User talk:Delton Menace
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:
Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this:Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask an admin.

Hi. Unless the user is doing something specifically against our Tardis:Vandalism policy, or being abusive towards users (see Tardis:What the TARDIS Index File is not#What the TARDIS Index File Doctor Who Wiki community is not) there isn't much in the way of our policy that I can do anything. The user has been warned not to deleted other's posts or talk pages. Please feel free to inform me should any of this escalate into what I've described. --Tangerineduel 07:55, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
User page
IP user has been blocked for 6 months. I can also delete your user page (so it goes back to not existing) if you want. --Tangerineduel 13:10, December 25, 2009 (UTC)
Large spacing
Please do not large amounts of spacing to articles. Thank You. Bigshowbower 11:18, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
I may have gotten the wrong end of the stick Im sorry, but either way if you do see the large spacing please remove it instead of leaving. If you have problems inform an admin. --Bigshowbower 12:23, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
- I've noticed that the new default "magic" editor likes to introduce large spacing all over the place. I've set my default to the standard editor and never have the issues with extra spacing. Just fyi. -- sulfur 15:20, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
How do you change it, exactly? Delton Menace 16:25, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, I missed that you'd asked this along the way. I'm guessing (from the random spacing you're still introducing) that you're still using the rich text editor?
- If so, I would strongly recommend going to the "more" option in the upper right, choosing preferences, scroll down to "editing preferences", and turn off the "rich text editing". It does a lot of really poor formatting things to articles and makes a multitude of changes that should not be made. -- sulfur 22:27, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
thanks
Thanks for agreeing with me on Forum:Children of Earth. It sucks how all the admins and greatly respected users are against it, though. Still, thanks. I'm A Hydroponic Tomato! Bigredrabbit 23:30, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Lucy Saxon
However we're applying our own POV to things by stating absolutely that she is dead. Commentaries mean nothing, as it's what happens on screen that counts (they can be acknowledged, of course, in out-of-universe real world content). To give an example, someone could write that Harry Sullivan is dead, based on the fact Ian Marter is dead and that the first episode of Sarah Jane Adventures includes a line of dialogue that strongly suggests Harry is no longer alive. But unless they out and say it, we can't say with 100% certainty for any character. Alternately, Geoff Noble is definitely dead, because this has now been referenced directly in Partners in Crime and indirectly in the End of Time finale. If Moffat decides to write a future story with the Master (who likewise cannot be said to have died) and Lucy, there is nothing on screen that would prevent him from doing so. 23skidoo 18:50, January 5, 2010 (UTC)
Spacing on articles
You're still adding a ton of blank spacing to articles when you edit them. Are you still using the "fancy" editor?
If so, I would strongly recommend going to the "more" option in the upper right, choosing preferences, scroll down to "editing preferences", and turn off the "rich text editing". It does a lot of really poor formatting things to articles and makes a multitude of changes that should not be made. -- sulfur 16:50, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
Series 5 Discontinuity
The thing is it should not be in The End of Time, the suit you have seen is from the trailer for Series 5 and or set photo it has no place on the The End of Time page. When the first episode of Series 5 airs, which shows the suit and it being ripped you can then raise that issue. --Bigshowbower 12:07, January 8, 2010 (UTC)
The End of Time
Is it me or is The End of Time discontinuity section getting out of hand, I had to remove a few things regarding Rassilon and his immortality. I would appreciate if you can watch out for that section as well.
- I think I might removed anything regarding Rassilon's immortality and as you said bring the two Time Lords to Earth as well. I think its descended into just plain and annoying nitpicking. --Bigshowbower 03:57, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
Oh, here we go again! The stupid questions return! That question regarding the two Weeping Time Lords going to Earth was wrote down again, and the answer removed (again), a stupid question of why the Master counted how many times he hit Rassilion (does it really matter?), which was four counts (you'd think they would have guessed by now), why the Master had power (answered a billion times in the story, to do with his life force), and why the Vinvoochi left the Gate behind (they clearly said they were leaving Earth before it got "knocked out of orbit").
Why do people ask such stupid questions that have little meaning, and are answered in the episode itself? Well, it is either questions clearly answered in the episode, or questions that have nothing to do with discontinuity and have little meaning. *sigh* Of course, I cleared the pointless questions out, they were flooding the discontinuity section and had no meaning.
