Categories

Have you checked around to make sure there's nothing else that can go in the archaeology category? But if there's nothing to go into the category, yes definitely change it so archaeology (the article) is placed within the two categories. I'll also merge the two pages shortly. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 11:49, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yep, any categories that have less than 3 articles within them I think don't really need to be categories, the articles can be categoried elsewhere, just be sure to check the 'what links here' before exorcising them of their content (sometimes that what links here might give some indication of other things that might be categorised into it). Also thanks for the SJA bracket correction. --Tangerineduel 12:58, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

For the record, there almost certainly are other things which can go into Category:Archaeology, given that major characters in the Whoniverse are archaeologists. There must be something in a Benny book or audio about an archaeological dig. I don't know the character that well, but I'd find it pretty hard to believe she hasn't been portrayed as actively practicing archaeology sometime in her 10 series of audios and thousands of pages of prose. The Library arguably deserves to be classed under archaeology, since the team was led by River Song, an archaeologist. The Nine Travellers should be put under archaeology, as well, since the site was quite obviously being studied by Amelia Rumford, an archaeologist. Pretty sure there must be something archaeological about the pyramids of Egypt, since Scarman is quite obviously on an archaeological dig at the top of Pyramids of Mars.

Though the "Rule of Three" TD mentions above is certainly useful, I think you also have to be judicious about it. Having spent a lot of time organizing categories and nominating some for deletion, the thing I've found most useful is caution. Don't arbitrarily delete a category before carefully considering whether it is likely that there is more information on that subject that has yet to be written on this site. A corollary to that rule is that if it can contain even a single subcategory (itself containing at least three pages), then the category should be kept. I think we could quite easily have a subcategory category:Archaeological sites under Category:Archaeology. Just on the basis of televised DW alone, there's at least:

• the site Scarman was at in ep 1 of Pyramids
• the Tomb of the Cybermen from the serial of the same name
• the Library
• the Nine Travellers
• Stonehenge (mostly by way of its inclusion in dialogue in The Stones of Blood, not really for The Pandorica Opens)
• the site in Battlefield

That alone justifies the Archaeology category. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 13:16, November 27, 2010 (UTC)

Infobox

Thanks for letting me know, I've reverted to a previous edit for now until I can make sure it works correctly. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 12:34, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

New pages

It's sort of assumed that when creating a page you've got something to write about, I'm reticent to create a policy just about that, but I've added a note to the Tardis:Community Portal saying to make sure you've got enough to justify an article. It's sometimes hard to define exactly how much is "enough" given the wide range of articles, but as I re-check through policies/help articles I'll see if I can add it elsewhere. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 13:58, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Santiago's dad

It's not a big deal, but obviously that was the point of RTD's coy line. It's being wilfully difficult to say "Ah, yes, but we did not have an extra ten words specifying why he was a member." If we're being literal and not allowed to understand the writerly decisions behind lines, then we have to believe outright that the Doctor can regenerate 507 times also (when this is a joke). Clearly it's meant to be saying "Look, Santiago's a normal boy whose dad is gay but is still an active father in many respects." I thought (admittedly, from a real-world perspective), that this was an interesting portrayal. It's probably also an interesting thing about Santiago in terms of his real-world biography, anyway.Zythe 15:17, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

Does the Doctor's flippant delivery to the question not actually imply, textually, that it is intended to be humorous? I can't see why a person can't exercise a little critical judgement.Zythe 23:00, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

Apart from the comic delivery, we both know that Russell T Davies explained that it was definitely meant as a joke.Zythe 15:15, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Jo Jones

Jo did NOT die in a house fire in 2028! That's just nonsense in those Virgin novels that those idiots write, how could you allow such a horrible thing to be written about someone as nice as Jo without even saying it might to be true? She didn't die, she died peacefully in her sleep god damn it. No offence.

Theres no need to take offence, I didn't swear at you or anything like that, and I'm sorry if you feel that way and I'm pretty sure you did remove my edit, as I saw it. The people who wrote the books were not idiots, but I find them bad writers because they like interfering, apart from killing off half the people who have ever been in the show, the continous sexual agenda and the numerous stuff to contradict the Time War, they haven't really contributed anything to the Whoniverse.

It seems to me though that you enjoy suffering and people dying, and I wouldn't call that speculation...and I've seen many of your edits on Doctor Who Wiki, do you even have a life outside of this? Because all you seem to be doing is coming on here and making articles as dull as possible. I can name many times when I've felt offended by you for dehumanizing yourself and others. I could go on.

And before you take offence yet again, that paragraph above wasn't offensive either, and to be honest in a world where people can execute woman for commiting adultery or removing their burkhas, I think I can say you're making this site dull. Its like you enjoy the grim idea of Jo dying, if the whole world just ended, and everyone you ever knew was dead...would you still treat it as a "stone cold fact" and not think anything else of it? Because with your language and attitude you're giving me that impression.

Hmmmm....I guess.

~ThePandoricaOpens666 19:36 27th October 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry I was a bit rude to you, I have a problem at the moment with people in authority and get frustrated very easily.

~ThePandoricaOpens666 22:14 27th October, 2010 (UTC)

hey no 13 i just edited your user, so what r u gonna do about it?

how do you have the power to block someone?

Apologies

Im very sorry about earlier, I don't know what came over me! Just ask Skittles the hog for instance!

But all the same the idea of people editing on this wonderful Doctor Who fact machine, with programes like DR wHO it really makes this site amazing!

And I'm so so sorry, but I think I've said enough, I'm hoping you reply with a good positive, comment after this sadly distruptive time with me and you.

I just hope you'll forgive me, so much, really please just forgive I will not do it again!

sorry!

hello? im sorry by the way!

2x30

Most Doctor Who stories are shown in the x x-minute format. For example: The Talons of Weng-Chiang and Delta and the Bannermen. Surely this would be the format to use to keep up the pattern?--Skittles the hog 19:52, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Either way there are alot of changes to be made. I think 2x30 minutes format is best though so I will make a start. Thanks--Skittles the hog 21:11, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

On second thoughs, I do not think it looks very nice in that format and I think the hyphon prevents people getting mixed up. Perhaps submit this to the forums?--Skittles the hog 21:20, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Well it clearly links the number and the word minute.--Skittles the hog 14:05, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Followed pages

Just a favour, could you stop following 'Cat:Tangerineduel the rap...'. As despite the category being deleted it is the first thing that appears beside your talk page. Alternatively (or as well as) you can make your followed list private (go to "Preferences," and then "Followed pages" and check "Make my followed pages list private") Thanks. --Tangerineduel 11:10, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Help

Hi The Thirteenth Doctor. I have just become an admin on The Sarah Jane Adventures Wiki. I think Mini-mitch is a regular user on it as well but it is in really bad shape. There are loads of VITAL pages that need creating and that's where you come in. You are one of the top editors on this wiki and look at it now; It's number 10 on the "Wiki Charts". Please would you try to help Sarah Jane Adventures Wiki by creating some of these pages and I could help by asking the guy in charge (Mini-mitch I think) to make you and admin. This is not bribary. Please could you help or at least have a look. I have left a similar message with Tangerineduel Thanks so much. Ghastly9090 16:17, November 20, 2010 (UTC)
