Self wikifying

Hi if you are the Russell McGee that has a page on this wiki, please note that Tardis:Valid sources states that authors, actors and other crew may not edit pages about themselves or their works. In addition, please note that Tardis:Username policy forbids the use of "sockpuppets".

We also have a rule against plagiarism; see Tardis:Plagiarism. Thanks Shambala108 ☎ 18:27, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Re the recent edit on Russell McGee: You certainly haven't been following the rules up until now, and technically speaking, since you aren't Krohn, you're arguably still committing plagiarism, per T:DON'T COPY. But this looks on the surface like a reasonable edit, modulo concerns about conflicts of interest and overly florid prose. Najawin ☎ 06:37, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Briefly adding my two cents in this: please, in the futre, add original content rather than "adapting from outside sources", however much you adapt it. As a Wiki, we mostly prefer to have original content. That said, I do have a small issue with the current setup of Russell McGee: beyond the (very briefs) two first paragraphs, the page turns from "DWU-related biography of the individual" into "extremely detailed biography of this person's career and background".

But we're not Wikipedia, where all of that information would be surely suited. We, as a Doctor Who (and it's spin-offs) Wiki, are only in need of whatever is related to McGee's DWU career. Notice how even on high-profile pages like Russell T Davies and Steven Moffat we don't deviate too much to their career previous and post-Who. But anyway, that's more a concern for a {{cleanup}} template on that page. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 19:32, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
