==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. --[[User:Tangerineduel|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. --[[User:Tangerineduel|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  [[pyramid]]s 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 ''sub''category (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.  '''[[User:CzechOut|<span style="background:blue;color:white">Czech</span><span style="background:red;color:white">Out</span>]]'''  [[User talk:CzechOut|☎]] | [[Special:Contributions/CzechOut|<font size="+1">✍</font>]] 13:16, November 27, 2010 (UTC)

== images doctor ==
 
can we make an exception with these article, its really hard to get good images. ([[User:Ceryu|Ceryu]] 22:09, October 24, 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. --[[User:Tangerineduel|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. --[[User:Tangerineduel|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.[[User:Zythe|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.[[User:Zythe|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.[[User:Zythe|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.

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?--[[User:Skittles the hog|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--[[User:Skittles the hog|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?--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]] 21:20, October 30, 2010 (UTC)
 
:Well it clearly links the number and the word minute.--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]] 14:05, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

when was their claws shown in new earth? who's claws was shown? who was he/she going to scratch? and was he/she going to kill that person? [[User:Kingdomcode|Kingdomcode]] 00:09, October 31, 2010 (UTC)Kingdomcode
 
==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. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 11:10, October 31, 2010 (UTC)

Hi The Thirteenth Doctor. I have just become an admin on The Sarah Jane Adventures Wiki. I think [[User:Mini-mitch|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. [[User:Ghastly9090|Ghastly9090]] 16:17, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

==Spoilers in [[forum:The Howling|The Howling]]==
I see that you recently chastised [[user:Ghastly9090|Ghastly9090]] for including spoilers in The Howling.  However, you seem to hold a mistaken view of that forum.  The Howling is ''not'' a spoiler-free zone, as the text at [[forum:The Howling]] makes ''very'' clear.  I'm sorry that your experience of series 6 might've been spoiled, but it's hardly Ghastly9090's fault that he used The Howling ''appropriately''. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''17:34:20 Sat&nbsp;'''16 Apr 2011&nbsp;</span>
:You've answered your own question when you noted that "nowhere [in the spoiler policy] does it say spoilers can be discussed on the Howling or on any forum".  Precisely.  What policy doesn't restrict, it implicitly allows.  And, again, there's a big ol' warning at [[Forum:The Howling]] that says, "there be spoilers here". 
 
:It comes down to a practical issue of policing.  In order to determine whether something is or isn't a spoiler, an admin would have to look at it.  If the admin doesn't want to be spoiled, then he or she is forced into the uncomfortable position of having to spoil his enjoyment of the program in order to uphold his duties as an admin of enforcing policy. Thus, it's simply best to ''allow'' spoilers in The Howling and to put up a warning that there ''are'' spoilers present there. 
 
:In effect, there's no way to operationalize a spoiler ban in the Howling, so '''there is no ban'''.  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''19:07:21 Sat&nbsp;'''16 Apr 2011&nbsp;</span>
::You're selectively quoting from the paragraph, in my view.  The thing reads in full:
:::Spoiler information relating to not-yet-released stories must be kept to series or, in some cases, story articles. Please do not create articles about narrative elements rumoured to exist within stories that haven't been released. It is impossible to verify such things before the story is released.
::As the second and third sentences go on to say, it's talking about keeping spoiler information on story/series pages versus putting them on in-universe (i.e. narrative element) articles.  It doesn't '''at all''' talk about your user page, a file description page, a template, or the forum.  If it had meant to ban that, it would have talked about those namespaces.  Instead, the paragraph as a whole is talking about the main namespace.   
 
::But I think you're missing the point.  It's ''impossible'' to police this without requiring that admin spoil their own enjoyment of the show.  Even if every admin were willing to submit to a "tough, you must be spoiled to be an admin here" kinda policy, the sheer ''workload'' of keeping up with the Howling would be ridiculous.  Particularly when the show is actively in season.  The whole point of The Howling, from my perspective, is that it's essentially a place where users can do what they want (so long as they don't violate copyright or deliberately defame people).  Again, '''there is a warning''' up on the Howling's page saying that spoilers are allowed.  I really can't understand why you're ignoring that, or trying to find some loophole in the spoiler policy.  It's just not a thing admin are obligated, by policy, to actively worry about.
 
::If you'd like clearer language on the spoiler policy, fine, I"m willing to change it to ''specifically'' say "Spoilers are allowed in the Howling."  But that wouldn't represent a change to policy.  It would just add emphasis. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''20:39:23 Sat&nbsp;'''16 Apr 2011&nbsp;</span>
 
==Adventure Games==
hi there!
 
I downloaded the adventure games from last year and have the same bug on the loading of the third episode. Can you tell me how did you get around it? Did you reinstall everything or? (I don't wanna lose my collectibles ;))
 
thanks
