User talk:MercM
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.
Dates (Children of Earth)
Hey, I noticed you keep changing the dates from 2009 to 2010 in Children of Earth. It is clearly set in September 2009 - as the newspaper states. Please do not change them until any upcoming episodes state the real dates. Since Russell T. Davies put the Whoniverse one year in the future, it is most likely he is trying to put it back to normal.

- Fair enough. I never actually seen the date myself so yeah I suppose it will probably be in 2010. Even though this doesn't mean anything, in The Sarah Jane Adventures series 2, set in 2009, there is little mention of the Dalek invasion either apart from one reference. Sorry anyway for changing it to 2009. Whoniverse93 23:30, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
