Trenzalore was a place that, according to Dorium Maldovar, would be where the First Question in the Universe would be answered truthfully. The Doctor would arrive there at some point in his travels, at the fall of the Eleventh. The religious order known as the Silence was determined to ensure that the Doctor never reached Trenzalore.

apparent that Sirius has been in contact with humanity for a long time. According to George Hunt Williamson (one of the early contactees) in his book "Other Tongues, Other Flesh,"[2] the earth allies of Sirius, i.e., the secret societies, use the Eye of Horus as an insignia. This symbol has also been seen on the MIB. Secret societies believe that there is a Great White Lodge on earth. They call it Shamballa -- and consider it to be the spiritual center of the world. Now, theosophists such as Alice Bailey say that the Great White Lodge is on Sirius. If the All-Seeing-Eye is a symbol of Sirius' earth-allies and the MIB wear that symbol, and if Shamballa represents the Great White Lodge on earth -- then the MIB are emissaries of Shamballa. Sirius and Shamballa are two sides of the same coin. This is verified in the book "The Undiscovered Country,"[3] by Stephen Jenkins. Jenkins was told by Buddhist priests that Shamballa was located in the constellation of Orion.

trans-Himalayan region. Some assert it is in the heart of the Gobi Desert (where there have been allegations of crashed disks and bases). According to the explorer Nicholas Roerich, there are caves in the Himalayas foothills that have subterranean passages. In one of the these passages, there is a stone door that has never been opened, because the time for its opening has not yet arrived. In 1930, Doreal founded the Brotherhood of the White Temple. He says that the entrance to Shamballa is far underground. he goes on to say that space bends around Shamballa, and that there is a warp which leads into another universe.
Hey, I left my thoughts on the Face tendril page. Thanks for keeping me informed. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 13:21, May 27, 2010 (UTC)


:Next time, if there's a redirect, as there was, just ask an admin (such as me or Doug86) to move the page to it, rather than moving it to a ''similar'' article name. This just means we have to move the article ''again''. The article has been moved to [[Multi-form]] (admins need to do this because it involves deleting the redirect prior to the move). (I left a comment rather than move the article as I was unsure if you wanted further discussion or whatever) Thanks. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 13:29, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

::I wasn't critising (or trying to discourage you), in fact most pages ''can'' be moved by anyone. It's only if what you're trying to move it to already exists (as a redirect or otherwise) an admin needs to duck in and delete the page so the page you're trying to move can go there.

:Ditto.  Oh, you may want to know that we've just this weekend updated our archiving templates.  So if you want to make them compatible with the archive tool you can find under this page's edit drop down, just replace all your architecture at the top of the page with the simple template {{tl|ArchCat}}.  ON your individual archives, you can replace what you have now with {{tl|ArchPage}}.  If you want :)  Note, however, that these templates will continue to be supported and upgraded in the future, whereas the ones you're currently using may be subject to deletion, as they're not compatible with the current automatic archiving system.  Anyway, thanks and good luck at DWA. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}'''18:22:59 Sun&nbsp;'''04 Sep 2011&nbsp;</span>


My PC crashed a few months ago, I get it back up, the nature of this wiki has changed. First of all the page is in the wrong tense it should be the time field was not the time crack is. It is written in the wrong manual of style. I am going to change it to past tense not present tense. --Catkind121 13:15, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

I'm unable to leave a message on your user talk page at DW Answers because you have the page sysop locked, for some reason. I know that Answers sites take a lot of fly-by vandalism, but you might want to consider whether it's wise the lead admin to be unreachable by normal talk page communication.  But I digress. To celebrate the clean sweep you're proposing, I've dashed off a new wordmark for you that'll work better with really any background, but especially dark ones.  I created [http://drwho.answers.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:New_logo a forum post] about it and alerted your other bureaucrats to it.  If you don't like it, I certainly won't be offended if you don't use it. But a transparent wordmark of ''some'' kind would probably be more flexible than the current, white-backgrounded design.


:No. The cracks are am in-universe article and therefore are in the past tense.
And, not that I'm one of your admins or anything, but your suggestion to just nuke the questions you have and start afresh is a '''fantastic''' idea. However, it might be wise to spend the next week or so getting some policies in order.  Seriously, have you checked out BC's jaw-dropping revisions to the blocking policy?  You might want, also, to have some concrete guidelines for how you'd like questions asked and answered.  What format should the pages in your [[namespace]] 0 take?  Give some practical examples of good and bad ways to phrase questions. Show people whether you want to separate individual answers with horizontal lines, indentation or headings.  Then, after you're sure you've explained the basics, drop the nuclear bomb and regenerate the site. In other words, '''absolutely''' get rid of those 5000+ pages, but have a clear set of guidelines for how the site is going to run.
:The term ongoing events is referring to articles like the [[Series 5 (Doctor Who)]] article which has the [[Template:Current event]] tag on it, or articles relating to ongoing concerns like [[Steven Moffat]]'s page where he is currently the Executive Producer of the Doctor Who.  
:With regards to in-universe articles on-going is a purely subjective term because all in-universe articles are written with the perspective from the very end of the universe where all in-universe events are in the past.  
:The stories that make up the sources for the Time Field article are either broadcast or ''yet to be broadcast'' and as you shouldn't cite yet to be broadcast/published stories as they can't be verified. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 13:48, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

Well, this rule has been in place since 7 June 2010.  So I'm pretty sure you've been around since it's been in force.  It's explained pretty exhaustively at [[T:SPOIL]].  But the basic deal is that spoilers are only allowed on the series page and any thread in [[Howling:The Howling|The Howling]].  So, [[Series 7 (Doctor Who 2005)]] is the only place for what you put at ''[[Doctor Who]]'' — and I'm fairly sure the series 7 page already had that.

In the case of the Time Field discussion (and in fact all article talk pages) the talk page ''should'' be used to discuss the editing of the article and how it's put together (or its name etc) rather than the theories and speculation that's crept in there. I've place the [[Template:Talk Page]] at the top (likely it will do nothing, but it serves to alert people and point towards The Howling). Thanks. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 14:34, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
How dare you call me vandalistic. I've done nothing of the sort. The last thing I did on here was Doctor Who-related and shouldn't have been deleted in the first place. Glad to see the deletion of the article was reversed.
 
== Protected articles. ==
 
Dear TTD.
 
 
A wiki is an encyclopedia in which people are aloud to edit. However, because people have been protecting articles, it is impossible to edit them. This takes the fun out of being a member of a wiki. Do something about it!

Trenzalore[[edit source]]

Trenzalore was a place that, according to Dorium Maldovar, would be where the First Question in the Universe would be answered truthfully. The Doctor would arrive there at some point in his travels, at the fall of the Eleventh. The religious order known as the Silence was determined to ensure that the Doctor never reached Trenzalore. (DW: The Wedding of River Song) [1] History

Let's regress for a moment back to the Men in Black(MIB). According to John Keel, the MIB often state that they are representatives of the "Nation of the Third Eye."

  Based on some of the info already researched, it is

apparent that Sirius has been in contact with humanity for a long time. According to George Hunt Williamson (one of the early contactees) in his book "Other Tongues, Other Flesh,"[2] the earth allies of Sirius, i.e., the secret societies, use the Eye of Horus as an insignia. This symbol has also been seen on the MIB. Secret societies believe that there is a Great White Lodge on earth. They call it Shamballa -- and consider it to be the spiritual center of the world.

If the All-Seeing-Eye is a symbol of Sirius' earth-allies and the MIB wear that symbol, and if Shamballa represents the Great White Lodge on earth -- then the MIB are emissaries of Shamballa. Sirius and Shamballa are two sides of the same coin. This is verified in the book "The Undiscovered Country,"[3] by Stephen Jenkins.

  The entrance to Shamballa on earth is usually placed in the

trans-Himalayan region. Some assert it is in the heart of the Gobi Desert (where there have been allegations of crashed disks and bases). According to the explorer Nicholas Roerich, there are caves in the Himalayas foothills that have subterranean passages.

Ditto. Oh, you may want to know that we've just this weekend updated our archiving templates. So if you want to make them compatible with the archive tool you can find under this page's edit drop down, just replace all your architecture at the top of the page with the simple template {{ArchCat}}.

If you want :) Note, however, that these templates will continue to be supported and upgraded in the future, whereas the ones you're currently using may be subject to deletion, as they're not compatible with the current automatic archiving system.

Spoilers[[edit source]]

Well, this rule has been in place since 7 June 2010. So I'm pretty sure you've been around since it's been in force. It's explained pretty exhaustively at T:SPOIL. But the basic deal is that spoilers are only allowed on the series page and any thread in The Howling. So, Series 7 (Doctor Who 2005) is the only place for what you put at Doctor Who — and I'm fairly sure the series 7 page already had that.

Although you should read the whole of T:SPOIL, you should probably pay special attention to T:SPOIL DEF T:OFFICIAL INFO and T:OFF REL.

Christmas cheer[[edit source]]

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!
