Clara Oswald

OK. What is the problem about my last edit? I think I have proof. The End Of Time: "And the whole War was time locked." "Nothing can get in or get out of the time lock." The Day of the Doctor: "10th: 'These events should be time locked. We shouldn't even be here.' 11th: 'So something let us through.' MOMENT: 'You clever boys'" The Night of the Doctor: "I'm not part of the war. I swear to you, I never was." "I don't suppose there's a need for a doctor any more. Make me a warrior now." I don't think I made speculation. I don't think I even made interpretation. And I never said River didn't meet the War Doctor. I only said she isn't confirmed to have met him. But thank you for your work anyway. Even if, this time, I don't understand. Basil Pond ☎

If you ever choose to make a page for the Joyrider technology (whatever you'd want to call it), I know of at least one other body swap device (the Reciprocator) which could potentially form category:Body swap technology with it if we find another (Cabinet of Souls, in-a-way-not-really-forget-I-said-anything?).

Roger (and Hammerstein, and anyone else in fact)

Not sure if you're familiar with this feature, but it's very easy to use. Let's say you wanted to create the dab page Roger:

{{#dpl:
|titlematch=Roger %
|namespace = 0
|notlinksfrom = Roger
|format = '''Roger:'''\n\n,"[[%PAGE%]]", ,\n\n
}}

Will give you a complete list of all pages Roger:

Roger:

You can achieve the same thing, in this case, with just the first two lines, but you'd end up with a long bulleted list. In any case, I notice, for example, you've been added Roberts to the dab page Robert. So with this same format:

{{#dpl:
|titlematch=Robert%
|namespace = 0
|notlinksfrom = Robert
|format = '''Robert:'''\n\n,"[[%PAGE%]]", ,\n\n
}}

It will in fact give you a list of pages with "Roger" in them, which are not already at Roger:

All Roberto, Roberta, Roberts/Robertson, etc. You've done a good job, it seems. Or maybe you'd want to widen the search to include all pages starting in Rob.

Replace Robert% with %Robert%, by the way, and you'll end up with all pages where "Robert" can be found anywhere in the title, not just at the beginning. If you're searching for a surname, you might want to include % at both ends.

Anyway, I thought I'd introduce you to this little useful tool. I could feasibly make a template to make the process easier, but if you just add the above to User:Amorkuz/sandbox (or User:Amorkuz/DPL, or anything, really), you might find it a lot easier to generate such a list for editing purposes. I don't much trust the search function. As I don't work for Fandom/Wikia, I can admit that Special:Search is just a bit shit.

Sorry if this looks like an overload. I've had a tiring day, so I would usually try to be more concise.

Glad you like it. Delta sounds like a great idea, and to answer your question, it can indeed include pages with Delta anywhere in the page name. Enjoy!

Introducing... T:DAB LINKS

Nah, it's not as flashy as I'm making it sound. Tardis:Links to disambiguating pages is simply a link dump for "lonely" dab pages, which aren't linked to from any article, so they don't show up on Special:LonelyPages. But since you've been taking an interest in dab pages of late, I figured I'd let you in on this particular maintenance page. So you know, we no longer bother making the list there alphabetical.
× SOTO (☎/✍/↯) 00:15, March 2, 2017 (UTC)

I'd never really considered it, but, logically, a DPL query updates its results on a page save. So it seems if you hit publish, you'll get the latest list there. Good question.

Sticks and Stones

A minor point, but should "Sticks and Stones" perhaps be a page for the rhyme? I noticed you made a Wikipedia link to that rhyme at Terrorformer; currently, the above name links to Sticks & Stones (comic story), and that very story features the rhyme itself. In writing this, I've already convinced myself hehe. If I changed all the links and ev'rything, would you consider writing up the article?
× SOTO (☎/✍/↯) 02:24, March 18, 2017 (UTC)

Oh man, in checking my currently small collection of DWU prose (previous collection on another computer was far more extensive, but this will do for now), I'm getting a few hits for "sticks and stones", but none that actually continue the rhyme. Same goes for The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith, which has K9 strongly imply the meaning of the rhyme:

Mr Smith: I am perfectly able to complete that function, Clyde. There's no need to consult the dog.

K9: Sticks and stones.

That said, I don't think we need the complete rhyme to write a good page on it, as long as we can derive from the various stories which mention it the broad meaning of the phrase.

W. Hartnell

I don't see why W. Hartnell can't have a page; he died during or before the 20th century, and was buried in London. Whatever the story tells you. So many of those in the {{Coal Hill School Roll of Honours}}, or customers at Adipose Industries seen in Partners in Crime, etc, are in fact the names of various members of the production team. The Bells of Saint John even features the pictures of many of the production team, along with their names and actual online profiles, which were used in that episode. You just put a {{you may}} at the top of W. Hartnell, maybe the other way around, mention the name's significance in a BTS, and you're good to go.
× SOTO (☎/✍/↯) 02:27, April 7, 2017 (UTC)

category:Humans from unknown eras is a very useful category, indeed. I would recommend this one.

And you only need information relating this individual (they/them pronouns because of unspecified gender, remember) to the reference that establishes their existence within the story.

"X was a person who died" is not much of an article, but "After X died, they were buried in a New York cemetery, and such and such a person walked by their grave" is definitely sufficient to merit inclusion. Remember, we house articles on the most minute of references; we have a host of pages that just say the person is dead/went missing, and where their name is found.

Re:Main settings

Hey Amorkuz. Well, to be honest, I don't have a systematic way of dealing with this. What I try to do is keep the "main" part of "Main setting" in mind, really.

For the story we're mainly discussing: Slaver's Song. Almost the entire story is set on the Tupi village, but the last two or three pages lead us into Remand Station Mackay-One. This means a very small part of the story (additionally, a part of the story that doesn't really add much to that story's plot) is set on Remand, so I don't myself consider it a main setting.

Another recent example: The Pilot. A lot of anon users (mainly) kept adding Australia, Planet (The Pilot) and War zone (The Pilot) to the infobox. However, these can't really be called main settings. Sure, they appear on the story, but the Doctor and his companions spend little time on them; specially when you compare it to the time spent on St Luke's University.

But coming back to comics: I agree with you. Sadly, Comic story pages don't get edited too often, and sometimes these non-main settings tend to be left out. This is the reason why I try to put as many links and redlinks as possible on the "References" and the "Characters" sections (this way, readers can at least have a brief idea of what/who appeared on that story). Thankfully, some users like you take their time to make the pages more complete. However, I don't think that the infobox is the solution to our problem. I personally believe that we should stick to the real basics on it.

Another comic example: Beneath the Waves. The story begins with the Doctor in a ship on the deep sea, where he meets a few Quarks, after a few pages, he goes to the Twist, where he reencounters Hattie. Then, they travel to Seaton Bay. The plot of the story develops mostly on Seaton Bay. The scenes on the ship and the Twist aren't much important to the plot, if at all. Thus, I think it'd be unnecessary to add them to the infobox, because they are not main settings, just like adding the Quarks would be a bit too much, because they also don't add much to the plot.

Anyway, this reponse is getting too long as well. I don't think we (or anyone else) will get a perfect system on this, but I'd love to keep chatting about it with you. (PS: Congrats on the admin nomination. You 100% deserve it). OncomingStorm12th ☎ 01:31, April 29, 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I like this "system" you proposed very much. Though I don't exactly remember what happens on those stories, I trust you on their revelance to the respective plots.

Something slightly tangencial, but also concerns infoboxes and settings: Explaining a setting too much. For example, on What He Wants..., the infobox gives us "Hackney, London, 1962 and 2014". But is it really necessary to add "London" on the infobox? Because Hackney explains very well how Hackney is a part of London. (Not saying you, I or anyone else is to blame on this subject; this is just something I was always bothered by, but never talked about). So, as a general case, do you think these "double linking" are truly necessary? Because if we put "Location X, Location Y" on the infobox, as soon as we go to Location X, we'll learn that it is located within Location Y. Adding both seems, to me, like overcrowding the infobox. What's your opinion on that? OncomingStorm12th ☎ 23:14, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

Oh, glad to see we agree. Also, thank for pointing the third case to me. When making the page for The Dollhouse I simply added Los Angeles, because a part of the story is set on Hollywood, but most of it is set on other parts of Los Angeles. Now I see that putting Hollywood, Los Angeles on there is much more correct than just LA. This conversation is really going places. Or perhaps is it better to leave just LA? Now I think I confused myself about the "double linking". Do you think is ok to double-link in such cases? OncomingStorm12th ☎ 23:52, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

Twelfth Doctor Companions Template

You've been doing a fantastic job as an admin in the last few days, and I don't mean to disrupt your flow or hand you too many tasks. But I just wanted to inform you of several problems present at Template:Companions of the Twelfth Doctor. This template is frankly in the need a bit of a spring cleaning, evident when you open the 'view source' tab and you realise that a whole GROUP of companions has been left off by a typo calling both the prose and comics groups "group 3." That's a singular issue, there's many more.

So I whipped up a version of the template that I would think is the bests:

Here's the things that I changed/would change:

• Fixed the order of the TV companions (Clara, Nardole, Bill; not Clara, Bill, Nardole)
• Fixed the doubled "Group 3" typo which caused the entire PROSE section of the template to totally disappear.
• Removed repetitive coding and use of the word "Companions" to be more in-line with the superior Template:Companions of the Tenth Doctor
• Fixed lack of end to italics section of the template.
• Added Sonny (Clara Oswald and the School of Death) under "comics/Single-story." While it might seem like it's silly to add, the Doctor literally states to Clara "This is our new companion," which is a pretty universal way of telling us how to count "him."
• Added new section for video games, where Lumpy has been placed.

Thank you for your time, hope this isn't too much at once. OS25 (Talk) 22:21, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

I understand your decision, although I think it's hard to argue against the Doctor's blatant statement of "[This is] our new Companion." He talks to the thing, takes it everywhere with him in the story, and then tells Clara and the audience "Companion." But I won't force anyone to add that without a debate.

I actually think that most of the "companions" listed in the template really need to be discussed. It seems to me that over the years the definition of the Twelfth Doctor's companions has somehow been stretched out to "anyone that he meets in one story, even if he refuses to allow them to travel in the TARDIS." Most of these "single-story" companions probably need to be re-considered. OS25 (Talk) 19:03, May 2, 2017 (UTC)

Oh, I can explain that one actually. ("I'd like to understand how a character who only appeared in one story overall becomes a "multi-adventure" companion.") So a single-story, Multi-adventure companion happens when we see only one of their adventures but we know that more happen off-screen. Miss Young, for instance, only appears in one comic story but she's been with the Doctor for a while and at the end they head back to the TARDIS. For a time, Brian Williams (Rory's Dad) was a great example of this, because he initially only appeared in one story but it was made clear that he and the Doctor went on several trips afterwards (if you recall, he sent several post-cards). Basically, a single-story, multi-adventure companion had more adventures off-screen that we didn't see. It's a rather important distinction.

Also, while it's probably the least important change that I wanted to make, I want to point out the difference in the sorting of colomns in my versions of the template, as I think the current sorting for the comics section of the page is really ugly. As I said above, Template:Companions of the Tenth Doctor is probably the best version that we currently have. OS25 (Talk) 20:02, May 2, 2017 (UTC)

Thank you so much! The template looks so much better now, you're really cleaned it up. Great work! OS25 (Talk) 21:08, May 3, 2017 (UTC)

War Doctor Companions

Hi Amorkus, I've just noticed you've recently edited the War Doctor Companions Template, I have had on it's talk page since January to Add Heleyna and Kalan to that page, could you add them to the page between Rejoice and Ollistra? Adric♥Nyssa∩Talk? 05:55, May 3, 2017 (UTC)

Cool let me know when they revamp is going to happen and I'll help you out with any fish-y ones. Adric♥Nyssa∩Talk? 18:03, May 4, 2017 (UTC)

Re:Da

Hi, Amorkuz. Thanks for your response on my talk page. Re: the "Da" template, I can identify three problems with using it to dab (thanks for explaining that term) episode pages. Firstly, the user still has to write "[[TV]]" before the template, then add italics to the episode title, and write an extra "(TV story)" dab at the end of the link. On the other hand, the method I propose, "{{MEDIUM|[story title]}}", could take care of all three of those issues very easily. Also, surely the examples you gave (with different lines of comics publishing stories of the same name) could be taken care of by an extra dab, for instance "{{COMIC|The Promise|FCBD}}". These suggestions would seem to make editing this wiki a lot easier and less time-consuming. :) --Time Lord ☎ 14:39, May 9, 2017 (UTC)

Tuck

Hey, just wanted to explain why I left a speedy rename on Tuck. There's a character in The Incomplete Death's Head named Tuck, and since that story features the Seventh Doctor, I didn't think it would take this long for the inclusion debates to reach a consensus. Good call holding off moving the page, just wanted to clarify. OS25 (Talk) 18:10, May 9, 2017 (UTC)

Good catch. I think the conflict itself was with the species in Breakfast at Tyranny's, who are basically the Nestene Consciousness from another universe. The only real name we have for them is (as I recall) "The Wraiths," meaning that it's the best name for the page. OS25 (Talk) 18:31, May 9, 2017 (UTC)

Oh man, it's a big one issue. They kinda wrap the storyline up. The next issue will probably just be them dealing with other bad guys.

What I can tell you is that the "Wraiths" within the "dream" are identical to the "Wraiths" they encounter in the real world. OS25 (Talk) 18:50, May 9, 2017 (UTC)

Good call. OS25 (Talk) 19:25, May 9, 2017 (UTC)

Wraiths

Hey there! Nice to meet you;

I was just wondering (since you're the only Admin online right now), if I could have your opinion on a change I would like to make. I wanted to make a disambiguation page named "Wraith", since there are many types in the DWU, for example the Cloister Wraiths, among others.

This means that the existing page at "Wraith" needs to be moved, which normal users are forbidden to do. I was wondering if you could do the honours; I don't mind filling in all of the content.

Please let me know your thoughts? Many thanks; Layton4 19:14, May 9, 2017 (UTC)

So I've done some digging, and I've found that there is precedent for giving a species a DAB name if more than one story illustrates a species with such a name. See Martian, Martian, and Martian. OS25 (Talk) 19:28, May 9, 2017 (UTC)

Hi Amorkuz, I just wanted to clarify my point on the Wraith talk page!

I'm completely fine with putting off moving the page(s), I just am not fine with doing a Hunters-of-the-Burning-Stone style "block" on discussing the story as if it hasn't wrapped up. I've tried to word all of this without explaining it in detail because I really liked the comic, and wanted you to as well. So I'm not upset that the page hasn't been moved, I just didn't wanted it to be open policy that it can't be moved. Instead, when reading into the case further, I've come to agree with you.

You're welcome. Sometimes, I see other people add Speedy renames, and decide to check how many links there actually are. If there are few (in this case, only three) I move them myself. I'll now move the ones from the character, as there are only two. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 00:18, May 10, 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, no probs. I just checked, and appart from the Valley of the Gods, it seems all my current speedy renames have at least 77 links. It'd be inhumane (or in-Time Lord-ne, if that's a thing) to ask anyone to manually move this. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 00:28, May 10, 2017 (UTC)

Actor/Actress

Just a heads up Actress is roper English form as you put it in the edit history for Susan Foreman, it's one of the few English words where there is an male and female form, so Actress was acceptable on that page. Adric♥Nyssa∩Talk? 15:44, May 18, 2017 (UTC)

I don't see what the Guardian's opinion has to do with his wiki. Regardless of their opinion, the Oxford Dictionary considers "actress" to be a perfectly proper word. Certainly, I see value in using the word on this wiki for pages about particularly glamorous individuals such as Iris Wildthyme or Marlene Dietrich. CoT ? 18:34, May 18, 2017 (UTC)

Ah gotcha. The fact that you did it on Susan Foreman gave me the wrong idea. Do you plan on fixing other uses of "actress" in BTS areas? CoT ? 19:08, May 18, 2017 (UTC)

I wasn't advocating its use I was just saying it is a word. Adric♥Nyssa∩Talk? 13:02, May 19, 2017 (UTC)

Location renames

I see, but I can't quite understand how "The general rule of thumb is to make the name a single, simple word, such as (planet), (moon) or the like" applies to those cases. Yes, in general we tend to use the simple words, if the thing is the only "thing" with that name. So, if we have a character, a planet and a star system with the same name, then the small words are useful, because if quickly lets us figure out what is what.

However, this does not happen with White Rabbit (Legion). Just from the title, what is the "White Rabbit"? A place in Legion, an individual who lives there, a species who is native to Legion, or something else different? Unlike "planet", "book" and "system", "Legion" doesn't quite tells us what that the White Rabbit is.

Also, as far as I've seen, (planet), (species), (book), and the sort are only used when there is one thing with that name. As there is only one book named Black Orchid, it makes sense to use the "small word", but take a look at A Journal of Impossible Things (Human Nature) and A Journal of Impossible Things (The End of Time). By a logic similar to "(Legion)" and "(London)", these would be dabbed as "(John Smith)" and "(Verity Newman)".

Also, Forum:Peter Anghelides's future doctor naming does not cover what we're dealing with. There, it dealt with how to dab a character by it's first appearance. But our problem is greater, as we have two different places with the same name. Has there ever been a thread on how to differentiate two things that fall under the same "category" (two planets, two pubs, two pubs, etc) with the same name? OncomingStorm12th ☎ 22:13, May 20, 2017 (UTC)

Hm, I see it now. The Coal Hill example quite made me give in. Well, I guess this is one of those situations where it seems weird at first, but eventually, I'll get used to dabbing this way. Anyway, thanks for the elaborated answers, as well as taking the time on the research. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 23:24, May 20, 2017 (UTC)

Ilya or Llya?

Hi Amorkuz. I've read through T:CAST and it states "cast lists shall give the name of the character, as listed in the credits seen on first transmission of an episode". The episode I watched, and the episode presented on BBC iPlayer, shows the name as Ilya. I was wondering where Llya originated. As I understand it from the user who originally edited the name to "Ilya Sviatoslavych", the name appears on his uniform in Russian. I simply created the page in the name given on the episode page when I was making pages for the army officials. 66 Seconds ☎ 01:39, May 29, 2017 (UTC)

Ilya as it appears in the credits on the BBC.

Hi. Sorry to have bothered you. The name "Ilya Sviatoslavych" originated further down the page under the heading "Biological data". I just created the page in that name because I noticed it in the cast list earlier in the day prior to your edits so presumed it was the same in both places. I admit that I made a mistake in not checking myself whether it was verified prior to creating the page. I should have done. As for a screenshot, I have provided one from the credits as shown on the BBC. Here its say Ilya, rather than Llya. 66 Seconds ☎ 02:03, May 29, 2017 (UTC)

Sorry to intrude, but if "biological data" was where that name was linked, then it might originate from the scene where 12 is scanning Ilya with his glasses. The page for the character notes that this is also where the "70 years old" claim comes from. Perhaps this is what should be verified? OS25 (Talk) 02:11, May 29, 2017 (UTC)

Re: No Real World

Okay, yeah. I wasn't sure on the exact policy to do with images. Can these sorts of pictures go in the bts sections of these articles? From our real world knowledge we know it is them so I assume they would be allowed there? --Borisashton ☎ 18:20, June 8, 2017 (UTC)

Great, I'll work on that now. --Borisashton ☎ 18:24, June 8, 2017 (UTC)

Mind if I butt in before Borisashton starts moving everything to BTS? Surely allowing pages for these real world individuals is no different to allowing pages for unnamed songs. You yourself created The Birth of Venus using real world information to name it. CoT ? 18:31, June 8, 2017 (UTC)

Additionally what are we to do with people that only info is from The Lie of the Land such as Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King Jr? --Borisashton ☎ 18:47, June 8, 2017 (UTC)

Why is it even debatable? They are shown in-universe. That, as far as I'm aware, make them in-universe moments of Earth history as well as real world. --DCLM ☎ 18:57, June 8, 2017 (UTC)

Note: if you post questions faster than I can reply, I will not be able to reply to them all. :)

Starting from the end: This is debatable because they are part of the footage intended to implant false memories of things that did not happen into the human race.

So first of all (it was first at first), this is exactly right: for the purposes of disambiguation it is allowed to create a page under the real-world name. However, the real-world name on the page should still be confined to the BTS section, which is perfectly demonstrated by the page for the painting I created.

In other words, the real-world information is normally only allowed in BTS and, exceptionally to avoid stupid dab terms like "Female monk (The Lie of the Land)" for Mother Theresa, in the page title. However, the in-universe portion of the page should only rely on the in-universe sources. Chances are that eventually information will also be found in-universe. When that happens, then BTS content can be gradually moved into the main article.

For instance, Martin Luther King Jr page could say something like: "an image of a prominent figure from human history could be seen on screens inside the Cathedral." One could mention that the footage was black-and-white, that the person was male, maybe even Afro-American.

To be honest, I would be surprised if there is not a single mention of him in novels, short stories, or comics. Unfortunately, these often remain unreported.

One final comment about this situation. It is important to know that this footage is a forgery intended to override human memory. Thus, there is an additional degree of indeterminacy involved: we do not assume that DWU is exactly the same as the real world in general. But here, the Monks could additionally modify the footage. The images should of course be still used. But the wording of what they are should be really cautious. Amorkuz ☎ 19:19, June 8, 2017 (UTC)

So what you're saying is that the photo of Einstein, for example, can't be said to be Einstein, or the photo of Edison can't be said to be Edison... because it's not said to be them. --DCLM ☎ 20:02, June 8, 2017 (UTC)

The year would be real world only...

So that means none of them, except a select few, can be said to actually be them? The photo of Trump can't be said to be Trump and so on...? --DCLM ☎ 20:44, June 8, 2017 (UTC)

I think that the point is that you can assign names to these images, but it's best not to use those names on an in-universe basis if they've never been identified elsewhere. Also, Martin Luther King Jr was also heard in TV: Remembrance of the Daleks. OS25 (Talk) 13:29, June 11, 2017 (UTC)

Amorkuz, I've read through your posts, and I fundamentally disagree with your interpretation of how we cover the appearances of real-world figures. As long as Martin Luther King (JR) has a page, we can of course discuss from an in-universe fashion his role in TV: The Lie of the Land and Remembrance of the Daleks. We are a wiki dedicated to covering content within Doctor Who stories, and while we do it naturally within the boundaries of the DWU, there is a limit. You can't tell me that the photo of Trump isn't a photo of Trump -- because as far as our readers need to be concerned, it totally is. Even if Worf isn't directly identified in COMIC: Party Animals, our identification of him is proper, because our readers will want to know where the character shows up before the nitty-gritty details of when his name was said out-loud.

Someone going to a page on MLK will want to know about where he is referenced or brought up. They aren't going to care if it's just an image, or just a clip of audio. Suggesting culling this information is unreasonable. OS25 (Talk) 13:38, June 11, 2017 (UTC)

Another example: if someone mentions some element of Star Trek in a story, it is illogical for us to jump through hoops to connect the reference to the franchise. The statement should simply be added to the page, because people looking for information on references to Star Trek won't care about if The Enterprise has ever been clearly shown to be in the TV show Star Trek. OS25 (Talk) 13:46, June 11, 2017 (UTC)

The point is that you are suggesting a different page for all three of the current references to Martin Luther King Jr -- one for a mention of him in an audio, one for the stock audio used of him in TV: Remembrance, and one for the stock photo used of him in the episode. With such precedent as the pages for Struwwelpeter and Anthony Eden, it is obvious that at some points bends to T:NO RW can be made for the sake of our readers. As Czech states:

See, we need to balance the terms of that policy against the other need to have an easily-searchable wiki.CzechOut

So no, I am not arguing against the policy. I am arguing with you about how the policy is to be handled, and I think that trying to lie to our editors about what images of who appeared where is out-right a mis-use of the idea.

The purpose of T:NO RW is to stop individuals adding information to pages like Victoria that have no basis in any story. It would be speculation, for instance, add anything to a Martin Luther King Jr page about how he fought systemic racism, because we have no in-universe evidence of that. But it is not speculation to say that an image of Martin Luther King Jr's face in an episode of Doctor Who is an image of Martin Luther King Jr's face. And if Martin Luther King Jr is mentioned in three stories in different terms, all three references should be included on one page. OS25 (Talk) 14:41, June 11, 2017 (UTC)

Here's a recent example that I've seen some of the admins bring up on a similar situation: we've all come to agree that "Paperback Writer" by the Beatles plays in TV: The Evil of the Daleks. At no point does anyone in that story stop to say "HEY! I sure love the Beatles, who are performing this VERY SONG!" Nor do they say "OH MY WORD! IT'S PAPERBACK WRITER! THE SONG THAT IS BEING PLAYED RIGHT NOW!" And yet, we have accepted that is is ineeed Paperback Writer, a song by the Beatles, because of course we have. Who would it truly serve to bleach the information on that song from the entire site just because no one steps outside the boundaries of natural character writing to confirm to a bunch of fan boys from the future that Paperback Writer does indeed have the same name inside this fictional Sci-fi show from the '60s. A recording of MLK is a recording of MLK, just as much as Paperback Writer is a song performed by The Beatles with the title of Paperback Writer. OS25 (Talk) 14:48, June 11, 2017 (UTC)

Wholly irrelevant. I find no precedent for removing information on references to ideas on the basis that you are suggesting. If we can admit that the Beatles can be heard in TV: The Evil of the Daleks and Remembrance of the Daleks, then there is no controversy in clearly stating that the voice heard in Remembrance and the picture seen in Lie are of the same man mentioned in The Age of Revolution from an in-universe perspective.

Suggesting that two of three of the most blatant references to King shouldn't be acknowledged is ludicrous. This would be the equivalent of a story mentioning Struwwelpeter by name and all of the content currently on it being moved to the BTS section. If Remembrance were the only story to feature MLK, we would still use his name as the title for the article. Same for Lie. And yet, because a third story gives a shortened name, you are suggesting that we ignore the fact that all three stories are referencing the same man. There is no precedent for this. None at all.

It is not a break of T:NO RW to say that the Beatles can be heard in TV: The Evil of the Daleks, it's not a break of T:No RW to say that the USS Enterprise appearing on a TV must be an episode of Star Trek, and it is certainly not a break of T:No RW to say that a recording of MLK is a recording of MLK.

Aliens Among Us

Yeah I see what you mean, I was considering not having the "Part 1" myself. I actually believe we should have a Series 5 (Torchwood) page for Aliens Among Us, as this is how the series is being marketed by Big Finish, and it has the blessing of RTD. What do you think of that instead of the single anthology pages? --Revan\Talk 16:24, August 13, 2017 (UTC)

Seeing as though the anthologies are actual releases, I suppose there is sense in keeping those pages. The Big Finish news article for Aliens Among Us' release does refer to it as Series 5, too, so it's not like we're making any kind of leap by making such a page. --Revan\Talk 18:56, August 13, 2017 (UTC)

Interference (novel)

Hey there! I know a few months ago you said something on Talk:The Jago & Litefoot Revival (audio story) about extending the precedent used to combine countless multi-part stories, from The End of Time to Blood of the Daleks, to combine Interference - Book One and Interference - Book Two. As you correctly guessed there, the books present a continuous narrative, and they have the same title. The publishers clearly hint at this fact with how they released Interference: the two volumes were the only two BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures published in the same month ... in fact, they were released on the same day.

Shambala108 suggested a counterpoint about how each volume appears to have a different name on the front cover, but the "Book One" and "Book Two" labels she was referring to are exactly analogous to the "Act One" and "Act Two" on the covers of The Jago & Litefoot Revival, which didn't prevent those audios from being treated as one story.

Lethbridge-Stewart

You don't seem very familiar with Lethbridge-Stewart, and it's getting me quite flustered. It's the Vince Cosmos Enter Wildthyme situation all over again! Now I am by no means a fan of the series, but a few things you've said (with such certainty) in the last few days regarding it are flat out wrong.

Sorry if I'm being a bit harsh, but surely you would agree that the edits of admins should be accurate? Just a few days ago you said to OttselSpy25, "[Other editors] are your equals and can decide for themselves. If they make a mistake, an admin will correct them." - implying to me some sort of high standard for admin activity.

You seem to be under the impression that the Doctor is referred to as "the Thief" throughout the Lethbridge-Stewart series. The fact is that that never happens. There's one paragraph in Legacies in which a character from The Web of Fear recalls the Doctor - or (as you might perhaps see it) the role that the Doctor fills in The Web of Fear - as a thief. Not the Thief, but the thief. It's not a new made-up title, just a character remembering the Doctor as a criminal the army found in the London Underground. Cosmic Hobo tends to be the go-to term for the majority of the series.

The other big issue I have with your edits is that you don't seem to realize that the one short story with the >spoiler spoiler spoiler< is completely unique in regards to all of the short stories Lethbridge-Stewart has released. The 2015 short stories especially, because all of those were literally released for free. All other stories save The Two Brigadiers have been sold in anthologies. That one short story with the >spoiler< is much more free than all the others because it written in two days and thus not advertised to subscribers as a feature of a subscription. We'll have to wait and see whether they have the gall to publish it in an anthology.

Honestly, things would go much smoother if you just smacked a bunch of cleanup tags about. It would (hopefully) have the same effect except editors more familiar with the series could do the job. Although I suppose it could be a bit of a problem in terms of neutrality, but c'est la vie. CoT ? 19:01, August 15, 2017 (UTC)

St Michel's stuff

Hey man, thanks (I guess) for alerting me to something that I would have otherwise completely missed. Like, adding that speedy rename to St Michel War Cemetery months ago was a mindless edit which I quickly forgot. Just CoT of an era past trying to follow one of the policies around pagenames. Things might be easier if we would just allow it to be World Trade Centre, I mean wouldn't the logic that dictates that that page should be renamed World Trade Center also dictate that St Michel should be renamed St-Michel? All this focus on America feels to me like patriotism dripping into the wiki. In terms of this case, I don't see how two wrongs make a right. BUT... I realise that similar ideas probably came up with the three or four of you on Slack, so sorry for wasting your time with the last paragraph.

And please don;t feel any need to respond to this. I have literally no desire for this conversation to continue. There are much bigger fish that this wiki needs frying.

Multiple pages for Dorian Gray?

I couldn't help but notice that you're making links to Dorian Gray (fictional character); is this really necessary? I just relistened to a few bits of Shades of Gray and that story has a scene where Dorian indicates that he is the same person as the main character of The Picture of Dorian Gray. To compare this to a similar example, I certainly couldn't imagine us having a separate pages for Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes (fictional character). CoT ? 22:00, October 18, 2017 (UTC)

Moving BTS info about actors who have played Dorian Gray to Dorian Gray (fictional character), thought that would happen if the page were made. I really object to that. The information "Kate Kennedy once played Dorian Gray in Selfie, "a radical retelling of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray"." is just as relevant to Dorian Gray as played by Vlahos. CoT ? 22:15, October 18, 2017 (UTC)

Ruth Leonidas: But that's just a story, a book. It isn't real. I mean, you can't be real.

Dorian: And yet here I am before you.

I am of the opinion that it makes little sense to spread out information about a single character across several pages. Shades, Echoes, and all other stories which feature or refer to Gray all draw from a single source. They're all intended to be Wilde's Dorian Gray.

Again, like all the Who-related stories featuring Sherlock Holmes which usually only ever care about their relationship with the Doyle canon, and not with the continuity established in other Who-related Holmes stories. Are we to make a separate page for Santa Claus (fictional character) if some story definitively states that Santa isn't real? Or Jar Jar Binks?

I see (fictional/real) as a contradiction no different than (met the Doctor for the first time in 1599/knew the Doctor since childhood). All stories featuring Shakespeare are intended to feature the famous playwright; all stories featuring Dorian Gray are intended to feature the famous immortal with a spoopy painting.

Accusations

Hi Amorkuz. I feel the need to give my side of the story. I just want to assure you and the other admins that User:Xx-connor-xX's accusations are baseless. As I said on his talk page, the only corrections that I made to any of his edits were of the following kind: I changed the Doctor to the Tenth Doctor (or the Fourth Doctor in some cases) and, for instance, changed (COMIC: The Memory Collective) to (COMIC: The Memory Collective). He was already making these mistakes and making them continually. It was not an issue of me changing his edits so that he would begin to cite things incorrectly.

Furthermore, it was never my intention to intimidate him in fixing his systemic editing errors. --GusF ☎ 11:29, November 2, 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I likewise suspect that this unfortunate situation is the result of a misunderstanding. I certainly understand that investigations need to be carried out in circumstances like this. You'll have my complete cooperation throughout. While I obviously wish that this scenario had not arisen, I am entirely satisfied that these investigations will be conducted in a fair and impartial manner. In fact, one thing that I've always liked about the Wiki is that it stringently enforces its policies and makes every effort to ensure a pleasant and efficient editing experience for all users. Thank you. --GusF ☎ 13:04, November 2, 2017 (UTC)
