User talk:Drummer who
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.
Images
Your image placement is against our Manual of style policy and could be seen as vandalism.--Skittles the hog 14:17, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
Warning
Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions here, please review our vandalism policy and consider whether all your edits have been made in the spirit of that policy.
To the user who placed this tag: This message is pretty general and should usually be avoided. Please use one of the messages at {{warn list}}, or write a brief message of your own that tells the user specifically how they can improve their editing.

Images, articles and editing
Hi, please do not use the 'upload new version of this file' link for anything other than uploading a new file that is the same as the image that exists in that file name (the new version refers to it being a different resolution or cropped or something along those lines).
Additionally, the Fez article is about the Fez as an object the image of River Song holding the gun doesn't show the Fez. So she could be pointing it at anything, it especially doesn't make any sense if you haven't seen The Big Bang.
Please also when uploading images add an image tag using the drop down licensing menu, if images are not tagged they will be removed from articles and deleted (as only the uploaded really knows the source of the image and therefore can tag it the image they're uploading).
Finally please look to the layout of pages and preview all edits, placing images at the top of pages, next to where the infobox begins brings formatting issues to the page; placing the image to the right of the infobox and pushing the infobox into the right of the page. Images that need to be included within the article should go after the infobox within the body of the article. Images should be there to add to the text not just as an illustration in and of themselves. Thanks. I'd also encourage you to have a look through our Tardis:Help pages and our Tardis:Manual of Style. --Tangerineduel 14:50, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
