In the meantime, for the sake of yourself more than anything, please just apologies and clear the air - it will make the discussion on [[Totem (short story)]] much easier, as there will be no bad blood. Many thanks.

== "No personal attacks" violation == | |||
<div id=box> | |||
A complaint has been issued against you, claiming that you violated [[tardis:no personal attacks|our ban on personal attacks]] when you suggested that [[user:OttselSpy25|OttselSpy25]] might not have the English skills necessary to understand your nuanced use of English adjectives. | |||
Because NPA is perhaps our most important single policy, I'm obliged to take action on it and report my findings to both you and OS. I have spent much of the last two days investigating your interactions with OS. | |||
I believe that you intended no malice, and that you made a logical deduction based upon information in OS' public profile. Therefore, I do not believe that you violated our ban on personal attacks in this instance. I ''do'' think, however, that it's socially risky to make an assessment about someone's English language abilities. Pursuing that line of thought almost always ends in disaster, with the other party having hurt feelings. It is typically best to just avoid any comments about your conversants' English language skills. Even if they truly do speak English as a second language, they'll likely get defensive if you accuse them of not quite understanding them. It's probably a better idea just to phrase things simply, without metaphor, and try again. | |||
Now, having said that I do not think that you violated our rules on the initial complaint, there's no doubt you did later. [http://tardis.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk%3AOttselSpy25&diff=1353452&oldid=1353188 This diff] shows that you made disparaging comments directly against the person. You weren't attacking his position at all — just ''him''. Because you didn't attack him with foul language, I'm gonna let this one slide. Be aware however that both [[user:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] and I take the no personal attacks ban ''very'' seriously, and your next violation may result in stronger action. | |||
Finally, you should be aware that I am not particularly happy with either you or OS over the conduct of the debate at [[Talk:Totem (short story)]]. Both you and he seem to have extremely short fuses. I hope you will be able to find a way to reset your combined anger and come to a more civil meeting of the minds. | |||
Please remember that ALL CAPS are heavily discouraged in discussions, as they are almost always seen as shouting. If you wish to suggest emphasis, please use '''bold''' or ''italics'', instead. I also think that you made the key error of editing the page while it was under discussion. This ''infuriates'' people round here, and can — in my view, understandably — make them immediately attack you. Furthermore, you are far, far too aggressive throughout the ''Totem'' discussion. | |||
That said, I feel the need to make it perfectly clear that OS is not a member of the administrative team here, and that he doesn't speak for the wiki. You are of course very welcome to edit here, so long as you don't violate our policies. It saddens me to see that you were greeted so harshly in the discussion, even if I ''understand'' the reason for the initial anger. OS has been warned against such behaviour in future. While I don't personally agree with many of your statements on that page, I do think you should have been treated much more civilly, and hope you will continue trying to improve ''Short Trips'' story pages. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 06:56: Wed 13 Feb 2013</span> | |||

==Eighth Doctor timeline== | |||
Hi there. I've spent a few days thinking about your comment on the Eighth Doctor Timeline page, and I agree with you, and have added some comments on the talk page. I'd like if you would discuss how to progress with the timeline with me on the talk page. Thanks! --[[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revan]]\[[User_talk:Revanvolatrelundar|Talk]] 21:04, April 21, 2014 (UTC) | |||
== Master image == | |||
Hi! The image on your talk page does not have a license. All images, even those meant solely for user pages, must have a license per [[Tardis:Image use policy]]. Usually I just summarily delete images without a license, but it looks like you put a lot of work into this one, so I'm giving you a chance to add the '''proper''' license. However, if you don't add a license, the image will be automatically deleted at some point during an automated process.

== Image deletion == | |||
Oh, hey, MOS :) Sorry, when deleting pictures, I rarely look at who uploaded it or where it's placed — just whether the image falls foul of any of our [[T:ICC|image rules]]. Yours failed not because it was itself nonsense, but because the '''title''' was. We don't allow titles that have non-English titles, particularly ones that contain long strings of numbers. One of the reasons for this is that nonsense image titles aren't helpful to our SEO. Another is that they're not especially findable by other users. | |||
Also, your image didn't really have proper [[:category:copyright templates|copyright templates]]. | |||
You're of course at liberty to re-upload as long as you change the title to something that makes sense in English and as long as you add an appropriate image license, as well as {{tlx|user image}}. Judging from what I remember of your image, you'd probably need to add several templates, including {{tlx|screenshot}}, {{tlx|bfcover}} and {{tlx|comic copyright}}. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 14:40: Mon 18 Aug 2014</span> | |||
== Block == | |||
You have been blocked for one month for violating what is probably our most important policy, [[Tardis:No personal attacks]], at [[User talk:CzechOut]]. I, like all the other admins on this wiki, take this policy '''very seriously''', and I don't care who is attacked, IP user, new user, old-timer, or admin, I will block anyone for violating this policy. When your block is lifted, please keep this policy in mind, as you have actually been warned about it before. Also, please read [[Tardis:You are bound by current policy]].

Go fuck yourself. | |||
Your hypocrisy is utterly vile. Your friend is the rude little shit. And you are just as bad. | |||
