Cosplay a-go-go

Recently did a Tenth Doctor cosplay at a convention I attended. Made a photo-journal style story to go along with the pictures I had taken. Just a goofy little thing really, but hopefully entertaining for a few who check it out. :) --Colleyd 18:55, 25 November 2007 (UTC)Woof

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:

Hey

Whats up? Alright I will make a deal with you if you help me with the Tenth Doctor page I won't erase the episode names except once which will be when I print the page out. Do we have a deal? Please leave a message on my talk page no body is talking to me.--The 10th Doctor 00:12, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry. If you're wanting to print out a copy of the page, then copy the text to a notepad file and make the changes to that. There's no need to edit an entire page just so you can print it out, when there are far more easier and logical ways to do it. --Colleyd 22:59, 12 October 2007 (UTC)Colleyd

Big Finish Audio Dramas

Just wanted to say nice work...Just a few notes. Generally speaking for setting it should be Planet (first), and then work down to specifics...ie Earth, England, London, 1976 (etc). Up to your discretion how specific but that's the general order.

Also in the 'Writer' area of the infobox I've noticed several stories have 'from a story by "writer's name"', as far as I'm aware the only writer/story to get that credit is Renaissance of the Daleks all the other writers have written their stories, phrasing it 'from a story by...' sort of implies that they didn't. (Sorry to sort of point out all this in one go). --Tangerineduel 14:49, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

One additional thing, the bigfinish page link should be www.bigfinish.com rather than www.doctorwho.co.uk as that just leads to a 'The page cannot be found' page. Thanks --Tangerineduel 14:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! Seeing as how the BFA's were my first real exposure to the Who-verse, I've been trying to do them credit. I wasn't sure of the specifics on the setting, but I'll keep that in mind from now on.

Regarding the writer section, that happened as a result of me essentially C&Ping the previous audio page to work from for the next one. Since I started with Renaissance of the Daleks, all the others had the infobox from that one as their template afterwards. As for the links, the doctorwho.co.uk address was active as a redirect to Big Finish at the time of the usage. I meant to go back and update the ones that had it, but never got around to it unfortunately.

And no problem in pointing it all out in one go. This is the only wiki I've ever really done work on, so knowing what works and what doesn't is actually a good thing. :) --Colleyd 16:34, 12 January 2008 (UTC)Woof.

Big Finish Name Confusion

In the first four pages for the Companion Chronicles audios, you spelled the name of the same person two different ways "Lawrence Oakely" and "Lawrence Oakley". Please correct as soon as possible. Thank you. Doug86 11:29, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

RE: Audio Help!

No Problem I prefer to listen to stories with the Classic Doctors rather than the New series So big Finish is really handy although living in australia i have only recently found a store that sells them (Currently up to around #19) so i don't know how much help i can be most of my edits have been reformatting the Big Finish page, adding new info on upcoming audio and the occasional audio page Dark Lord Xander 06:44, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok i should be able to finish the formatting today and begin to look into the other things Dark Lord Xander 23:53, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

I Have Finished the Formatting on the Main page and added the cast list for the two Excelis stories from which it was missing. I plan to Format the Big Finish Spin off page and possibly the Summerfield adventures as for focusing our edits i think one of us needs to create a subpage to use as a checklist or project page so we can list everything than needs to be done what are your thoughts ? Dark Lord Xander 00:57, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Just thought I'd put in a word of praise to both of you. Great work (especially putting the copyright tags on all those images), you've both Dark Lord Xander and Colleyd been doing a lot of stuff that's been on my 'to do list'...but haven't actually done for a while now. --Tangerineduel 17:44, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Big Finish Audio Drama image category thing

Re, my talk page. Do you mean just changing the category to be audio drama specific? Instead of just 'Big Finish covers' (which now that I look at it is possibly a slight oversight. If so yeah that's fine. If not (and I've got the wrong end of the stick)...ummm try and explain it to me again (I often read things several times and then totally miss what's being asked). --Tangerineduel 14:53, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Project Page

Since the Audio section is really coming along i think its time to create a project page although I don't know how so i was hoping you could do it :) Dark Lord Xander 09:43, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Nice Work :) --Dark Lord Xander 10:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Keys 2 Time Covers

Just a note the images you uploaded were place holder images not the real covers. I have uploaded the correct covers. --Dark Lord Xander 06:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Christmas cheer

Happy holidays!

As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.

This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!

We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.

2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!
