to check out this issue regarding television episode articles. I've filed an AN/I report on it, but it may be a difficult slog. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. --Ckatz chat spy  18:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Noticed that no-one had answered your question on the talkpage for Daniel Radcliffe. I'm guessing nobody has the answer. I just felt like checking out your userpage from the link in the article. I see you use Mozilla, it sucks but okay. If you want to learn a progamming language, learn C#.

Kent FAC
Hi. I'm sorry to bother you, but as a LoCE member, I just wondered if you would be willing to have a look through the Kent article. It is currently a Featured Article Candidate and needs a copy-edit for grammar by someone who hasn't yet seen it. Any other ways to improve the article would also be welcome. Thank you very much, if you can. Epbr123 21:02, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Adultswim-logo1.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Adultswim-logo1.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk  00:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Nevermore
Hello! Over a year and a half ago, you brought up some good discussion on the talk page for "The Raven." The article has changed quite a bit since then and was recently granted good article status! Anyway, if you're a big fan of the poem or Poe in general, I'm trying to spark interest in the Edgar Allan Poe Portal. Just thought I'd extend the offer. Thanks! --Midnightdreary 14:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Tim Kring on G4tv
thanks for writing. I know what you mean about there not being a lot of citations out there yet, but that's mostly because while the strike might be likely. it isn't for sure yet. Furthermore, what Kring is doing is speculating himself as to the fate of the season if the strike happens. Now, normally Kring is the very best kind of noteworthy that we need to include his updates. However, since Kring doesn't know about the fate of the series (the strike being outside his sphere of control) it diminishes the reliability of his statements that speak to specifically that. It's essentially a 'what if?' scenario that is too shaky for us to consider including until something more definite is announced. There really isn't a hurry, as we are not tasked to be Johnny On the Spot. We just need to have rock solid info. If that means we need to wait to hear from NMC or the Writer's Guild, then so be it. Also note that we cannot tie a statement from the Writer's Guild about striking to Heroes unless we have a citation that speaks specifically to the series; otherwise, its OR by synthesis. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  15:29, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is Kring's show, but it isn't Kring's network, or Kring's writing guild. A solution could present itself at the 11th hour, resolving hte issues and avert a strike. origins might have to wait a while, but it wouldn't interfere with the main series. Kring is not a reliable source on the strike, and neither is his speculation on how it will affect his series. He just isn't a reliable source on that subject. His show isn't derailed yet. When it is, then those comments become a fulfilled prophecy, which can then be added.
 * I don't humor people, Dposse, as i think it's patronizing to do so. I either help, or I don't. As you seem to be a genuinely helpful guy, I did look around, and couldn't find a transcript or a solid enough citation to give to you. That I couldn't find one isn't unusual, as I am not the James Bond of research. That one wasn't readily apparent tells me that not enough info is on hand to add info to the article as of yet. You could email G4 themselves and ask for a transcript. Even better, you could have them tell you where one is online, so you can cite the location. -  Arcayne   (cast a spell)  15:54, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I know you are. We're aces. :) - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  16:02, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If you find it, post it on the discussion page. I am all for consensus, and you now have the advantage of knowing that I don't think we should be using it at this time, so you can construct your post accordingly. I am but one voice, and it counts no more than yours, D. this is what that whole politeness thing is all about. :) - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  16:15, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

why i removed origins
you really have to pay attention to the flow of the overall page. i have not removed origins. it have been mopved to a different section of the article. if you scroll down the heroes page, you will notice that it is under the section of television. since origins has been postponed, it is not a part of the storyline or plot as of yet. i am sure when nbc brings the series back it will relate more to the series, but right now, it is in the section entitled television. by you placing it under plot, you have actually placed the exact same section Twice on the page. now, it is under plot and under television. origins has not been removed from the page. it has been moved to a different section on the same page —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chrisisinchrist (talk • contribs) 17:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The original change to move heroes origins was not mine. Someone reorganized the page and including Heroes origins in a new section of the main page, entitled television.  it makes mroe sense that way.  Origins is not significant to the plot, so why would it go under plot.  Like i said, i didnt make the original change, but i agree with the person who made it.  The plot section is the section designated to what is happening in the current plot summary of the story, not future projects which have been shelved.   if you feel like the origins section should remain in the plot summary page, you discuss it on the talk page...but like i said, i didnt make the original change...i just feel like it doesnt make sense for their to be two sections on origins on the same page.  why wouldnt it go under television section?  origins is not significant to the plot summary.  it hasnt been proven that it is.--Chrisisinchrist 17:34, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I am going to discuss this on the talk page, because this is pointless. also, heroes origins is not a backstory show. the plot of the show is to introduce two characters per episode and give a story about those characters. the characters are new characters and not ones that we have seen on the show before. you can find more information on this at the 9th wonder page. but just so you know, the characters from the heroes show will not be featured in the series. tim kring has stated that they may make appearances and cameos only.--Chrisisinchrist 17:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Mitchell Report List article
Hey. Sorry if I came across as contentious. I was very concerned at the beginning when names were being added to the list in a haphazard fashion. I guess I got a little defensive with all the counter-arguments coming at me. After stepping back, it looks like we have enough editors now to make sure that information from the report is used responsibly. I'll mea culpa on the talk page, too. --Elliskev 22:02, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

order on talk
Hi.

You inserted your comments on the Mitchell Report out of order. Please don't do that. It makes me look like a fool, as if I am commenting on something that wasn't the topic. Also, you inserted an incorrect (") at the beginning of my comment. the best, -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 00:34, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

peer review
I was wondering if you could take some time out of your schedule to head over to the Heroes (TV series) talkpage and give us an honest peer review. The page has gone through some major changes in the last few months, and it would be fantastic if a prominent editor/contributor like yourself, could head over and give us at the Heroes Wikiproject some sound opinion and ideas on improvements for the page. We have all worked very hard at improving the page, and we need great outside, reliable and trustworthy users to come over and help us improve. I you are interested in joining the peer review discussion with other prominent users/contributors, much like yourself, please follow the link. Thank you very much for your help and your continued effort to improve Wikipedia and its quality! Peer review/Heroes (TV series)/archive2--Chrisisinchrist (talk) 05:47, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * everyones's review counts!!! Including yours!  Your review is really important because you are a member of the heroes wikiproject and you are one of only a few active members in the heroes wikiproject.  I hope you change your mind.  You may find mistakes and areas that need improvement that another editor may not find.  everyone is important in this peer review section.  you have made several great contributions to the overall heroes pages and it would be great if you could come and add some of your thoughts.--Chrisisinchrist (talk) 04:56, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Asf2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Asf2.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

I was just looking for news sources on the item recently too, and they all just seem to have tidbits of information. I haven't seen any article with relevant non-trivial information on it.
