All who wish to be new recruits to the order should request to be added here. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 16:26, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I want to be a new recruit. What do I have to do to join? The End 1493 01:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Currently, the only things you have to do to join are to put your username with a link to your userpage in the relevant sections of the HTL page and Sichamousacoricothingmabob's main userpage. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 14:45, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Can I join? --Skittles the hog 13:06, 17 December 2007 (UTC) Hello?--Skittles the hog 14:48, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Hello?--Skittles the hog 18:30, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

See above. Sichamousacoricothingmabob hasn't been active on this wiki since 26th July 2007, so this project is basically inactive anyway. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 16:02, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, I've already put my name down and everything, but I suppose technically I should make a request here even if Sichamousacoricothingmabob is inactive. :-P --The Traveller 20:27, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Sichamousacoricothingmabob. Can I please join? :) Doc Who10 07:08, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Discussions on Purpose

According to te article on Time Lords:

The Time Lords and Time Ladies (sometimes called "Lords of Time" or, rarely, "Chronarchs") were the oligarchic rulers of the planet Gallifrey. They possessed the power and technology to travel through both time and space in their TARDISes.

Now what part of that refers to us?

Yes, I know the New Time Lord Order may one day be a major grouping of the Tardis:TARDIS crew members, but for now we're very little. And even if one day we do control (some of) it, so what? And as for advanced technology, I don't have a TARDIS, you claim yours has broken down, and TARDISes themselves are nearly extinct, so unless you can create more Tardis-coral... However, there is a third reason - to remake the Time Lords, a powerful group nonetheless. But apart from that... there isn't really much purpose of the H.T.Ls at the moment. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 16:24, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

What's the point?

Ultimately, what's the point in this? Yes, I know it'd be a good idea to create a new order of Time Lords, yet there are a few points about it:

• First of all, the Time Lords were the ruling class of Gallifrey. As far as I'm aware, the Human Time Lords aren't currently ruling anything.
• Second of all, the Time Lords had very advanced tech - TARDISes, stellar manipulators, interstellar travel, etc. The most advanced tech the Human Time Lords seem to have is computers. However, it should only be a few thousand years until Time Lord technolgy is within Humanity's metaphorical technological grasp, and I'm sure the Time Lords didn't have all their technology in their beginning.
• Third of all, can I join? If there's a better point than just to restart the Time Lords from scratch, then I'd like to be part of the New Time Lord Triumvirate. If fact, regardless of whether or not there's another point, I'd still like to be part of it. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 16:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Posted below is Si's reply on my talkpage:

• "First of all, the Time Lords were the ruling class of Gallifrey. As far as I'm aware, the Human Time Lords aren't currently ruling anything."

Just wait. eventually this wikia will be called "the Human Time Lord Wikia" .

• "Second of all, the Time Lords had very advanced tech - TARDISes, stellar manipulators, interstellar travel, etc. The most advanced tech the Human Time Lords seem to have is computers. However, it should only be a few thousand years until Time Lord technolgy is within Humanity's metaphorical technological grasp, and I'm sure the Time Lords didn't have all their technology in their beginning."

How do u know i haven't got a TARDIS, and Joker1138 claims to have one.--Si 20:23, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

You asked what we are supposed to do. well i think the best thing to do currently is to find anyone else who'd like to train to become one. their are 3 easy steps
1.ask if they want to do it.
2.put their name on the members list on both the list on my page ant the h.t.l page (i read somewhere u have to get permission to edit other people's user page so to to let u know u've got permission to edit it by adding names)
3. ask them on their infobox the add the fact their a human time lord (training).

Also i fegot to tell u this but if ur a h.t.l u have permission to edit the h.t.l page (for the right reasons obviously) and to edit the h.t.l section on my page to put members name on. p.s renember to tell any users u invite to h.t.l this. thx---Si 20:56, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Now a (slightly more detailed than the one on my talkpage) reply of mine to the above:

Alright:

• Perhaps... although because it isn't about Human Time Lords it should be "the Human Time Lords' Wikia".
• Well where's mine then? I'm one now so I should have one!
• Well, it's a start, but once we have enough Human Time Lords (say about six to ten) then what? Or will we decide when they've joined the order?
• How does the training take place / work?
• I've already edited some of it for grammar, so I hope you didn't mind.

~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 15:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• I found my /tardis. but it's not working propely yet. wish it would coz i'm always late for stuff. it seems Joker1138 has already got one and using it. ask him. while ur at it tell him i've been waiting for a reply to my invitation i sent him.
• Yeh i think 10 will be enough, although we won't stop their. yep. we will decide when they've joined the order.
• I'll think about what the training will be. it should be ready when we have 10 time lords. --Si 20:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay then. If I have any more ideas I'll post them here, okay? ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 20:54, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

The thing is though, even if this is going to be called the Human Time Lord's wikia, so what? So what if we own a small insignificant subsectoin of an illtrusted site? It means nothing really. What's so good? ---Camewel 18:57, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Discussions on Training

Here we should have some discussions on training, and how it should take place and what should happen. Because currently, I have no idea how it should work. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 16:24, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

it could be done as a quiz, or an exam to put it the formal way. ---Camewel 15:43, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

The thing is, what would we put on the exam? And should we have one or more than one? ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 16:13, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I haven't been about much, school exams, can see where u got the idea from Cam (just in case anyone didn't know he is in the same school), that wouldn't be a verry bad idea, see who knows most about it and reward them somehow (under the tearms of badges ect not real items.) ----Si Iway amway Ichamousacoricothingmabobsay. http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/e/e4/Si_HTL_Seal_Leader.PNG

However, what would be on the exam/quiz, should there me more than one and who would create them/it? ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 17:11, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I think that we should do like a few questions each and make it into one big test, with higher ranking members setting more questions and low ranking members who contribute less answering more, with like a best or worst table, showing who did best ---Camewel 23:13, 8 December 2007 (UTC) PS, where has everybody gone?

Maybe, although with very few members that wouldn't work very well at the moment. Maybe when we have more it might. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 06:52, 9 December 2007 (UTC) P.S: I'm still here, Si hasn't been active since July though (perhaps you should check on the other wikis he's active on).

Discussions between members

This is the place to talk to other H.T.Ls about anythything that is to do with the order and is not part of any of the things above.--Si 12:17, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Discussions between heads

Heads are in Italics. This section is the same as above, but between heads. any messages or over things you'd like to tell the heads, can also be put here.--Si 12:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC) P.S when u start a new discussion put a sub-sub-titel as this "date-subject" . --Si 12:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I've changed heads to another section of the members instead of being in italics for now, is that okay? ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 13:32, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

24.02.07-Promotion

Ghelæ would you like to be 2nd in command?--Si 12:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Fine by me. Thanks! ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 12:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Although if we have another leader, could you place me as the third, like Rassilon-Omega-Other? I don't like being, well, similar. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 17:50, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

24.02.07-logo

I'm thinking of making a logo on paint. what desighn would u suggest? pehaps earth with some random squibbles on it or can u think of any better?--Si 12:54, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll see if I can make one in paint, using "my own" set of symbols. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 13:33, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

It's not perfect (not even brilliant), but it's a start. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 13:59, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Here's my first test logo: ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 13:59, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think we should have the Tardis in their as it's the Doctor's Tardis. From reading the novilation of the claws of axos, when Axos captured the Master's Tardis, it was in the shape of a dome, is that the Tardis' default shape?--Si 14:05, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't know, according to the Gallifreyan Gardens article on this wiki, they naturally appear as a plain box, although that article isn't sourced and may just be fanon, so there's no way to check. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 14:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

do i have permission to download that image and tweak it a bit?--Si 14:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, sure, but try to save it as HTL_test_logo_2.JPG or HTL_test_logo_1.2.JPG or something slightly different. Not that I'm really bothered, it's just a test image and I could always reupload it if I cared. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 14:17, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Do u know where i could get some gallifreyan symbols as i think i'm nearley there.--Si 14:56, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

The only symbol I can find on the net is the Seal of Rassilon, but give me a minute, I think there may be another symbol somewhere on a game on the BBC website. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 15:03, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

No, nothing on the BBC website, they've taken the game off (it was one of the advent06 games). ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 15:07, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

What about these?--Si 14:01, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

They're a bit... busy. I'm personally starting to go off the Earth+symbols idea. Perhaps we should just do a version of the Seal of Rassilon? ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 14:02, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm......well if i'm the fouder then should i make a seal of Sichamousacoricothingmabob.--Si 14:04, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

And what would that look like? ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 14:08, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

This! I'm no sure about the backrouns couler though. what couler do u think I should use?

Hm, I think the colour's okay, but it just looks a little messy. I'll try to make a neater version of it now. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 19:10, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead!--Si 19:13, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Here it is, although I think it should a more symmetrical design like the original Seal of Rassilon myself, and personally I don't like the idea of the logo having the letters "I W", even though that is your Human pseudonym. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 19:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

How about this: --Si 19:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, but this has a neater "S I", although the "S" isn't as clearly an "S", if this is chosen as the final logo it could easily be changed. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 19:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I have to go now but how about this, it's basically both the 2 above merged, a cleaner "I" with my "SI" ontop. I'll have to reply tommorrow(or after as i have school) coz i got to go now, but their is that slight chance I might be able to come on before 9:00 GMT. see ya--Si 19:38, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Bye! So, for now, I'll just have a few independant attempts of my own... ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 19:41, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

How about these? ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 19:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Though it's none of my business, the second one looks good. Azes13 20:10, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Well the 1st one is gallifreyan and the secind one well.....possibly. I'll sleep on it.--Si 21:06, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

The second one, in case you didn't notice (even I'd have a hard time seeing it) is composed of a very anglular "H" underneath an angular "T" and an angular "L". ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 16:28, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I see. I think we'll have that as the logo then and then when we have more members we'll cast a vote =, what do you think?--Si 12:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I prefer the one that's currently at the bottom myself. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 14:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
PS: Azes13 has decided to create a Sovereign Earth Reptile Empire!

And as for the vote, yeah, okay. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 15:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

24.02.07-Other Members vs Members

I don't really like the name "other members" because if i were just a member i wouldn't like to be classified as "other" something do you get where i comming from.--Si 14:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I suppose, but until we have enough others we can't really group them as anything else. In theory, we could have scientific advisers, the outer and inner councils, etc, but not with only three official members. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 14:42, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

25.02.07-template

I've just found a template on Wikipedia, {{TARDIS}}. Do you think we should we each add it to our userpages on Wikipedia? ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 14:30, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll make a simular one that says human time lord instead. btw is there a shortcut to this wikia you know like to link to wikipedia you put [[wikipedia:page]] so is their one that libks other wikias to this?--Si 18:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

• I don't think it's best to make a H.T.L infobox on Wikipedia, but if you must...
• [[wikia:c:Tardis:Main Page]] for linking to this wiki's Main Page, for example.

~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 19:03, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

07.03.07-New members

some new members who are feinds from my school are goint to join. just to let u know.--Si 13:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay. But we shouldn't let it get too large. And we'd better make sure only people with usernames and who contribute to the wiki should currently be members. I think. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 15:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

15.03.07-Us vs. Them

Isn't this...sort of creating an us vs them sort of thing within this wiki? (just to be clear I see myself in the them, rather than the us category). If this were anything and I had to take sides, I'd be hanging out in the Eleven Day Empire. --Tangerineduel 15:58, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, suppose. Not that we meant it to be a sort of war or whatever. (BLAME SI! IT WAS HIS IDEA!) Perhaps we should just make a wiki cat editthis.info or just... wage war upon the other factions? I dunno. Erm... Si, do you have any ideas? For that matter, where are you? ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 16:02, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I don't get what this argument is about. Ghelæ, from I gather, something about "factions", "Eleven Day Empire" ect. also can i call you Ghel as it takes me a while to copy æ from your signature to this talk page. oh nad i;m on my 2 weeks holiday so i will be able to post more now I don't have to do homework 24/7 after then it's gonna be a bit dodgey--Si 19:51, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

1. It's about the idea that it's creating, as Tangerineduel said, creating an "us vs them" idea - that is, Human Time Lords vs everyone else.
2. Tangerineduel's comment about "hanging out in the Eleven Day Empire" is a reference to the Eleven-Day Empire in the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures, in which Faction Paradox of the empire were the enemies of the Time Lords, in which case the "us vs them" thing is the idea that it might inspire everybody on the wiki to "take sides", as Tangerineduel, yet again, put it. And then things could get a bit... messy, which is why I proposed creating a seperate wiki for most of the stuff.
3. Yeah, you can call me "Ghel". Or eveb "Ghelae". Or "Gh(a)e". Or... anything else, I suppose, that vaguely resembles it.
4. Yeah, I'm on my Easter hols too. YAY!

~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 06:11, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

02.04.07-Ranking icons

Instead of having letters and numbers on our icons, I though that each leading member would just have their own differently coloured symbol to specify them, and all rank would be taken from the symbol by knowledge of the person (or, alternatively, by reading the image page/person's user page). After all, we won't be around for ever, and chances are we won't be of the same rank either. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 11:04, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Well I was thinking that if we ever changed our position, we just change it on our symbol. If you want to chamge your symbol, feel free, just make sure that it is changed here too!---Si http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/e/e4/Si_HTL_Seal_Leader.PNG 11:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I will. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 11:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I've made a different pic, redone my sig, and found out how to stop that little external link arrow coming on op the sig - the <span class="plainlinks"> tag. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 11:47, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

how does the <span class="plainlinks"> fit in to my signaure?---Si http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/e/e4/Si_HTL_Seal_Leader.PNG 20:09, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Hang on I think i just messed up my signature let me just see.---Si http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/e/e4/Si_HTL_Seal_Leader.PNG<span class="plainlinks"> 20:21, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

phew not that bad. Ghel help---Si http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/e/e4/Si_HTL_Seal_Leader.PNG<span class="plainlinks"> 20:21, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

You place the tag in front of the icon and add after it. If you're still not sure about it, then look at the end of the code for my signature. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 06:28, 9 April 2007 (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!
