Ahem. Sorry to interrupt the discussion, but I would like to point out that, with less than a week to broadcast, its probably safe to make the page. Last series we had episode pages up for most of the stories a week in advance. Especially now we have an official synopsis and teaser videos out. I'd like to finish by saying that ive been a wiki member for a year now, and in that time ive enjoyed being part of a well managed and neat wiki, and I'd hate to see that fall down over silly things like this. You guys just need to a bit more open minded in your interpretation of the rules. [[User:Fan555|Fan555]] 13:16, April 18, 2011 (UTC) | Ahem.

:We are generally a fairly open minded bunch, it's just the details we like to get right. | |||
:The "Episode (TV story)" discussion is one best left to a different debate, I think it's just muddying the waters somewhat here. | |||
:To set a few things out clearly; as Mini-mitch has reminded us this wiki is an encyclopaedia and ''not'' a news source, to write ''anything'' (in articles) on this wiki it needs to have a source be it in-universe or behind the scenes/real world. Information for TV story articles ''primarily'' comes from the TV stories themselves, the synopsis and the plot are written by someone based on said story being viewed, observations are made for the references section. | |||
:A story is viewed by multiple people and they all bring observations to it and the writing of the article, but one crucial part of this process is '''to have seen the story'''. And as CzechOut has reminded us we all make mistakes and it takes many people having ''seen'' the story to make observations about it, we can't all see/read/watch/listen to everything. | |||
:To TheTARDIScontrolller, the article when it's created/unlocked will need to be inline with our [[Tardis:Spoiler policy]] in that information is presented following the first broadcast of the story, wherever in the world that may be. The 23rd April is when the story is to be broadcast in both the US and the UK. However the given that the US and UK exist within different timezones, the UK will still show it before the US, by a few hours. At 6pm when the story is screened in the UK it will be 1pm (23rd April) in the US (Washington) [http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=23rd+April+6pm+UK+US see here for more info UK-US time info]. When it screens in the US at 9pm on the 23rd April it will be 2am (24th April) in the UK [http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=23rd+April+9pm+US++UK and here for the US-UK time info]. | |||
:I do ''understand'' the desire for fans to discuss and add observations of the trailer/synopsis/spoiler photos etc ''somewhere'', but that's not what '''this wiki''' is for there's Gallifrey Base and Doctor Who Online and there's plenty of other forums and other sites out there for discussion of that nature. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 15:51, April 18, 2011 (UTC) |
