Hey there Boris, I'm just remembering that I was supposed to ask you to briefly weigh in on a minor dispute between myself and Scrooge over at ''[[Faction Paradox (series)|Faction Paradox]]''. It's really a minor thing, hence why I forgot about it, but could you do me the favor of reading [https://twitter.com/The_Beasthouse/status/1401654193312706562 this four-tweet thread] and decide which of [[Special:Diff/3134102|these descriptions]] is a better description? It's practically a distinction without a difference, and feel free to take your time with getting around to it. Just crossing my t's and dotting my i's! – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 14:18, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Boris,


== ''Dimensions in Time'' thread  ==
I know that you are the go-to person for TV Century 21-related stuff, would you be able to pop over to that page's talkpage when you have a moment as I have posed a question about the missing stories. Thank you! [[User:RadMatter|RadMatter]] [[User talk:RadMatter|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:37, 20 January 2022 (UTC)


I see you like your invalid sources, perhaps you might like to take a look at this thread http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:211495 just here. [[Special:Contributions/82.3.146.201|82.3.146.201]]<sup>[[User talk:82.3.146.201#top|talk to me]]</sup> 18:09, February 25, 2017 (UTC)
== Re: The Hollow Crown ==


== Questions ==
Appoligies, the new wiki software slightly hid you message. The Kingmaker isn't an audio that I listen to that often, for me it doesn't live up to the hype and high regard most fans seem to hold it in, for me it is rather boring. The Hollow Crown is more connected to the TV story the Shakespeare code (and also the Day of the Doctor) as there are mentions that the Doctor the Queen Elizabeth and Shakespeare knew is different to the one they knew, i.e. 10. The uncut version of Richard III is about reinstating the cuts the Elizabeth ordered to keep up the propaganda about her bloodline. This may correlate to events in the Kingmaker, but to be fair there are so many discontinuities in the whoniverse that disregarding an ubsurd story of the Kingmaker to fit in with the TV series, given that the audience would probably come to the David Bradley range from the TV series. Hope that helps. '''[[User:AdricLovesNyssa|Adric♥Nyssa]]'''∩''[[User_talk:AdricLovesNyssa|Talk?]]'' 11:00, 10 June 2022 (UTC)


Hello! I was to first off thank you so much for contributing so many fine images to this wikia. Article illustrations are so important, and invalid stories are so often left to the side. I do have a few questions about the stories you've presented, since it appears that you're the only person who has seen many of these.
== For(u)m Letter ==


My first question comes down to the Facebook-only Zygon segments. How much do these adaptations entail? Audio, narration? If so, one could likely make the case that the stories are very much novelisations, and thus should not be invalid. Of course we would need to have a discussion about this, and I am just inquiring on the details of the story in case we ever want to go down the route.
Hey there, I hope your Halloween was decent. As you might know, we've not had forums for over two years at this point. A few of the regular editors have been having a discussion on this topic at [[Forum talk:Index]] and we'd like the input of other prominent editors if you have the inclination. Cheers.

The one that certainly hooks me the most is ''[[Christmas Past (webcast)|Christmas Past]]'', which is the second LEGO product to feature DWU characters, and it's also the only DWU Lego product to be produced through stop-frame animation. My question is this: have you seen the suggested original upload which was not part of a collage? The one that was actually called ''Christmas Past''? Surely you must get your info from somewhere.
== BBC DVD covers ==


If you have, what do Clara and the Doctor watch on the TV in the original? The answer to this could be very important, as it could decide if the story is declared an ''advertisement'' or not. If they watch an ad, then it simply can't be valid according to our policy (we've, at one point or another, come to the conclusion that ads are not stories). But if they watch something else, then it's a whole other ball-park.
Hi, I've been gathering every BBC DVD cover image on the wiki into one of my sandboxes, in order to see where there are any missing covers or duplicates.


If you see any other story where you think there's the case to be make for the story to be valid despite it being a "sketch" or such and such, hit me up with that info and we can chat over it. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|Talk]]) 22:18, March 13, 2017 (UTC)
Pop over and have a look, and feel free to upload any of the missing covers.


== Re: images ==
[[User:Doc77can/sandbox12]]


Hi! You can always go to [[Special:Recentchanges]] to find the specific reasons for deletions. I've deleted a bunch of images over the last couple of weeks, but I believe that the ones I did recently were mostly >100kb, when we require images to be <100kb. I also deleted one that had no license, but I can't remember whose it was. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:43, March 15, 2017 (UTC)
P.S. I'm messaging several users so check the upload log first.


== Infobox Merchandise ==
[[User:Doc77can|Doc77can]] [[User talk:Doc77can|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:26, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
Heya :) Thanks for your recent edits. :) Just wanted to let you know, though, that {{tlx|Infobox Merchandise}} really isn't meant to be used the way you're using it.  It's supposed to be for toys, games, wearables, edibles even -- but not for ranges of narratives (or ads or near-narratives). 


I'll soon be introducing a new infobox for ranges, but understand that in the past we've implicitly agreed ''not'' to have a infobox on pages like ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and ''[[Torchwood]]''. And I'm still not super-convinced it's a great idea on the novel ranges, cause names like [[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures]] aren't ''actually'' official.
== Tobolsk / Tobolski ==
 
Hi, just wanted to let you know that someone has been "busy" at [[Tobolsk]] and [[Tobolski]] and the other relevant pages, moving things around w.r.t the multiple name spellings, and now I'm not sure what's meant to be what anymore. Interestingly they've also been at it over at [https://thunderbirds.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/91.46.40.176 TB Wiki]. Also I think that the IP user, "Derbstek" and "Marcus Tobolski" are all the same person so I'm not sure if [[T:SOCK]] is relevant here. [[user:guyus24|guyus24]] ([[user talk:guyus24|talk]]) 02:57, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
But that's maybe a slightly different question. Until the new infobox comes in, though, please stop using {{tlx|Infobox Merchandise}} for describing any sort of narrative/video/advertising range. Thanks! :) {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 18:19: Mon 24 Apr 2017</span>
 
== New editor bug ==
Yeah, I can confirm it's definitely weird and a bug. But the code that does that little thing isn't local to Tardis. So I'll have to go on a hunt elsewhere at Fandom to figure out what's going on. It's definitely on the list, if a little lower down. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 19:07: Mon 24 Apr 2017</span>
