Now that we're using this as the official list instead of the front page, does anyone think this needs a bit of "sprucing up"? --[[User:Brucker|Brucker]] 18:34, 4 January 2007 (CST)
 
  
:Yeah, definitely need to do something.  We need to spruce up a handful of pages that the new [[Main Page]] links to.  If nothing else we need a table of contents.  This could also be another place to use [[template:init]].  It always bugged me that you couldn't tell from the list whose blogs were whose.--[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 19:01, 4 January 2007 (CST)

This page still looks like shit. It should look alot more like the right column on the main page, with episode pics instead of the ugly montage we have now. [[User:Misty|Misty]] 13:53, 18 March 2007 (CDT)

M'kay. The Creators have officially confirmed themselves as the creators of [[Watchyourjack]]. He has not only been mentioned, but has had clips of video in two official videos. Now, the Creators have said that following his storyline is not essential to following the storyline of LG15... But didn't they say that about OpAphid, too?
  
:While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, you could have shared it in a much more civil way. That's the least we expect of anybody contributing to LGPedia.  I don't think what we have on the main page is appropriate for a list of 157 videos (and growing).  If you have any suggestions on how we can implement your ideas, please describe them or provide examples.  We're all doing this for fun and out of our free time, so instead of just deriding others' work and demanding a change, you should be providing an alternative.

My question: should WatchYourJack videos be added to the official video list? IMHO, we should be including them. They've been repeatedly referenced by the Breeniverse and are arguably more official than, say, Nikki B's videos. (Of course, they wouldn't get their own numbers, they'd be added a la precanon or Nikki B vids.) This video list is more than just a carbon copy of LG15.com's video list; it's a complete collection of all videos in the LG15 canon, sub-canon (eg. Nikki B) and pre-canon (Jules's videos, etc.).
:: I wasn't making a demand, nowhere did I say anyone HAD to do what wanted, I just expressed what I thought. I'm sorry if the way I said it sounded uncivil, that wasn't my intention , I just tend to talk in very blunt terms most the time, maybe I'll learn how to be more diplomatic when I get older.

::I might have an idea...it just requires you diving into [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]] again ;) Check out [[Template:VidExpand]]; as saved, it did not work for me here, ''but'' the exact same code, copied from my user-css and from the page's source, works fine for me locally. So I'm pretty sure LGPedia is just set to ignore user-css (that's the default for MediaWikis) :D

::to the css? It's just custom classes, if it doesn't work, no harm is done...it'd just make the template useless (but like I said, it *should* work - it does locally.). But if it does work, [[Template:VidExpand]] should instantly work, enabling us to add all the vid information to [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos]] without making it kilometers long...

::::Renegade to the rescue, huh?  [[Template:VidExpand]] looks ''very'' nice.  I added the code, did F5+Refresh and voila.  I'm on Firefox so I got the extra bells and whistles.  I like this solution, but before implementing it we should give others a chance to weigh in.  Is there some way we could get that working on IE browsers as well?  I know you're a "progressive computer user" (from your forum post)... but I think a lot of our users (and lurkers) are still on IE and the list might look kinda long to them (you did mean that IE users always see the expanded version, right?).

== Adding Nikki Bower and Jules ==

Ok so it look like Nikki bower is clearly Canon now, as is Jules. Do they belong in this list? They aren't in the left colum yet, but I think that is an oversight by the webmaster, since they are a necessary part of the story -[[User:Misty|misty]] 09:35, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
::::: Thanks both of you :) Glad you like it.
+
::::: Owen, ''no'', that's the point ;) - all IE users see is an extra (useless) triangle - apart from that, it looks exactly as before. The worst thing that could happen is that they jump to that list item ''if'' they click the icon - nothing more.
+
::::: Reason is, display: none is default - since IE ignores :target's display: block, all blocks just stay set to display: none, and never appear. If you still have IE installed, go ahead and try it...I tested it on both FF 1.5 and IE6, and worked as expected both times.

::::::I looked at it with IE7, and it's as you say.  There's just the link and when you click the little square (it turns into a square for me in IE) nothing happens.  My problem with changing to this format is that IE users see a really plain list that's impossible to "spruce up".  For instance, if I wanted to put in a photo montage to make it not-so-plain, it would probably clash with the template for Firefox users. I'm with you, I totally &hearts; my Firefox, but you have to realize that <15% of the people reading LGPedia will be using Firefox (just an approx figure from what I know about FF and IE market shares).  I really like your template, but I'd  much prefer something that all (or at least most) of our readers can enjoy.  After all, we make the wiki for them. Can I appeal to the magnanimous side of Renegade? Pretty please *big eyes* you are very resourceful, I ''know'' you can come up with something.  =)  [[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 11:17, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

:I doubt it's an oversight, more of a way to keep us guessing. I still think we should stick with our rule about videos being in the left column. If they both turn out to be canon, I'm sure they'll add the videos to the column.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 10:43, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
:::::::Well, the problem is not making it work ''some'' way, the problem is the effort involved. The beauty of my code is that it's purely HTML/wikicode and CSS. No fancy stuff. It ''is'' possible (and actually widely done on "Web 2.0" sites) to create something like this for IE, but it involves adding JavaScript to the code, making changes to the template necessary, and generally bloating the site. So, I'd rather go with re-styling the list independently from the template, giving FF users the extra box one way or the other, but making the page prettier for all as well. Then again, I am not the admin - other people are to decide what code ends up in the template.
+
:::::::I originally had another three paragraphs here, but it was just random babbling that boils down to this: I'll go to [[List of Lonelygirl15 videos/redesign]] and see if I can make something nice tonight, including both the template and photos, and looking nicer at the same time.

::Bree's mentioning [[Nikki Bower|Nikki]] and Nikki's exposure of Jules to be semi-reliable, I think that's at least the Creators' way of saying that Nikki is canon. As for Jules, she may not be the "new girl", but she IS a canon character... Nikki (supposedly canon) acknowledged her as the "ceremony girl" and Bree showed a screencap of her YouTube channel in [[New Girl]]. --[[User:SilverBULLETx3|SilverBULLETx3]] 16:58, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

:::When you wonder whether a certain video should be on this list, first ask yourself "Is this video on the lg15.com site, in the left hand column with the Bree videos?".  That's your answer; those are the videos the c's deemed "required viewing".  The first Oppy vid was apparently [not] considered important.  As for the screencaps, they're just decorative, but if it bothers you that they include some non-required vids, we can change that too.  Sorry if it's confusing.  [[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 14:20, 23 April 2007 (CDT)

:::<sub>'''Note:'''I added "not" in my post because I wrote it out from the first time.  Sorry to anyone who got thrown off by that.  [[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 18:42, 25 April 2007 (CDT)</sub>
  
What do y'all think? --[[User:Brucker|Brucker]] 15:09, 11 January 2007 (CST)
+
::::I'm sorry, OwenIsCool, but I disagree. "The first Oppy vid was apparently considered important." The first OpAphid video, [[You Made the Right Choice, Bree!]], was not on the left-hand column and was not deemed required viewing, and it is not on this list although IT IS a canon video. I think that all CANON videos should be on this list, and canon apparently now includes Nikki Bower and Jules, unless the Creators are just playing with our heads. Tachyon and Brother are CONFIRMED CANON characters from the Creators, even though they will not be on here anymore due to Glenn's firing... but Op is still on here! ...I stand my case. --[[User:72.77.92.54|72.77.92.54]] 15:45, 25 April 2007 (CDT)

:::::Whoa, there no need to get excited.  Sorry, I meant that it was '''not''' considered important.  That's why it was left out of the left-hand column of lg15.com, and that's why it's not on this list.  I apologize for confusing you with my slip-up.  This is really very simple.  All we want to do with this page is replicate the left-hand column of videos on lg15.com.  If you want to know why Nikki B, Jules, and Tachyon are not on there, please take it up with the Creators.  It's not ''our'' call and I don't know how they determine what goes and what doesn't.
  
:Do you mean to literally make a gallery out of the images from the videos?--[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 15:14, 11 January 2007 (CST)
+
Ok , I want to revisit the whole issue of including only the videos in the left column.  if you notice Bree's first video isn't in the left colume, but no one would say it doesn't belong in this list.  I would like to see all canon videos in the list, including all the Nikki Bower, Jules and Taylor videosAnd I think that we can decide that by concensus regardless of what the creators do on the homepage. -[[User:Misty|misty]] 00:39, 30 April 2007 (CDT)
::Oh, I'm so dumb.  You already did.  I like it.  I think we need to add an index at the top as well, breaking the videos into time-periods of 20-30 videos.--[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 15:16, 11 January 2007 (CST)
+
:A couple of Bree's early videos are not on the left column because they are just not on Revver at all.  This had to do with copyright issues and not whether the c's wanted them there.  There's no question that all Bree videos should be there, the only reason we list them and the c's don't is because we can and they can't.  It's a different issue with Oppy, Tachy, Nikki and Jules.  They chose to leave those out, for their own reasons, and at LGPedia, we're just cataloging and organizing their stuff.  [[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]]
:::I gave it a try and figured out how to format it, but I'm not really happy on the headings and time periods I chose, maybe you'd like to give it a shot?--[[User:Brucker|Brucker]] 16:22, 11 January 2007 (CST)

::I still disagree, OIC. I would love to see Nikki, Jules, Taylor, Tachyon, and Brother videos on this list. Or maybe Tachyon and Brother are out of the picture due to Glenn's firing? But then I would vote for removing Op's videos. The Creators can do what they want on the left-hand column, but just because they do something on the main page, that doesn't mean it can't be on here. I agree with Misty on this issue, and would like to see it [[Talk:List of Lonelygirl15 videos/resolution|resolved]], so I am making a talk resolution page so we can figure out exactly what videos need to be on the list.

Okay, if I checked correctly, it appears that all the characters in question have been added except for Nikki B. I really think she should be added.  It is extremely clear at this point that the videos have ties to the C's.  They have also helped reveal a ton of secrets about the stories you cannot get in any other videos.  They help bring a broader knowledge of LG15 to a viewer who is trying to catch up, but in a way that is intricately connected to the story (she was mentioned in a Bree video!) and to the people behind the stories ([[Alli Danziger]]).... Hm, I was thinking.. maybe this page shouldn't be a list ONLY of what the C's post on the main page.. but of the videos related to the series and that should be watched to fully experience the [[Breeniverse]].  Okay yeah.  I need to stop making edits at 3 am :P  Hopefully this is coherant..

:This is spectacular! I really like having a full list of canon videos instead of just repeating the information already on the front page.Anyways, I went through the list for completion and noticed that these videos weren't present. Now, granted, '''all''' of the following videos are pretty insignificant, but should they (as canon vids) be added to the list? Opinions on the following:
 +
*[[Paytotheorderofofof vs. Dinosaur]], by [[Bree]] (May 24th, 2006)
 +
*[[YouTubers Secret Language]], by [[Bree]] (May 26th, 2006)
 +
*[[Misdirected. Lost Visual in the Burn Out]], by [[Brother]] (May 30th, 2006)
 +
*[[Sparks Are Flying]], by [[Brother]] (May 30th, 2006)
 +
*[[3-2-1 Contact]], by [[Brother]] (June 1st, 2006)
 +
*[[Add Poe Hinder Vilification]], by [[War Pylol]] (August 6th, 2006)
 +
:Of course, there are reasons why all of them have not been considered; Bree's first two videos were created essentially to gain an audience; Brother's first three videos were simply of fireworks; and Warpylol's video is less than one second long. On top of that, I still don't understand if Warpylol is canon (or was he a fan that took the side of OpAphid?). Anyways, these don't contribute much to the LG15 story, but if we're creating a 'complete' list... Should they be on there? My opinion is that the three Brother videos and the one by Warpylol should be included--but not Bree's first two. Opinions? --[[User:Rekidk|Rekidk]] 14:16, 8 June 2007 (CDT)

::I added the Warpylol video to the list. I tried adding the other five videos before, but the way the formatting works made it look very strange so I didn't save it. --[[User:FH14|FH14]]
 +
::I added the first five videos with bullets. I guess it looks okay... what does everyone else think? --[[User:FH14|FH14]] 19:46 4 July 2007 (EST)
 +
::: I think none of those belong, neither does the warypol video, for all the reasons Rekidk stated (up until "but if we're creating a 'complete' list...").  Also Waryplol is NOT cannon  just like Maddie Atkins isn't, (even though NBR mentioned her). Since Rekidk apparently only conceded to having them, and there was no support for those edits, I think they should be removed for the moment, until there is clear support for them -[[User:Misty|misty]] 15:21, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
 +
::::I have no problems listing the pre-Bree vidoes on that page, as it is a list of all canon videos, and those are included in said list. Also, Warpylol was a character created by [[Glenn Rubenstein]] to be an official part [[OpAphid]], and therefore, I see the reasoning behind adding his videos as well. A deal was struck with [[Jeromy Barber]] and Glenn, incorporating this particular Op character into the [[Maddison Atkins]] storyline later, so any videos that take place with that series should not be included, however the ones where, for instance, Warpylol is revealing the location of [[Brother]] to Op, ''should'' be included, same as we have done for all the other Glenn-made characters in the series.  Just my thoughts... --[[User:Zoey|Zoey]] 01:14, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
 +
:::::Agreed. Besides, Warpylol's video was included in the Brother's last video. He was also confirmed as a canon OpAphid Agent. Though is there a way to make it so the first videos can be listed normally without bullets? I tried formatting them like the others, but there was a huge gap between the section title and the videos because of the lack of a numbered video to build off of. --[[User:FH14|FH14]] 13:40 6 July 2007 (EST)

==Previous/Next Video Links==
+
== the enormous size of this page ==
Should the previous and next video links on the video pages include every video listed on this page? For example, right now the 'next' video in [[Silent Treatment]] is [[An Awkward Silence]], which skips [[Bored At Home]]. I know this resulted from videos being confirmed canon and added to the list later, but should all of the links be updated to reflect the list we have now? Also, what about the [[OpAphid]] videos which are now canon? Is it ok to change the links on those pages too? Thanks.--[[User:Jonpro|Jonpro]] 13:14, 11 February 2007 (CST)
+
  
:There was some talk about what to do on [[Talk:Miss Me?]] when OpAphid got merged.  It looks like we decided leave well enough alone for nowYou're right that the current "system" leaves out certain videos if you just keep clicking next, but I think what we can do for now is make sure that there are Notes indicating skipped videos whenever it happens (eg, The next video in the series is [[Bored At Home]] from [[Jonas]], but at the time of its release he was not a confirmed character).  Sure, some less-observant folks might miss it, but I guess it would help. I'm with you in that maybe eventually it will make sense to merge everything, I'm just not sure what would be the best way to do it. [[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 19:13, 11 February 2007 (CST)

:::I object to removing the montage. I think it gives a great overview of the story in picture form that we don't have anywhere else. I think it looks really good on the page.

As much as I beleive the Trio are taking a more active role, I hardly consider the videos from "Resuing Daniel" onward to be "fighting back," with the exception of Jonas trying to take out that Watcher.  Anyone else agree that this currect Chapter name is a tad inaccurate and should be changed to something similar to "Retreat" -- I mean, come on, they ran to the bloody mountains! --[[User:Phoenician|Phoenician]]

These section names are certqainly not by any means set in stone, it's just when I put it there, there had been a lot of talk about actively fighting the Order, and Jonas assaulted that Watcher... I don't like "retreat", but unless the next video or two goes back to the tone of [[Valentine's Day Massacre]] and [[Watch This!]], probably ''something'' else would be better than what is presently there.--[[User:Brucker|Brucker]] 10:51, 21 February 2007 (CST)

Hey i was wondering about the "List of lonelygirl15 video" page. because certain videos are not in the order that they should be in. they are being put in the order of the posting date on youtube and i think that they should be organized in a way so its more understandable. i dont think that the dates matter as much. like these video titles;

== Line-Height problem ==
  
Which Side Are You On? (Keep This In Mind) [The Op video should be after the video by bree;
+
In order for this page to look right we need to keep the line-height the same in all browsers.  I've trid to specify the line height in various ways, but I always get more pixels per line in gecko browsers (Firefox, Camino, etc) than I do in other browsers (Safari, IE, etc). Currently I have line-height specified at 20px. Does anyone know how to make the line height the same for all browsers?
I Listened To Daniel LG, Because the which side are you on video is under video 54# Where's Daniel? and i dont think it has any reference to that episode.  
+
:While there seems to be a known bug of sorts with IE and line-height (surprise!), are you sure, in this case, that it's not due to IE's different way of calculating height? 'cause, technically, I don't think the &lt;li&gt;s below each other count as a paragraph of text...they should be a bunch of formatted child objects of &lt;ol&gt;. Chances are that line-height would affect the line-height of the text written within the &lt;li&gt;s, i.e. not the space between the &lt;li&gt;s, but the space between multiple lines written within any particular &lt;li&gt;.
  
Feel free to correct me if im wrong but i think some of these videos are listed completly out of the order they should be in.

:...which, of course, creates a new problem: There is no use setting a fixed margin, 'cause [http://www.456bereastreet.com/archive/200612/internet_explorer_and_the_css_box_model/ IE renders the height differently] - you'd have to hack it (examples under the same link).

::::How exactly is this a Gecko bug, or rather: What is bugged? What exactly does FF do differently than IE? Where do the extra pixels come from? (Maybe we can find a workaround.)
:Thanks for letting me know that the current order isn't intuitive.  My understanding is that the OpAphid videos are put into that list depending on the numbering assigned to them by the Creators when those episodes were "moved to the left bar" of the lonelygirl15.com website.  [[Where's Daniel?]] is #54, and [[Disclosure: Cassie. We Are "They"]] is #54b.  [[Which Side Are You On? (Keep This In Mind)]] (the one you said has no reference to [[Where's Daniel]]) is #54c.

ok after spending 45 minutes googling it I managed to make a version of a single tag on this page that lined up everything the same in both browsers. this in in complliance with the goddamn idea that each pixel should have the same place in every browser ever coded into existence.
  
I thought that they were in the right order to but then i went to youtube and some of the videos are replies to videos that have already been posted and it makes sense for me to list them in my head that way, The way they are listed now would probably confuse alot of new-comers to the series and especially confuse them about the OpAphid videos.

:<small>Edit: Oh and for the record, Misty: It was ''not'' a Gecko-bug. If you compare revisions, the line height changed minimally for FF (purely because I guessed the value rather than calculating it), but changed dramatically for IE.</small>
 +
::Renagade good job,  that was a great find, but it only makes Gecko Browsers (FF,Camino,Epiphany, etc) and Trident Browsers( IE, AOL,etc) line up, but Webkit browsers (Safari,Omniweb,Swiftt, etc) don't. Before Safari and IE lined up. but FF didn't.  So this is what happened. Gecko does add an extra pixel to list items, that Trident and Webkit don't.  Trident accepts non-standard line-height 150% that Gecko and Webkit don't. so you compensated for a Gecko bug by exploiting a Trident bug, but now Webkit browsers which don't have either bug are not aligned.  The reason  I made the changes I did was that I started with Safari and Firefox, and tried to get rid of the extra pixel in FF, then only checked my when in IE when I was done, since i knew EI and safari had lined up before. So since you now made it so that IE and FF both have the extra pixel, can you find a way to get Safari to have it too?  -[[User:Misty|misty]] 15:16, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

Along the lines of what [[User:Michiev|Michiev]] said above, I am a newcomer to the series, and am fairly confused. Most of my confusion centers around the OpAphid-related vids; in particular, why aren't Brother and Tachyon's vids (not to mention the first Op vid) listed? I know they're not listed in the sidebar of the main site, but neither are several of LG's first few vids, and they're listed here.
+
:Please do, I don't know how many times I've tried to click them.  --[[User:Truncatedslinky|truncatedslinky]] 02:14, 3 June 2007 (CDT)
  
Basically, my main question here is--for lack of a better way of putting it--which vids should be included and what order should they be watched in for the "optimal viewing experience" (so to speak)? Also to consider here are spin-offs and fanvids, such as cassieiswatching and Nikki Bower, and how/where exactly they fit into the picture...--[[User:71.193.75.254|71.193.75.254]] 23:26, 9 March 2007 (CST)

== story Arcs ==
  
:I'm not that big into the fan spinoffs myself, and I've found that it's possible to have a great viewing experience even if you largely ignore them. In my opinion, the OpAphid videos are not required viewing (with the exception of [[Miss Me?]]) and the Tachyon/Brother videos are not required viewing either (with the exception of [[The Human Ransom]]). If you're interested in some of the spinoffs like Nikki Bower, Cassieiswatching, etc., then by all means watch them. But they're not necessary to understand what's happening in the main series.
+
I reverted the Bree Poster child heading because the story is really in the same arc as when Bree surrendered, the fact that she appeared on an order video didn't shift the direction of the story: we are still resolving the events of her surrender. -[[User:Misty|misty]] 18:24, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

::Somebody unregistered put up some new titles, and I rolled them back to my own. It's not that I'm against changes, but I didn't think the changes made were quite right.

+
== KateModern Vids ==
  
::Anyway, the current title of "Welcome to the party" was in my mind reminiscent of the line in the movie "Die Hard". For those who may not remember or have not seen it, the hero of the story calls the police to tell them the building he is in has been taken over by terrorists; they refuse to believe him, but send a single squad car by the building to check. Seeing nothing apparently out of the ordinary, the police car starts to drive away, and the hero throws the dead body of one of terrorists out of the building on to the car to let the departing officer know that he's not just some drunk making a prank call on Christmas Eve. As the body his the roof of the car, he says, "Welcome to the party..." Anyway, in the story arc, Jonas and Daniel go to a party where something is seriously wrong, but they don't notice it until Bree drops a surprise on them, and thus the line occurred to me. Anyway, this rant being said, I'm going to drop out of the edit war that this page has become today, and parhaps come back to it a few videos down the road when we see where all this is leading. <span style="color:Blue">'''''-BRUCKER [[Image:EyeBlueSmall.jpg]] ([[User:Brucker|Home]]/[[User talk:Brucker|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Brucker|Contribs]])'''''</span> 17:55, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

Tachyon and Brother ARE confirmed canon characters, and their videos do not appear anywhere on this list.

:''"Misty - Asking The Tough Questions Since 1994"'' :D
+
:I think it's easy - OpAphid vids are on the list, so Brother's and Tachyon's should be as well.
+
:After all, several of the videos that already are on the list are reactions to Bro/Tach videos (e.g. [[Tough Cookie|Daniel/Jonas knowing about Gemma's allegiance]], [[The Ends Justify The Means|OpAphid addressing Gemma's supposed demise]]) - so why not show the actions that lead to these reactions? I think the standard should be canonicity - after all, any video that's canon modifies the universe that's the foundation of all following videos. So, for example, if Tachyon decides to nuke the U.S. in one of her videos, we can't just not put it on the list and pretend it never happened - if Jonas, in his next video, walks around in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, people will expect to find the video explaining this on the List of Videos. It makes no sense if the list jumps from "Proving Science Wrong IX" to "Homeless Again - Judgement Day" with no sign there might have been something in between.

::This list was originally for all the canon character blogs (Bree, Daniel, Gemma, Jonas).  When OpAphid became an "official" ARG, the videos were '''not''' added because they weren't supposed to be required viewing.  The idea was that if you were a casual viewer, you shouldn't be bothered by the ARG unless you were interested (or so the Creators planned).  Around the time of [[Me For Daniel]], they posted on the forum that some, but not all, OpAphid videos would be required viewing.  Those videos were "moved" on the lonelygirl15.com from the video responses column (on the right) to the official side (left column).  Only those videos that the Creators established as "required viewing" were added to this list (note for instance, that [[You Made the Right Choice, Bree!]] is not on the list despite being an OpAphid vid).  For some reason they didn't think the Tachyon and Brother vids were as important, because none of those migrated to the left column (well, the Brother vids are mostly fireworks, so that I can understand).
+
::What I'm getting at is that this list is supposed to reflect the "left hand column" of lonelygirl15.com.  The Tachyon and Brother vids aren't on there, and not even all the OpAphid are there either, and that's why they're not on this list.  However, they should be linked to as Chronologically before and after on the blog4 templates...

Of course, Bree tells us otherwise in [[Rescuing Daniel]], but how would the "avergae LG15 viewer" know that Gemma was dead unless they saw Brother's video [[Gemma (Part V)]]? They'll just assume that Gemma is still alive and working for OpAphid/The Order? Tachyon and Brother ARE canon characters, and even though they may not have the most important videos, does Op either?

As you can see in the "history" of the main page, I've tried to "correct" the order of the responses videos, like it was "supposed to be" on Youtube. And it was ok.
 +
<br>But I stumbled upon a major problem. The video "The Ceremony Girl?! - NBR Investigates" is supposed, as the first video by Jules, to be a response to "Hug It Out".
 +
<br>But, for the sake of the storyline, it can't be. Simply because Nikky, in "The Ceremony Girl?!" talks about Alex' second betrayal, when it happens way after "Hug It Out" !
 +
 
 +
I'm quite lost here.
 +
<br>I tried to make the list looks more "like on Youtube" by adjusting the "responses", but in that case, it's impossible. Nikky can't have that information at this point of the story, and someone who would be discovering the season for the first time would be completely disturbed...
 +
 
 +
I think the list is by date of apparition, and that's a good idea. But I thought the "responses" had a timeline consistency, which the haven't, obviously... Sad.
 +
 
 +
So, I'll be putting everything as it was before I had the brilliant idea to "rearrange" everything ;)

Latest revision as of 18:55, 18 May 2009

For older discussions see Talk:List of Lonelygirl15 videos/archive.


Adding WatchYourJack

M'kay. The Creators have officially confirmed themselves as the creators of Watchyourjack. He has not only been mentioned, but has had clips of video in two official videos. Now, the Creators have said that following his storyline is not essential to following the storyline of LG15... But didn't they say that about OpAphid, too?

My question: should WatchYourJack videos be added to the official video list? IMHO, we should be including them. They've been repeatedly referenced by the Breeniverse and are arguably more official than, say, Nikki B's videos. (Of course, they wouldn't get their own numbers, they'd be added a la precanon or Nikki B vids.) This video list is more than just a carbon copy of LG15.com's video list; it's a complete collection of all videos in the LG15 canon, sub-canon (eg. Nikki B) and pre-canon (Jules's videos, etc.).

Opinions? --Rekidk 15:27, 17 January 2008 (CST)

Adding Nikki Bower and Jules

Ok so it look like Nikki bower is clearly Canon now, as is Jules. Do they belong in this list? They aren't in the left colum yet, but I think that is an oversight by the webmaster, since they are a necessary part of the story -misty 09:35, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

I doubt it's an oversight, more of a way to keep us guessing. I still think we should stick with our rule about videos being in the left column. If they both turn out to be canon, I'm sure they'll add the videos to the column.--Jonpro 10:43, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
Bree's mentioning Nikki and Nikki's exposure of Jules to be semi-reliable, I think that's at least the Creators' way of saying that Nikki is canon. As for Jules, she may not be the "new girl", but she IS a canon character... Nikki (supposedly canon) acknowledged her as the "ceremony girl" and Bree showed a screencap of her YouTube channel in New Girl. --SilverBULLETx3 16:58, 17 April 2007 (CDT)
When you wonder whether a certain video should be on this list, first ask yourself "Is this video on the lg15.com site, in the left hand column with the Bree videos?". That's your answer; those are the videos the c's deemed "required viewing". The first Oppy vid was apparently [not] considered important. As for the screencaps, they're just decorative, but if it bothers you that they include some non-required vids, we can change that too. Sorry if it's confusing. OwenIsCool 14:20, 23 April 2007 (CDT)

I'm sorry, OwenIsCool, but I disagree. "The first Oppy vid was apparently considered important." The first OpAphid video, You Made the Right Choice, Bree!, was not on the left-hand column and was not deemed required viewing, and it is not on this list although IT IS a canon video. I think that all CANON videos should be on this list, and canon apparently now includes Nikki Bower and Jules, unless the Creators are just playing with our heads. Tachyon and Brother are CONFIRMED CANON characters from the Creators, even though they will not be on here anymore due to Glenn's firing... but Op is still on here! ...I stand my case. --72.77.92.54 15:45, 25 April 2007 (CDT)
Whoa, there no need to get excited. Sorry, I meant that it was not considered important. That's why it was left out of the left-hand column of lg15.com, and that's why it's not on this list. I apologize for confusing you with my slip-up. This is really very simple. All we want to do with this page is replicate the left-hand column of videos on lg15.com. If you want to know why Nikki B, Jules, and Tachyon are not on there, please take it up with the Creators. It's not our call and I don't know how they determine what goes and what doesn't.

Ok , I want to revisit the whole issue of including only the videos in the left column. if you notice Bree's first video isn't in the left colume, but no one would say it doesn't belong in this list. I would like to see all canon videos in the list, including all the Nikki Bower, Jules and Taylor videos. And I think that we can decide that by concensus regardless of what the creators do on the homepage. -misty 00:39, 30 April 2007 (CDT)

A couple of Bree's early videos are not on the left column because they are just not on Revver at all. This had to do with copyright issues and not whether the c's wanted them there. There's no question that all Bree videos should be there, the only reason we list them and the c's don't is because we can and they can't. It's a different issue with Oppy, Tachy, Nikki and Jules. They chose to leave those out, for their own reasons, and at LGPedia, we're just cataloging and organizing their stuff. OwenIsCool
I still disagree, OIC. I would love to see Nikki, Jules, Taylor, Tachyon, and Brother videos on this list. Or maybe Tachyon and Brother are out of the picture due to Glenn's firing? But then I would vote for removing Op's videos. The Creators can do what they want on the left-hand column, but just because they do something on the main page, that doesn't mean it can't be on here. I agree with Misty on this issue, and would like to see it resolved, so I am making a talk resolution page so we can figure out exactly what videos need to be on the list. silverX3 11:13, 13 May 2007 (CDT)
I would just like to say that like Gemma and Jonas, Taylor's should probably be included (her pre-Canon ones) --Pheon 19:11, 23 May 2007 (CDT)

Okay, if I checked correctly, it appears that all the characters in question have been added except for Nikki B. I really think she should be added. It is extremely clear at this point that the videos have ties to the C's. They have also helped reveal a ton of secrets about the stories you cannot get in any other videos. They help bring a broader knowledge of LG15 to a viewer who is trying to catch up, but in a way that is intricately connected to the story (she was mentioned in a Bree video!) and to the people behind the stories (Alli Danziger).... Hm, I was thinking.. maybe this page shouldn't be a list ONLY of what the C's post on the main page.. but of the videos related to the series and that should be watched to fully experience the Breeniverse. Okay yeah. I need to stop making edits at 3 am :P Hopefully this is coherant.. I'd love your thoughts though!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zoey (talkcontribs) .

This is spectacular! I really like having a full list of canon videos instead of just repeating the information already on the front page.Anyways, I went through the list for completion and noticed that these videos weren't present. Now, granted, all of the following videos are pretty insignificant, but should they (as canon vids) be added to the list? Opinions on the following:
Of course, there are reasons why all of them have not been considered; Bree's first two videos were created essentially to gain an audience; Brother's first three videos were simply of fireworks; and Warpylol's video is less than one second long. On top of that, I still don't understand if Warpylol is canon (or was he a fan that took the side of OpAphid?). Anyways, these don't contribute much to the LG15 story, but if we're creating a 'complete' list... Should they be on there? My opinion is that the three Brother videos and the one by Warpylol should be included--but not Bree's first two. Opinions? --Rekidk 14:16, 8 June 2007 (CDT)
I added the Warpylol video to the list. I tried adding the other five videos before, but the way the formatting works made it look very strange so I didn't save it. --FH14
I added the first five videos with bullets. I guess it looks okay... what does everyone else think? --FH14 19:46 4 July 2007 (EST)
I think none of those belong, neither does the warypol video, for all the reasons Rekidk stated (up until "but if we're creating a 'complete' list..."). Also Waryplol is NOT cannon just like Maddie Atkins isn't, (even though NBR mentioned her). Since Rekidk apparently only conceded to having them, and there was no support for those edits, I think they should be removed for the moment, until there is clear support for them -misty 15:21, 5 July 2007 (CDT)
I have no problems listing the pre-Bree vidoes on that page, as it is a list of all canon videos, and those are included in said list. Also, Warpylol was a character created by Glenn Rubenstein to be an official part OpAphid, and therefore, I see the reasoning behind adding his videos as well. A deal was struck with Jeromy Barber and Glenn, incorporating this particular Op character into the Maddison Atkins storyline later, so any videos that take place with that series should not be included, however the ones where, for instance, Warpylol is revealing the location of Brother to Op, should be included, same as we have done for all the other Glenn-made characters in the series. Just my thoughts... --Zoey 01:14, 6 July 2007 (CDT)
Agreed. Besides, Warpylol's video was included in the Brother's last video. He was also confirmed as a canon OpAphid Agent. Though is there a way to make it so the first videos can be listed normally without bullets? I tried formatting them like the others, but there was a huge gap between the section title and the videos because of the lack of a numbered video to build off of. --FH14 13:40 6 July 2007 (EST)
Fixed it. --FH14 16:18 6 July 2007 (EST)

the enormous size of this page

I brought this up a while back on lucy's balcony. The easiest fix I can think of, would be to get rid of the video expand, but renegade put a lot of work into it, so I think he should have som e say in the matter. -misty 16:02, 11 May 2007 (CDT)

It's interesting it's taking that long for some of you. It only takes a few seconds for me, and I don't consider my computer to be extraordinarily fast.--Jonpro 17:19, 11 May 2007 (CDT)
the speed of the internet connection makes much more difference than the speed of the computer -misty 17:36, 11 May 2007 (CDT)
I have Verizon FiOS which is supposed to be almost as fast as Comcast High Speed, and everything else loads super quick, but this page takes about a minute. silverX3 11:08, 13 May 2007 (CDT)
well I don't want to step on renagades toes, but it seems we have concensus here to remove the video expand. if anyone come back with a complaint we can always revert. -misty 18:09, 15 May 2007 (CDT)

well it seems like this page still takes a really long time to load. who thinks we need to do another redesign that uses less images than the current montage. Perhaps 1 per story arc. -misty 00:00, 2 June 2007 (CDT)

I don't know . . . sure it occasionally take me a while to load (FYI, I do use IE) I like how the current list is roughly equal to the picture montage (It was actually kinda short, but someone just plugged in the Tachyon/Brother vids, so now its really close). --Pheon 01:37, 2 June 2007 (CDT)
if you look at the discussion below, you'll see that that's another problem, the montage doesn't is either too short in IE and Safari, or too long in Firefox and camino. so we have one more reason to get rid of it. -misty 10:43, 2 June 2007 (CDT)
I object to removing the montage. I think it gives a great overview of the story in picture form that we don't have anywhere else. I think it looks really good on the page. As far as the browser difficulties, perhaps there is a way to work around it. I would just hate to see the montage go for that reason.--Jonpro 10:56, 2 June 2007 (CDT)
ok how about a more limited montage with fewer pics. I created it on List of Lonelygirl15 videos/redesign -misty 16:11, 2 June 2007 (CDT)
I saw the redesign, and honestly the pictures there don't flow as well as they currently do. BDJ & Co. have been through A LOT in the past year, and I like how the current list reflects it as such. --Pheon 18:10, 2 June 2007 (CDT)
If you don't like the limited montage what is the alternative that you propose? -misty 22:10, 2 June 2007 (CDT)
Now that the videxpand template was removed this page loads pretty fast for me. The alignment problems aren't fixed by switching to a single column montage, so we might as well keep the double column. --JayHenry 22:42, 2 June 2007 (CDT)
So do we have consensus that the speed is acceptable? The montage needs to be updated since the addition of the NBR videos, but before i do that I need to know we have consensus to keep it the way it is. -misty 00:39, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

Line-Height problem

In order for this page to look right we need to keep the line-height the same in all browsers. I've trid to specify the line height in various ways, but I always get more pixels per line in gecko browsers (Firefox, Camino, etc) than I do in other browsers (Safari, IE, etc). Currently I have line-height specified at 20px. Does anyone know how to make the line height the same for all browsers?

While there seems to be a known bug of sorts with IE and line-height (surprise!), are you sure, in this case, that it's not due to IE's different way of calculating height? 'cause, technically, I don't think the <li>s below each other count as a paragraph of text...they should be a bunch of formatted child objects of <ol>. Chances are that line-height would affect the line-height of the text written within the <li>s, i.e. not the space between the <li>s, but the space between multiple lines written within any particular <li>.
...which, of course, creates a new problem: There is no use setting a fixed margin, 'cause IE renders the height differently - you'd have to hack it (examples under the same link).
That's my guess, anyway.
~ Renegade (talk | contribs) 07:36, 16 May 2007 (CDT)
In this case it's a Gecko bug.Currently the line spacing is set to match the montage on Gecko browsers, but be offf on every other browser. Should we change it to match the spacing of IE, Safari, and most other Browsers, or Keep it to match only the Gecko Browsers. -misty 10:11, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
How exactly is this a Gecko bug, or rather: What is bugged? What exactly does FF do differently than IE? Where do the extra pixels come from? (Maybe we can find a workaround.)
~ Renegade (talk | contribs) 10:43, 17 May 2007 (CDT)
gecko adds an extra pixel to text objects such as list items. -misty 00:49, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

Since it doesn't loook like there is a solution to the discrepensy, we need consensus for aligning to gecko browsers (Firefox, Camino, Seamonkey) or non gecko browsers (IE, Safari, Opera). Does anyone have an opinoion? -misty 00:49, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

fixed

ok after spending the whole weekend working on it I managed to make a version of this page that lined up the same in every browser. this is in complliance with the new Browser Neutrality Policy -misty 01:35, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

Ooh, good job! When I view it, though, there is a lot of blank space around each of the images. I kind of prefered when the images were closer together, it made it look more like a collage. There seems to be a bit too much blank space now, IMO. Can this be fixed and still kept "browser neutral"? --Zoey 02:02, 16 July 2007 (CDT)
Zoey, In all the browsers I tested it on, the Blank space was lerr than before. I can shrink it down more, but I'm curious how it looks on your browser, can you post a screenshot somewhere? -misty 15:12, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

ok after spending 45 minutes googling it I managed to make a version of a single tag on this page that lined up everything the same in both browsers. this in in complliance with the goddamn idea that each pixel should have the same place in every browser ever coded into existence.

Oh, did I mention the page doesn't render correctly in lynx? Guess we'll have to strip it down to text-only...browser neutrality and all...

~ Renegade (talk | contribs) 16:06, 16 July 2007 (CDT)
Edit: Oh and for the record, Misty: It was not a Gecko-bug. If you compare revisions, the line height changed minimally for FF (purely because I guessed the value rather than calculating it), but changed dramatically for IE.
Renagade good job, that was a great find, but it only makes Gecko Browsers (FF,Camino,Epiphany, etc) and Trident Browsers( IE, AOL,etc) line up, but Webkit browsers (Safari,Omniweb,Swiftt, etc) don't. Before Safari and IE lined up. but FF didn't. So this is what happened. Gecko does add an extra pixel to list items, that Trident and Webkit don't. Trident accepts non-standard line-height 150% that Gecko and Webkit don't. so you compensated for a Gecko bug by exploiting a Trident bug, but now Webkit browsers which don't have either bug are not aligned. The reason I made the changes I did was that I started with Safari and Firefox, and tried to get rid of the extra pixel in FF, then only checked my when in IE when I was done, since i knew EI and safari had lined up before. So since you now made it so that IE and FF both have the extra pixel, can you find a way to get Safari to have it too? -misty 15:16, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

Clickable Pics

If no one objects, I think that each of those awesome pictures should redirect to the blog that they're from. (I found myself trying to navigate by clicking them...) I'm gonna start in on doing this. ~ Jbshryne 18:37, 21 May 2007 (CDT)

I think that's a good idea. We've been doing that with other pages like Notable Details so it makes sense to do it here too.--Jonpro
go for it -misty 18:24, 30 May 2007 (CDT)
Please do, I don't know how many times I've tried to click them. --truncatedslinky 02:14, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

story Arcs

I reverted the Bree Poster child heading because the story is really in the same arc as when Bree surrendered, the fact that she appeared on an order video didn't shift the direction of the story: we are still resolving the events of her surrender. -misty 18:24, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

"Getting Bree Back"

I would vote that this "arc" title be changed, as they didn't really effectively get her back. "The Rescue Attempt" or something like it might be better, IMO. ~ JBSHRYNE 02:21, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

Maybe "Wanting Bree" to describe how they wanted her back as well as the now-clear feelings Jonas has for Bree? --Pheon 02:24, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
"Wanting Bree Back", perhaps?--jeans 23 June 2007
it's not important whether they actually succeeded, the arc is about trying to get Bree back, so the title is appropriate. of course if someone could come up with a more interesting title for the arc I'd support changing it. Wanting Bree, and "Wanting bree back" are Lame titles. -misty 20:08, 1 July 2007 (CDT)
Ouch, misty, there's no need to insult people. If you don't like something, say so, but please do so in a kinder fashion. What about "Found and Lost" (kind of a play on Lost and Found)? I also like Jbshryne's "The Rescue Attempt". I agree that "Getting Bree Back" doesn't quite fit, because she's never truly "back" at any point in the arc. --truncatedslinky 12:48, 2 July 2007 (CDT)
I like both JBshryne and Truncatedslinky's ideas.--jeans
I wasn't trying to be insulting, but I think that,there needs to be a sense of style around here, and it seems sometimes that means being less literal, also in TV a story arc, is describe by the focus of the recurring theme, and not on the outcome. For example the story Arc for this years season of Doctor Who is still called Mr_Saxon, even though we discover in the end, that Mr Saxon was really the Doctors Nemesis The Master-misty 15:47, 5 July 2007 (CDT)

The Gilman Files

Let's change the name from "In search of the Gilmans , to The Gilman Files. We already have the search for Jules, and it wouldn't be very creative to have a bunce of search for [xxx], titles. The Gilman Files, kind of has a feel like kind the X-files, and is very fitting for this arc. Any objections? -misty 12:42, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

Sounds pretty cool, and since the goal is to find a cure for Bree using a certain compound formula (and not just finding a new buddy), it sounds great. --Pheon 13:02, 7 July 2007 (CDT)

The Documents

Should we change "The Trait Negative Papers" to The Documents? Or something like "Spencer Reaches Out" or something like that? Love, -R- 19:53, 12 July 2007 (CDT)

I put that in as sort of a place holder, until we really find out where this arc goes. I considered something with "documents", but I thought it was kind of too similar sounding to "files", which is now in the previous arc's title. I like the idea of including Spencer in the title. ~ JBSHRYNE 23:24, 12 July 2007 (CDT)
I don't see jhow this is a new story arc, we are still dealing with the same thing, i suspect , tat the are about to figure what the way to mae Breee trit negative is, then we can start a new story arc. -misty 00:13, 13 July 2007 (CDT)

Mourning Over Bree

I seriously think that Mourning OVER Bree would work as a better story arc. I'll change it as soon as I get the okay from someone. Love, Randy (Say Wha'? | Whachu Doin'?) [3:31 PM, Central Daylight]

Hmmm . . . it's a good idea, especially as "Mourning Bree" could lead to the false idea that it's Bree who's mourning. But personally I don't mind either way. --Pheon 14:44, 7 August 2007 (CDT)

KateModern Vids

Should we add KateModern videos to this list or will we make a page called List of KateModern videos?

Given that we were expressedly asked to make changes to the LGPedia to seperate LGPedia from a KMPedia, I think it'd be contraproductive to put the videos on the same list.

Season 2

I think when season 2 starts we should move the current page to List of Lonelygirl15 videos/season1 and ut a list on a new list of videos page for season 2. the page would look the same but we would the list and the montage from the first seaon 2 video. What does everyone think -misty 02:27, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

I really like that idea.--jeans 03:26, 16 July 2007 (CDT)
No, that would make it too complicated to get to Season 2 videos. Especially since this main page is linked to on the navigation sidebar. I think that we should just separate this page into a Season 1 section and a Season 2 section.   •Silver•   Talk | Contribs 11:27, 16 July 2007 (CDT)
i think that's a good idea; i was just thinking of it myself. the list is already too long, and any way to shorten it and organize it better would be worth the effort. --Skeeta 23:02, 14 August 2007 (CDT)
the list is kinda daunting. i think we might put only current season vids on this page, and convert the old season info into a season one list page, with prominent linkage available from the top of the current season page? Just a thought. --Milowent 01:04, 15 August 2007 (CDT)
Judging by the issues we're about to have with the Initials (talked about here), we may have to finally split this page into two (sigh) --Pheon 00:14, 20 August 2007 (CDT)

looks good to me, and i agree season 2 should be the root page. it would be cool if we had a "season one" and "season two" graphic to put near the top as well. just a thought, not something i can do. --Milowent 13:00, 20 August 2007 (CDT)
I would've "prettified" it anyway...I was thinking something along the lines of "Season 1 →" & "← Season 2", if you know what I mean.

No, I ment I'd put "Season X [Arrow]" links on the top and bottom of the respective season pages, instead of this rather boring notice.

Sorry, I guess I should clarify that season2 was intended to go on the current "main page" of videos, I just didn't want to put it up until we had the okay. It sounds like we've got the okay though? --Zoey 00:06, 21 August 2007 (CDT)

This needs to be rolled back. Quickly.

Just leaving a note here to catch those who usually don't visit the balcony. Please refer to my comment there.

The listing is simply wrong the way it is now. (And butt-ugly.)

~ Renegade (talk | contribs) 03:25, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

Ok I rolled it back so we can discuss it more. But it totally can't see your objection. What about it is Butt-ugly? It looks almost the same except the line numbers and the vertical spacing. The font face and the font size is identical to before, the general layout hasn't changed. True, the TOC uses stars instead of boxes, and the recently added horizontal line under is gone, but besides that, it's the same. screenshot -misty 05:57, 16 July 2007 (CDT)

Renagade is just being bully, there is no reason to roll this back. It looks much better the way you did it and Zoey like it. What more do we need? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.22.204.187 (talkcontribs) .

Nice try to destroy my link there to distort my argumentation, so nobody sees how I made quite clear the neutral version is factually wrong.

Renumbering

Okay, it seems that with the site upgrade came new numbering for these videos. It's not a huge deal, but the numbers are inconsistent with the left-hand side of the lonelygirl15 site, and it shouldn't take too much work to fix them. I guess I'll go ahead and see if I can get that done now.--Jonpro 22:48, 31 July 2007 (CDT)

On second thought, I'm going to wait a little bit, to see if there are any objections. I always hate when people do things like this without asking first, so I'll give it until morning I think (unless someone beats me to it).--Jonpro 22:50, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
From what I've seen so far of the new list, the new numbers are only there because they don't recognize the "potential-right-infingement" videos like Dorkiness Prevails. The new list acts as if Purple Monkey was the first video when it wasn't. If I remember correctly, the old Revver version actually skipped those respective video numbers. I say don't change and just have a note at the top that explains the issue.--Pheon 23:56, 31 July 2007 (CDT)
Hi, maybe we can list videos that aren't listed on the official site, but don't give them a number? And also, videos such as the Cassie ones have their own number now, the list should be changed to reflect that? I don't have any objections, I was about to do the same when I saw the lists were inconsistent with eachother :) Babygurl1853 05:09, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

Remember me?

Should that really be in the list of lonelygirl15 videos for season two? I mean, OpAphid isn't even a part of lonelygirl15 anymore, That video is a part of The Madison Atkins ARG series. So ... i don't really know if it should be listed here.

--Michiev 23:58, 9 August 2007 (CDT)

The pre-canon OpAphid videos are on this list, and I assume that post-canon videos should be on here as well. I'd say it's safe to put Remember Me? on the video list, but not as an official video.   •Silver•   Talk | Contribs 19:40, 11 August 2007 (CDT)
pre-canon OpAphid vids were incorporated into official canon through the decision to make OpAphid official; by now, OpAphid has officially been declared unofficial, so the post-canon vids are no different from any other fanfic, whereas pre-canon vids have the same status as My Name Is Jonas, for example - they do not fall within the "canon period" of the character, but they provide the background of the canon-story. They are canon, but not part of the storyline.
I might add that this is not just my personal opinion, but Zoey's official decree.

Renumbering issue

I indeed have an issue with the renumbering. Pre-canon OpAphid videos have a number, but official LG15 ones don't? I'd say that the Creators are just having a hard time programming the new site. Surely this couldn't be what they meant to do. These edits need to be reverted, unless anyone disagrees with me? This is urgent; I can't stand to see the LG LoV like this.   •Silver•   Talk | Contribs 19:45, 11 August 2007 (CDT)

I have reverted the renumbering for now, on the basis that a) I could find no reference where the new numbers are coming from, and b) such a change forces us to update a large number of video pages (magnitude depending on where the numbers start to change), so it needs to be discussed before a decision is made.
~ Renegade (talk | contribs) 20:35, 11 August 2007 (CDT)
I think the creators know what they're doing with the videos, and if they want to give certain videos numbers, then so be it. But whatever, what does my opinion matter. Babygurl1853
The problem is not your opinion, the problem is you started renumbering from episode one onwards - that means, with your numbering, we'd have to manually update over 260 video pages.
That's a too big decision to have one person make it alone in a quick edit.
Not to mention that, given the incompetence shown during the site restructuring, I wouldn't be so sure about the Creators knowing what they're doing.

Taylor

I really think there should be atleast one picture of Taylor on this page since she has appeared in this season. I didn't want to do it myself since it's such a major page but I was thinking maybe the one from Gross Guy since she looks so darn cute in it. Anyway, kind of looks like a job for Zoey to me!~Nancypants

I'm sure a picture of Taylor will end up on the page eventually but I don't think there have been any stand-out pics of her so far this season. Doesn't she look a bit blank rather than cute in the loo pic? However, if everyone insists then maybe I can remove 0270-EmmaSmilingOnBed.jpg, move all the others below up one place and then add 0279-TaylorOnTheLoo.JPG & 0286-EmmaHappy.jpg to the end. (I prefer the Emma Happy pic to the Emma Smiling pic. Her face is better lit.) Psmith 20:49, 20 September 2007 (CDT)

I agree, I like Emma Happy more than Emma Smiling as well. Personally that pic of Taylor is my favorite, but maybe we can put it up for now and hope for a better one? It's really up to you admin guys, just wanted to throw out a suggestion :). ~Nancypants

"Safe for the Steal??"

I don't know what that means. Is there some pun I'm missing? If not, I propose a less confusing title for this story arc... ~ JBSHRYNE 23:59, 16 October 2007 (CDT)

Searches within ONLY Video Pages / Transcripts

The regular search box looks at the entire LGPedia. It would be useful to have a search option (maybe from the videos listing pages) that ONLY returns results from the videos pages (i.e. the video transcripts or associated notes) ... this is especially true when looking for a quotation by a certain character. Advanced search options (such as two terms AND'ed together) would also be helpful. Just an idea if there are any wiki gurus out there that could implement something like this. ~ QtheC 11:04, 17 February 2008 (CST)

Order for the responses

As you can see in the "history" of the main page, I've tried to "correct" the order of the responses videos, like it was "supposed to be" on Youtube. And it was ok.
But I stumbled upon a major problem. The video "The Ceremony Girl?! - NBR Investigates" is supposed, as the first video by Jules, to be a response to "Hug It Out".
But, for the sake of the storyline, it can't be. Simply because Nikky, in "The Ceremony Girl?!" talks about Alex' second betrayal, when it happens way after "Hug It Out" !

I'm quite lost here.
I tried to make the list looks more "like on Youtube" by adjusting the "responses", but in that case, it's impossible. Nikky can't have that information at this point of the story, and someone who would be discovering the season for the first time would be completely disturbed...

I think the list is by date of apparition, and that's a good idea. But I thought the "responses" had a timeline consistency, which the haven't, obviously... Sad.

So, I'll be putting everything as it was before I had the brilliant idea to "rearrange" everything ;)
