|
| == Starman ==
| | Hello, User:Shambala108. |
| I was wondering if you could help me with something. I'm working on ''[[The Beast of Babylon (short story)|The Beast of Babylon]]'' right now and the main enemy is [[Starman (The Beast of Babylon)]]. However, his species is also a Starman, so I created [[Starman (species)]] and that's when I realized that there was also a [[David Bowie]] song called ''[[Starman]]''. I put a speedy rename request on that to change it to [[Starman (song)]] and since there's now three Starman pages, I know we'll also need a disambiguation page.
| |
|
| |
|
| However, the Ninth Doctor also refers to another Starman that he encountered and trapped in the twenty-sixth dimension and by doing so inadvertently created the [[Starman (The Beast of Babylon)]]. So how would I label a page for the Starman that's trapped in the twenty-sixth dimension, since they are both referenced in ''[[The Beast of Babylon (short story)|The Beast of Babylon]]'', but only one can have that page name?

| | Sorry to disturb you with this, but I felt you needed to be informed of this edit [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/The_Star_Beast_(TV_story)?diff=3662903&oldid=3662898 here], where, even after I informed them on what you once told me about how featuring is to only include recurring characters to prevent overcrowding, [[User:Epsilon the Eternal]] still readded a single episode character to the section, essentially because they were pivotal to the plot, and then justified it by saying that an admin's word is not policy and can be ignored (at least by my reading of their edit summery). And why the character in question, [[Rose Noble]], had showed up in a short story, they have ignored my explanation that the short story doesn't make her a recurring character due to it's nature as a prelude to the episode and my request for a few weeks of patience to see if she returns. |
| :All right, thank you!
| |
|
| |
|
| :And if it helps, I already did a WhatLinksHere search and there was only one Starman link on the David Bowie page, which I already changed (because it was suggested to do so on the speedy rename instruction page, if there were fewer than ten links). The only other link that now exists is the one in my last set of comments when I was explaining the Starman page issue.

| | I've actually been meaning to message you about them and their decorum for some time, but this blatant disregard towards your words has pushed me into action now. For the past few months, their edit summaries have included [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Fifteenth_Doctor?diff=prev&oldid=3660630 treating arguments against their edits as attacks on the merit of their opinion], [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Theory:Timeline_-_Fourteenth_Doctor?diff=prev&oldid=3659912 reverted edits based on actions not yet taken], [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Destination:_Skaro_(TV_story)?diff=prev&oldid=3659364 put "More to Added" on fully released articles instead of contributing themselves], [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Destination:_Skaro_(TV_story)?diff=prev&oldid=3656646 indulge in rude wording] [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Destination:_Skaro_(TV_story)?diff=prev&oldid=3656310 on multiple occasions] ([https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Solitract?diff=prev&oldid=3641225 even using the name of the Lord in vain]), and engaged in unneeded hostilities [https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Talk:Fourteenth_Doctor on talk pages]. |
| ::I was just thinking, the main enemy Starman is sometimes referred to as the Beast or the Great Beast by ancient Babylonians. He has no official name though and he's mainly referred to as the Starman, with the Beast and the Great Beast coming in as the next most used nicknames, respectively. (In the very latter part of the text.) I'm not sure how acceptable either of those would be though, since they aren't what he's primarily referred to as. But I guess it's something that could be considered since this is unique situation. But I can definitely work with your suggestion until something's decided. :) [[User:Mewiet|Mewiet]] [[User talk:Mewiet|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:51, November 10, 2013 (UTC) | |

| == Request for the Doctor Who Page ==
| | I was hoping to ask if you could have a word with them, if it's not to much trouble, to inform them on proper Wiki etiquette towards other editors, and to avoid getting to personal in their edit summaries, and to remind them of why the featuring section on story pages is just for recurring characters. |
| Hey, I found this picture of a British Paper from 1963 talking about Doctor Who as an '''upcoming''' television series. The article was '''written 2 days before the premiere of ''An Unearthly Child'''''

|
| Fingers are crossed that they find more lost episodes... I'm re-watching the classic series (still on season 1) and it's a shame that Marco Polo was never recovered.. which is peculiar because out of all the missing episodes, it was broadcast in the largest number of foreign stations. If we find another episode.. I'm putting my bet on this episode.
| | Thank you for your time. |

Citing the word of an admin while it might seem like the 'voice of the flying spaghetti monster' in terms of resolving or justifying an edit, however it is better to be citing a policy or discussion. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 01:49, 30 November 2023 (UTC) |

[http://tardis.wikia.com/index.php?title=The_Day_of_the_Doctor_%28TV_story%29&diff=1594820&oldid=1594678 In fact, he suggests the opposite: "...replacing murky language that was written as if this were an in-universe language. we can speak in a normal voice on a story page."] Now, you may ''prefer'' it to be in-universe, but there is no rule saying that this must be so, and when trying to write a point on a story page in a way that connects this to another ''story page'', out-of-universe points are ''by far'' more effective. TV story pages are to be written in an out-of-universe fashion, no matter the section. Now, I don't wish to start an edit war, but based on Czech's higher jurisdiction judgment, I will now be moving that point back.

| Could we have the talk page for [[Peter Capaldi]] unlocked, please? Talk pages must never be locked anyway because that's where people can request changes be made. For example, the use of the phrase "wordless" in describing Capaldi's appearance in DOTD is debateable as there are published reviews in reputable media that have indicated it is Capaldi saying the words "No, sir, all 13". Even if this is not the case, this needs to be indicated in the article. There may well be other corrections worthy of suggestion. Locking the main article is no problem, but talk pages should never be locked down. Thanks.

| | Yes, I know what you mean about the loading times. My experience on mobile viewing is atrocious for the long character articles and editing on mobile is near-impossible for me on them because it seems to crash or be so long to respond to the changes, even in source editor. Hence, I near-exclusively edit on desktop these days. I completely understand why editors appear apathetic to the change though; perhaps its the perks of superior internet speed or something, but these long articles do make editing a chore sometimes, necessitating having to edit solely in sections rather than whole page edits. |

| | From what [[User:Bongolium500]] sent me, it appears there's still the intention for the articles to be trimmed down as the template requests, it just seems no one - or very few editors - are actually bothering to do it, hence the templates remaining after 3 and a bit years of its request being placed. Same could be said for the CS link conversion since a mix of editors still use variants of the old format. If the task to do it is still needed though, and hence isn't going to be a waste of my time, I can begin implementing the change. |

| == Implications of The Gift ==
| |
| Hey, so ''[[The Gift (short story)|The Gift]]'' was released in 2005. Yet Doctors who weren't even created until later than that are now said on the wiki to have attended [[the Brig]]'s funeral. I've got someone asking me if that means Capaldi was there too. I have to believe that's impossible, because then Eleven wouldn't have believed that he was going to die a natural death in ''Time of the Doctor''. Could you please re-read the passage where the Doctor says his other selves are there for the exact language. Is there any interpretation of the passage which puts a limitation on the number of incarnations involved? Or can the whole volume of ''[[Short Trips: The History of Christmas]]'' be said to chronicle only the adventures of One-Eight? {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 15:30: Mon 06 Jan 2014</span>

| == Production errors ==
| |
| Regarding the recent deletion of my contributions regarding the Tardis prop, although, I would agree perhaps regarding the Unearthly Child contribution concerning the differing props and changes. I beg to differ on the War Machines production error of the difference between film and studio sequence when the Tardis prop altered. I.e. as this is a glaring error this contribution should have remained. Example: why have you kept my contribution regarding The Enemy of World, regarding the 'Pull to Open' sign appearing on the wrong side of the door?
| |
| | |
| By definition 'Production Errors' are whereby an on screen mistake has occurred that should not have happened, therefore, in continuity terms a lock changing sides in a matter of a few minutes of the same scene, whether part location or studio, is in my opinion a production error, rather than the comment you made on my talk page about "cardboard Daleks and tardis prop model changes". That particular glaring error is as significant as a boom microphone in shot and/or creased photo roundels backdrop visable in shot stated in an article I noticed in the 'production error' note in Unearthly Child.

| Thank you for your extremely prompt reply to my enquiry. I really appreciate and understand your answers to my concerns etc. I shall take a look at your suggestions, as I am relatively new to this wiki and naturally on a 'learning curve' regarding the policies of this particular Wiki. I assure you I will abide to the rules and make posts and information within the correct sections in the future, and only too pleased to receive feedback and guidance in any future errors or mistakes that I may possibly make in the future. I am also very interested in making further contributions to this extremely informative and interesting medium regarding my passion that is, Doctor Who, even at my 'old age'!

| I completely understand that it is difficult regarding the admin side and up-keep of this Wiki, and sincerely hope this Wiki keeps the numbers of admin editors to an efficient level, rather than too many 'chiefs and not enough Indians', as I have observed in Wikipedia, as my experience as an author of an artical within Wikipedia has caused a number of problems when dealing with too many people who seem to contradict each other on the rules etc., but that is another story! Once again, thank you for your valuable and prompt help and input.

Something you might want to look into[[edit source]]
Hello, User:Shambala108.
Sorry to disturb you with this, but I felt you needed to be informed of this edit here, where, even after I informed them on what you once told me about how featuring is to only include recurring characters to prevent overcrowding, User:Epsilon the Eternal still readded a single episode character to the section, essentially because they were pivotal to the plot, and then justified it by saying that an admin's word is not policy and can be ignored (at least by my reading of their edit summery). And why the character in question, Rose Noble, had showed up in a short story, they have ignored my explanation that the short story doesn't make her a recurring character due to it's nature as a prelude to the episode and my request for a few weeks of patience to see if she returns.
I've actually been meaning to message you about them and their decorum for some time, but this blatant disregard towards your words has pushed me into action now. For the past few months, their edit summaries have included treating arguments against their edits as attacks on the merit of their opinion, reverted edits based on actions not yet taken, put "More to Added" on fully released articles instead of contributing themselves, indulge in rude wording on multiple occasions (even using the name of the Lord in vain), and engaged in unneeded hostilities on talk pages.
I was hoping to ask if you could have a word with them, if it's not to much trouble, to inform them on proper Wiki etiquette towards other editors, and to avoid getting to personal in their edit summaries, and to remind them of why the featuring section on story pages is just for recurring characters.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
BananaClownMan ☎ 04:34, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi, Shambala. There's the potential for an edit war at Beep the Meep. Wondering if you could help resolve it. Jack "BtR" Saxon ☎ 22:25, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
I've looked through your cited page above, and looked over the linked examples.
I'm also aware of both editors' edits throughout the past few years, although acknowledge I've not been as active as I had been in the past.
I generally come at this from the perspective of 'is there a policy I can point to for a reason for this edit'. Epsilon does cite many of their edits regarding a policy. However the edit summary war is something that cannot continue, it's a nightmare to cite any discussion and it's not what the summaries are for regardless.
I'm unsure on a few of the cited issues by Banana, but can see how they may find some things vexatious.
I think all users can have their issues, and while Epsilon has had a few citations against them in the past, there have been extraneous circumstances around those in some regards.
We've not had a proper forum to engage new policies for in some time, and that's where rulings should come into play. Citing a reason for an edit especially something which might result in an edit war over inclusion of a character (or not) should be backed up by a talk page decision, forum or policy. Citing the word of an admin while it might seem like the 'voice of the flying spaghetti monster' in terms of resolving or justifying an edit, however it is better to be citing a policy or discussion. --Tangerineduel / talk 01:49, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Trying to locate a missing thread[[edit source]]
Hell there. Hope all is well. I was wondering if you could help me with a query concerning a missing thread I am having trouble locating that is listed on several incarnations of the Doctor's articles. The thread I am referring to is mentioned as follows in the template on the articles's lede section:
As detailed at Thread:264489, character pages should only have AT MOST 2-3 sentences per story, not whole paragraphs of plot detail. This page needs a major cleanup in that area.
As you can see though, this link to said thread is red, hence doesn't take me anywhere when I click it.
Per some users (anonymous editors) removing it from the page, I began to do some digging as to the thread itself, in preparation for setting myself on the task of shortening down the Doctor articles myself in time, having already began work doing so with the CS links per my conversation with User:Scrooge MacDuck. In doing so, I discovered you are the one who added said template onto the Doctor articles back in 2020 (see the following link as an example: https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Twelfth_Doctor?diff=prev&oldid=3015495 )
Therefore, are you able to provide me information as to the thread itself or link me to the archive where it is stored? I don't want to trouble myself shortening all the articles if this thread has been superceded or reverted, hence does not actually have to be acted upon now. In which case, I could take to removing the templates from the Doctor's articles instead.
Looking forward to your reply. Snivy ✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦ 17:01, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- On this subject Shambala, it does still apply, it's just sorta been rolled into the broader reforms discussed in Forum:Temporary forums/Subpages 2.0, as Bongo alluded to on Snivy's talk. The work here has really been touch and go, but it's very much live policy, just a real headache to implement. And archived forum threads from the 2012-2020 forums are at User:SOTO/Forum Archive. (Well, okay, it's a bit more complicated than that, because there are actually some forum archives that can only be accessed through URLs and not that index. But it's pretty obvious where to look if you pay attention to the URLs.) Najawin ☎ 05:30, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
Yes, I know what you mean about the loading times. My experience on mobile viewing is atrocious for the long character articles and editing on mobile is near-impossible for me on them because it seems to crash or be so long to respond to the changes, even in source editor. Hence, I near-exclusively edit on desktop these days. I completely understand why editors appear apathetic to the change though; perhaps its the perks of superior internet speed or something, but these long articles do make editing a chore sometimes, necessitating having to edit solely in sections rather than whole page edits.
From what User:Bongolium500 sent me, it appears there's still the intention for the articles to be trimmed down as the template requests, it just seems no one - or very few editors - are actually bothering to do it, hence the templates remaining after 3 and a bit years of its request being placed. Same could be said for the CS link conversion since a mix of editors still use variants of the old format. If the task to do it is still needed though, and hence isn't going to be a waste of my time, I can begin implementing the change.
