Hi Shambala108, | Hi Shambala108, | ||
Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that I've created a new page for TARDIS Data Core: [[ | Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that I've created a new page for TARDIS Data Core: [[Jack (Death to the Daleks)]]. | ||
I have to confess, I wasn't sure what to call the page at first, but eventually decided on the aforementioned title to differentiate between any other 'Spaceman' characters who may appear in ''Doctor Who'' in the future, and also to allow for a 'Spaceman' disambiguation page to be created at some later date. I hope this is all right. | I have to confess, I wasn't sure what to call the page at first, but eventually decided on the aforementioned title to differentiate between any other 'Spaceman' characters who may appear in ''Doctor Who'' in the future, and also to allow for a 'Spaceman' disambiguation page to be created at some later date.

Hi! While you are correct that we use British English on this wiki, the one exception is quotation marks. For technical reasons, we use the American way of using quotation marks. You can read the details at [[Tardis:Quotation marks]]. Thanks! [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:44, July 20, 2015 (UTC) | Hi!

Hi, please note that uncredited actors need sources if added to the cast sections of story pages. Thanks, --[[User:Borisashton|Borisashton]] [[User talk:Borisashton|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:32, July 21, 2020 (UTC) | |||

Hey there, I hope your Halloween was decent. As you might know, we've not had forums for over two years at this point. A few of the regular editors have been having a discussion on this topic at [[Forum talk:Index]] and we'd like the input of other prominent editors if you have the inclination. Cheers.

== Dr vs Dr. == | |||
Hi there. In British English, we don't put a full stop after an honourific unless the word, when written in full, ends with the same letter. So, "Mr" doesn't have a full stop because "Mister" ends with an R, but "Prof." does because "Professor" doesn't end with an F. | |||
If I haven't explained it very well, it's explained on [[T:HONOURIFICS]]. [[User:Jack "BtR" Saxon|Jack "BtR" Saxon]] [[User talk:Jack "BtR" Saxon|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:47, 10 January 2023 (UTC) | |||
== "This isn't notable" — why? == | |||
Hi Jack "BtR" Saxon, | |||
In my recent edits for TARDIS Data Core, whenever I have mentioned in 'Behind the scenes' that a character has never been identified with a first name or surname on-screen or in any spin-off media, you have always reverted these with the explanation "This isn't notable". | |||
Please could you explain why the aforementioned "isn't notable"? If this goes against the rules of TARDIS Data Core, I apologize. I always do my best to make good edits and understand if for some reason an admin has to reverse them. | |||
I await your reply with great interest. -- [[User:Freddie R. Aldous|Freddie R. Aldous]] | |||
: Hi, there. There are thousands of characters in ''Doctor Who'' and its spin-offs that we only know the first name or surname for, so it's not really noteworthy. Also, it's redundant; the fact that we don't have their full name on the page makes it obvious to the reader that we don't know their full name.
