Hi everybody. Big Doctor Who fan here, happy to contribute to what will become the ultimate resource for info about the show. My main priority at the moment is getting story pages up to scratch.

Story articles I've edited so far:

The Web Planet, Arc of Infinity, Survival, The Mark of the Rani, The Daleks' Master Plan, The Tomb of the Cybermen, The Green Death, Logopolis, Robot, Castrovalva, Time-Flight, Vengeance on Varos, Timelash, Carnival of Monsters, The Invasion, The Sontaran Experiment, The Seeds of Death, The Hand of Fear, Inferno, The Keeper of Traken, The Ribos Operation, The Claws of Axos, The Pirate Planet.

Next up: The Mind Robber.

The ones I edited first are only half-complete. I will eventually get back to these and finish (well, do what I can) them.

After that, who knows, I'll probably just edit random articles.

Story Summary

From the back cover of the individual Region 2 release:

The Doctor's own people - the Time Lords - have foreseen a time in which the Daleks dominate all other lifeforms in the universe. So disturbing is this possibility, that they break their own Laws of Time in an attempt to change the future. And who better to send on this quest than their own renegade number - the Doctor.

Unwillingly transported into the fields and trenches of a battle-exhausted Skaro, the Doctor must face his most dangerous mission ever - to prevent the Daleks from ever being created.
