I just need to vent my spleen for a moment. I am really getting frustrated at all these edits being made by people who either lack English-language communication skills or the knowledge of the most basic rules of English like capitalization and grammar. I just repaired a whole bunch of stuff on [[The Stolen Earth]] and [[Journey's End]] (check the histories), and I just rewrote the introduction for [[Cybermen (Pete's World) - List of Appearances]] so it made sense. I'm seeing this a lot in the main Wikipedia, too. I fix them when I see them, but man it's frustrating. I wish there was some way Wiki (and Wikipedia) could install a grammar/spell check system. I think what annoys me the most are the edits that don't bother using any capitalization at all, not for characters or episode titles. I don't expect newbies or anon IPs to know to do things like italicize titles and the like, but you'd think common sense would exist. Unless they're assuming someone like me will just fix their edits, which is just laziness. Thanks for letting me rant - I'm sure we're on the same page on this one!

Linking to different series
Now that I'm back up, perhaps you could take a look at Talk:Journey's End and weigh in on the reverting of some of my edits to the infobox. I feel that crossover episodes should (I'll actually go further and say must) link to whatever the preceding and following stories were for the particular spinoffs. For example, TW: Exit Wounds, SJA: The Lost Boy and DW: Turn Left should be in the "preceding story" box for The Stolen Earth (or possibly TW: Lost Souls instead of Exit Wounds since it was a BBC Radio production and holds more canon weight than, say, a novel does). Journey's End should be followed by links to the 2008 Christmas Special as well as Music of the Spheres, plus the season 3 episodes for SJA and TW. The comment on the talk page suggests we should keep the shows separate, but that seems to defeat the purpose of a single-universe wiki like this. We might as well create separate Torchwood and SJA wikis if that's the case ... 23skidoo 01:18, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I just need to vent my spleen for a moment. I am really getting frustrated at all these edits being made by people who either lack English-language communication skills or the knowledge of the most basic rules of English like capitalization and grammar. I just repaired a whole bunch of stuff on The Stolen Earth and Journey's End (check the histories), and I just rewrote the introduction for Cybermen (Pete's World) - List of Appearances so it made sense. I'm seeing this a lot in the main Wikipedia, too. I fix them when I see them, but man it's frustrating. I wish there was some way Wiki (and Wikipedia) could install a grammar/spell check system.
