Revision as of 17:02, 15 May 2009
Continuity: the story titles should be italicised. (The way to work out references from continuity is. References are in-universe and if there's a lot of them organised under category headings (see...Alien Bodies for an example), continuity is out of universe.)
External Links: The external links website title is too long and non-specific. The web link should make reference to the site's name it's linking to, with brief explanation. The The Millennium Blag page I edited slightly, so now it reads 'Doctor Who - Battles in Time official website, with trading cards details', less wordy, still all the information, it also doesn't need a full stop at the end, it's a weblink in a list (even if it's the only one there, it's still bullet pointed.
- Hi there - just passing through and thought I'd say hello - a really nice page on BiT. Was very amused that some of the isolated images I couldn't remember drawing :) Speaking of which - back to the drawing board for issue 59! Lee Sullivan 20:45, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
- To paraphrase the Dalek movies; Every move you make I see, every sound you utter I hear...(sounds a lot less creepy in the 60s Dalek voices with the lights flashing not in sync with the voices). I'm always around here. I didn't notice, but have just seen (re Lee Sullivan). As far as promotions category wise it would probably go in Category:Doctor Who merchandise, probably in a subcategory or two. If there are a lot of promotional give aways for each (the Weetabix, chips, cereal etc) then each should be in a separate category. So maybe (within the DW merchandise category) it can be Category:Doctor Who promotional items, then within that category; Category:Weetabix Doctor Who promotions and so on. Get back to me if I've (as is sometimes the case) jumped on the wrong horse. --Tangerineduel 07:48, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
Doctor Who Power Rollers
On first glance I thought these might be a photoshop mockup! We really are in odd times of Doctor Who Merchandising! What the hell are 'Doctor Who Power Rollers'? It seems to live up to the 'slap a Doctor Who logo on it and they'll buy anything' mentality (or am I just being A) Cynical or B) not understanding the concept?) Or both. Ah...for the good ole days of Dapol where they'd release a different coloured Dalek for ever occasion and a green K9. Merry Christmas. --Tangerineduel 13:20, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- And a Happy New Year to you. Aren't Frubes the yogurt...things. Doctor Who branded yogurt...things. It's no worse than Dalek Ice Rays and other food related Doctor Who things. Don't worry about the BIT things, however I have made it easier, no typing involved anymore just select 'Doctor Who: Battles in Time magazines and cards' from the licensing selector when you're at the upload section, just scroll down it's under magazines. This'll add it automatically, no typing involved. --Tangerineduel 16:30, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
The Darksmith Legacy
Here's a link to the Manual of Style for the TARDIS Wikia: Tardis:Manual of style. This will help you to structure your articles more in line with the rest of the site.
I really hope all that writing doesn't sound like I'm putting you down. You asked what I thought so I've given some constructive criticism which I hope will really focus all your enthusiasm into making some great articles. The potential is definitely there. Definitely don't worry about making mistakes, every one does. I look forward to working with you further on making the TDL articles among the best on the site! User: Clockwork Apricot
Gisella
Could you please come back to the Gisella article you started and, at a minimum, give a list of appearances and/or fill out an infobox? The article has stirred up some controversy (see Talk:Gisella) because the lack of sources has made some editors unsure it's "real", verifiable information. Thanks :) CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 08:38, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
- Seems to have progressed a bit since your break, so it's not as objectionable as when I left the note. But, hey, while I've got you online: a question about TDL. From what I can tell of the online site, the contents there amount to easter eggs. Is it more substantive than that? I mean, is there new fiction there which is genuinely different or greater than what's in the books? Should we also create a page about the website itself so that people can cite it using the WEB prefix? Or is there nothing on the cite which one would likely reference in an article?
