:Yes, it ''is'' harsh, but with good reason.

On the other hand, it's not "out of left field" harsh.

Video policy[[edit source]]
Your recently-uploaded video, Video:WHOVIANNET - Series 6 Part 2 Teaser Trailer, is in violation of our video policy because it does not come from the official BBC YouTube channel, or that of an official national broadcaster, like BBCA. As a result, it has been summarily deleted. We are very serious about our video policy. The reason we're so serious about it is because it's the only thing preventing people from uploading whole episodes of DW-related programs, which would be a clear and indefensible copyright violation. I hate to sound harsh, but this is your one and only warning on the matter. Now that you have been acquainted with this rule, further violations of the policy will result in an immediate ban.

- Yes, it is harsh, but with good reason. If we didn't have a video policy, and just allowed anyone to post anything, we'd have the BBC down on us, just like they occasionally come down on certain YouTube video providers. On the other hand, it's not "out of left field" harsh. The rule is plainly posted at category:videos, category:videos compliant with our video policy, template:good video and, of course, tardis:video policy. Giving you a single warning beyond those warnings is more on the nice side than not. Point is that I'm not quick to inform a user that they're really close to being banned. But I do view this one rule as intensely important to the continued survival of the wiki.

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!
