User talk:Heyer8472
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi, Heyer! I have blocked you from editing Wikipedia for 24 hours, until about 23:00 UTC on 14 Jan 2006. This is because you violated a Wikipedia policy known as the three-revert rule. The rule simply states that users may not revert a page (for content reasons, not for vandalism) more than three times within 24 hours. While you did not violate the rule in this context, the sockpuppet policy says, "Policies such as 3RR are for each person's edits. Similarly, using a second account for policy violations will cause any penalties to also be applied." You used two accounts - User:Heyer8472 and User:162.83.74.104. Furthermore, User:Jtrost left you a warning twice on the anonymous account asking you to stop reverting Talk:Episodes of Lost (season 2). You reverted his message twice - while this is not another violation of 3RR (only twice, not three times), it is considered hostile (see talk page etiquette).
The four reversions that caused the block are:
- 21:27, 13 January 2006 (by 162.83.74.104)
- 21:31, 13 January 2006 (by 162.83.74.104)
- 21:39, 13 January 2006 (by Heyer8472)
- 21:50, 13 January 2006 (by Heyer8472)
Please observe Wikipedia policies in the future and try not to be hostile. Further violations of policy could result in more, longer blocks or an indefinite ban. Thank you for cooperating.--M@thwiz2020 23:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- On another note, you edited Talk:Episodes of Lost (season 2)/Archive03 three times today. Please do not edit page archives - they are preserved for future reference only, not for discussion, as noted at the top of each archived page in bold letters.--M@thwiz2020 23:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Blanking User talk:162.83.74.104 and your own talk page is considered vandalism. Please don't do it again. Thanks, VegaDark 04:34, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sun Kwon & Walt Lloyd
Thanks for infoboxing Sun and Walt. I went to go finish what i started, and there, you'd already gotten to it! Appreciated. Dave 21:10, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lostboxes
I think it makes more sense to put the appearances in other character's flashbacks outside the box. It's easier to read with less info in the box. Dave 02:34, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] John Locke (Lost)
Thank you for taking the time to add new content to the John Locke article; however, I've had to remove a good chunk of it, as it is a retelling of material that is already in the Episodes of Lost articles. It's not necessary to include every plot point in which a character appears; just the significant ones. —LeFlyman 21:05, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Hunting Party
Heyer -- you are using incorrect grammar, spelling, and tone in your episode summary of the Lost episode "The Hunting Party." Please also remember that an episode summary does not require intricate detail (such as the fact that surgery took 7 1/2 hours, that Jack took care of Angelo for a month, Kate throwing a banana on Sawyer, etc). I also noticed instances of Original Research in the article (mentions of "sexual tension," Jack was "relieved" by the results of the pregnancy test, etc). To keep the article encyclopedic, we have to describe only what is seen, not what we infer. I have reverted most of your changes back to the original summary (but kept a few changes). Please read up on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_writing_better_articles Danflave 19:04, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
I understand that you were trying to put the flashbacks in the order they appeared throughout the episode. That is not entirely necessary (and is sometimes confusing to write out). It is just as applicable to have one section about the Island events and another section about what happened in flashbacks. That way, you don't need to split everything up. In any case, I kept your changes, but just fixed up grammar and style. (also, remember -- you do not need to include every detail -- it's just a summary!) Danflave 21:40, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lost episode guides
Hey, in case you weren't aware, we're in the middle of revamping the episode guides for Lost. If you would like to participate, please read the discussion here, and then sign up for any episodes you're interested in. Thanks. Jtrost 20:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Edits made to Lost character bios
Heyer, I've noticed that you've been adding copious episode detail to the character bios (e.g., tonight on James "Sawyer" Ford). Similar to Danflave's remark above about episode summaries, also please be aware that the bios are not intended to contain everything that happens to a character. Please see the discussion unfolding at Talk:Kate_Austen#More_is_not_better. Thanks. --PKtm 03:58, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
To follow-up (and repeat what PK said), as I pointed out in the Talk:John Locke (Lost) discussion, the bios do not need to be a complete retelling of every event that the character has been involved with. We're trying to keep the articles relevant and readable; including excessive details detracts from goal. —LeflymanTalk 03:54, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Edits made to Charlie Pace
Heyer, I deleted your contribution to Charlie Pace's fictional biography as it was out of place, ambiguous, and made no sense. If you want to add something to the page, make sure that it makes sense. Flibbert 02:49, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Edits in general
Heyer, I don't mean to be picking on you, but you have got to slow down on your edits. The edits you've made recently either don't make sense (see note above, or your edit to Ana-Lucia's page) or are just poorly expressed, grammar faulty, spelling wrong. Please concentrate on making high quality edits, check your spelling, double-check grammar, etc. And again, more is not better. Please recognize that this feedback is coming not just from me, but from many others. --PKtm 05:36, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Other edits to Charlie Pace
Heyer, I once again had to clean up your addition to Charlie Pace's biography. You may want to make sure that what you are writing is clear and concise. Try to be picture yourself in the reader's position, and watch your grammar, run-on sentences, and active vs passive voice. The reader will need to know who is who and who is doing what. Flibbert 14:13, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reverts made to Kate Austen
Heyer, I reverted your additions to the Kate Austen page. In addition to bad grammar ("After Sun gets attack"), the contribution is just more plot summary, not meaningful additions to this character's biography. Please realize that the bios aren't there to serve as plot summary (we have the "Episodes" pages for that), but rather to describe the history and individuality of the character, as revealed in the show. -- PKtm 03:06, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quality of edits
Heyer, here I go again, I'm afraid. I look at the edits you've made, in this case to the draft summaries at Talk:Episodes of Lost (season 1)/Drafts, and I don't know how to say this politely or kindly, frankly. Your contributions are incredibly shoddy and don't seem to reflect that you're taking much, if any, care with the language, punctuation, spelling, etc. Specifically, just look at this single paragraph, with just the blatant errors (not even the shaky grammar and sentence structure) highlighted:
- After being interupted by phone call from Mr. Paik, Jin goes to him and he says that he did not deliever the message properly. He goes back to Mr. Han's house and beats his up. Jin tells him that the factories must open tomorrow and that he saved his life. Then Jin looks at the scared family and leaves. We again see Jin with blood in the bathroom and Sun slapping him. We also see Jin crying. He sees his surprisingly alive father working as a fisherman and helps him work. He tells Jin to got to America with Sun to start a new life.
That's four blatant errors in just eight sentences. I've been reluctant to say it until now (see all the threads above, though), but I think you should consider, at the least, using a spell-checker on your work before posting it, and, at the other end of the spectrum, potentially taking yourself completely out of this game in terms of writing, until your writing skills improve considerably. I hate to come down on your case about this. I certainly don't mean it unkindly, and I appreciate your energy in contributing here, but it's not a good match of skill set to need in this case. Please don't sign up to do any more summaries. -- PKtm 00:40, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Normal andfound-cap362.jpg
This image requires a fair use rationale to remain in Lost (TV series). For an example of a fair use rationale see Image:Lost ep210 12 360x240.jpg. If no rationale is added it will have to be removed from the article and tagged for deletion.--Opark 77 11:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
