But there's at least ''Terror of the Zygons'' where a character credited as "soldier" who works for UNIT. To the average person using the site, it would be more helpful to point both [[UNIT soldier]] and soldier to a single disambiguation page. (Also, given the fact that we've started with listing uncredited characters, there will come a time when we have a ''lot'' of UNIT soldiers running around on the site.) | ||

It's probably unlikely there's another character called a [[Spray painter]], and it's not really a profession, anyway. (The profession is "painter".) Again, please think in terms of the '''future''', not just what's here now. And please do ''look'' before you delete. A good trick is to look for categories first. If you find a category with the name of that profession, that means an article ''could'' be written at [[profession name]]. Then look in the search box for "profession name 1" and "profession name a". These two searches will reveal all instances of the profession name, including those where the character is red-linked or not linked at all. These steps will help you make deletions/changes that likely won't be reverted. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | ||

Please revert your edits where you have seperated the dates. This format expresses a continual living as opposed to two seperate dates. If not, I will open a forum discussion in the morning. Come on...the dates are not a list, please stop. Thanks--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 00:09, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
Please | You do not have an argument, nor have you replied please leave the Shaun and Bronwen articles for illustrations of my point on the forums. I will write it tomorrow. Thanks--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 00:16, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | ||
Exactly, you want it that way. Sense stands against you. Have you even read my edit summaries before you reverted them? Somethings are of unwritten law.--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 00:19, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
Please leave the Bronwen article as it is. I need it for forum sourcing. I will write it up in the morning. Ta--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 00:27, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||

Do you happen to know what role Pete filled in this episode? I cannot find him on the video, nor the Café owner.--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 20:26, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
Yeah, I haven't watched it fully for an age. I'm just skipping through. Oh well. Thanks anyway.--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 20:35, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||

They're quite clearly over 8 years old. Please do not change these until we come to a conclusion. Thanks--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 21:02, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
It does say home era, you cannot dispute that. Please, do not change your whole argument if it swings against you.--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 21:12, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
No, I was in that discussion. That was a suggestion that was never followed through feel free to restart it though. Until than, leave it as it is. Simple :)--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 21:23, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
You cannot just edit it for your ends. Start a discussion, a conclusion of this sort was never reached.--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 21:51, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
Okay, you have changed them, not me. You changed the infobox without a conclusion. It is getting out of hands.--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 21:57, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
I support Skittles here. Mini-mitch, you are acting like a moronic 5 year old who refuses to lose an argument~ Fan555 [[Special:Contributions/77.96.132.253|77.96.132.253]] 21:59, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
No, it can be changed within current regulations. That is, Home era. I personally think "Era Active" is a bit daft but, again fell free to put it on the forums. Thanks--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 22:02, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
Again, within the regulations. I am going out now anyway so I am off. On another, friendlier note; I found the [[Pete (Random Shoes)]] guy, he isn't named but as the only other non-extra, it must be him. Please tell me if you can further clarify this. Thanks.--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 22:07, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
Yep :) no Bold Clone grudges. Bye--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 22:10, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
==Apology== | |||
I'm sorry to have insulted you like this, but when I see admins doing silly things, I just see red, you know what I mean. Anyway, you know my opinion on the whole thing, so i'm off to watch the doctor pwn some aliens. [[User:Fan555|Fan555]] 22:12, February 14, 2011 (UTC) | |||
== Blocking on the basis of [[tardis:no personal attacks]] == | |||
It is inappropriate for you, as the alleged victim of a personal attack, to carry out the blocking of editor on the basis of the policy contained in [[tardis:no personal attacks]]. You cannot possibly be subjective about such a matter. If someone attacks you, please go to '''another admin''' to seek blocking. Otherwise, it'll easily be construed as a distasteful abuse of power. Admins, in any case, should have thicker skin about such matters. My investigations into the history of this case indicate a pretty borderline abuse of the policy, and it could well be argued that he didn't violate the policy at all. By saying that you were "acting like a moronic 5 year old who refused to lose an argument", he is, in my view, making a statement "regarding the actions of the user". There is a difference between say "you moron" and "your actions are moronic", and this seems to be borne out by [[tardis:no personal attacks#Examples that are not personal attacks]]. In any case, let's imagine he actually did, directly, call you a "moron". That's hardly a swear word. It's barely that offensive. Is it really worth a one-week ban? Absolutely not. You overreacted. | |||
If you're offended by a user in future, please pass the matter off to another admin. Do not attempt to handle the situation by yourself. And if you're adjudicating a similar matter on behalf of another admin, please have a sense of scale in terms of punishment. One week is pretty harsh for the word "moron". We don't want to build the reputation that this wiki has an admin team who'll block at the drop of a hat. | |||
In this case, we've been lucky, since [[user talk:Fan555|Fan555]], the registered name of the IP user you blocked, has most graciously apologized to you. That ''could've'' been a long-term user of Wikia with 100,000 edits across the system, with lots of friends he could warn away from our wiki. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} | |||
