Hey :) Thanks for trying to improve the quality of an image. However, it's important to remember that in the process of improving, you can't then break a [[T:ICC|local image convention]]. Your improvement unnecessarily pushed the size of the image over 100kb, which is our size limit for most images. The quality difference is so marginal, that breaking this rule can't really be justified. Another important thing to remember is that the only image quality we care about is the way the pic displays '''at 250px'''. (Why 250px? Because that's the largest width at which a pic will be displayed on a page.) | |||
If there's no obvious improvement '''on the article page itself''', then there is no reason to improve the quality of the image. Don't let this stop you trying to improve images, however, as there are ''many'' of our images which could obviously be improved, even at thumbnail width! {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 16:05: Fri 15 Nov 2013</span> | |||

Christmas cheer[[edit source]]
As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.
This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!
We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.
2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!
