[edit] Help Wanted

Just wondering whether you have 24: The Game and have played it through to the "Through The Agency" mission, because if you have, could you please look on the floor of the 'agency' as you walk in the building and see what it says and what logo it is, as I made a page on the National Intelligence Agency, which is what it says in the Australian version, but I saw a screen-shot of it and it had the CTU logo. Please help!!! BillBuchanan24 00:54, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

If you think I'm an asshole for posting a clearly valid comment then perhaps you shouldn't be contributing to an encyclopedia. I see you didn't change it yourself... --24 Administration 15:47, 29 July 2006 (UTC) Kouri arrives at Union Station, still being tailed by Assad. Kouri calls Fayed telling him the train didn't arrive and that smoke is visible four blocks away. Fayed tells him it doesn't matter since their other attacks were successful.

That's because I was joking. You went on the defensive about it, and I thought I would poke a little fun at you. It was a clearly acceptable entry. I'm sorry that I didn't make it clear I was joking. - Xtreme680 20:06, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry! My bad. That's the result of too little sleep and too much work. :P --24 Administration 22:14, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

Hey thanks for the congratulations.... I've been out of town and was very surprised to come back and find myself an admin! Now that my summer classes are winding down this week, I'm ready to really get back to work on the Wiki! --Kapoli 18:42, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I found some people that you missed

I found some people that you missed so here it is:

1.Zack parker [But he's been taken care of]

2.David goss [ the guy who's body's been found at the start of season 3]

3.Salazar's guard who killed Luis annicon [All i know his first name is jeff]

I have zero ideawhat you are talking about. If I missed them, and I'm not sure what that means, it's OK to fix them without telling me about it. - Xtreme680 23:58, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry for what i've done

Hi My name is FALCONFAN and i want to talk to you about what i've doing.I'm new to all of this and the only reason I made changes on the Unknown/Dead and Marwan terrorist cell cause i thought it was true.I know you and a few people are mad and i understand that and I'm sorry if i've been making people Getting upset and so a'l explain my side of the story.The unknown people for some i'd thought were not dead for example Susan cole EVEN though comeing in contact with Bill when bill started to bleed but we did not see susan had any nose bleeds and we didn't see her after she was taken out of her house.Dave day2 was put on unknown before it got changed and i'd thought something happen to dave in someway but it doesn't matter.One of Bierko's men left and never came back and in some way it is unknown but A'l respect you for the change.The doctor teri was with who got shot i think his name phil and a'l explain this part he was shot and didn't look very good and I had a opinion but a'l say he'd lived.I felt dumb for changing rick allen's status and it was question whereever he ended up in jail or got out cause of his girlfriend confessing on the drug deal.I'm glad someone changed spencer wolff's status cause he got fired and told to leave so thanks on that.I'd did something good to create Lonnie and Joe and the only reason i'd screwed up cause i didn't read the creating page,I'm sorry for that.From now on if i need something a'l come to you.

[edit] Status of curtis Manning

Hi my name is falconfan again and U might remember me.I watched 24 just now and i went to look at curtis's profile and it said he's dead.It wasn't clear whether he is dead or now even though he looked in bad shape they did not mention that he is dead unless U found out beforehand.So is it ok for now to put curtis's status on unknown until next week where we can find out for sure?

I'm not being a jerk i'm just being honest.

[edit] Rollback issues

Why did you rollback my continuity edit to George Mason? Is there a reason why the first few episodes don't include "Day 1" before the link? Some advice from an admin on Wiki: I highly recommend manually reverting and explaining the reason in the edit summary for these non-vandalism cases; this way, the remainder of the editors understand the reason for having things a certain way. Squall Deckiller 06:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

If I may comment... The reason it was rolled back is because you made them all consistant, but the opposite way of the other character pages. The trend has been to remove "Day 1" from the link, rather than add it (besides, this would make the pipe entirely unnecessary), and include a "Day 1" subheading instead. Either way, it's irrelevant since we're looking at an alternative means of displaying appearances, anyway.

And in Xtreme680's defense, I too find myself rolling things back before forgetting that it doesn't let you comment on it. Not a big deal since, if the editor really wants an explanation for their reversion, they'll ask. As you did.  :-) --Proudhug 13:45, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Yea, basically, everyone explained this before I did. I have no idea why I used the rollback function. I guess I just sort of wanted to play with it. I'll revert better next time. I also have a bad habit of not filling out an edit summary. Sorry about the confusion. - Xtreme680 16:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Turn ons/Turn offs

I laughed when I saw Proudhug's list... then when I saw yours, I figured I'd throw one together. When I have more time, I plan to add wikilinks like yours!! Hahaha! -Kapoli 05:41, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism?

I was preparing to leave a note for you and Proudhug about the change that IP 24.80.228.68 made to User:Sceptre, but suddenly the same IP reverted his own changes. I don't know what's going on with that IP, but he/she did vandalize that user page, even if they also changed it back. I'm not sure what our policy is about that. To ban or not to ban? -Kapoli 08:15, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll look into it, see if maybe it was just a test to see if they could really edit pages, something like that. I'm prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt, and if it gets out of hand I'll rock their casbah. Any other warnings just give me the nod here, an extensive work schedule means I'm on late night shift. - Xtreme680 01:27, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree with you Xtreme680. Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt. I think chances are it was someone just editing to see if they could. --Proudhug 01:34, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt, and I'm not saying that he should be banned, but let's not kid ourselves here... he was testing out to see if he could edit? Yeah right. He changed someone else's userpage to say "FUCK". Then he changed it a few minutes later with a note that said, "RV own vandalism". Even he knew he vandalized it. I'm not saying he's going to run through here and move everything around ala Johnny the Vandal, but he knew what he was doing. -Kapoli 03:58, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Haha. 0kay, what are you saying then? --Proudhug 04:00, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

After seeing it, that's probably true. He did seem to know how to revert edits and what vandalism was. As a disciplinary measure, I'll ban him for a day, and if he does it again, I'll do the usual infinite ban. That seems to be a nice middle of the road action. - Xtreme680 04:02, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Haha, the hell?? This is the person's only edit. And it's been nearly a day since they made the edit anyway! I seriously doubt this person is coming back. --Proudhug 04:07, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

It's the principle of the thing. - Xtreme680 04:08, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey, it's possible that 24.80.228.68 suffers from Tourette's Syndrome. Go easy ;-) --Zhoul 04:21, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Dear Lord. I swear to God I'm just going to ban every person who spells a word wrong from now on. That's how I roll! - Xtreme680 04:23, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

"Test. Hello"?!?!! WTF? We gonna do anything about that? I mean seriously, that wasn't an accident... that guy had to actually search out the template and screw it up instead of just messing with the main page. -Kapoli 02:44, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Geez, I think you're getting a little harsh with your judgement. No one died and no one got pregnant, so what's the problem. I think vandalism is a problem when some jerk changes 50 pages to "*SHIT!" Someone changing one page one time is nothing to freak out over. --Proudhug 02:56, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Whatever. We don't have to ban him, but we're not even warning those people or leaving a note on the talk page... there's a group of little trolls that run through different wikis and screw shit up - even in a minor way - because they think it's entertaining and hilarious and because no one ever does anything. There's a particular IP range that's been a problem on several different wikis, and I think it's stupid to just sit back and not do anything when those idiots run through here. That guy obviously hasn't made any worthy contributions in the past, and I doubt he'll be back to ever make any real edits. If anything, he'll just breeze through and act like a dick again, so what's the problem if we ban him? -Kapoli 03:30, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

It's just that, even by talking about it right now we're investing way more time into this guy than he deserves. The wiki format is brilliantly set up to make it ridiculously simple to revert vandalism. I personally don't have a problem reverting two or three "hello" or "fuck" edits a week. It really shouldn't ruin anyone's day. If anything it's kinda cute that these people think they're ruining the entire website.

Keep in mind that the school's not going to suspend you for carving your initials into the desk, but if you carve your initials into sixty desks, or spraypaint them on the front of the buildings, maybe. --Proudhug 03:37, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

It seriously takes me a one button click on rollback to revert his edits. Besides that, I only want to do it in cases of OBVIOUS vandalism. Remember the wikipedia policy, Assume good faith and Please do not bite the newcomers. I will put a message on his board, welcoming him, showing him the help page, and encouraging him to contribute. If it continues, we can take more action later. There's no one more upset by vandalism by me, as I've devoted my fair share of time to reverting it, but some guy moving pages and someone typing test or hello is so different in so many ways. Don't worry, I've got my eye on vandalism, there's been no blanking going on, I've looked through all the redirects, and I am positive there is no vandalism I can't handle. - Xtreme680 04:01, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

IP 71.124.163.202 has just vandalized the Main Page and the Situation room. I've reverted the pages back to normal. -WarthogDemon 02:08, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Yet another work of vandalism on main page from IP 69.217.143.54 -22:18, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations!

Haha, I see you're wasting no time deleting pages!! Congrats on becoming an admin - I know you're gonna do an awesome job! I left a note on the adminship request page, but in case you don't see it there, I wanted to leave a congratulatory note here, too. -Kapoli 01:04, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations again, and thanks for the drink. ^_~ I like your new pic, too! --StBacchus 09:34, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Character Categories

Hey! I notice that you started to finish the Day 1 characters. I'm starting at Day 5 and working backwards... just one question: we're putting characters into "Characters" and "Day X Characters", but not "Day X", right? What about the CTU Field Agents? Are we putting them in "CTU Characters" and "CTU Field Operations Agents"? Same question for the intelligence agents... -Kapoli 04:50, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, Day X characters, not Day X. If someone clicks on the Day 1 category, they will see those Day characters as a subcategory, so there really is no need. As for CTU characters, I haven't even seen the categories, so I have no idea. I think we should have them be as specific as possible, so if they fit into one a field operation agent, lets put that, and if theyre an intelligence agent, put that. If we don't know, we can put ctu character. Then, we categorize the categories as subcategories of ctu characters. - Xtreme680 04:54, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh, also, I will work from Day 2 onwards, and we'll meet in the middle. :) - Xtreme680 04:55, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks so much for the help! You sped through those things FAST!! I'd be doing that stuff for another hour or so if you hadn't jumped in. I really appreciate the help! -Kapoli 05:43, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Did the Chinese get WarthogDemon, too?

Hey! I was just wondering if anyone knew what happened to WarthogDemon... I haven't seen his name on the Latest Intel page in a few days. I uploaded the photos he asked for a few days ago, but if he's MIA, maybe I should just add them to their respective pages myself? I didn't want to jump in and steal his thunder by finishing the pages he started, but I don't want us to forget about them either. What do you think? -Kapoli 15:23, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm sure he wouldn't mind, he'd probably appreciate it. After all, it is quite thankless work, adding pictures. - Xtreme680 15:36, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm still here. SOrry for being awol a few days. ^^; I would like some help on pictures. Might help with the locations I think I can handle the personal pics. I'll get right on that -WarthogDemon 17:10, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation tags

Thanks for changing all those links, Xtreme680! --Proudhug 18:16, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello and welcome! I'm also relatively new to Wiki24, so I'm still figuring things out, but everyone around here has been very helpful in explaining things. --Kapoli 4 April 2006

Hey! I just saw your message and I uploaded three pictures of Agent Baker for you to choose from... AgentBaker.jpg - a close-up of his face from Season 2, BakerSeason3.jpg - a picture of him waiting for Saunders to come out in Season 3, and BakertellsKate.jpg - the shot of him talking to Kate Warner in Season 2. Let me know if you need anything else! -- Kapoli 5 April 2006

You're right, I've been inconsistent with the appearances. Sometimes I forgot to add them to the character page - actually, I never even went to some of the character pages. I've been thinking it's useful to have the appearances under both the character and the actor (since it applies to both)...but if you think it's better to have them under only one, I agree character is best. --StBacchus 5 April 2006

Hi again :) I uploaded a shot of Richard during his interrogation... RichardHeller.jpg but if you had another one in mind (like when he's at home earlier in the day), just let me know. It takes literally less than 3 minutes to find the DVD and get a photo, so I definitely don't mind doing it anytime you need one. Have a great day! --Kapoli 5 April 2006

Haha, yep, I just saw it a few minutes ago. Thanks for whipping up the style pages and templates, I think they'll be really helpful! --StBacchus 7 April 2006

If you're interested in doing any of the episode lists, I'd be happy to have the help. I guess Kapoli is going to do seasons 3 and 4. I can screencap anything from the DVD sets, but I don't have the season 5 episodes yet. Let me know what you think. Cheers! --StBacchus 8 April 2006

Just wanted to say, thanks for doing season 2, it looks great!! --StBacchus

Just wanted to say hi back and thanks for helping so far. Still trying to get the hang of this and there seems to be something I forget every time I make something new. I'll try to get the hang of things so I won't be so "chloe'd" as your page states. Thanks again. :) -WarthogDemon 19:57, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Research Files

Why did you just replace a research file's content with "This should be deleted"? --Tuntis 20:44, 6 April 2006 (PDT)

I've started the Season 6 file; please recruit as many as you can to help. I mostly need help categorizing the Files. OneWeirdDude 01:21, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Season 2 template

Why not put this in the Sandbox? That's kinda what it's for. --Proudhug 10:56, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm almost done, it will be off in a little bit. - Xtreme680

I know, I'm just pointing it out so you don't have to clutter up your own user page. --Proudhug 11:05, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] O.C. Wiki

Sure, I'd be happy to give it a shot. Although I don't know anything about The O.C., so I'll be winging it, LOL. Tell me what you think of these.

Ooh, darn, I thought I had the right size. Okay, here's a resized version. It looks a lot different to me. Do you still like it?

Oh, and if none of them look good as a favicon, try this one. I didn't like it big, but I think it works small.

You're welcome - it was fun! I'm inspired. Maybe I'll go ahead and make an actor placeholder for here. --StBacchus

I'm glad that I could offer something to the Wiki, and I'm going to continue to look around for some other ways that I can contribute. You've really helped get this Wiki to where it is today, and I'd like to try to help you out with the OC Wiki if possible. I've never watched the show, so I'm not much good in writing character pages and episode guides, but I'd be happy to help out with actor pages or categorizing or any other projects that don't require an in-depth knowledge of the show. -Kapoli 08:02, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seacrest Out

Haha, your own personal decoder. Seacrest out... a personal favorite of mine as well, but my friends are past the point of being annoyed by it. I laughed the first time I saw you use it. And if you ever see me describe something by saying "That's so raven", just know that I'm referring to that horribly lame Disney show. I don't watch it the show because it's terrible and I'm not 13, but oddly enough, I use the phrase to describe things that are awesome. -Kapoli 22:32, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Links

No prob with James Radford. I just don't like accidentally claiming something not mine, lol. Thanks for the tips and I'll email Kapoli for images as I work on the links. Thanks for everything again. -WarthogDemon 20:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 24 and Lost

I noticed on the page for Nick Jameson you mentioned that he was one of three actors to appear on 24 and Lost. (I assume you meant the others to be Daniel Dae Kim and John Terry). I just thought I'd point out that Henry Ian Cusick, Gabrielle Fitzpatrick, and Alan Dale have been on both as well. The latter admittedly appeared in the finale so he's a recent addition. (It was wierd seeing the Australian Alan Dale finally do something without an American accent!) Don't worry. I've already updated the page.--T smitts 03:34, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, in hoping to do interwiki links with our friends at the Lost wiki, who have been very supportive of us. At the time I added it, Henry Ian Cusick had not appeared on 24, and the episodes featuring Gabrielle Fitzpatrick and Alan Dale had also not aired. Thanks for clearing it up. - Xtreme680 04:31, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Just thought I'd make a couple of additions: Skye McCole Bartusiak who played Megan Matheson also provided the voice for young Kate in the time capsule scene in the "Lost" episode "Born to Run".

Plus here's one we both missed: François Chau played the ill-fated Chinese consul Koo Yin and has appeared on "Lost" playing Dr. Marvin Candle/Mark Wickmund.--T smitts 14:53, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Just remembered one more: Donnie Keshawarz who played Yusuf Auda did a guest spot on "Lost" as well.--T smitts 18:31, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the welcome... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by King Kovifor

[edit] Thanks

Appreciate the welcome, I look foreward to helping this site. -Tyler

[edit] Character Categories

Just want to make sure; we want characters to be categorized in Category:Characters and Category: Day X Characters, but not Day X, right? I'm not sure everyone is in the Characters category yet but I could work on that. -WarthogDemon 23:04, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Right, and me and Kapoli have already done this, so there may be a few stragglers, but almost all characters have been categorized by Day X Characters, and not Day X. - Xtreme680 23:16, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal alert

This is important, Xtreme. Someone called Rapper has taken it upon himself to openly declare his status as a vandal. I've confronted him, so chances are I'm next. If you can block him, do it ASAP!
