| == FP deletion ==
| |
| | |
| Please immediately stop deleting FP-related stuff. I will take care of deletions once the content has been entirely migrated to the FP wiki. Thanks. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}15:55: Tue 29 May 2012 </span>

| :Wow. It's not just that you've deleted pages prematurely, but you've edited away FP information pages that still exist here. You've '''completely''' screwed up what would otherwise have been an orderly migration of data from this database to [[w:c:factionparadox]]. Now I have to undo a ton of your edits before I can even move the articles. You really should have asked what was going on before you assumed you knew what the deal was. And if you didn't want to talk to people, you could have at least read the forum discussions carefully, Had you done so, you'd have learned that this effort was about '''moving''' articles, not simply about '''deleting''' the information. As a matter of compliance with CC-BY-SA 3.0, I ''have'' to actually perform a full on export of the data. For convenience, it's best to export the version which includes FP information, and then whittle away the DWU info. So now I have to go back and undo what you've done just to move it. You've massively expanded the time necessary to complete this somewhat tedious task.
| |
| | |
| :You '''must''' start involving yourself in the community. I don't have enough hours in the day to continue cleaning up after your deletions which are not in compliance with group discussions. This is basically a repeat of the timeline deletion fiasco that you visited upon us. I'm therefore blocking you from all editing for 72 hours to give me time to make the final moves of FP data. You are also being stripped of admin powers until 7 June 2012. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}17:10: Tue 29 May 2012 </span>

| == Monobook backround ==
| |
| Are you sure you've cleared your cache? I'm editing in Monobook right now and I'm not having any problems reading anything. Could you maybe take a screenshot and let me see what you're looking at? Also, what browser are you're using? If Internet Explorer, note that we don't guarantee compatibility. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}13:47: Fri 01 Jun 2012 </span>
| |
| :Yes, but the way it's fixed entirely suggests to me that you're on a very old browser and/or IE < 9.0. You should be aware that if you don't upgrade your browser soon, you will increasingly lose functionality. I can't guarantee that I'll be able to keep design elements that work for your situation — mainly because Wikia itself have recently been more declarative about what browsers they support. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}13:57: Fri 01 Jun 2012 </span>
| |
| ::Even if you're using IE 9, however, complete compatibility is not guaranteed. IE, no matter the version number, isn't supported on this site any longer. IE has <18% market share these days, and has been in steady, monthly decline since the wiki opened in 2004. This means that it's peculiarities need no longer be catered for. You have a better shot of being able to see the site with IE 9+, but, still, IE is simply too different from other browsers to guarantee complete compatibility — especially in Monobook, which is offered on an "as-is" basis, anyway. I ''strongly'' urge you to switch to Firefox, Google, or Safari. Alternately, if you really want to keep IE, you can change your own, '''personal''' CSS if you see a problem. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}14:31: Fri 01 Jun 2012 </span>

| == FP stuff ==
| |
| | |
| I see at [[The Enemy]] that you went through and changed the redlinks to FP stories to interwiki links to [[w:c:factionparadox]]. Please don't do this. Instead, rip these statements out of this wiki entirely. FP books and stories are '''not [[valid source]]s''' any more. As determined by various forum discussions to which I've alerted you in the past, we're trying to '''''delete''''' statements from FP sources — not just keep them around with a different kind of link. If you really feel that a particular statement is absolutely necessary, you can retain it, but put it in the behind the scenes section. Additionally, you should add a {{tlx|fpx}} statement to the "external link" section of any article from which you delete FP information.

| == Don't delete videos just cause they're "unused" ==
| |
| I know you love to delete unused files, so I should tell you that videos don't obey the expected rules of file usage. If you go to [[cricket bat]], you'll see a video in the right rail. This video, [[:File:Coming to terms with regeneration - Doctor Who Castrovalva - BBC]] is actually on [[cricket bat]], [[regeneration]] and [[Fifth Doctor]]. But being in the right rail doesn't "count" towards the file usage stat, so you get this false positive "no pages link to this image" message.
| |
| | |
| For this reason, I'd advise that you not delete videos on the basis of the "file usage" stat. You should pretty much assume that every video uploaded is being used somehow, even if it's not readily apparent how. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 08:19: Sat 26 Jan 2013</span>

| == The Heavy Hand of Forum Moderation & Disappearing Discussions ==
| |
| | |
| Could you leave links to other community Forums (like The Howling) and Forum archives onto the main Community Forum page? It has been frustrating to me to post questions to the Reference Desk and then returned to find they have disappeared, sometimes deleted and sometimes moved to other Forums that do not appear on the Forums main page.
| |
| | |
| I can understand why the Reference Desk is so rarely used compared to the Topic Talk pages where I have found friendly discussion and help. But if there is going to be this overzealous policing and shutting down of ongoing conversations in the Reference Desk Forum, there should be an easy way to track down where the *$%+## moderator has moved them.

| Hey, I was just looking at the "zombie" page, and I personally think that it needs some restructuring: first off, the main part refers only to the original zombie from Haitian lore, when in fact the very name "zombie" has since more or less evolved into a general term covering most resurrected corpses. In addition, the second section, "Minor References", is about as vague as it can get. Do you think that we should restructure and improve the article? --[[User:Dr. Anonymous1|Dr. Anonymous1]] [[User talk:Dr. Anonymous1|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:43, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

It's only ever called "'''''Atropa''' belladonna''" and "Deadly Nightshade" (capitalised as such both in my CC and according to {{w|Atropa belladonna|its Wikipedia article}}). Therefore, both "Belladonna" and "deadly nightshade" are bad titles. Sure, they can stay as redirects, but the article should rest at either [[Atropa Belladonna]] or [[Deadly Nightshade]].

| Hi Doug
| |
| You responded to my edits on the page about my grandfather William Hartnell. I'm afraid I may not have done all this in the correct manner as I am a little confused by the systems on these websites! A lot of the information on there was incorrecct and it frustrates me that it appears to have been gleaned from newspaper articles which, I have already pointed out in my biography of my grandfather, are often inaccurate. I have corrected the data with a brief summary but I do somewhat object to the comments (which I haven't yet removed) about my biography being a "hagiography". This was not the judgement of the jounalists from the newspapers who reviewed my book when it was published 16 years ago. Amongst others, the Sunday Telegraph and the Daily Mail gave it very good reviews, implying how unbiased it was. (I'll happily scan in the copy should you so wish me to "prove" this - if there is some way of emailing you these).
| |
| I'm not sure who the one person in the Doctor Who press is who didn't warm to my biography - perhaps because I staunchly refused to invent information I couldn't verify and I gave personal memories of his involvement in Doctor Who, but I can assure you that all the information in my book came from diaries, letters, programmes, photographs and my mother, who was Bill's daughter, and interviews with people who had worked with him. I object to the inference in the article on this site that "Information is hard to verify" - perhaps this can be removed by yourself as it would seem untrue. It implies I am lying. If that person would like to challenge any specific facts, then they are free to contact me, my work address is easily found on the net.
| |
| | |
| In the same way, "fluffs" are constantly discussed without any reference being made to the fact that the show was recorded virtually as live with only a couple of post shoot edits. The programme had a 48 week a year schedule, something which would never ever be considered nowadays with such a small core cast, so the pressure on Bill who was in virtually every episode was immense. Is it possible to introduce a note about that into the discussion of the fluffs? I would be grateful.
| |
| | |
| I had endless problems with the main wikipedia entry where it took me ages to correct the facts of his birth and there ONE person's view was allowed to cloud his biography. One person, who clearly didn't get on with him, claimed he was anti-semitic when Bill in fact adored Carole Ann Ford his first companion AND Verity Lambert, both of whom were Jewish. He may well have been sometimes bigoted (not surprising given the prevailing views of his generation), but he was never so on a personal level and it is unpleasant to have prove things which most of those involved will attest to..

Looking at the last revision, I don't really see anything wrong with it — there are three pages, six if you count the behind-the-scenes ones. I don't doubt that you had your reasons; I'm just wondering what they might have been.<br>--[[user:SmallerOnTheOutside|SOTO]] [[User talk:SmallerOnTheOutside|☎]] 02:08, January 15, 2014 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :I deleted it because dab pages for first names generally only used when there are multiple characters which are known only by that one name and no other. Since there are no characters known only as Madeleine, I believed that it was no longer necessary.

| ==Vandalism==
| |
| | |
| Hi! I noticed that http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/97.89.115.53 was vandalizing one of the pages here. Just thought I'd let you know. [[User talk:Obi the LEGO Fan|~Obi]]

| | |
| == Emergency Attention: Intentional Vandalism and Vandalism Threat ==
| |
| | |
| [[User talk:176.250.92.228]], I left a note here, and the response was to create a user page like this:
| |
| | |
| "--IT IS I!--
| |
| | |
| This is The Return of Doug Eighty Seven!
| |
| | |
| Yes, I'm back, and I don't really care about [[User talk:Doug86|Doug86]] any more, simply vandalizing as much as I can, starting with [[Tenth Doctor|Ol' Tennyboy here]]."
| |
| | |
| He keeps vandalising the [[Tenth Doctor]] page, which I keep reverting. Could someone please lock the page and/or block this user?
| |
| | |
| ==Proposed transwiki==
| |
| I already posted this [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:155065 at the Panopticon],but thought I would notify an admin also. An article on Wikipedia, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Doctor_Who_serials_by_setting List of Doctor Who serials by setting], is being seriously considered for deletion. I just wanted to inquire if this wiki would be interested in receiving it via a transwiki before it's deleted.

| My idea was to end up using the [[Waitress]] page as an occupation page. Like [[Journalist]]. I just did not have time to do so at that moment. I was moving the information that I deduced was "dab" info to a new page. Then, I was planning to come back today and make [[Waitress]] into a proper occupation page. I did not want to ''move'' the page, I wanted to ''split'' the page. Is that wrong? And if not, may I please revert it to the way I planned to use it? (Also, I thought that other people would be able to understand my meaning because I linked to the Waitress page on the dab page, '''exactly''' like the example I was given: [[Space pirate]] and [[Space pirate (disambiguation)]])--[[User:Rebazim|Rebazim]] [[User talk:Rebazim|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:41, June 4, 2014 (UTC)

| == List of crew by <<nowiki/>whatever time factor> ==
| |
| Hey, Doug. I hope you caught the discussion at [[Thread:156099]]. I know those "list of crew by <<nowiki/>whatever time factor>" lists were a little project of yours, but the templates on which they were based were just not up to the task. Those pages were monster processor hogs for the wiki, and they were never meant to do the kind of lists those pages eventually grew into. Upper limit on those templates before you start seeing significant processor issues is between 100-200 — far more than the ambition of those pages. So I had to delete them.
| |
| | |
| If you don't already have an offline copy, you can of course look at a deleted revision with your admin powers and snag a copy there. But please do not recreate anywhere on the wiki, not even on a user page. They're a big drain on the wiki — and, as they grow, they ''could'' actually take a bite out of the Wikia ''network'', particularly if multiple people tried to access them at once.
| |
| | |
| I'll keep an eye out for something more efficient. If I find anything, you'll be the first to know. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 16:35: Thu 19 Jun 2014</span>
| |
| | |
| :I understand that the sacrifice was necessary, and I appreciate you keeping me informed. I was aware of the processing issues and had heard that the pages were being considered for deletion, but I chose not to contribute to the discussion as I did not consider keeping the pages to be a high priority. I've made a lot of contributions to this wiki, and naturally not all of my ideas are bound to turn out as well as I'd hope; nevertheless, I'm fairly certain that the good contributions I've made outweigh the bad. 00:57, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

| Hi, I'm not sure how often your mods are, but I posted on the cybermen (mondas) talk page regarding cyber leaders.
| |
| In the series 8 final, I seem to be the only one who noticed leaders in the ranks of the cybermen, taller, with black corners on handles, was looking for verification, but nobody replied, one was a group of cybermen with a leader, the other was among the three debating with clara and the last I noticed was the brigadier, hope this image works.

I'm just stopping by (some of) the talk pages TheChampionOfTime has been making these comments on to clarify the concerns s/he has had: You may have noticed that the front page of that wiki refers to the editors of this wiki here as "fascist bastards." That's meant to be tongue in cheek, and not a serious criticism. You may also have noticed that a lot of story pages are shamelessly duplicated from pages on this wiki. That's not plagiarism; I used the Wikia import/export feature to preserve the edit history so that all the authors are properly cited, and the license (CC-BY-SA) is followed.
