Update

Just thought you might want to know that I contacted wikia regarding the background issue. They promptly replied with:

We are currently having some image server issues going on related to purging of images from our caches as they are uploaded. Our technical team is currently working on finding the cause and resolving it.Wikia

They didn't provide a time-scale for a solution so I can only hope its prior to Saturday. Thanks----Skittles the hog--Talk 15:17, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Is the new background fitting on your screen? It's aligned to the right a bit more than the last one. Thanks----Skittles the hog--Talk 15:29, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Really? I haven't touched it. I'll upload a new version moved left a bit. You may have to refresh your cache in 5. Thanks for helping me "perfect" this. :)----Skittles the hog--Talk 15:32, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

I think you may have missed it as it's a bit obscure. I've uploaded a new version now.----Skittles the hog--Talk 15:38, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. I have been notified of similar problems. I think its just a case of finding a size that fits the majority.----Skittles the hog--Talk 15:15, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Done!----Skittles the hog--Talk 16:55, May 6, 2011 (UTC)

Come on, Revan! (RE: Doug86)

Do you hate Doug86? Cokme on, admit it! I certainly do! Do you dislike Doug86? Do you? Has he ever deleted a page straight away that you created like 90.215.45.50's Temporal Anomaly? Well? Doug87 19:27, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

PS: Leave the answer below, please, as I have no talk page. Doug87 19:29, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

"Doug87"

I've deleted the message you left on "Doug87" as the user doesn't exist (if they did they'd have a talk welcome page), the user page/contributions page has no contributions or deleted contributions. I think there's a few IP users masquerading as "Doug87", the user who left the talk comment above (90.210.131.149) also left a few talk page comments on my talk page where they pretend to be 4 different users. I've deleted your comment left on "Doug87"'s talk page just so the user doesn't gain any legitimacy (please restore it if you think it should be left intact though). Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:27, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

Deletion policy

Hey, I just wanted to ask you opinion on adding the following to Tardis:Deletion policy (or something to the same affect).

"Brevity is not a reason for deletion unless the subject matter is covered by an article with a similar agenda."

I'm not trying to suggest we list all the invalid reasons for deletion but cases like this seem to be quite prevalent and so it would be nice to have something to refer to. It's not a big change, but it would be quite handy. What do you think?----Skittles the hog--Talk 13:08, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

We need to settle the validity of FP as a resource before you continue adding tons of material about it

Please stop writing articles so as to suggest that an FP source has claimed something about Gallifrey, Time Lords, the Doctor, or any other BBC-copyrighted item. If you can't produce a page number in a FP book that actually says "Gallifrey"' then don't claim that an FP source talks about Gallifrey. I know you love FP, and you're au fait with all the little "code words" and sly references to BBC concepts, but please don't go beyond what the text actually says.

It's highly misleading to readers to claim that Of the City of the Saved... says something about a Time Lord named Handramit who left Gallifrey when neither "Time Lord" nor "Gallifrey" appears in the text of the book.

There is only one narrative about Faction Paradox that is true to the DWU, and that's the one that happened in the EDAs. The Lawrence Miles spin-off wasn't allowed to refer to anything in the DWU by its proper name for legal reasons. We can't now go back in and try to decipher the code language that he used to get around legal restrictions. It's absolute madness for us to attempt something like that.

Obviously this is just my very strong opinion, and not policy. I'm just asking you to stop making these kind of articles until the matter can be settled once and for all by community consensus.

Protection

Hey, just wanted to make sure you know that the protection template only forms that label, it doesn't protect the article. I protected River Song; just undo it when your done. :)----Skittles the hog--Talk 19:14, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. Good move.----Skittles the hog--Talk 19:59, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I'm really worried about this lock that you and Skittles have jointly done at River Song. Locking a main character's page during the period of time when most editors really want to write about that character is a bit of an own goal. Fine, we want to protect pages about stories that haven't been published before. But locking River Song after an episode with a big revelation about her? We really don't have any cause to do that, except possibly if there were an actual edit war. We want a lot of activity after episodes are broadcast. Sure there might be moments where an article reads rough during that creative process, but we don't want to stop all editing dead in its tracks. In simplest terms, that's just no fun for our editors. We're already having a tough time making them understand why they've got to wait until an episode is broadcast to edit the page about it. We can't very well then turn around and say, "Now you can't edit after that episode has gone out."

We want people writing when they're most enthusiastic about a subject. Some of the revisions are gonna be crap, but if we have faith in the wiki process, the article will soon find its level.

Also, you're kinda misrepresenting things at Talk:River Song#Why is it locked? when you say, "it was protected before". Yes, the article has been protected before, but never locked. There is no precedent for this action you've taken; I'm pretty sure that I've never seen a new series character page ever fully locked before.

Please remove the lock ASAP. It's pissin' reasonable editors off, as evidenced by the discussion on the rest of the page. Indeed, editors who could have helped you police the page have now been alienated by the lock. Locking isn't really supposed to be done in the main namespace, save for instituting a cool-down period during a genuine edit war. As indicated at tardis:protection policy, Its main use is really in other namespaces, like template:, file:, tardis: and help:.

Eight image

Seeing as you are sort of the Eighth Doctor guru, I was wondering if you prefer this image? The current one makes him look a bit bashful.----Skittles the hog--Talk 21:18, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

The Absolute

I don't suppose you remember but your revision of the Absolute categorised it under robots. I just categorised it under Unique beings as I wasn't sure. Any insight as to which it was, I cannot remember?----Skittles the hog--Talk 17:32, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Reverted The Eternity Trap

Why was my edit for The Eternity Trap's crew members removed entirely? According to the Format for television stories, it's perfectly fine, if not outright preferred to use Template:Wales crew for the BBC Wales spinoffs. 94.2.154.27 19:54, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

And yes, I know about the whole "two casting directors not showing up" bit, which I asked at the tag's discussion page to sort out around the same time I edited. Still doesn't completely answer my question. 94.2.154.27 20:00, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Not 100% sure what you mean about "neither showing up", though. I can see one of them just fine in the previous edit. Are credits beneath that not working or something? 94.2.154.27 20:24, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Category problems

Are you currently unable to add categories in the usual way when in editing mode? At the moment I'm having to type them out by hand and was wondering if this problem was widespread or just personal.--Skittles the hog--Talk 15:39, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I love quotes, it almost makes it worth the problem...almost.----Skittles the hog--Talk 16:01, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Time Field

I was wondering, why did you rename Cracks in Time to Time Field, when quite a lot of people would agree that Cracks in Time would be a better name, AND delete the talk page? TroopDude

Edits on River Song page

Hello, can you tell me the reason why you have reverted my edits on the River Song page? I spent quite some time delving into episodes for quotes and details so that the information is accurate. If you have anything to say about the accuracy we can discuss it, but to completely revert my edits there has to be a good reason. Dakovski 05:25, July 4, 2011 (UTC)

Help

As an independent admin, I was wondering if you could review the situation at Talk:Silurian#Main image. I think that User:Cortion has breached Tardis:No personal attacks, but as the target, it would be unfair to take action myself. Sorry to pressure you, there's no rush. Thanks----Skittles the hog--Talk 11:14, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

If he has, I would suggest leaving the block until the discussion is finished. Which should hopefully be soon. Mini-mitch\talk 11:19, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to give me such a well laid out opinion. Yeah, Mini-mitch is right, the discussion should come first.----Skittles the hog--Talk 11:39, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

So you are going to block me then? Cortion 12:33, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Please don't block me! I'm extremely sorry! I will change! Just give me a chance! Cortion 12:42, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Why don't you block Skittles the hog, why me? I've done nothing! Cortion 12:48, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

I still don't understand. Just give me Saturday, Sunday and Monday off. I can cool down then. Tuesday if you must. But please not for a week! Cortion 13:02, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

You are a very upsetting user, Revan. Cortion 13:09, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, but even though he was very hostile, I can't help feeling sorry for him. :( ----Skittles the hog--Talk 13:14, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Oh, of course, we must observe policy. I wasn't trying to sway your judgement, just voice an opinion. Sorry for any confusion caused.----Skittles the hog--Talk 13:22, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Christ!

Yep, thanks, that helps a lot.

Morgan

Hi,

Just to say that I think Owen's involvment in the story is relevant, and also Ed didn't try to hug Gwen, this is a mistake. He threw himself onto the knife. That was deliberate; he is suicidal, paranoid and depressed.

Hon Mrs Saxon

Hullo there! I'm an experienced Wikian and I see you've reverted my first edit without citing a reason. I hate to bother, but would you mind explaining, please? DBD 20:55, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

It's not at all based on speculation – the article itself lists The Lord Cole of Tarminster as Saxon's father. That automatically means she was The Honourable. That's about as solid as it gets. I'm not new to this DBD 23:27, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

The Impossible Astronaut

Please state the reason for your reversion of my edit to The Impossible Astronaut, it was done in good faith, added information, and contains substantiated information from episode footage. Cowbert 02:43, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

Zamper

Heya :) I'm not quite sure why you re-created Zamper (planet). Maybe you just didn't read the list of previous deletions before you hit "submit". (Maybe, somehow, you got to the create page in such a way that you bypassed the delete log.) In any event, please remember that tardis:disambiguation policy would give the un-disambiguated form to the in-universe item, in this case, the planet. You'll therefore find a thriving article on this topic at Zamper.
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍  <span style="">13:08:16 Fri 12 Aug 2011 

No worries. I think that was actually my fault for not having the bot look at the novel page when it was doing the original switchover from Zamper to Zamper (novel) and Zamper (planet) back to Zamper. I just manually changed the novel page, though. See it's stuff like this that makes me believe that all stories should just be auto-disambigged. I do at least five of these kind of switchoevers every week.

Dependence Day

Having just properly disambigged Independence Day (novel), I gotta ask: is there a thing in Dependence Day called "Dependence Day"? Like, is it an actual (holi)day in the DWU? If so, please let me know, please start writing up an article about the day on your sandbox, and please start linking to Dependence Day (short story). I'll then take care of the changeover with the bot, and you can transfer the contents of your sandbox to Dependence Day once the move has been completed. Thanks.

Hi Reven, not feeling brilliant at the mo, but just catching up on some bits (been busy at work for months now.

Page delete

Hi Revanvolatrelundar (wow, that's a mouth full), and I recently created River Song (Mels), which you subsequently deleted. I'm an active member of multiple Wikia communities, and so I was wondering why was it deleted? I was under the impression that pages were being created for all of Melody Pond/River Song's incarnations, including Mels. The reason I assumed this was for two reasons. One, being the talk page discussion, and two being the creation of Melody Pond (River Song). I have realised, that I named the article incorrectly, and while creating the article I was planning to request it be moved to the proper name, being 'Melody Pond (Mels)', but before I could it was deleted. Thanks for your time, Rassilon of Old ^{(Talk - Contribs)} 13:01, August 28, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, but that's the same situation with Melody Pond (River Song), is that to be deleted too? Are we going to have seperate articles for seperate incarnations of Melody? Rassilon of Old ^{(Talk - Contribs)}

Thanks, I'll bring it up. :) Rassilon of Old ^{(Talk - Contribs)} 13:08, August 28, 2011 (UTC)

River Song

Sorry, they were already there when I added those categories. I didn't establish the pages myself. Should those pages be removed, then? -- Tybort -- Tybort (talk page) 14:46, August 28, 2011 (UTC)

DWM categories

When categorising the DWM issue, remember to alphabetise them by issue. So DWM 404 would be alphabetised as " 404". The space is essential. Please could you add this to the ones you have already done. Thanks for helping out.--Skittles the hog - talk 09:48, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for helping recategorise the DWMs. Just though you might want to know that we accidentally made the DWM achievements unobtainable as there are no longer any articles in category:DWM issues.--Skittles the hog - talk 12:39, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

I can't see a way around this, so if asked, deny everything.--Skittles the hog - talk 12:54, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

River

OK, fine, speculation on the main article is not allowed. But can I instate the 'speculation' about where she lived during the Mels era in the 'behind the scenes' section of the article??
