Good point. Plus there's lots and lots of other science fiction stories set in the future or in outer space or both. It's such a cliché! DW is the only science fiction series to regularly set episodes in the past. It's part of what makes it unique!

==Re: Merak== | |||
The reason I listed "human" as a race for Merak was that when the Doctor was talking to the Black Guardian he referred to Astra as "a human being." He might have been using it as a generic term, though, so maybe near-human would be better. mithrel | |||
==Real world stub== | |||
Hi, I appreciate the addition of the real world stubs to the various article pages, but it actually makes the articles harder to find as it ''adds'' a category to them. A lot of the time these pages just need the ext links and category (most often either Doctor Who/Torchwood or The Sarah Jane Adventures guest actors category). When they don't have a category the pages sit in the [[Special:UncategorizedPages]] which makes them easier to fix and clear out, while if they're all in the 'real world stub' category they're harder to differentiate from those pages that have other stub related issues or those lacking a category. (Hope that makes sense). Thanks. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 13:34, 13 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
==Page move== | |||
Thanks! I might be the only person in Western Canada with a copy of that Big Finish, so I'll be adding some stuff to it after I've listened to it. [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 18:22, 30 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
==Another move needed== | |||
Sorry to trouble you again, but if you have a moment, could you please move [[A Room with a Deja View]] to [[Room with a Deja View]]. It's the new IDW Comics standalone and someone created it under the wrong title. Thanks again! [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 04:31, 31 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
* I didn't realize that! I'm used to the way things were at Wikipedia where you had to be an admin (as I am there) to do page moves. That certainly makes things simpler! Thanks for pointing that out -- I'll remember that in future. Cheers! [[User:23skidoo|23skidoo]] 12:36, 31 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
==Images== | |||
Hey, when you are uploading images to articles make sure you edit the images to the standard size of 250px. Thanks [[User:Bigshowbower|Bigshowbower]] 06:44, 5 August 2009 (UTC) | |||
== Spelling mistakes (sorry...'typos')! == | |||
Hi! Thanks for the smoke! I do get tired and carried away sometimes not the best combination I know! If I do come across spelling errors on source material I would usually point them out, so no worries there. Americanwhofan seems to chasing me on picking up errors and leaving little notes under comments when I wish he would just change them for me when its obvious. I cant let him know this, apart from following him in discussion pages because he hasnt got a userpage, and Im not sure about deleting the discussion bit after Ive corrected it. Any ideas? Thanks by the way! [[User:The Librarian|The Librarian]] 00:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC) | |||
== question about a recent edit == | |||
Why did you remove "They were also used on New Earth in [[Gridlock (TV story)|Gridlock]] ." from the article Credit. | |||

==Prop deletes to images== | |||
Hey, the prop delete can be added to image pages the same as regular pages. Adding it just makes admins a little more aware than just a note on the talk page. Thanks. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 12:48, January 11, 2010 (UTC) | |||
<strike>eeerrrmmm..... why have you vandalised the wiki?</strike> Oh right.... sorry [[User:Lu-igi board|Lu-igi board]] ps, using three tidels is better. look, no date :p | |||
:Dunno why you wouldn't want to have a date; the very point of the signature is that it gives a date. But that's not what I'm here to talk about.

==Template:Merge== | |||
I certainly wouldn't suggest that the pic I've put there temporarily is the ''only'' thing that could be used, but I really ''don't'' like the idea of the meta-crisis Doctor being present at all. He's the ''opposite'' of a merger, really. Well, when put next to the real Tenth Doctor, anyway. They '''aren't''' the same thing at all, really. I might possibly buy an image of Donna and Meta during the moment of transformation, but even that's pretty obscure. The image that's there now clearly shows the act of merging. It's possible that the better thing is just to get rid of pics altogether with these templates, anyway. Sometimes, as in this case, they actually just make the box bigger and fatter than it needs to be. It'd probably be cleaner to go for something altogether more subtle, like a transparency of some kind, if there has to be a pic at all.

:I played around with Mawdryn Undead, but the problem, for me, is that the sets are so damned ''busy'' in that episode that they drown out the point of the photograph at 50px. Instead, I've gone more ''Warrior's Gate'', and done a quick transparency. I think it now instantly says "merger". You don't have to be a major ''Doctor Who'' fan to "get" it, but if you are, then you might be rewarded by noticing the ''Warrior's Gate'' tie-in.

==Assistance with a discussion on the forums== | |||
Hi, I'd value your input/discussion on this topic in the forums [[Forum:Italics or Quotation marks?]], I'm not comfortable making a ruling solely based on a running conversation between myself and CzechOut and would value other regular editors' points of view on this issue. Thanks. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 06:34, June 24, 2010 (UTC) | |||

== Couple of issues == | |||
Hi! I had to delete the images you uploaded recently. The main issue is that you uploaded screen shots in .png, whereas '''all screenshots must be uploaded in .jpg'''. There were a couple of other issues with your images as well, including dimensions and placement on pages. Please take a look at our image policies, which are gathered in one spot at [[Thread:148148]], before you upload any more images. | |||
Also, I've removed the "delete" tags you placed on three articles. Some time back, it was decided that anything mentioned in a DWU story was worthy of having a page created about it. Therefore, these 3 articles do have value on the wiki. I can't remember where the forum decision is, but if/when I find it I'll post it here for you to read. | |||

== Re:Image deletion/licensing == | |||
There is a program set up on this wiki to '''automatically''' delete images without licenses. | |||
As for making it impossible to upload without a license, that kind of thing is beyond my technical ability, so I don't know if it's possible. | |||
Finally. your suggestion that I "ask the user to add a license rather than force them to re-upload the image" seems like a workable idea, but for the most part it gets ignored, and the images remain without a license. The thing is, copyright issues are a '''very important''' issue. When we have so many new users incorrectly uploading images, it's impossible to keep track and get in touch with all of them.

:I've been too busy with other projects to upload any images, but when I get a chance, I'll take a look at the license selection dropdown and see if there's a way to make it more prominent.
