The test and video didn't appear on the site until September 3rd European time. NicoleL88 04:43, 3 September 2008 (PDT)NicoleL88

Rename[]

  • Rename: I think the tests should definitely be renamed. I mean, it is the name of the test. Dharma refers to it as "Dexterity and Attentiveness Evaluation". It's kind of like calling the "Adrift" article Season 2/Episode 2. Why should we call this DharmaWantsYou.com/Test 3 when that isn't the name of the test? -- CTS  Talk   Contribs 17:05, 3 September 2008 (PDT)
  • Disagree: It's specifically referred to as "Test 3" on the "Dharma Wants You" page, so what gives? Follow the KISS rule. -DHH
  • Yes, but it is even more specifically referred to as the "Dexterity and Attentiveness Evaluation". For example, it's like naming an article "Episode 3", even though it is more specifically "Further Instructions". Why should we name this article DharmaWantsYou.com/Test 3 if we know the specific name of the test? -- CTS  Talk   Contribs 19:37, 5 September 2008 (PDT)
  • Disagree As per DHH, KISS. We should make sure there is a redirect and add a little thing at the top that says, also known as Dexterity and Attentiveness Evaluation.--JinxTalk Contribs 21:51, 5 September 2008 (PDT)
  • Agree: But it would be better as: "Test 3: Dexterity and Attentiveness Evaluation" that way, its easier to know exactly what test the page is about. CuteTanny 19:49 6 September

Plagerism[]

I don't have to to revise this, busy with other things, but anyway, I noticed that some of the information about the group names' mythology has been plagerized word for word from Wikipedia. This needs to be changed as soon as possible. -- #1LostFan  talk  contribs  Lost Wiki  20:02, 3 September 2008 (PDT)

Technically we can paste from Wikipedia with no fear of reprisal, but its bad practice and I know I for one get pissed when WP plagiarize us (often, me for TLE pages), so it should be reworded as much as possible for the sake of LP standard. --Nickb123 (Talk) 13:24, 4 September 2008 (PDT)
