The information at the bottom of the List of BBC DVD releases article was just that, it states 'Still to be Announced', this isn't speculation this is taking the list of all Doctor Who stories and removing those that have been released or announced.

Revision as of 13:45, 20 December 2011
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:
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.
Clarification
As you say you're an journalist I'm sure you can understand that we need facts to check the information against. Otherwise who's to say whether it's true or not.
Rumours are just that, they need to have some solid information attached to them (blogs, chatrooms and forums do not count as they are all user generated content, and hence would need sources within them to back their information up).
This wiki is an encyclopaedia, it's about information, not clarifying things that may have been discussed somewhere. (Unless that somewhere is something citeable such as Doctor Who Magazine or an official source like that). We present information with sources be them in-universe sources to TV stories, novels, novellas, audio dramas, comics, short stories etc or real world (or 'out-of-universe) with sources from websites, official publications, books etc.
The information at the bottom of the List of BBC DVD releases article was just that, it states 'Still to be Announced', this isn't speculation this is taking the list of all Doctor Who stories and removing those that have been released or announced. Leaving those that haven't been announced or 'Still to be Announced', in list form. --Tangerineduel 16:14, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
