==Favourite Additions==
*One of my favourite recent additions is [[The Doctor Who Cookbook]] which is actually sitting on my book shelf, one of the oddest pieces of Doctor Who publishing...with some quite good recipes.
*The [[Alcohol]], [[Tea]], and [[Coffee]] pages which I'm also quite happy with (and all the useless knowledge they bring).
*Also I'm quite pleased with [[The Dark Dimension]], mainly because it's all accurately researched with proper citing of sources and all that jazz. I've gone to some lengths to research [[Black Sheep]] (who produced the covers for all the BBC's [[EDA]] and [[PDA]] novels and I's quite happy with the various authors opinions on that article.
 
*I've just found another article that I'd forgotten about, [[Teleportaphobia]], this I like just for the information it has, it brings a whole new light to all the matter transmitting that goes on throughout Doctor Who.
 
==Other recent work==
I have '''finally''' finished updating all the classic series from the standard TV infobox to the ClassicTV infobox, plus clearing up all the articles (from An Unearthly Child to the TVM) to the manual of style, adding in all various links, making sure they're all arranged in the correct and same order, sorting out references and continuity from one another. But it's finally finished! ''(I realised somewhere near the end that a '''Timeline''' section would be a good thing to put on many of the TV story articles to fit in other stories (books, audios, comics etc) in between...ah well another marathon to go with at some point)''.
 
:*I will at some point soon go back over [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)]] to Series 4 checking over everything again, plus Torchwood as well. (When I get motivated again).
 
===Recent Work - Additional===
Added all licensing tags to the [[MediaWiki:Licenses]], which is used on the drop down license menu when you upload images, so hopefully no more looking through [[Tardis:Copyright tags]] page for them. Previously there were just the default ones, most of which didn't exist. But now it's all fixed.

Hello to everyone.

I've been around here for a while, though not from the start. I'm also an admin, so any problems or questions that are vexing chuck them on My talk page, if I can't help I'll try and point you in a direction which can.

Also, I occasionally get things wrong, tell me and I'll explain or correct the mistakes.

I often keep an eye on the Recent Changes page, checking; recent edits by unknown users or IP edits and correcting as I do so and any major edits with very high (or often very low character counts). (Which is why it may seem like I'm following everyone's recent edits around...I am)

I've been fan for sometime, and have a relatively good knowledge of the Doctor Who Universe,

I can get a bit obsessive and methodical and usually start with one page in a line (of novels/audios/TV stories) and then focus on one portion of it, go through a long line and fix just that, and then go and fix the rest. Which is why a lot of pages have a hand or two of mine on them.

I've spent some time working on the infoboxes to alter them so the unused fields collapse (so you can't see the empty fields) and also adding description and usage information to those pages.

Other Info

  • I don't care that much about rumours, supposition or any wanderings on the net and elsewhere.
  • Articles need to be written from actual sources, Rumours don't count as "sources".
  • Supposition or 'stuff that will probably happen based on these sheep entrails' (or alternatively stuff that hasn't been released for general media consumption) doesn't count either.
  • I'm no great fan of copying huge chunks from wikipedia, part of this wiki is creating something separate and unique here, not just a copy of any given Wikipedia entry.
