That's a very silly regulation. | That's a very silly regulation. | ||
:The policy was discussed by the active members of this wiki who are striving to create a unique encyclopaedia made up of the best sources whilst maintaining an in-universe style that is constant across all the articles on this wiki. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 13:59, May 28, 2010 (UTC) | |||

:Oh no no no right but they still do it on the Star wars wikia and it works for them.I actually think the character main images are better against a plain background. | |||
: | |||
:You have silly regulations, and this is TARDIS Wikia, not Star Wars Wiki. Here ''we'' disaprove of promotional images on articles. The is against our [[Tardis:Manual of Style#Image use|Manual of Style]]. If you do not understand here are the main two languages in the world apart from English. [[User:Duelfight|Duelfight]], 18:36, July 12, 2010 (UTC) | |||
Vous avez des règlements stupides, et c'est TARDIS Wikia, pas de Star Wars Wiki. Ici, nous disaprove des images promotionnelles sur les articles. L'l'encontre de notre Manual of Style. | |||
Usted tiene reglamentos tonto, y esto es TARDIS Wikia no, Star Wars Wiki. Aquí disaprove de las imágenes promocionales de artículos. El está en contra de nuestro Manual de Estilo. | |||
:I'm just asking but why do you disaprove of promotional images or images against colour backgrounds? It works really well I think so why don't we use it? [[User:Neosforce657|Neosforce657]] 12:31, July 13, 2010 (UTC) | |||
::Quoted from the discussion on the forums: ''Never, ever use publicity stills — except as temporary, pre-broadcast placeholders – because they're out-of-universe, and have no place on an in-universe article page'' [[User:Mini-mitch|Mini-mitch]] 13:35, July 13, 2010 (UTC) | |||
::I know that but other wikis use them and it works fine for them. So why not here? [[User:Neosforce657|Neosforce657]] 12:44, July 13, 2010 (UTC) | |||
:::The choice was made here to not use promotional stills. Some wikis choose to use them, others try to avoid them. This one avoids them wherever possible. -- [[User:Sulfur|sulfur]] 12:53, July 13, 2010 (UTC) | |||

:::Yes it does try to avoid them but why? They work so well. [[User:Neosforce657|Neosforce657]] 13:01, July 13, 2010 (UTC) | |||
::::Because we want to have in-universe images, not out-of-universe articles. We decided it was better for this wiki and also we decided it looked better. Is that difficult to understand. That is why we did it. [[User:Mini-mitch|Mini-mitch]] 14:04, July 13, 2010 (UTC) | |||
:::::Basically, we write all articles from the point of view of some sort of entity at the very end of the universe. We only use images of things that actually happened in Doctor Who. That's why promo pics are no use on main article pictures; there's no way a Dalek would pose in front of a green screen for a picture. You see? --[[User:The Thirteenth Doctor|The Thirteenth Doctor]] 13:18, July 13, 2010 (UTC) | |||

== Last Words == | |||
Please stop removing the code as it is messing up the page. [[User:The Thirteenth Doctor|The Thirteenth Doctor]] 09:25, September 28, 2010 (UTC) | |||
Three things. | |||
One - Those weren't the Master's last words they were - Get out of the way! You did this to me! All my life! You made me! one two three FOUR... | |||
Two - We don't even know if he's dead so these can't be his last words. | |||
Three - He didn't regenerate probably and I think we should remove his last words from "The end of time" until we know whether he regenerated after attacking Rassilon. | |||
*I didn't say don't remove the Master's last words. I asked you to stop removing the coding. --[[User:The Thirteenth Doctor|The Thirteenth Doctor]] 09:57, September 28, 2010 (UTC) | |||
Oh sorry didn't realise I was. But the Master's last and first words from "The end of time" should be deleted until we next see the Master. [[User:Neosforce657|Neosforce657]] 09:58, September 28, 2010 (UTC) | |||
== Images == | |||
You've been asked before not to use promotional images. Please do ''not'' do so again. --[[User:The Thirteenth Doctor|The Thirteenth Doctor]] 19:25, October 3, 2010 (UTC) | |||
It works better. I'd like to speak to someone and try to get both promo and on-screen accepted. Just whichever works best for the select article. So who do I speak to about it?[[User:Neosforce657|Neosforce657]] 19:46, October 3, 2010 (UTC) | |||
*You would have to bring it up at the forums, [[Forum:Panopticon|here]], but I have to say, it is likely pointless as all articles are to be in-universe, and they can't be in-universe if you add out-of-universe pictures to them. You can try and have this changed, but it is unlikely to be changed as you'd need the support of a lot of users, and I think most of the regular users would actually oppose it. --[[User:The Thirteenth Doctor|The Thirteenth Doctor]] 20:02, October 3, 2010 (UTC) | |||
== Final warning about images == | |||
You've been asked several times by users and an admin not to use promotional images on this wiki. You've asked where you can bring this up, yet you did not and simply continued to add them. If you do so again, I will ask an admin to step in and warn you. [[User:The Thirteenth Doctor|The Thirteenth Doctor]] 22:57, October 5, 2010 (UTC) | |||
I've added a new image non-promotional! Give the man a medal! Please don't ban this new image of the Tenth Doctor in his Tuxedo in The Lazarus experiment. The shot is from after Lazarus is reverted to human form tempoarily before the Doctor gets slapped. | |||
