Your account

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:

• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial

Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this:

Kettlewell

Is Kettlewell actually in Who Killed Kennedy, or is he just mentioned?----Skittles the hog--Talk 19:50, March 10, 2011 (UTC)

Historical features and events

Heya Gus :) Thanks for your recent help in updating pages that have to do with historical events and people. However, I must ask you to please be careful about pulling information from real world history. I note, for instance, that you've recently added birth and death dates to Richard I of England. These dates cannot be supported by the episode (or novelisation) in question. You should only add information which is explicit (or easily calcuable) from info actually given in a story. Take a look, for example, at Marco Polo for a clear example of why we should use dates given in stories rather than real world historical info. Thanks!

I, Davros and Genesis of the Daleks date.

I'm a bit puzzled where you're getting 15th century from? There doesn't appear to be anything noted on the story pages to indicate they should be in this category. So, I'm just curious as to where this date has come from? --Tangerineduel / talk 14:17, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Unbroadcast stories

Hey there, sorry to bother you for a kind of trivial thing. The Tardis:Spoiler Policy states that we should not add information from a story that has not yet been broadcast so your recent addition of the Curse of Davros to Davros' appearances, however innocent the edit breaches that policy. On another note, your edits to Big Finish related articles recently has been superb, keep up the good work! --Revan\Talk 21:52, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
