Hello to everyone.
{{resize|200%|Welcome, and hello.}}
I've been fan for a long while, and this wiki lets me indulge in a slightly obsessive passion.


==List of stuff I've created or edited quite a bit==
I'm an [[Tardis:Administrators|admin]].  
This would be a very long list, which I can't be bothered creating.
To put simply I've created most (and added to) all the [[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures]] pages.


I've also brought all the [[Virgin New Adventures]] pages up to pretty much the same standard.
I've editing this wiki for quite some time (not quite from the start though).  


===Other Pages/Articles of note===
I'm not as active as I was when I first started editing, time and all that wears one down a little bit. Since [[Tardis:Forking announcement|the fork]] I've tried to pop in more often.
*[[Big Finish - Doctor Who Audio Dramas]]
*[[Big Finish - Explored Worlds]]


These two pages I created to differentiate (and give a dedicated article) for the Big Finish audio dramas, separate from [[List of Audio Stories]].
I mostly do admin-y things like going through [[:Category:Maintenance|maintenance categories]], checking articles that have long had the various maintenance tags on them and following up actions on those.


Also within the Explored Worlds page I created and wrote:
I make mistakes. I usually fix them. If not tell me.
:* [[Dalek Empire (audio series)]]
::* [[Dalek Empire I]]
::* [[Dalek Empire II: Dalek War]]
::* [[Dalek Empire III]]
Plus all the stories contained within the Dalek Empire articles.


:* [[Cyberman (audio series)]]
If there's an active talk page discussion that I've missed please feel free to point me towards it.
:* [[U.N.I.T. (audio series)]]
:* [[I, Davros]]
Plus all the pages within these.


I've also created the main page for the [[Sarah Jane Smith (audio series)]], and will get to making pages for the stories contained within those (in due time).
==My 'try to do list'==
If I'm looking for stuff to do it's often the [[:Category:Proposed mergers|Proposed mergers category]] that I try to go through. I will often respond to talk pages that may have had merger tags left on them for some time. So check back if you tagged a page for merge occasionally, someone (likely me) may have left a message.  


There's also [[Big Finish - Bernice Summerfield Series]], created mainly because there wasn't a single page that grouped all the Bernice Summerfield stories published by Big Finish together.
I also try to go through the various other sub-categories of the [[:Category:Maintenance|Maintenance category]], attempting to make my way through backlogs of various maintenance tags that have been added, but not dealt with further. This may involve adding queries to talk pages, and sometimes removing tags without action.
I also created the list of [[Virgin Bernice Summerfield New Adventures]] and am slowly creating pages for each of the books in that list, so far I've created and filled in details for [[Oh No It Isn't!]] to [[Beige Planet Mars]].


I've also been working to make sure that any novels, audios and TV shows all conform to the Manual of Style.
==Category links==
*[[Special:LonelyPages]]
*[[:Category:Articles in need of major additions]]


*Also I'm quite please with [[The Dark Dimension]], mainly because it's all accurately researched with proper referencing and all that jazz.
==Various subpages and other work==
*[[User talk:Tangerineduel/Archive - Wiki formatting]] - Mostly information relating to formatting issues, all other responses removed.
*[[User:Tangerineduel/Test page]] - Old citation policy 2010
*[[User:Tangerineduel/Sandbox]] - Old reference books policy WIP-2012

*[[User:Tangerineduel/Sandbox 13]] - Concept for references section category linking
*[[User:Tangerineduel/Sandbox 14]] - Tardis manual additions page writing
*[[User:Tangerineduel/Sandbox 15]]


I also created the [[Alcohol]], [[Tea]], and [[Coffee]] pages which I'm also quite happy with (and all the useless knowledge they bring).
==Research reminders==
*[[:Category:Numbers]] - check layout / formatting of pages
*[[:Category:Number plates]] - check and do something meaningful / properly link all these.
*[[:Category:Cooking appliances]]
*[[:Category:Concepts]] - needs diffusion, needs checking - many pages that are stubs, not tagged
*[[:Category:Emotions]] - pages need reformatting, separating out info.
*[[:Category:Fashion and clothing from the real world]] - pages need checking for layout adding dates etc, category needs diffusion.


==Recent Work==
===Articles to research===
Lately I've added image covers to all the Big Finish audio drama releases and EDAs.
*[[Art]]
*[[Bag]]
*[[Service station]]
*[[Trainer]]


Also created a page for [[Webcast]]s, and dedicated pages for all four BBCi Webcasts ([[Death Comes to Time (webcast)]], [[Shada (webcast)]], [[Real Time (webcast)]], [[Scream of the Shalka (webcast)]].
===Tidy up, maybe big edit===
*[[Alcohol]]


==Novels==
===Stubs===
:Hi, sorry, about that. yes I know about the titles bits (and the TV movie), I wanted to save what I had done before being called away, rest assured they will be tidied up in the next day or so before linking to the correct pages. My printers playing up now and it was time consuming to keep going back. I do have a question, (so as not to disappoint you!). Is there a way of locating and renaming some of the images I uploaded without having to re-upload them, just for convienience and ease of use later!(I got a bit careless, sorry, in the naming typing. Not used to using`_` yet?
*[[:Category:Character stubs]] needs diffusion and maybe separate stub template or something? Modify character stub tag to target further sub-categories?
:Oh and I'm well pleased I found out where and what the `|` is and does!! Clever thing this wiki really. Never ceases to surprise me, yet. Apart from the vandal yesterday. I wasn't sure what to do, but I did manage to undo the wiping of the Main page, hopefully it didn't put anyone off. [[User:82.29.184.175|82.29.184.175]] 17:26, 29 August 2007 (UTC) Actually I'll do that now!


:As far as renaming the page...I don't think so, I think we either live with the image names as they are or alternatively if you want mark them with a <nowiki>{{proposed deletion}}</nowiki> (and I'll delete them) if you want to re-upload them. I think as long as they're around (somewhere) there aren't too many problems with however they're named (I mean as long as there's an example of them being used so people can see it it doesn't quite matter what they're called).
==Cleanup and update reminders==
::There's usually someone around that deals with the vandals (but yes re-editing the page is usually what's best to do). Most likely an admin will block the offending user. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 17:42, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Welcome, and hello.

I'm an admin.

I've editing this wiki for quite some time (not quite from the start though).

I'm not as active as I was when I first started editing, time and all that wears one down a little bit. Since the fork I've tried to pop in more often.

I mostly do admin-y things like going through maintenance categories, checking articles that have long had the various maintenance tags on them and following up actions on those.

I make mistakes. I usually fix them. If not tell me.

If there's an active talk page discussion that I've missed please feel free to point me towards it.

My 'try to do list'[[edit] | [edit source]]

If I'm looking for stuff to do it's often the Proposed mergers category that I try to go through. I will often respond to talk pages that may have had merger tags left on them for some time. So check back if you tagged a page for merge occasionally, someone (likely me) may have left a message.

I also try to go through the various other sub-categories of the Maintenance category, attempting to make my way through backlogs of various maintenance tags that have been added, but not dealt with further. This may involve adding queries to talk pages, and sometimes removing tags without action.

  • Create a top category template: examples of to include:
Planets is a top-level category. It should not contain, via subcategories, information about the culture, society or geography of planets. Rather, it should be strictly about the planets themselves. Individual pages that are in this category are those which cannot be placed into this category's subpages.

  • Images for all the random stub tags

I've also done some work on the Blake's 7 Wiki fixing it up to a point where it's got all the basics in place. Please go and make some edits. It's all there, more or less, or was the last time I visited.
