Ah, no — he ''used'' to have a page, actually, but he doesn't anymore. The thing here is that we only award pages to unspecified Doctor if it's clear that they're intended to be ''new'', unnumbered Doctors — but if we don't have any physical description or other reason to think they're ''not'' an existing Doctor, then they just go in [[The Doctor#Undated events]].

Hi there, I've been looking at [[User:Epsilon the Eternal/Alternate reality games/Tie-in websites]], and it's really good. Have you noticed [[Into the Unknown (series)]] which seems to fall under the general umbrella of what you're doing on there? :) [[User:Aquanafrahudy|<span style="font-family: serif; color: pink" title="Hallo." > Aquanafrahudy</span>]] [[User talk: Aquanafrahudy|📢]] 16:44, 9 July 2023 (UTC) | Hi there, I've been looking at [[User:Epsilon the Eternal/Alternate reality games/Tie-in websites]], and it's really good.

:Oh, also the [https://web.archive.org/web/20170629185908/http://vincecosmos.com/index.asp/ Vince Cosmos tie-in website], which sounds right up your street (although as it's not a ''Doctor Who'' tie-in website, it might be a little outside the remit of the page).

== Re: T:NPA == | |||
I just saw your attempted apology at [[User talk:DrWHOCorrieFan]] pursuant to [[Talk:Fifteenth Doctor]]. While the speed is appreciated, the wording strikes me as somewhat insufficient. In the first place, you primarily stand accused of ''failing to assume good faith'', not a personal attack. Furthermore your wording ''was'' objectively out of line; it's not enough for you to say that you didn't intend it that way but are sorry ''if'' DrWHOCorrieFan interpreted it negatively. You simply should not have written it, and I need to know that you understand that, and will do better in the future.

Yes, I had thought that too, but I looked at other poems on the wiki and presumably they hadn't been changed yet.

== Non-valid Continuity sections, categories, and prefixes question == | |||
Why, hello. | |||
I wanted to ask if you could help me with something. I've been trying to find the new policy that dictates that continuity sections are now to be written with an out of universe perspective going forward, mainly because I plan to challenge it on the grounds that the continuity section references in-universe events, but I can't find anything specific within [[Forum:Non-valid Continuity sections, categories, and prefixes]]. Since you are the main advocate for the policy, I was hoping you could give me the abridged version of this forum, focusing on the parts relevant to how continuity sections are addressed, to help me understand and maybe come around to this new line of thinking. | |||
Thank you for your time, | |||
Sincerely, | |||

I'd like to apologise for thoughtlessly adding Rose's deadname to the lead in her article. I just want you to know that I'm not a horrible person and I do support trans people.

== Recent edits == | |||
Looking into some of your recent edits specifically relating to the use of edit summaries, please use the edit summaries '''for edit summaries''', not to engage in discussions regarding the edits, and / or the preceding editors' edits. Put that on the page's talk page or create a forum topic if it's got a wider wiki-concern. | |||
I know in the past we've had a more relaxed attitude to edit summaries, but they should be there to explain what has been changed. Not to engage in discussion/commentary of the changes. Put yourself in the position of an editor wading through edit summaries trying to work out what's been changed, it should be informative to the changes. | |||
Don't try to engage in an edit war with the edit summaries, there's better places to engage in discussion regarding these matters, if it's a matter of a more recent article engage an admin and the page can be locked to prevent editing until the vexing issue is resolved. | |||
And if there's something with some ambiguity where an edit war may arise, then support your position with an talk page, forum discussion or policy that backs up that edit change. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 01:33, 30 November 2023 (UTC) | |||
== Star Beast crew section == | |||
Hi Epsilon, I saw you marked the [[The Star Beast (TV story)#Crew]] as needing cleanup – what specifically was the issue you're having with it? I know there are a lot of crew members listed in the code that don't appear in the table yet, but that's because we're waiting on about two hundred new crew positions to be coded into the template, which takes a while (see [[Template talk:Wales crew]]).

Hi. Didn't realise you had plans in place. No worries. I'm happy with [[UNIT HQ, City of London]] and [[UNIT HQ, Leadenhall Street]]. Anything beyond that does seem a little too long, so Leadenhall Street is fine by me as long as it has a conjecture tag.

== You open a discussion about it == | |||
Hello. | |||
I wanted to reply to your comment [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Ruby_Sunday?diff=3684899&oldid=3684898 here] about why I don't start discussions, as there are a few reasons, and one of them isn't all that pretty. The first, and most mundane reason, is that I don't actually know how to start threads. I've only ever found out how to reply to them. The second reason is that I have a communicational disability; I only just manage to find the words in the edit description briefs, and the occasional talk page entries when properly motivated, and can be overwhelmed easily when partaking in discussions, with the thought of starting one being pretty panic inducing. The last reason, and the one that I still find triggering, is that, last year, I was bombarded with messages from a user who eventually left messages of self-harm on my talk page, which was also unsigned and left well meaning users posting self-help support to me in the misunderstanding that I wrote the messages. Having struggled with self-harming thoughts in the past, I got really badly triggered by the whole ordeal, and it put me off using talk pages. I'm only now starting to use them again, but the fear of someone replying with such content is still there. | |||
Since you were oblivious to these issues, I'll let it slide for now with just an apology for telling me to start a discussion to defend the status quo (upon proof-reading, I might need to reword this better), and ask if you could start one to begin seeing if multiple actors for ages if worth having in the infobox, as it will affect more than [[Ruby Sunday]]. Off the top of my head, a decision like that will also apply to [[Jack Harkness]], [[Gray (Adam)|his brother]], [[Amy Pond]], [[Rory Williams]], [[Mels Zucker]], the [[First Doctor]], [[Sarah Jane Smith]], [[Andrea Yates]], [[Rose Tyler]], [[Nyssa]], [[Tegan Jovanka]], [[Clara Oswin Oswald]], [[Clara Oswald]] and probably a whole bunch of other characters featured in flashbacks that slip my mind at present. | |||

== Meta-Crisis Doctor and the Day to Come == | |||
Hello, I wanted to respond to your question regarding the Meta-Crisis Doctor's "Day to come" section. The information you removed was added due to the sources making note to the Doctor's regenerations. Since the Meta-Crisis Doctor was confirmed to count in the twelve limit in ''The Time of the Doctor'', I included him when I was making note about the times the previous Doctor's upcoming regenerations were brought up, like when Mawdryn wanted the Fifth Doctor's remaining seven regenerations or the Valeyard's goal of getting the Sixth Doctor's remaining six. But, as I've mentioned before, I've been second guessing my old edits regarding the "Day to come" section, and plan to really think it over once I'm done with the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] retrospective I'm cureently doing in my mandatory week off work post-Christmas. | |||
I hope you found this answer satisfactory, | |||
Sincerely, | |||
