Thanks for your recent edits! I'm Jimbo, your robot wiki representative! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is actually a great time to have joined, because we're now fully independent, and working on a host of new features!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a fan written 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 use another form of English, 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

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 an admin.

In-universe articles

Hi, just looking at some of your recent edits. No in-universe articles should have the phrase (or similar) X was referenced in Story name. It should read something like:

Disneyland was mentioned by the Navarinos as their destination. (DW: Delta and the Bannermen)

Additionally, all in-universe articles are written in the past tense. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, I didn't know when it was mentioned in the serial Delta and the Bannerman or by whom, just that it was mentioned in the serial. --AKR619 00:58, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Sir Hat-a-lot

About the article on Simon Callow you edited, and inserted this paragraph:

Around 1994, Callow was working on the movie Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (which he is probably best known to the American audience as), his co-star Jim Carrey was offered the role of the Eighth Doctor during filming, Carrey had never even heard of Doctor Who until he was offered the role. While he was being offered the role, the producers told him it was a highly succesful British television show, so Carrey approached Callow about what he should do. He merely said "I've been offered the role of the Eighth Doctor in the revival of Doctor Who" and Callow cut him off and told him to take it. A bewildered Carrey then responded that he would probably have to work in television and Callow answered "F*** a movie career! You're being offered the chance to play Doctor Who! You don't pass up on an opportunity like this! Are you f***ing mad?". It was at that moment Carrey realised how big a deal Doctor Who was, so he turned down the role as he felt it would offend Doctor Who fans for someone who isn't a fan of the show to play their sacred part."

Much of this needs referencing, so if you could add to the page where this information comes from, I'd appreciate it. Bad Wolf Bad Wolf 19:07, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
