commas

We seem to be having a wrangle about commas. In particular, you seem intent on making sure that commas appear in places where they are not optional (as they may be when preceeding "and"; I cut those out anyway unless they are mandatory) but others in which you think they mark off a subordinate clause -- which, if they were, would be mandatory. However, your analysis is wrong.

In particular, in the article on Julie Legrand, you have

Julie Legrand played the Partisan in the Doctor Who story, The End of Time.

It's a fairly subtle point, but The End of Time is not a subordinate clause which further defines the preceding. This can be better appreciated by removing it.

Julie Legrand played the Partisan in the Doctor Who story.

This sentence is nonsense. It leaves you hanging for definition, because there is no item which can reasonably be called "the Doctor Who story." I think you have confused this with what would have happened had the indefinite article been used. Had the sentence read

Julie Legrand played the Partisan in a Doctor Who story, The End of Time.

You can remove the clause and still have a meanginful, if vague sentence. This difference renders the phrase a subordinate clause.

Anyway, I am going to leave this particular article alone until the normal course of events (hitting it on the random button or noticing that it has recently been edited a lot and so may need a cleanup) brings it to my attention again to give you a chance to think about this. Sorry to lecture a fellow decent writer -- it embarasses me to do so -- but we seem to be working at cross purposes here. Boblipton ^{talk to me} 14:10, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Uncat images

I actually want to wait until 31 December to do the next clean, precisely because I'm expecting an influx of new, unlicensed images.

However, earlier today, I made some changes that might stem the tide of unlicensed images. Open an edit window and hit the add photo button on the right. You'll see much clearer instructions.

Oh, also, preloads work again, though I'm still tinkerin' just a bit.

Adminship

Hello, Mini-mitch, with my greatest copliments, I woul like too become an admin, for mostly, improving this Wiki. (Please note that I know how to work being an admin, I'm the only on Just William Wiki!) Metardis ^{talk to me} 14:05, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Hi, in the reply you sent me, just now I realised that after I made the mistakes on policies I got blocked for 24 hours. I'm trying not to make this mean, regards - Metardis ^{talk to me} 08:44, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

is it all right?

me again, is it all right if I archive your reply and then ask User:Tangerineduel if I can be one? Also, do you leave nonimations on the talk page of the link you sent me, or on the page? Metardis ^{talk to me} 14:26, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Outnumbered

Shouldn't Category:Actors who appeared in the Outnumbered franchise be Category: Actors who appeared in Outnumbered? It's not a franchise, as it consists of the original TV show and nothing else. No spin-offs, no video games, no merchandise, no other media except for DVD releases. Digifiend 00:35, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Images

I'm sorry for the Pictures. There were none I could find without the logo's.

Songs category deleted

I created a new Category:Stories with songs, which you promptly deleted. I'd love to know why. Did I miss a policy somewhere? -- Gousha ^{talk to me} 19:15, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for the explanation. My intent was to have a category for those stories where there's singing involved, but I also quickly realized it could be diluted with background songs. I didn't have a good solution for that. I'll endeavour to put more thought into any new categories in the future. -- Gousha ^{talk to me} 21:03, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Brilliant Books

Thanks. I've gotten through all of the 2012 pages except The Moon, and I plan to tackle 2011 the next few days.

On a side note, I see you've deleted a few pages that were 100% based off of the book, but wouldn't it be better to keep them under the "Non-canon" category? Like we've done The Master (Scream of the Shalka) and Splinx? Just to expand the wiki to its limits, if nothing else. Thanks for the help! OS25 (talk to me.) 01:18, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Category creation

You seem to be in a "Category: Actors who appeared in XXX" mood. While some of the elder ones seem to have little in the way of linkage to Doctor Who apart from the fact that busy supporting actors turn up everywhere, most do have some "stickiness". Could you explain your criteria for these new categories? Boblipton ^{talk to me} 00:41, December 31, 2011 (UTC)

Images

I got a message from you about a week ago regarding the images I uploaded, and that they had to be deleted due to having network logos on them, though I've seen Loads of images on different pages on this wiki which have network logos on them, though they weren't deleted! So how come only mine were Deleted??!!

Why has the artwork for The Wedding of River Song been removed from the 'Lee Johnson' page?
