User talk:CzechOut
Thanks for your recent edits! I'm Jimbo, your robot wiki representative! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is actually a great time to have joined, because we're now fully independent, and working on a host of new features!
We've got a couple of important quirks for a fan written wiki, so let's get them out of the way first.
British English, please
We generally use British English 'round these parts, so if you use another form of English, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card.
Spoilers aren't cool
We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details.
Other useful stuff
Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:
- the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
- our Manual of Style
- our image use policy
- our user page policy
If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! — you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:

Re; Recommend delete (Price article)
Hi, just for future reference {{proposed deletion}} will place a delete banner on the page and put the article in the proposed deletions category. Thanks. 07:56, 18 June 2008 66.92.67.202
Just wanted to say thanks on the stubs, (I admit that I mainly just copied and adjusted the names from the original stub), and for adding pictures. I was just curious about the alignment of them, the audio one is aligned to the right and the TV one is centred...also I think it might be better for all the stub templates to have a border around them (just to know where the article ends and the box begins and all that. Also while I'm praising I'll also be a bit picky (sorry), minor edits are for, well minor alterations spelling, punctuation that sort of stuff, anything else it isn't a minor edit. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:58, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
- Re: Real world. It's mainly articles that don't have a lot of content Jasmine Breaks for example, the template sort of hovers over the external links header. In the Doctor Who theme page it doesn't really matter because there's enough content to push everything down, but a lot of the real world pages are lacking in content. --Tangerineduel 16:30, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Monobook. --Tangerineduel 16:34, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Well...That's a good enough argument. But there are (I think) a lot more articles with not a lot, and plenty which I'm sure that'll stay that way for a long while (articles such as Tony Imi, Charles Parnell and Norman Greaves). (Sorry, not much in terms of an alternative the whole coding thing isn't quite my forte) --Tangerineduel 16:58, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- I was going to say, (when you got to this edit), it's good, about as good as we're going to get (that works across all skins). It might give some people the nudge to fill in the articles that are just one line. It's certainly better than some permutations (the centre aligned one was perhaps not the best). --Tangerineduel 17:29, 24 June 2008 (UTC)--Tangerineduel 17:29, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
MagnifiedMaster.jpg
Ah, sorry about that, I do remember looking at the page. I deleted either by mistake or that I thought it was a faked image, sorry about that. --Tangerineduel 07:25, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Going overboard
ok Skirmish at Tranquil Repose wasn't needed but articles such as these other ones are still a vital part of the wiki whether they have names or not other wise we have articles on charcters, technology and the like but not the evens that they appeared in Dark Lord Xander 09:15, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
I created Skirmish as Tranquil repose and Battle on the Dalek Saucer as they are key points in there respective stories and have a place on the wiki wheater or not you think so.--Skittles the hog 12:07, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Why are you deleting battle pages
All of the battles that have happened in the doctor who universe why are you deleting them. They tell people about all the wars and battles the doctor has been in. I just want to know why you are doing this (Catkind121 29 July 13:31.
Gisella ! Opps!!
Thanks for the heads up on that one! Been away for a bit...got some tidying up to do I think. Didn't even think anyone would notice yet lol. I wanted to read on before developing this (short) entry - opps a spoiler. Anyway its on my list thanks again! The Librarian 21:50, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
Spiral nebula
Yikes! I didn't realize you were in the middle of article work on spiral nebula (and an apparent edit situation with an anonymous IP) when I dropped in to switch the tense on a word. Apologies if that created an edit conflict at your end. 23skidoo 23:25, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
TDL
Hi! The MAIN content of the TDL website reinforces the text in the book, segments are re-presented as bite size snippets and the games tend to progress and follow the books overall storyline. Any new material, so far, seems to be in the visuals which are unlocked as you go through (eg wallpapers) which I've included in this wiki with links to the appropriate download site. A further wallpaper for each title is now being offered following a link given in the Doctor Who Adventures magazine with each new release (which Ive also included.
The site has some other content background to authors and the like, but there is nothing substantial (eg authors favourite monster and Doctor etc.) bearing in mind the target age group (I'm doing it purely for research purposes of course, you understand!! -says me smiling to myself! Damn those games can be frustrating!!!).
As its an ongoing work in progress, Im trying to avoid spoiling it by, waiting for a new book to be released before reporting on the previous title and as I develop the coverage other articles will be expanded. I know it looks clumsy but some of the articles, I am aware, are simply a series of 'notes so far' (perhaps I should ensure these pages are stubbed).
Hope this helps towards answering your question.The Librarian 11:42, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Easter Eggs
Just wondered, any thoughts on how best to cover these, all on one page or tied to DVD releases - Im sure you have given it some thoought! Let me know The Librarian 01:35, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
