Edit conflicts tip

If you get an edit conflict when you try and edit a talk page, it's best to just copy your comment and paste it where it belongs. If you copy the whole page, you need to be careful not to erase someone else's comments.—MiamiVolts (talk) 20:14, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

• Sorry about that; I didn't even realize I did it. I didn't recopy the whole page though or notice an edit conflict when I previewed/submitted it, so I'm not sure what happened (it seems I accidentally erased someone's vote on the split/no split?). Again, sorry about that. Stevehim 20:20, 30 September 2008 (EDT)
  • Yeah, you erased mine... and shortly before that Piemanmoo erased an earlier comment I had made. Though unlikely, I guess it could be network lag. It's odd that it wouldn't show as an edit conflict and that two people would erase my comments in so short a time, but weirder things have happened... BTW, you can reply on your own talk page if I place a message here (no need to reply on mine).—MiamiVolts (talk) 20:28, 30 September 2008 (EDT)
    • I assure you I didn't mean to at all. Again, sorry about that. Stevehim 21:24, 30 September 2008 (EDT)
      • No problem.—MiamiVolts (talk) 21:39, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

Peter exposed

Hi. I posted this in the Peterexposed discussion, but I also wanted to pose it directly, since you made the switch, and I'm not sure anyone will respond (I hope that's ok...?):

I think Clairsentience should be listed, as Sylar was likely with radius of Peter (based on a comparison of his distance to DL, Micah, and Molly), even though he wasn't actually in the bank. There's nothing to indicate that walls interfere with Peter's ability. Stevehim 23:06, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

• It's more speculative to try to figure out where Sylar was than to remove it. For a long time, we left off phasing and technopathy because we didn't know how far his range was, but when he demonstrated it in Lizards, then we listed it. It's better to not speculate than to fix something later.—Bob (talk) 10:49, 4 October 2008 (EDT)

Hey

• Thanx for letting me know. It's ok, do whatever you want :) — Futurepeter 14:32, 6 October 2008 (EDT)

RE: Regarding Future Characters

• I know that it's a fact that we call him "Knox". But we don't call Gabriel, Sylar there. And Noah Bennet is not called "HRG". So that's why i wanted to call Knox, Benjamin Washington, it seems more suitable that way but i could be wrong. I won't debate with you on that but if you 100% think it should stay that way it's ok with me, i just think it's more suitable if we use Knox his full name. Thanx!

I would say that Gabriel is a special case because, while the other future characters due refer to him as Sylar, he makes a point (and with a good reason) of why he wants to be called Gabriel, and it fits with the character he's become there. HRG is only known as that outside the show; inside he's referred to as Noah (or the man with the HRG, but convention says we go with Noah). I have no problem discussing the (or any) issue, to figure out what the best plan of action is, and I don't think my opinion should prevail over yours. I tried to start a discussion on it (but misplaced it...it's on the Knox (exposed future) page), so maybe we should try and get some other opinions. Stevehim 10:53, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

We'll leave it like this, if other people have the same opinion as mine then we'll call it "Benjamin Washington" if not then it stays "Knox". Thanx —Futurepeter 11:00, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

RE: Eden

I agree with your point. However, Sylar32 went and added the same line to pretty much every other article. Do you think they should be reverted? —Matchu 13:39, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

• Heh, I didn't even notice that. I just went and changed them all back, since Bob did the first one. I guess reverting would've been easier. Stevehim 13:40, 11 October 2008 (EDT)
  • Alright, fair enough. Thanks —Matchu 13:43, 11 October 2008 (EDT)

Patroller

Hey, Steve. 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! By the way, I'll take a look at the stuff you wanted me to check out later on tonight. Thanks for the reminder! — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 10:44, 20 October 2008 (EDT)

• Great! Take a look at Heroes Wiki:Patrollers and read some of the 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. Congrats! :) — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:07, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
  • Congrats on making patroller, Stevehim! Also, if you have questions and Ryan is not around you can post them to Heroes Wiki talk:Patrollers and another patroller or administrator can try to answer them.—MiamiVolts (talk) 16:00, 20 October 2008 (EDT)

Sig

Did you forget your sig when adding to Help talk:Naming conventions?—MiamiVolts (talk) 02:12, 28 November 2008 (EST)

• D'oh! I did. I actually typed the response on the lightning talk page and then, when I realized it was more about canonicty, I cut&pasted it to the appropriate page. I guess my sig didn't make the trip. Thanks for the heads up.  :) —Stevehim 02:31, 28 November 2008 (EST)

Consensus

• "However, as I said, I don't want to stand in the way of what most of the site wants so, not meaning to put undue pressure on them, if the other dissenters can be convinced, I will go along as well." That's a very mature and appreciated position to take and is one of the core principles of consensus. It doesn't require everyone to fully agree as long as people with different views "agree to disagree" and are willing to at least not oppose the change (even if they don't agree with it). Likewise I feel it's important for each one to convey their views so that everyone is able to build their own opinions using others' ideas as an aid. It's out of constructive discussions like the one you engaged in that it becomes possible to construct effective policies that help guide future discussions. So, thank you again. :) (Admin 13:22, 3 December 2008 (EST))
  • Thank you.  :$ —Stevehim 15:12, 3 December 2008 (EST)
