Your account

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.

All caps

Seems to be caused by PRESS STATEMENT, which likely doesn't need to be in all caps. Filter is functioning correctly.

Wikipediainfo

Hey, I notice you used {{wikipediainfo}} when you created Richelle Mead. As the template instructions indicate, we don't really want to use {{wikipediainfo}} on real world pages. Think of it as a way to give our readers real world information without violating T:NO RW — not as a substitute for writing a real world article. Thanks!

Plagiarism question

Re your question at thread:142060:

It's my opinion that when it comes to plagiarism, better safe than sorry. If there is a substantial amount of text that seems to have been lifted from another site, it's gotta go. I think what has happened with some of the older stories is that it was copied word for word, but over the years numerous editors have added and subtracted text, but it's still basically plagiarism.

If you're up for rewriting any of the plot summaries, go for it. I don't want to cause you extra work, but I think in the long run it's less work to rewrite than to check sections back and forth and correct here and there. Don't forget to put an "in use" tag if you feel you need it. Thanks a bunch! Shambala108 ☎ 23:34, September 26, 2013 (UTC)

Torchwood

I wonder if you could do me a favor. I was looking through the plot summary for Day One, and there's a scene where the rest of the Torchwood crew is discussing what they know about Jack. There is a sentence in the middle of this section that says: "Ianto think she's CIA." I haven't seen this episode, so I don't know if Ianto is talking about Jack and it's a typo, or if he's talking about Gwen, who is referred to in the previous sentence. Do you have any idea which is correct? Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 17:26, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! I went ahead and fixed it, and if you or someone else later find that it's wrong, it can be fixed. Shambala108 ☎ 18:14, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Something about preloads

Didn't you sometime, somewhere, within the last month say something about preloads needed to be fixed? I was looking around for that comment today but couldn't find it. If I've got the wrong man, please forgive me. But if I've got the right one, please jog my memory.

Help

Hey, can I prevail upon you for a little bit of immediate help. Any chance that you could do the crew lists for the last four eps of 7b today? I know, I know: it's my own fault for not fixing {{wales crew}} sooner, but if you could help with that, I'd be mighty appreciative. If you can't, though, lemme know.

Tomato check tracking

Well, I put this in the thread, but it's really hard to read it there. I thought you might like to see it at full width. This chart tells you which episodes you don't need to worry about anymore, as they've already been touched by two editors.

Kath Braxton?

I guess I don't understand why the lead-in to the Tenth Doctor article, the identity of his incarnation, depends on the attestation of a minor character from a comic that a lot of people on here probably haven't read. Clara specified that her Doctor was the Eleventh Doctor, but if I added that, I'm willing to bet it would be deleted within a day. TARDIStraveler ☎ 22:25, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

Cleanup edits

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that your recent many cleanup edits have not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. I noticed that you've been concentrating a lot on stuff that relates to 2005-Doctor Who. That's probably going to help with the Rotten Tomatoes stuff. Thanks for all your hard work!

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!

I just wanted to say thanks for tagging all those images for deletion. I think I got all of them. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 16:23, March 6, 2014 (UTC)

Silents Vs. the Silent

The correct plural form of Silent is The Silent. There is no 'S'. If you are referring to the religious order, "The Silence" is proper. - Masterpwn (Previously unsigned)

Season four category

I just wanted to thank you for the edits you made removing the "characters of season four" category. I knew there was something wrong with it, but couldn't place why, so I asked the user to hold off creating any more. I've now asked him/her not to continue the project (using your edit summary as the reason), and I deleted the one category that's been created so far. Shambala108 ☎ 01:37, June 3, 2014 (UTC)

I need your help understanding your reason

"The Marilyn Monroe stuff is edging too much into T:NO RW. I don't think the story says anything other than "woman standing with Eleven, Sinatra and Santa Claus in that photograph"," was what you said when you removed that section I put on the Model page.

I'm sorry, but did you seriously do that without reading the links I connected it to at all? Because it appears so. Yes. That's a bit bunt and could be considered impolite, but I would appreciate an explanation for removing my work. An explanation that proves you looked at the links I connected to the paragraph for the convenience of readers, like you were.

In the episode A Christmas Carol, we see the Doctor leave the party with Marilyn. At the end of the episode, Rory answers a phone call from her, and the Doctor tells her to tell her the chapel wasn't ligament. Here's straight out of the episode article (Which I had a link to in the bit I posted): "A few minutes later, the Doctor finds the couple kissing passionately, but impatiently requests to leave, as he has accidentally become engaged to Marilyn Monroe; he leaves with her nevertheless." At the end of the episode, "Rory pops out of the TARDIS, saying he answered the phone; Marilyn has called the Doctor. The Doctor tells Rory to inform Marilyn that he will call her back, "and that was never a real chapel"."

And, may I ask what this picture you speak of is? I don't remember it.

And please, don't get me wrong. I am upset (who wouldn't be if some of their hard work was taken down with a reason they didn't understand.), but I still have an open mind. From what I know, and the information I've received, I can only conclude that you were not aware to what I was referring. So here I am, trying to explain.

You are more experienced at wiki-ing than me, so I am asking for your help in understanding. But I like to think I am a hardcore Whovian when it comes to the reboot series. I think I know what I'm talking about with this episode.

Will you do me a favor and read Marilyn Monroe and A Christmas Carol (TV story)? Then, will you please reconsider removing that section?

Thank you for your time, and again, I'm sorry for sounding so blunt.

Past tense in direct quotations

Hey there. Regarding your edits to the quote in the lead for Dalek, do you know if it is the policy at this project to alter direct character quotations into the past tense? I have looked through 6~7 MoS/policy articles and could not find a direct answer, so I'm uncertain. Either way, this line: "[i]nside that shell, there [was] a creature born to hate, whose only thought [was] to destroy everything and everyone that [wasn't] a Dalek, too." is very brutal to read. If it isn't policy, are you okay with me changing it back to a direct quote? And if it is policy to force verbatim character lines to be in the past tense, are you okay with having this paraphrased? Blue Rook ☎ 00:31, December 18, 2014 (UTC)

Re: The Eye of Torment

No problem. The only reason I knew what to do is that I've seen it used in source mode before. Previously, I had tried using the "|" and it didn't work. Shambala108 ☎ 15:35, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
