Hi, just been looking at some of your recent edits (brilliantly detailed!). The companies listed on the [[Human companies]] article should all have their own pages rather than just linking to that page. Thought I'd mention it rather than just copying your info to other individual pages. I've done some minor editing to the human companies to make it more in-universe for now. Thanks. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 12:36, January 13, 2010 (UTC) | Hi, just been looking at some of your recent edits (brilliantly detailed!).

:Even minor companies should have their own pages. (There are several articles that exist as only a sentence). The human companies article page, rather than being a list of major/minor companies should instead be a general article that references those (and other) companies to talk generally about human companies. Take the [[Wikipedia:Company]] article, the Human companies page would be of similar detail, a basic overview of human companies. As this wiki is an encyclopaedia the human companies article would be an overview of human companies, so it could start with basic overview for example; Global Chemicals, Autoplastics, International Electromatics through to IMC, Butler, Imogen etc. Also these could be within a category of Human companies (possibly as a sub-category of Human businesses). --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 12:06, January 14, 2010 (UTC) | |||
Revision as of 12:06, 14 January 2010
Thanks for your recent edits! I'm Jimbo, your robot wiki representative! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is actually a great time to have joined, because we're now fully independent, and working on a host of new features!
We've got a couple of important quirks for a fan written wiki, so let's get them out of the way first.
British English, please
We generally use British English 'round these parts, so if you use another form of English, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card.
Spoilers aren't cool
We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details.
Other useful stuff
Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:
- the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
- our Manual of Style
- our image use policy
- our user page policy
If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! — you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:
Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this:Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask an admin.
Human companies
Hi, just been looking at some of your recent edits (brilliantly detailed!). The companies listed on the Human companies article should all have their own pages rather than just linking to that page. Thought I'd mention it rather than just copying your info to other individual pages. I've done some minor editing to the human companies to make it more in-universe for now. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 12:36, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
- Even minor companies should have their own pages. (There are several articles that exist as only a sentence). The human companies article page, rather than being a list of major/minor companies should instead be a general article that references those (and other) companies to talk generally about human companies. Take the Wikipedia:Company article, the Human companies page would be of similar detail, a basic overview of human companies. As this wiki is an encyclopaedia the human companies article would be an overview of human companies, so it could start with basic overview for example; Global Chemicals, Autoplastics, International Electromatics through to IMC, Butler, Imogen etc. Also these could be within a category of Human companies (possibly as a sub-category of Human businesses). --Tangerineduel 12:06, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
