| == Featured article system == | | == Working out the new and old == |
|
| |
|
| Hey Josiah! I notice you've stopped by recently, so I'm gonna try leaving a message here before going to {{w|user talk:Josiah Rowe}}.
| | I'm also still finding my way around, it's strangely like the old days of the wiki (even saying stuff like that reminds me how long I've been editing on the wiki!). Everything seems to work similarly, but I think there'll need to be a review policies etc, now we're not under the auspices of those over there, and just a lot of historical stuff that's come and gone. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 00:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC) |
| | |
| Since you have experience both on Wikipedia and Wikia, I was wondering if you had any thoughts on how we could best implement some sort of featured article "process" here. Would a straight import of the Wikipedia system — with {{w|Template:ArticleHistory}} and all that — be advisable? Or is that system overly ambitious for a Wikia wiki, due to its smaller userbase? I've looked at what Wookieepedia and MemAlpha do, and there are lessons to be learned there. But I'm kind of hoping that since you're a Wikipedia leader with experience over here, you might have some thoughts on how to get smaller communities to build articles in a more cooperative and purposeful way. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">21:29: Sat 14 Apr 2012 </span>
| |
| :I'm honored that you'd ask for my input, but I'm afraid that I'm really not very knowledgeable about "process" matters like this. ("I know so very little about telebiogenesis.") In fact, I've severely cut back on my Wikipedia contributions in part because I don't have the time or the inclination to fight through all the red tape over there (not to mention real-life stuff, like the birth of my daughter).
| |
| | |
| :That said, my gut feeling is that there's no need for the FA process here to be as formal and stultifying as it is at Wikipedia. The key is to establish a core group of reviewers, who can determine appropriate criteria and apply them to candidate articles. Once that's in place, there could be incentives like the Triple Crown over at Wikipedia to encourage users to bring articles to FA status... but I think that has to come later.
| |
| | |
| :I hope that's helpful. Wish I could chip in more myself, but for the foreseeable future I'm afraid my contributions both here and at Wikipedia will be limited to fixing the occasional typo. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <sup>[[User talk:Josiah Rowe#top|talk to me]]</sup> 04:11, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

| |
| | |
| I'm glad that you are back editing here at TARDIS. Just to let you know, if you are staying, which I hope that you are, you might want to change your status from inactive to active [[Tardis:Administrators|here]]; at the list of administrators. Thanks. [[User:Mini-mitch|MM]]/<small>[[User talk:Mini-mitch|Want to talk?]]</small> 00:27, April 25, 2012 (UTC)
| |
| :I honestly don't know whether I'll be sticking around or not. If you look at my contribution history, you'll see that my pattern of editing is not what you'd call consistent — partly due to my erratic work commitments, and partly due to my general lack of responsibility. (Bit like the Doctor, really.) I sort of feel like if I list myself as an active admin, I'm liable to disappear for another 5 years, whereas if I stay on the inactive list I might actually stick around for a while and help. :)

| == infinity doctors ==
| |
| | |
| I offer my apologies for my lack of careful writing that have given you offense. I have no opinion on whether ''The Infinity Doctors'' should be canonical -- I cannot, since I have not examined the text. I have no issue with people who think it should be canonical or should not be canonical. I do take issue with the reasoning that it should be "semi-canonical" or that a "According to some sources" label" is not a clear warning sign that a piece may have severe continuity issues that may render it non-canonical.
| |
| | |
| If you feel that an apology in the discussion, let me know and I will make my apology there too. [[User:Boblipton|Boblipton]] <sup>[[User talk:Boblipton|talk to me]]</sup> 16:04, April 25, 2012 (UTC)
| |
| :No need — the apology here is both appreciated and sufficient.
| |
| | |
| :As for the "according to some sources" phrasing, I think it may be a necessary evil. Ultimately, the game we're playing here ("let's try to make 49 years' worth of ''Doctor Who'' fit into a single, coherent narrative") is futile, since there are so many contradictions even in undisputedly canonical material (who was responsible for the destruction of Atlantis? When are the UNIT stories really set?). All we can do is present the evidence to the reader and let him or her decide what to "count". Sometimes, we throw up our hands and say, "OK, there's just no way to make this fit." But that should be a last resort, and I think that "according to some sources" is an acceptable step short of declaring a story non-canonical. You are, of course, free to disagree, but I hope that you can see that the argument in favor of the "some accounts" wording isn't just "I like this and want to include it." —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <sup>[[User talk:Josiah Rowe#top|talk to me]]</sup> 17:15, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

| == Comic images ==
| |
| | |
| Sorry, you and [[user:Tybort|Tybort]] must've posted at roughly the same time. I kinda missed that you'd asked me several times about the [[Griffen]] thing. Here's the deal with comic images. People ''can'' get widescreen or 4:3 images 8/10ths of the time, so I'll tend to just reject an image that's not widescreen until they come back and say, "Actually, there really is nothing better." The widescreen thing is not quite so stringently enforced for comics, but at the same time it's mportant to occasionally tell people to try, or else we end up with some horribly long shots.
| |
| | |
| '''Better than me gabbin' is for you to check out [[Tardis:Guide to images#Comics]], where you'll see a number of different shots compared and contrasted.'''
| |
| | |
| Also, I went through an extensive tutorial with [[user:OttselSpy25]], which I think is now on his latest archived talk page. You might find some of the descriptions there instructive, but I think he changed some of the pictures so they don't demonstrate the flaws as clearly. Still, you might want to take a gander at [[user talk:OttselSpy25/Archive 1#Image selection]].
| |
| | |
| As pertains this particular image we're talking about, I'd go for http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v478/josiahrowe/Griffen1.jpg, but with modification. I'd get rid of the word balloon, which is super easy with monochromatic stuff like this. Just set your paint to the paper color and paint it out. Then I'd crop it back a bit so it wasn't quite so wide. (We do allow limited photo manipulation with comics to get rid of paper yellowing and to remove the entirety of word balloons.)
| |
| | |
| Hope that was helpful! {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">01:11: Fri 04 May 2012 </span>
| |
| :Thanks for the pointers — but unfortunately my Photoshop skills are more or less nonexistent. (Actually, I don't even have Photoshop on my computer.) I cropped and resized the scan in Preview on my Mac, which is about the sum of my image manipulation ability.
| |
| | |
| :But looking at your discussion with OS25, I'm seeing another problem — I don't have the source material for that strip myself. I've only read scans that were (illegally) put up on the web, and that's where I got the image from. So technically, I suppose I don't have the ability to make an image for [[Griffen]] at all. (Those Alan Moore "Black Sun" strips haven't been reprinted, have they? His other two have been, but I don't recall seeing his three Gallifrey stories reprinted — which is a pity.)
| |
| | |
| :Anyway, it looks like I'd better let somebody else handle the images for this one. (I only made the article because I remembered the character's name when I was making the disambiguation page [[Griffin]].) —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <sup>[[User talk:Josiah Rowe#top|talk to me]]</sup> 01:32, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

| == DWTV ==
| |
| | |
| Thanks for the fixes on the DWTV template!

| == Atkinson ==
| |
| | |
| Well, I'm not arguing for the immutability of the text. Indeed, it wasn't something I gave acres of thought to. I was just shocked that the article was still alleging that Atkinson was the regenerated form of McGann. But I do think the word "overwhelmingly" isn't hyperbole. There was only 1 respondent who argued the thing was canonical. And there were, what, over 10 against the idea? I mean, "overwhelming" is a word that admits of a lot of hyperbole, but rarely have we had debates that ended so convincingly. Sure, there was nuance amongst the opinions, but as a ''general'' and ''simple'' explanation of the discussion, it's accurate to say that COFD was '''overwhelmingly''' rejected by the community.
| |
| | |
| That said, I certainly welcome your improvements. Obviously, you've greatly enhancced the lead. But the word ''overwhelming'', or something equally superlative, should stay. Overly complicated, nuanced language at that article will allow some people to thin that there's some kind of wiggle room. At the end of the day, all that really matters is that we simply state that the guy isn't a part of the DWU, and that there's a community discussion which ''overwhelmingly'' decided that we would adopt that stance. So, yeah, go to town and change the wording, but please don't introduce doubt or nuance on for a discussion that went 90& in one direction. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">05:22: Sun 13 May 2012 </span>

| == River Song ==
| |
| | |
| Dear Josiah,
| |
| | |
| looks like we're a the point of getting into a p***ing match, so I thought it would be best to take it to a discussion here.... perhaps we should take it to the talk section of River Song. If you think so, please let me know by leaving me a message on my talk page. Email alerts of page changes haven't been getting through for several months.
| |
| | |
| I have been removing the matter of River's bisexuality because it does not exceed the level of speculation. The standards here are very strict: it needs to appear in a narrative source. Given the lies that Mr. Moffatt provides to keep the surprises actual surprises, he would not be a valid source even if twitter feeds were a generally accepted source. You've been in an argument with Czechout over ''The Infinity Doctors'', in no small part to sustain it as a source of information about Gallifrey.
| |
| | |
| Given these issues I don't think River's sexuality has been established in any way, especially given the way people in general lie about sex in general. I am not going to change it back immediately. I intend to wait a day or two. If you can offer something more substantial than the information at hand or a better line of argument than is possible in a title line, please do.

| == FP ==
| |
| Yep, definitely going to be coming back through and delinking with a bot. Fortunately, fairly flexible logs are kept of page imports, so it'll be fairly easy to identify the pages that need to be de-linked at a later date. However, the priority over the next week or so is on completing the basic infrastructure of [[w:c:factionparadox]]. We can live with a few redlinks in the interim.
| |
| | |
| By the way, I'm not opening up [[w:c:factionparadox]] to new admin until I get the "train tracks laid". But you seem to have a fairly good interest in/knowledge of FP. Would you be interested in admin status there, too? Wouldn't really be expecting you to ''do'' anything according to any kind of schedule, but one of the reasons the place died on its previous two attempts is that on both occasions the lone bureaucrat failed to add admin. Thus, when the bureaucrat's interest waned, there was no one left around with the power to do anything. Having additional admin would at least ensure that new users — if any ever come — could have multiple avenues of contact with those nominally in charge. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">15:14: Thu 24 May 2012 </span>
| |
| :Yeah, it would just be a backup thing in the event that a user — and let's be honest, there haven't been other users there for ''years'' — couldn't get in touch with other admin, and they really needed to get a page deleted or something.
| |
| | |
| :By the way, I've made you an admin at [[w:c:tardistest]], which is just ''pro forma'' for all active admins here. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">16:17: Thu 24 May 2012 </span>

| == HiFi ==
| |
| | |
| HiFi may not be [[Panda]], but he is '''a''' stuffed panda. As the Doctor said, "That is the dematerializing control. And that, over yonder, is the horizontal hold. Up there is the scanner, those are the doors, that is a chair with a panda on it. Sheer poetry, dear boy! Now please stop bothering me." As such, I think that a mention of HiFi on the [[Panda]] page isn't completely out of line. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <sup>[[User talk:Josiah Rowe|talk to me]]</sup> 02:47, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :Fair enough; the dab tophat can go back on [[Panda]]. But am I similarly wrong to think that a list of HiFi's appeearances is out of place on [[Panda - List of Appearances]]? {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">03:06: Wed 20 Jun 2012 </span>
| |
| | |
| :::Yeah, the "list of appearances" might be taking things a bit too far. I think that part of the conceit of [[Panda]] is the possibility that he might, somehow, be HiFi (perhaps given intelligence and a drinking problem some time after his time with Steven), but it's nothing more than a possibility, and I don't think that there's enough to support it in ''Iris Wildthyme'' stories (at least the ones I've heard/read) to justify listing HiFi's appearances in [[Panda - List of Appearances]]. I'll put the hatnote back on [[Panda]], though. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <sup>[[User talk:Josiah Rowe|talk to me]]</sup> 03:10, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| ::::Oh, I never thought he was a panda. I mean I know the Doctor says that, but I thought he was just sorta generalising. It doesn't particularly look like a panda. Besides, why would a guy from centuries in the future have a panda stuffed animal?

| |
| :Yeah. good point. I guess we do have stuffed dinosaurs. Still, it just never occurred to me HiFi was a panda. I've lost my DVD drive, but when my replacement comes in, I'll give ''Meddler'' a freeze-frame look.

| |
| ::Yeah, I think I will. I just checked the novelisation of ''The Time Meddler'', in which Nigel Robinson refers to Steven's "panda bear mascot" on the first page. I reckon that's conclusive enough for our purposes. (Though John Peel seems to have excised HiFi from his novelisation of ''The Chase'' altogether, the spoilsport.) —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <sup>[[User talk:Josiah Rowe#top|talk to me]]</sup> 23:24, June 21, 2012 (UTC)

| :::As promised, I've gone back and looked at "The Watcher", now that my system has been restored to health, and yeah, there is one shot where it's ''clearly'' a panda. Most of the time it's held parallel to the floor, such that it looks more like a regular teddy bear than anything. The tricky bit, for me, is that, like a teddy, there's no real girth to the doll, so it's flat when held parallel to the floor. I guess I expect pandas to be a bit rounder, ''plumper'', than a standard teddy bear. But when Vicki hands the thing to Steven such that it stays face-front long enough to get a good look. And it's pretty obviously got panda-like coloring. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">03:47: Tue 17 Jul 2012 </span>

| == Non-English versions of this wiki ==
| |
| Hey Josiah :) I've had to openly contradict your advice to a user in a forum, and I wanted to tell you why. I don't generally like to interfere when another admin is advising users, but in this case, I felt that you were advising without having all the facts to hand.
| |
| | |
| I've been working with the admin staff of the various international versions to establish a consistent nomenclature, so that, no matter where you edit ''Doctor Who'' articles, you know how to make a link to pages in another language. This will greatly simplify the creation of templates globally, and it makes all the Doctor Who sites much easier to find.
| |
| | |
| The nomenclature for all sites is:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| w:c:languagecode.doctorwho
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| This is because we, behind the scenes, are actually [[w:c:doctorwho]]. The whole [[w:c:tardis]] schtick is just a fancy redirect done to save keystrokes.
| |
| | |
| Because Wikia (well, MediaWiki) allow us to link to only one site per language, this also settles disputes in languages where there's more than one site. If there were w:c:fi.tardis and w:c:fi.doctorwho, we'd ''only'' recognize w:c:fi.doctorwho. Currently, for instance, there's a dispute between two German sites over which one we should link. The active community is actually at [[w:c:de.doctorwhotorchwood]], but we won't recognize them until they take over the dead site at [[w:c:de.doctorwho]]. This will helpfully force a cleanup of the deadwood in the de.wikia fold.
| |
| | |
| Also, given the high percentage of non-English sites that go belly-up after a week or two, we're no longer linking to sites with fewer than 30 pages. Just because a person creates a site in another language doesn't mean we march off to Wikia and request linkage. They've got to prove that they've got some kind of momentum. Clearly the French site is fully viable, and the Spanish site has really taken off the last couple of months, but the Italian, Hebrew and Polish sites got as far as one page and then stopped.
| |
| | |
| So, again, I'm sorry for stepping on your tutorial, but in this one instance, mainly for what are very technical reasons, I hope you can understand why I felt it necessary to breach the inter-admin trust. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">02:00: Tue 07 Aug 2012 </span>
| |
| | |
| :Oh, absolutely. There are no hard feelings. I probably shouldn't have answered at all, but I didn't want to dampen [[User:Kozov0]]'s enthusiasm. I thought I'd looked up the relevant info, but didn't realize that the naming was an issue. I'm happy to step back now that you're engaged with him. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] [[User talk:Josiah Rowe#top|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 02:03, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

| == Front page ==
| |
| Yeah, if you see what's called the "right skyscraper" or "right rail" creeping into the front page, that's a Wikia thing. We have no power locally to make anything like that happen, nor to fix it once it ''does'' happen. It means that the page has temporarily lost its "main page" flag, or that the skyscraper has lost its "don't put me on the front page" flag. Luckily, it seems to have resolved — but if you see it happening again, and it persists even after emptying your cache, do please file a [[Special:Contact/bug]] report. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">19:52: Fri 10 Aug 2012 </span>

| Hey, you've not been around for a week or two, so I thought I'd drop by. I hope all is well and that we haven't run you off. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} {{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 23:45: Thu 30 Aug 2012</span>

| :No, everything's fine! My daughter just started crawling, and I haven't had much time for online activities, that's all. I'll be around when I figure out how to keep up with her. :) —[[Special:Contributions/99.39.125.35|99.39.125.35]]<sup>[[User talk:99.39.125.35#top|talk to me]]</sup> 02:28, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
