User talk:The Doctor 69

Welcome to the The Doctor 69

Thanks for your edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!

We only take the best!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki, so let's get them out of the way first.
British English, please
We generally use British English round these parts, so if you're American, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card.
Spoilers aren't cool
We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details.
Other useful stuff
Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:

• the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
• our Manual of Style
• our image use policy
• our user page policy
• a list of people whose job it is to help you

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:

• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial

Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this:

Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask on my talk page. -- Doug86 (Talk) 19:27, December 3, 2011

Critical Recepition

I had to remove the critical reception section becuase it had just been copied and pasted from another place - wikipedia by the looks of it. The references were all in wikipedia layout and also they were broken - meaning that if someone wanted to look up the reference for what you had cited in the section, they would be unabled to do so. All our references should be <ref>insert referece here i.e. website address</ref> - by doing it this way it will allow people to easily follow up on any reference you place in the article.

Also, there is a another, although minor reason, we don't actually have a critical recepition section on any other page - as it can lead to people adding in their own opinions - which are not allowed on this wiki. If you look through the other series pages (e.g. Series 2 (Doctor Who 2005), Series 4 (Torchwood), Series 5 (Doctor Who 2005), Series 5 (SJA)) we don't have a critical reception page on those pages either.

Improvement

If you want to improve, all I can say is to read our Manuall of style. Here you will become familiar with out policies and the way we work and the best ways to edit on this wiki.

Personal opinion

I you would like to talk to fans on thier opinions about series 5 and series , the only pages you can go to are The Howling or create a blog. There are no fan based opinion pages, since it is against our manual of style. Also please remember to sign all your comments with the four ~~~~. Thanks.

Synopsis

You can both either - what we need to do is create our own synopsis's instead of using a BBC or TV guide one - so creating your own would be a much better way to improve the wiki.

If you want, you can change the synopis and then just leave a note on the talk page.MM/Want to talk? 18:52, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

Finally, I wish you all the best at editing this wiki and hope you stick around and hae fun. If you ahev any question please feel free to contact me or any other admins. MM/Want to talk? 21:23, December 3, 2011 (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!
