User talk:Notsimonpegg
NotsimonpeggThanks for your edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!
We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia 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're American, 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
- a list of people whose job it is to help you
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 on my talk page. Skittles the hog ☎ 21:38, November 30, 2014 (UTC)
Images
I'd like to point you to Tardis:Guide to images. Please remember not to put images in the middle of paragraphs. Also, don't specify a size, just leave it at "thumb". Thanks. P&P talk contribs 23:40, December 1, 2014 (UTC)
Please take a break
Hey, I'm going to have to block you for an hour to give you a chance to read through our image policies, located at Thread:148148, and noted above on your talk page by User:PicassoAndPringles. There's a lot of cleanup to be done with some of your edits, so please take the time to read through our image policies before adding any more images. Thanks!

Response
Hello! I've read through the image policies twice, once before editing and again once P&P posted the link. I don't understand what the issue is; the images seem to be within the guidelines (copyright or otherwise), I do not split up paragraphs with them and I leave them scaled at the default setting. However if you could clarify the errors I have made, that would be great.
Deleted images
Hi! Some of the images you recently uploaded had to be deleted. Please be sure you are familiar with our image policies before uploading images. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 18:56, December 29, 2014 (UTC)
Video policy
Hi! I've had to make several changes to the page you created at Seasons of War, and it's a good idea for you to take a look at the changes and the policies involved. However, the main thing I want to point out is that, per Tardis:Video policy, we never link to off-site videos. Because only admins can upload videos to the wiki, if you'd like to see a video uploaded to the wiki, you can go to Tardis talk:Video recommendations and follow the directions to recommend a video. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 15:11, February 1, 2015 (UTC)
Linking to Wikipedia
I just fixed a link on The Fractures (comic story), where, looking at this edit, you apparently tried to link to Wikipedia. But I'm afraid that [[wiki:Interstellar|Interstellar]] doesn't yield a link to Wikipedia. It links to http://c2.com/cgi/wiki. The correct code is [[wikipedia:Interstellar (film)|Interstellar]] (note that you also forgot to disambiguate it), which results in Interstellar and links to the right place.

Headings
Please, if you are going to copy/paste across several pages, make sure your edits are compliant with policy. Please read Tardis:Use sentence case and correct your headings accordingly. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 14:31, August 16, 2015 (UTC)
iTunes vs. Digital Releases
Dear Notsimonpegg,
First of all, thank you for adding the streaming information to several of the pages. I left a policy proposal at the The Web of Fear (TV story) talk page. It appears that this policy proposal, if accepted, would affect several of your edits, which is why I bring it to your attention here. The proposal is to make a new subsection for streaming services, separate from iTunes releases. The reasons are explained there. I would be happy to then add the Netflix (US) streaming information.
Until the decision on that policy, as a separate request, I would appreciate it if you could go through your changes and added the mention of iTunes to the old text. Previously, it was clear from the subsection title that these releases are for iTunes. Now that the subsection title is "Digital releases," this information is temporarily lost. I have made such a change to The Web of Fear (TV story), but now realize that this seems as a systemic problem.
Sincerely, Amorkuz ☎ 08:21, August 17, 2015 (UTC)
Genesta

The deluxe edition to The Last Adventure; there's a bunch of photos within that. Notsimonpegg ☎ 18:45, August 28, 2015 (UTC)
I got the Big Finish release date info from Doctor Who Magazine. Is that okay? CybermanFan ☎ 20:16, October 4, 2015 (UTC)CybermanFanCybermanFan ☎ 20:16, October 4, 2015 (UTC)
Well
Well, if you had read the comic story you would know that the illustrations in the story are a way of depicting the events of the story. They're not a side thing while the comic goes on as normal, they represent certain scenes in the comic from Gabby's point of view. It's a stylistic form of illustrating the adventure. You could interpret this as Gabby just drawing random aliens or as those aliens actually being there. So, unless we want to start speculating madly here, it's a Ice Warrior and Quark story.

An Unearthly Child on BBC Store
Are you sure this particular serial is available at BBC Store? I somehow failed to find it at https://store.bbc.com/collections/the-first-doctor-william-hartnell.Amorkuz ☎ 01:00, November 16, 2015 (UTC)
Was under the impression every story was on there. Obviously not. Notsimonpegg ☎ 02:30, November 16, 2015 (UTC)
