Novelisations

Hello there, I noticed that you created some redirects to the novels when doing the novelisation links on the season articles. Be aware that you can get around this by putting the title in the link using [[page (novelisation)|what you want people to see]]. Example [[The War Machines (novelisation)|Doctor Who- The War Machines]] displays Doctor Who- The War Machines. This avoids creating redirects while still keeping the title that you have put.Jack's the man - 15:35, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

thanks. yeah, I know I could do it the other way. I just would rather have the novelisations have the same article name as whatever appears on the spine, rather than Name of Story (novelisation). my way of having it both ways, I guess. --Stardizzy2 23:15, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Time's Champion

Hi there just wondering why you are deleting sections from articles about times champion since i know that its from the New Adventures ? also in future if you plan to delete a large ammount from an article could you put a message on the articles talk page stating why

Thanks --Dark Lord Xander 02:46, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

sure, I'll explain. Craig Hinton and Chris McKeon worked on a fan novel together entitled Time's Champion. digressions to go over arguments justifying fan theories which reference fan fiction (digressions to justify personal views of continuity, full stop, actually) don't really belong here and most especially not in in-universe sections. I feel a bit cruel deleting these sections when I suspect that Chris McKeon (or at least one of his friends) added these sections. at the very least, though, they don't belong in the main (in-universe) section of the articles.

next time I delete a large chunk from any article I will, in future, explain why I did so. --Stardizzy2 18:28, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

I Am the Doctor

I actually took it out of the Non-Canonical category because, with the exception of the Barbara Wright-as-Dr. Who-creator reference, and speculation regarding the Eighth Doctor's regeneration, everything else is simply a restating of canonical storylines (which include the licensed novels). There must be a better category for this. We also need to add a year-related category. Any suggestions? The only change to your edit is I'm going to put back the reference to John Peel's credentials as it's important to state that Peel isn't just some guy who wrote a book, but a veteran DW novelist. 23skidoo 04:33, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

By year-related category do you mean, "stories set in year X" and/or "Year X events"? I had created the former. it got deleted.

• • Reply: No, I was relating to book-publishing year categories, such as "X Novels", etc. Wikipedia has an "X Books" category, but there doesn't seem to be one for this wiki for these books that fall into no set category. 23skidoo 05:53, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

About I Am the Doctor, unless he received authorization from the BBC. He labeled his speculations not as speculations, but as fact. That to me, makes this un-canonical fiction. Most of the fanfic ever written also mostly adheres to the "known facts". I will bring it up on the forum. --Stardizzy2 15:09, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm good either way. On a related matter, I disagree with the idea of deleting the I Am the Doctor disambiguation page. Please see the associated talk page for my response. Cheers. 23skidoo 05:53, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Aliases page

I just completed an extensive revision of the Doctor Aliases page. I overwrote your edit just now but will be going back to incorporate your changes. We were thinking along the same lines. 23skidoo 23:11, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

• I think I got them all. My edit consisted of in-universe revisions, and I also reordered the examples to be chronological (more or less), moved a few misplaced items into the right category, and deleted a few frivilous ones. The ball is back in your court if you wish to revise/trim/organize further. Cheers! 23skidoo 23:15, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
