Logo Contest
Thanks for putting my logo in the contest ;-) --aurora glacialis 14:22, 15 April 2006 (PDT)
I didn't put it in myself earlier because I just today got the last episode downloaded and I usually don't want to visit lostpedia when a new episode is due since I want to see it without already knowing every detail ;-) --aurora glacialis 14:33, 15 April 2006 (PDT)
My additions and your deletions
Dude. What the hell? It's obvious that none of those pages are "canonical"... why did you go and delete my entries? I just found those sites today, and just found this wiki today and thought I'd add the info, since it wasn't on here already and might be useful to someone. What would you suggest I do instead??? -- BC 17:54, 26 April 2006 (PDT)
wasting time
Stop wasting time pissing around with moving that page back and forth. If you have a complaint about its content, then voice it. On the other hand, if this is all just a power trip, control freak thing, then at least admit it. After two days, 4 admins as well as the Admin have all been aware of the page and not yet voiced any reservations. In fact, several pages have already been moved by you guys in a way that supports what I put down. -- Lostpedian 07:36, 21 April 2006 (PDT)
- Or maybe it's more that no one really cares what you want to say when you constantly attack everyone who doesn't agree with you. --skks 07:42, 21 April 2006 (PDT)
- Skks, that's the problem... as far as I can see, no one disagrees with what I put in the Manual of Style. All I see is a clique of sysops who want to establish some sort of artificially oppressive control. -- Lostpedian 07:50, 21 April 2006 (PDT)
Look, professor, there's a very simple reason we don't have a manual of style, we haven't had a real need of one. We have done really well without one because we trust people to have common sense. Whenever they see the link is red, they either experiment or leave it for someone else to do it. And quite frankly, you're the only one picky enough to be bothered by the LOST word in the title. So we may or may not have a manual of style, well, there are other parts of the site you can work on, don't obsess with it, Cerebro. Play well with others, remember that, Grumpy Dwarf. †††GodEmperorOfHell††† --07:50, 21 April 2006 (PDT)
- A lot of people have common sense... but that doesn't mean that they can spontaneously and independently come to a consensus on things like this. We're maturing as a wiki, and now it is time to make things a little more consistent. Readers and editors will appreciate it. -- Lostpedian 07:56, 21 April 2006 (PDT)
The real objection is our not wanting to have iron clad regulations, we 've been successful because of that, the way things work and have worked so far is more free and relaxed, this month we have had a plethora of new users who are just interested in hitting the edit tab without any regard for style or whatsnot, of course there are going to be vandals and spammers, but to root them out is a sysop's work, maybe New User's edits are crude and misspelled, but Veteran user will clean it, link it and categorize it, IMHO putting all kinds of regulatory styles will make new users not want to try. New users are the greatest assets we will ever have and with Sawyer as my witness I say; let them come and let them goof it up. Go and work a litle in other parts of the wiki, I beg you, leave this matter rest for a while, It's teh weekend, for JJ Abrams' sake, You Brainy Smurf. †††GodEmperorOfHell††† --08:10, 21 April 2006 (PDT)
- "but Veteran user will clean it, link it and categorize it" - that's exactly what I am trying to do. As a Veteran user, I am perfectly willing to help clean up... but the problem comes when multiple Veteran users have a different idea about how pages should be named (with "Lost" or without, Upper or lowercase, etc). I've put together some guidelines, which I am willing to discuss. Unfortunately, your actions in moving/deleting/blocking are completely opposite that - you enforce your idea, which leads to conflict. -- Lostpedian 12:14, 21 April 2006 (PDT)
It had to be done. No problem. --skks 08:18, 24 April 2006 (PDT)
seen this?

might be a nice front page item. kaini 13:36, 23 April 2006 (PDT)
Cindy
I'm moving this page, Cindy, to the title "Cindy Chandler" because of this [1] which is a Hyperion site and thus canon. <<Novajoe23>> 18:33, 30 April 2006 (PDT)
23 apples of discord
not yet, but consider it bookmarked :P
just finished rereading illuminatus! actually... i'm halfway through The Third Policeman at the moment.
i think you would like it! besides the lost connection, it's a very good, surreal read. --kaini 20:16, 2 May 2006 (PDT)
The Lost Experience
Is this going to actually be canon? I thought the title "alternate reality game" meant that it was just a game and not actually part of the storyline. Is it canon and part of the TV show story or is it completely parallel? -- <<Novajoe23>> 16:41, 3 May 2006 (PDT)
Finale Spoilers?
Do you think it's safe to create pages based on spoilers for the season finale, such as Desmond's last name being "Cook"? There are some things with Widmore that are revealed in spoilers and stuff about Kelvin. -- <<Novajoe23>> 08:18, 5 May 2006 (PDT)

Off topic
So you found, The One True Portrait of Connie... then ended up fighting a vandal named "BOB" here. How is that for irony?--Isotope23 10:46, 11 May 2006 (PDT)

Vandalism?
I know this is pointless to ask, but since i'm new with the whole wikipedia editing... What exactly is "Vandalism"? Despite the fact that i know what the word itself means, I do not know what it means in wikipedia's terms. Could you please give me an example? Thanks! -- Nusentinsaino talk contribs email
