Sig and archiving

Hey Irony, cool signature box! Also, I left a note for you on Ryan's page about archiving. If you need help with the formatting, let me know (though I think you're okay for now).--MiamiVolts (talk) 13:58, 6 February 2009 (EST)

• I'm fine, I just saw a note about it on a userpage. Thanks for the signature comment. Also ... Yay! You left the first message. Thank you!--IronyUTC CH 14:00, 6 February 2009 (EST)
  • Oops, don't forget to add your signature w/ timestamp to your talk page comments.--MiamiVolts (talk) 14:05, 6 February 2009 (EST)
    • Oh, where did I do that, I don't normally --IronyUTC CH 14:31, 6 February 2009 (EST)
      • I just added it for you for your reply to my comment about your signature.--MiamiVolts (talk) 14:43, 6 February 2009 (EST)
        • Oh! Thanks for that, what would I do without you. (Probably forget to add my signatures but...) --IronyUTC CH 15:28, 6 February 2009 (EST)

If you have an account there, reply what is your username there and I'll drop you a message there as well. :)--MiamiVolts (talk) 14:05, 6 February 2009 (EST)

• Sorry, no account there :( --IronyUTC CH 14:31, 6 February 2009 (EST)
  • Ah, that's okay. I also have accounts as MiamiVolts at 9th Wonders and IMDb.--MiamiVolts (talk) 14:44, 6 February 2009 (EST)**
    • If I ever get one, I'll add you first --IronyUTC CH 15:28, 6 February 2009 (EST)

Quotes

• Part of consensus is not only that everybody agrees, but that nobody disagrees. Not commenting on a page that should pretty much be watched by everybody and that has been bumped a sufficient number of times--well that to me implies that nobody's opposed, otherwise they would have commented. I think you're fine to go ahead with the proposal. If you need help, let me know. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:06, 2 March 2009 (EST)
  • Thanks, I will see if I can do it myself, I've had a slump in homework. Thanks, i'll ask if anything is wrong. :) --IronyUTC CH 13:47, 2 March 2009 (EST)
    • I have made a draft for sylar season 1 here, it is just a test of formatting (not categories and such), I prefer the top layout more, but if it is inkeeping it should be the bottom one. --IronyUTC CH 15:55, 2 March 2009 (EST)
      • Hi, I was just wondering will the quotes be one per episode or are you picking out the best ones you think and people will be able to add more? --posted by Laughingdevilboy

Talk 16:00, 2 March 2009 (EST)

• • • • • Definately not one per episode (for example Sylar had loads in Dual) but in timw, when everything is set up people should be able to add there own one, I really need conformation from Ryan on what he likes best really. (Thanks for taking intrest, it's nice to feel appreciated) --IronyUTC CH 16:02, 2 March 2009 (EST)
          • No problem, I think it's a great idea, it means we wont have people fighting over what quotes can go on a page, they can all go on. Can't wait to see the finished article :) --posted by Laughingdevilboy

Talk 16:18, 2 March 2009 (EST)

• • • • • • • I think it's been coming for a long time, but it's worth it. --IronyUTC CH 11:50, 3 March 2009 (EST)

No point adding a new section when it's right here, but really nice work on setting up the character's quote pages. Even if you aren't finished yet. --Steely McBeam - (talk) 11:38, 7 March 2009 (EST)

• Thanks a lot, It's really hard work. By the way do you want help fixing your sig, I'm not great at coding but I could try. :) (P.S congrats on 4000th article.) --IronyUTC CH 11:45, 7 March 2009 (EST)
  • Your welcome, signatures fixed as you can see, I might go have a look at a few eps to find a few quotes, fill up the pages a little.--Steely McBeam - (talk) 12:07, 7 March 2009 (EST)
    • If you could find a few it would be great, for some (basically the whole of season two) there are none, thanks! --IronyUTC CH 12:10, 7 March 2009 (EST)
  • The pages look really good. A few notes:
    1. Each page needs an introductory line. Something like "The following memorable quotes were said by Sylar in Season One." should be fine.
    2. The names of the pages seem odd to me. Should it be "Sylar/Memorable quotes from Season One"? Or "Sylar/Season One memorable quotes"? And really, we might want to think about listing all of Sylar's most memorable quotes--regardless of season--on one page. Then we could just call the page "List of memorable quotes from Sylar" or something a little more straightforward like that.
    3. There doesn't need to be a heading on each page that says "Sylar". In fact, if we put all the quotes from one person (regardless of season) on one page, then the headings should be "Season One", "Season Two", etc.
    4. Template:MQ will need to be updated once the titles of the pages are decided.
  • Great job! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:56, 7 March 2009 (EST)
• Thanks, hope I helped :) --IronyUTC CH 16:45, 7 March 2009 (EST)
  • Eh, we deal with them one at a time. It's the old "How do you eat an elephant?" adage. I don't think it matters too much if Sylar's quote page gets too long. We have pages that are much longer with little or no consequence. If you need help with template:MQ, let me know. It means that there will need to be some #ifexist: code added since the template is used on pages that don't have--and shouldn't have--MQ subpages. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:42, 7 March 2009 (EST)
    • O.k, sorry, are we merging the pages then? I will do it but I don't want to if you don't want me to (if that made any sense) :) --IronyUTC CH 18:09, 7 March 2009 (EST)
      • Yeah, I think it's probably a good idea to merge quotes from separate seasons, and then separate the seasons with heading, but on one page. Then the title of the articles should probably change to be something simpler. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:15, 7 March 2009 (EST)
    • Um, so is Sylar/Memorable quotes O.K then? --IronyUTC CH 09:01, 8 March 2009 (EDT)
    • Thanks :). Now I know what it is like to be a patroller, I do't know how you guys cope with the edits!
    1. I will do the introductory lines tommorrow, really goo I deal, me being stupid really.
    2. I think having them all on one page is a good idea, but some page (I'm thinking Sylar, who has amazing quotes every episode) will get excessively long. But I think this is a good idea, if we do merge them it is easy to name, just Sylar/Memorable Quotes.
    3. To bo honest, there wasn't supposed to be a heading, I was bulk coping and some of them might have got caught up, my bad.
    4. I will do Templat MQ as well :)

      • Yeah, that's fine. Cool signature, by the way! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:58, 8 March 2009 (EDT)
    • Thanks, I'm going to do that now. --IronyUTC CH 16:03, 8 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Hey, I've completed tasks 1,2 and 3. You will probably have to do 4, I'm rubbish at coding. Is everything O.K with them? --IronyUTC CH 17:10, 8 March 2009 (EDT)
    • They look great. There needs to be a bolded word in the lead sentence, though. It should look like this: "The following memorable quotes were said by Sylar." I think I might actually make a template for the header to make it easier. I'll also update template:MQ. Thanks for all your work, Irony! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:40, 8 March 2009 (EDT)
      • Okay, use {{MQ header}}. See here for an example. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 18:54, 8 March 2009 (EDT)#
        • I glad everything is working Okay, if anything is wrong, just tell me. :) Happy to help :) --IronyUTC CH 12:21, 9 March 2009 (EDT)

Patrolling

Hey, Irony. How would you like to be a patroller here? Take a look at Heroes Wiki:Patrollers and see if it's something you'd like to do. If so, reply back to my talk page. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:52, 11 March 2009 (EDT)

• Hey mate congrats on becoming one, I already thought you were one. Oh well no harm done, again congrats.--Steely McBeam - (talk) 12:43, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
• Irony, I've added you to the patrollers group. Welcome! :) (Admin 12:47, 12 March 2009 (EDT))
  • Thanks for adding me, I hope to help. Do I need to add myself to the patrollers page? --IronyUTC CH 12:49, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
    • Thanks, I also thought you were already one too :) I also think you deserve it.--posted by Laughingdevilboy

Talk 13:09, 12 March 2009 (EDT)

• • To be honest, I thought you were one :) --IronyUTC CH 13:11, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
    • Ha ha, since we have been promoted at the same time, we can help each other out :) --posted by Laughingdevilboy

Talk 13:14, 12 March 2009 (EDT)

• Looks like Admin added you earlier today. Awesome--thanks Admin! Heroes Wiki:Patrollers has great tips, etc. Don't forget to add your name to the page. Try patrolling some unpatrolled edits. Let me know if you have any questions. If I'm not around, feel free to ask one of the patrollers who has been doing it a bit longer, or leave a message at Heroes Wiki talk:Patrollers (which is a page I suggest you add to your watchlist). Congrats! :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:30, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
  • O.K, I have added it, I've patrolled at few edits, I think it worked. Thanks for the opportunity. --IronyUTC CH 15:36, 12 March 2009 (EDT)

You said if I had any questions so here it is

How do you spell sandbox?--Steely McBeam - (talk) 14:40, 12 March 2009 (EDT)

• I am pretty sure the way you spelt it, not 100% sure though. Hope I helped :)--IronyUTC CH 14:43, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
• Yeah you did help, just asking cause you spelt it wrong on your user page. Had to have a crack :)--Steely McBeam - (talk) 14:45, 12 March 2009 (EDT)

Don't worry, I'm completely like that, already fixed it though :) --IronyUTC CH 14:46, 12 March 2009 (EDT)
