User talk:MrThermomanPreacher

Welcome to the

• MrThermomanPreacher •

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:

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:

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.

Large spacing

Please do not add large amount of spacing in the articles. Thank You. --Bigshowbower 12:50, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Plot on novel pages

Hi, plot does not form a part of the layout of novel artuicles, see Tardis:Format for Novels.

Additionally, please do not copy summaries such as those on the Doctor Who Reference Guide onto this wiki, this is considered plagiarism. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 15:57, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Semi-protect

Adding the semi-protect (as you did when creating the Series 6 page) does nothing. The tag is just for illustration purposes for the articles that have semi-protection added to them (which needs to be done by admins). Thanks. --Tangerineduel 15:32, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Flutterbird

Hey, thanks for starting a new article on flutterbirds. It's great to have obscure info like that. But i notice you've cited a specific issue of DWA for that, which is a little vague. Are you saying it comes from a non-fiction prose article within the magazine, or that it comes from the comic strip? If it's the former, you should cite the article it comes from in a more formal way, like this:

<ref>Author name, if known.  "Article Name".  ''[[DWA Issue 151|''Doctor Who Adventures'' #151]].  Page number.  Date.</ref>

and then at the bottom of the article, add:

==References==
{{reflist}}

If it comes from the comic strip then you should cite it somewhat like you've done, in parentheses following the last word of the point you're trying to make for which the reference is valid: In the case of this short article, you'd keep it just where it currently is, but use this format instead: (COMIC: "Name of story"). Note that this would also apply if the flutterbirds came from a prose fiction story, but I'm not sure if DWAM run those. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 17:57, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

My own Doctor Who Wiki

Hi, since I've been gone for a while, I've come back and made up a thought that I am going to create a Doctor Who Wiki about Series 5 and if you'd like to edit. Or if you don't want to, that's fine. I'll tell you once it's ready! --Trikster87 16:56, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

It's not copyright, it's my own and I'm offering you to come and edit but you don't have to. --Trikster87 17:37, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

Template case

Hi, when creating template make sure everything (aside from names) is lower case. For instance 'Korven Stories' should be 'Korven stories'. I've moved the template to correct this. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 17:32, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

Jixen Page

Don't revert pages unless you have a good reason. The original page was poorly written and didn't follow the manual of style. Specifically:

It didn't use proper citations for episodes.
The episodes use the same prefix, so there's no reason to repeat it in the infobox.
The Life Cycle section is for species which have complex life cycles, like the Wirrn. If it's just a single line about lifespan, add it to the biology section.
Speculation on the Jixen reoccurring isn't needed and saying they're the second "most major" isn't important (especially if the Korven and CCPCs are apparently both "most major").
If there's no external links, don't add an external link section.
The category:species is a vague super-category. If the Jixen fit in a sub-category (which they do), you don't add them to the Races and species category. -<Azes13 14:33, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Oroborus article

Hiya again :) Thanks for starting the Oroborus page — and indeed all your work on pages related to TV. Please remember, however, that, as an in-universe article, Oroborus is bound by the Point of view policy, which principally means that the article should be written in the past tense. I edited this one for you, but if you could remember to write in the past tense, it'd be very helpful. :) CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 15:45, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

The Pandorica Opens

Please stop adding in categories on the pages of those that did not appear. Weevils were seen and pictured on set, but did not appear on screen so are not listed as so. And the Slitheen were mentioned, not raxicorricofallapitorians. Thank-you. The Thirteenth Doctor 21:25, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

Copying events

I've notice that with a few pages, you've just copied and pasted what happened to certain characters from one page to another, such as Churchill and Bracewell's pages. Please don't do this in future as each page should be written individually and not contain the exact same wordings of events. The Thirteenth Doctor 13:14, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Spoilers

Please don't add spoilers to main article pages as you did on the Eleventh Doctor's page. Even adding in the nav-bars for future appearances in SJA is considered spoilers, so please don't do so. Thank-you. The Thirteenth Doctor 12:54, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

References

When you put in a reference can you put it like <ref>web address</ref>. It makes it page look neater and it should be like that as per the Manual of Style. Cheers. Mini-mitch 17:10, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

Change to your user page

I just realized that I changed your user page by mistake. I was trying to categorize some pages that existed only in un-created categories, and your user page, for reasons I'm not quite sure, was in an uncreated cat called Infobox templates. I switched it for a couple that seemed appropriate to what was on the page. If you don't like this change, obviously feel free to revert. I'd revert it myself, but I'm not sure if you were genuinely trying to put your user page into a valid template cat or not. If you were, those two would be appropriate. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 09:11, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Hi again. Yanno, I was actually wrong, above, to have put the page into "real" categories. Turns out it's a violation of tardis:user page policy to put your user page in categories that make it appear as though it's a "real" article. This includes putting your user page into categories for templates. It makes it harder to do maintenance on the template categories if they include pages not in the template namespace. Template categories are only for those pages in the template namespace — e.g. those pages that begin with template:. User pages can only be intentionally categorized in categories that are relative to the user: namespace, such as Category:User en. Sorry for the confusion.

Paradox Lost

Hey, just wanted to tell you why I deleted your work at Paradox Lost. This page has been created and deleted several times now, and it's never improved the quality of its info. The main rule it offends is tardis:spoiler policy, which holds that it's just too soon to put this article up yet. I know there are a lot of story pages here which don't have much more information. The difference here is that there can't be any information yet (because the story is months away from release), whereas other empty pages relate to stories long since published. The former we don't keep; the latter we do. This deletion in no way reflects upon you or your contributions, and is purely administrative. Please don't take it personally.

Avoid over-captialization

Hey, thanks for creating a whole flurry of articles lately. One thing, though. If you're creating an article about an unknown person, please take care to avoid over-capitalization. Take, for example, Delivery Man. "Man" isn't the guy's last name. It should be possible to link directly to the completely uncapitalized, ordinary noun delivery man. We shouldn't be forced to type

[[Delivery Man|delivery man]]

just to be gramatically/stylistically correct. Yes, in cast listings we do want to reflect the typography we see on the screen. So if we see "Delivery Man" in the credits, we'd list in that way in our cast list. But the actual article itself would be "Delivery man". (Technically, too, people with ordinary titles should be "future-proofed" by adding disambig afterwards, like delivery man (Tardisode 7). That way, when another delivery man shows up in the credits of some future episode — and he will — we don't have to go back and unlink this one.)

Again, thanks for continuing to edit here, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Minimum standards for articles about production personnel

Heya :) Thanks for adding in new pages for behind-the-scenes personnel! Coupla points, though. All real world personnel articles must:

start with {{real world}}
contain an external link to their IMDB page (using {{imdb name}}), except for those very few people who don't have an IMDB page
contain {{NameSort}}, so that the page is automatically sorted by surname in categories
have a list of the specific episodes/serials they worked on. While a crew member's series is in transmission, as with Miracle Day, you may say that they "worked on Torchwood: Miracle Day", but you should leave behind {{TV crew stub}} to alert readers that the article is at a very early stage of development.

You may find it easier to use the preloadable formats, rather than building a page from scratch, because the preloadables have the minimum structure already in place.

To retrofit an IMDB listing onto a page without one, just use the {{imdb name}} template.

Thanks again for your efforts, and if you need additional help, please don't hesitate to ask.
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍ 16:04:38 Wed 27 Jul 2011

In your recent round of page creations for Escape to LA, I thank you for using {{real world}} and the especially valuable {{NameSort}}. However, I must again ask you to please take the 30 additional seconds necessary to include a link to the person's IMDb page with {{imdb name}}. Also, if you're going to do no more than give a person's role in TW, please use {{TV cast stub}} or {{TV crew stub}} so that it's clear to other users which cast and crew articles need expansion.

As always, thanks for your continued edits here.

Why create talk pages?

Why are you creating talk pages with nothing on them? --Tangerineduel / talk 13:12, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Because, it implies that because the talk page is active there's a discussion happening. Instead...there's nothing. The fact that a discussion page exists says to anyone looking that there's something that needs to be discussed. And if there is something that needs to be discussed, relating to all those templates the forum would be a better place to start a discussion relating to so many templates. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:21, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

City of the Damned characters

Thanks for adding pages for the City of the Damned characters. Could you do me a favour, though, and please move any which have simple adjectival names to Name (City of the Damned) — and don't leave a redirect behind. They're such ordinary, common words we don't want people accidentally linking to them. Chances are, they'll be linked nowhere but ZEPO and COTD pages. We don't want people getting a valid blue link and/or pulling up a page in a search by entering a common word or phrase. So, please move silly, mournful, humble, nervous, Slightly Angry, Very Angry, Need-to-Know, Will-to-Live and daft. Big Hate can remain un-disambiguated cause that's not really a common phrase.

Timeline pages

Hey, thanks for your work starting new timeline pages. Please remember, though, that a year must actually be mentioned before you can start it. You can't start a year page if you have to qualify the existence of the year by saying "around <year>" or "circa <year>", and leave it at that. We need a specific mention of a year, or a rationale based on solid calculation to start a year page.

For instance, if the story is definitely set in 4050 and a character named Jason Blah tells a tale of something that happened "twenty years ago", we can start an article for 4030 with the language, "According to Jason Blah, 4030 was the year in which <something happened>".

A particular danger with timeline pages is going to some other DW reference site, and using their dating without verifying how they got that year. A good rule of thumb is, if you don't have the book/episode/comic story in front of you, don't create a timeline page. DW timeline pages are notoriously subjective. Everyone wants to create the perfect DW timeline, and they'll do whatever it takes to try to make one with as many entries as possible. Frequently, this means that they've added some level of conjecture. We cannot accept someone else's word on the timeline. You can use one to trigger a bit of research — it's fine if another person's website sends you in the direction of a book — but it cannot be used as a sole sources, as a fan website is not a valid source.

I've deleted a few of your new page creations today. It would be really helpful to me if you could go to any year pages you may have created without reference to the primary source — or any pages that use the language "circa", "about" or "around" — and put the tag {{delete}} on it. Thanks :)

Ahhhhh. Well, then you can't use it as the sole source of an in-universe article, like a year page. Non-narrative sources cannot be the only basis for an in-universe article, per T:CANON. They can be used to supplement things, so you could mention it on, say, Dalek, in the behind-the-scenes section. But you can't include it within the in-universe section of an article, or use it as the basis for an in-universe article.

Decade pages

Please immediately stop creating empty decade pages. It has been a long-held goal of this wiki, with discussions available for your perusal in several threads (typically all containing the keyword "timeline"), to rid the database of precisely these kind of useless pages. You must have either a definite occurrence of a reference to the decade, or something meaningful to say about the decade (backed up, obviously, by narrative citation), for such pages to be created.

Timeline pages absolutely may not consist of simply a list of other dates.

Thanks for your help in trying to create timeline pages, but please remember that the goal is not just to have a page for every year, decade and century in existence. Timeline pages are still part of the normal article space, and the normal guidelines apply to them. Chief amongst the guidelines is that there must be DWU narrative mention or specific real world relevance of all topics on the wiki. If you have any questions about this, please ask them on my talk page.
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍ 18:16: Sat 29 Oct 2011

Nope. The presence of a year is not sufficient cause for the creation of a decade page, nor is the presence of a year sufficient cause for the creation of a century page, and so on. There was a time where that was sporadically done on the wiki, but after a lot of effort, we got rid of those type of pages.

See, we used to have a ton of pages that said nothing. In fact, if we allowed the sort of thing you were trying to do, we'd have 2011 pages starting from the page 0, which would be a disastrous waste of time and effort. Yes, a numbering system obviously implies the existence of the "bits in between", but we need for our pages to actually have meaning. A redlink means that nothing happened in that year — or that we haven't yet discovered if something happened in that year/decade/century. And that's a valuable thing for our readers to see. It's better that they see a gap than that they see a largely "false" blue link.

Finally, {{timeline}} obviates your list of years the decade. Basically you were just creating pages that said the same thing twice. There's never a need to create a list of dates so long as you're using {{timeline}}.

It is completely sufficient for most decades to be represented by category pages, not pages in the main namespace. So, category:2380s is fine and even necessary; 2380s is not, unless there's a positive narrative reference to it.

For these reasons, your decade pages are being deleted by automatic process.

Audio stories

Hi, I was just looking at the layout of Destination: Nerva and back at the history (I know it was back August last year that you created it).

Image links

Hi :) Thanks for trying to create a template which provided a link to an image category. I changed and locked your version, however, so I wanted to tell you why. For reasons of design integrity, we want the links used for character image categories to be the same as the links used on TV story pages. We also want the template to function in a way that's easy to understand. If at all possible it should work on the majority of pages simply by using the template name.

For these reasons, your template {{Imagecat}} has been rather radically altered, and is now at {{ImageLink}}. Please see the documentation there for further information. {{Imagecat}} is being stripped from pages and will likely be deleted by the time you read this.

The thing I can't work out is where you're getting your info. As broadcast, K9 stories barely had any cast information beyond the regular/recurring cast and stunt performers playing the CCPC, and maybe the single most important member of the guest cast. There's nothing like the list you gave at Dream-Eaters in the as-broadcast end credits. So what's your source?
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍  17:30: Sat 08 Jun 2013

I'm looking at the end credits to Dream-Eaters right now and there's only two names in the end credits. I've randomly pulled a few other episodes, looking at copies from both Net10 and Disney XD transmissions, and none of them have anything more than recurring characters, the principle guest star, and the CCCP stunt people. Were you looking at a DVD copy? Oh, and I'm not talking about extras necessarily. I'm talking about people with lines. To give specifics, the only people I can source on Dream Eaters are:

Robert Moloney, Keegan Joyce, Philippa Coulthard, Daniel Webber, John Leeson (titles) and
Robyn Moore and Connor Van Vuuren (credits)

That's it. Seven people. And yet you've got a whopping 36 names on the list. So where'd they come from? Are they DVD credits?

Wow, that's crazy. I'm looking now at the Net10 TX and you're absolutely right. I wonder what kinda legal magic allowed Disney to truncate the cast list like that. Okay, well, thanks for answering. This is gonna change our policies a bit.

Christmas cheer

Happy holidays!

As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.

This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!

We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.

2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!

TDW

It's great that you want to start pages on individual TDW episodes. However, I urge you to stop. We need to think about a format for these pages first before we continue creating them. They should not use the documentary format, because they're not documentaries. A whole new format and infobox news to be created so that the pages can be created quickly and accurate.

Please stop creating these pages. A format will be created in due course. We've done without these pages for five years; a little longer won't kill us.

You are of course welcome to create a sample sandbox page where you work up your idea of how the pages should go. But please don't continue creating pages by forcing a square peg into a round hole.
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍  20:25: Sun 12 Jan 2014

No, they shouldn't be viewed as "like" anything else. A whole new format needs to be developed. They have a rhythm all their own. Indeed, there's a format for series 1 and a format for series 2, really. We need to have sections that correspond to the segments in each series. Once that's resolved, we can then go on to create an infobox that pulls highlights out.

Something you probably don't remember from 2012

Hi, recently I've been adding info from the Survival novelisation and I seem to have run into a slight problem with your edits on Antari Two and Antari Three. You seemed to think that First Frontier (novel) offered a different account on the Master's actions in the Antari system than Survival (novelisation). Survival says that the Master successfully started a war in Antari, while your edits say that First Frontier says that he tried to start a war, but was unsuccessful. The only mention of the Antari System I could find in the novel was on page 189:

"I also needed help leaving Earth, as my TARDIS had remained on Antari Three when I had to leave Antari Two in a hurry while fomenting a war between them."

In Survival the Master tells the Doctor:

"It was a particularly bloody little war I'd arranged in the Antari system. It was entertaining at first but soon degenerated into nothing more refined than pure butchery.I needed a rapid exit; I followed the nearest kitling."

I see no reason why David Mcintee would acknowledge the novelisation, just to contradict it. In fact, I don't see this as a contradiction at all. Is there something I didn't find in First Frontier that says the Master was unsuccessful in starting a war? C o T ☎ 02:13, May 19, 2016 (UTC)

Number categorisation

Hi, I see you are taking an interest in Category:Numbers (which is great because I got distracted whilst filling it). However, I would draw your attention to the way in which members of the category are being categorised since it's quite unique. It's easy for small numbers such as 15 which becomes "N 0015" but larger numbers are sorted additionally by letters; for example, 13000 sorted by "N a13000". Thanks in advance.

On a semi-related note, make sure the new number pages you create stay off Special:Lonelypages, which is why some of my early ones were deleted. Thanks again. --Borisashton ☎ 20:01, April 1, 2019 (UTC)

Cyber-Controllers

Hello! I've noticed that you created Cyber-Controller (Doctor Who and the Tenth Planet) and Cyber-Controller (Flower Power) as distinct both from each other and from Cyber-Controller (The Tomb of the Cybermen). Is there a specific reason for this? Because especially in light of The Powers Behind the Throne emphasising the Cyber-Controller from Tomb and Attack as being the singular, Dalek-Emperor-esque mastermind of the Cyberman race, as opposed to a random individual holder of a widely-shared title inthe Cyber-hierarchy, it seems to me that the three accounts of "the Cyber-Controller as a singular guy who is in charge of all the Cybermen in the world" must clearly be referring to a single individual.

(IMO the fact that the Cyber-Controller in Flower Power looks Mondasian rather than Telosian A] is no reason for having him as separate from the one in Doctor Who and the Tenth Planet, and B] means little when we know for surethe Cyber-Controllers in Tomb and Attack are the same individual, having upgraded his Cyber-suit, showing that he is capable of upgrading himself over time.)

In light of my above points, would you have any lingering objections to a merger proposal? --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 17:56, May 5, 2020 (UTC)

Cyberman drone

My bad, then, but this leaves us once again without a term for the Series 2-style Cybermen. And yet we now have pages for every major Cyberman variant except the one most well-known to the public since 2006, which is awkward. Any suggestions as to what we might title a page for the Cybus-style design?--Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 16:06, September 6, 2020 (UTC)

Good thought — but no, I don't think the Good Man Goes to War Cybers would need their own page. The justification of such a page would be that it would be about the Cyberman design, regardless of what universe it's from. I think the presence or lack of a "C" on the chest is ultimately trivial; note how over on the Skarosian side of things, both Dalek War Machine and Silver Dalek cover several "subvariants" each. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 17:44, September 6, 2020 (UTC)

Queen of the United Kingdom?

Hiya, I hope you're doing okay. I have a question about one of your older page creations if you don't mind, specifically Anne (Queen of Great Britain), because I'm revising many of the monarch pages at the moment. You sourced Pantasmagoria to the statement that Anne was the "first Queen of the United Kingdom of England and Scotland". I certainly remember that her succession after William of Orange was mentioned but I don't recall this fact, which is especially notable if true because Anne was actually the first Queen of Great Britain, not the United Kingdom, which only came into being during the reign of George III. The title given to the article also contradicts the statement so I'm wondering if this was a bit of accidental real world leakage. All the best and thanks in advance, Borisashton ☎ 22:11, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Reality pages clarification

Please stop with your creation of "reality" pages. I know they are in good faith, but — pages such as The Doctor's reality (The Eight Doctors) are not and must not be interpreted as a precedent for the creation of pages construing every alternative account of anything in the DWU as a "reality". Take your Dr. Who's reality (The Klepton Parasites) — as the page itself shows, all the differing accounts about John and Gillian posit them as dreams, or creations of the mainline Doctor, or things in the Land of Fiction. There is not actually any valid account whatsoever that tries to posit that the TV Comics constitute "a distinct reality" in that sense. Nothing justifies this page.

Relatedly, Doctor Who isn't Marvel. Just because time is rewritten, even on a dramatic scale, does not mean that we are dealing with a "new reality" or "new universe", unless the stories use that kind of language themselves. Otherwise it's just… time being rewritten! There's no "Redeemed Kazran Sardick's reality". That's not how A Christmas Carol works. Likewise, even the accounts which present the saving of Gallifrey as an alteration to time do not talk about it in terms of distinct histories, parallel universes, etc. It's just alterations to time. Gallifrey's history (The Day of the Doctor) is fraudulent too.

There are a few in your batch that do deserve to exist — Tomorrow Windows is probably sufficient to justify The Doctor's reality (The Curse of Fatal Death), though I'm not sure about the name. But most of these just come from a very dangerous misunderstanding of why we created pages like Virgin reality. If we don't have in-universe discussion of a given continuity as an in-universe distinct "reality" or "universe" or "world", we should not create pages construing some subgrouping of DWU stories as such.

I realise a lot of work went into these pages, so instead of deleting them outright (which I think would have been unkind to you), I am moving them into your user namespace. But please understand that none of this is to go back into the main namespace, unless you find in-universe accounts treating them as realities. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 18:49, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Copy pasting other user's work

Hi Thermoman, several users have noticed you have a habit of copy and pasting other users' work onto other pages. this is technically allowed, but you need to give proper credit to the original author of the edit you are copying.

UNIT Sourcebook

Hiya, I've seen that you have added information from Defending the Earth: The UNIT Sourcebook, from chapter two; while the information is from a gamebook, a breed of prose that typically is invalid, the chapter the information comes from is entirely narrative and self-contained. UNIT History — as it probably should be called — can easily be valid, especially by the precedent set by valid sources such as CIA File Extracts. Would you mind creating the page? I would, but I've got a lot of other projects on my hands right now.

Re: Daleks

What you're missing is a very key point: Dalek War Machines aren't a Dalek variant/rank. They are a type of Dalek casing. The Dalek isn't the casing; the Dalek is the globby little fellow in the casing.

So as I understood it, "Skaro City Dalek" is our page on the Dalek variant itself, and their casing type is covered at "Dalek War Machine" with a redirect at Mark II Travel Machine, as both names have been used for the casings of "Skaro City Daleks". "Skaro City Dalek" filled the welcome void of us not actually having a proper name for the slatless Daleks and being left to link to the casing page and use somewhat cheaty coinages like "War Machine Daleks", which was a complete mess.

Given that other Daleks than "Skaro City Daleks" have been known to inhabit the Dalek City, I agree it's not the best name, but it's relatively intuitive all the same, and better than nothing.

As for your original intent on what "Skaro City Dalek" was meant to be about — I see what you meant now, but I don't think the name was appropriate. It really sounds more like a variant/rank than a group, and indeed, has much the same ambiguity. At the end of the day I'm not sure it's a page we need — the odd accounts that play with the "Dead Planet is the end of the Dalek timeline and/or a dead-end separate from the spacefaring empire" ideas can be comfortably discussed at Thal-Dalek battle, Dalek City and indeed Dalek itself, without needing to create a separate page for the group as a "faction". Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 18:39, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Think about it like this: a Dalek War Machine contains (the true body of) a Skaro City Dalek. The difference is subtle, but it's the one that exists between "a Brigadier-General" and "a Brigadier-General's uniform". In a subtle but important way, it would make no sense to say that Zeg "is" a Dalek War Machine; Zeg is a squiddy atomic mutant who operates a War Machine. You want to think of "Dalek variants" as ranks or castes normally denoted by a bespoke casing type, rather than synonymous with the casings.

(We've not had cause to create very many pages on casing types as distinct from the Dalek castes who occupy them, because we don't get names for those very often.)

As for the Dalek Earthforce, they're yet another thing, being a specific armed body rather than a variant/rank or a casing type. I suppose it's up for the debate whether the satellite dish makes their casings count as different from old-school War Machines; if we look at it as just an add-on, then the Dalek Earthforce is a group made up of individual Skaro City Daleks operating (modified) Dalek War Machine casings. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 19:19, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

No, no — it's not a faction any more than Black Daleks are a faction. It's a caste within Dalek society — a rank, in essence; a particular era's flavour of Dalek drones. "Skaro City Dalek" is the status, the caste, the "job title", of a Dalek who's been assigned (well, most likely, bred into) a Dalek War Machine casing.

Maybe another comparison that might be helpful is a generic medieval Black Knight. Black Knights are not a faction; they're not even precisely a specific job, or a title in the usual sense of the term. But "Black Knight" and "Black Suit of Armour" are not synonymous terms even if a Black Knight is basically made such by wearing a Black Suit of Armour. You couldn't say "Sir So-and-so was a Black Suit of Armour" in the same way you could say "Sir So-and-so was a Paladin". Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 19:35, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

You've basically got it. Regarding the Black and Red Dalek Leader, I think we can say that their casings "are" Dalek War Machines, just with a different coat of paint; but I agree they are not properly speaking Skaro City Daleks, any more than the Golden Emperor (who doesn't have slats either).

As I have written an opening post for validating "narrative trailers" which also covers commercial stories like Dalek Wars in its scope, do you mind if you want to merge you proposal into mine/@OS25's and pool the votes of support? It'd mean there'd be fourteen in total and likely enough to launch the thread as one of the next.

Dermot and the Doctor

Hi! Hope you are doing well!

So I'm reaching out to you because someone that's been done recently over at T:VS is different users combining their submissions in order to be more efficient.

I currently have a submission that is a "speed round" of random smaller stories that are currently deemed invalid. As you can see at my sandbox OP, I have included a finished argument for validating TV: Dermot and the Doctor, among several similar stories.

My intention is to include ten mini-topics in this post, and so far I have five finished prompts.

Basically, what I am asking is if it would be alright for me to combine your submission topic for Dermot into my submission topic for the Speed Rounds. This would mean that we would have 11 total supporters, meaning the forum would likely cover this topic a lot quicker.

Be sure to get back to me with your thoughts! OS25 🤙☎️ 21:57, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Stories

Contacting you as you’re the most recent editor to have made an edit. An account has messed around the list of Televised stories and placed specials in the wrong series. I can’t undo it as it’s protected. Just thought you should know.81.106.187.1^{talk to me} 14:21, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed your request and took care of it. The edits in question have been reverted. Danniesen ☎ 14:56, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Flash Game OPs

Hey, would you mind if I did the OP about the "alternate reality" online games? (The Last Dalek, K9: Deja Who, Daleks v Cybermen) OS25 🤙☎️ 23:40, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Attack of the Graske

Hey, is it okay if I merge your T:TF submission about Attack of the Grase with the one about general interactive fiction/branching narratives? OS25 🤙☎️ 16:37, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Shoulder ring and Shoulder band

Just covering our bases here so I don't mistakenly merge two pages that were meant to be different: isn't a shoulder ring the same thing as a shoulder band? Does Dalek Survival Guide actually distinguish the two, or is it a case of the same thing being given different names across different sources? OncomingStorm12th ☎ 13:16, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Hahah, I assumed it'd be the case. I honestly had to google it to find the exact name we had it at, though. Anyway, merging them now. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 00:50, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

The Doctor's sonic screwdriver

Hi, Thermon! I see your project of splitting The Doctor's sonic screwdriver and heavily support it. However, I suggest that the sandbox titles like "The First and Second Doctor's sonic screwdriver" get changed to "First and Second Doctor's sonic screwdriver", as we normally do t include the definitive article in cases like these. Additionally, "Replacement on Ha'olam" isn't a suitable name, but at this point I presumed you were just taking the header name from the original article. Perhaps Eighth Doctor's sonic screwdriver (Seeing I could work? I also think dabbing is a better idea here than deciding on "second screwdriver" or whatever, in other cases. If you give me permission, I'm happy to make some movers myself and generally collaborate on this project. Oh, and also, I saw your T:TF proposal for this, and that you haven't written an OP. Are you planning to, or shall I? (Also, love your work on reality pages) Cousin Ettolrahc ☎ 17:31, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

Once I'm through my current irl stuff, I'll try working on that OP and redoing the sonic pages, then. Will take a while, but with most of the content already at The Doctor's sonic screwdriver, it's a doable task and could act as a good first project for me. Anyway, thanks for proposing it on T:TF and creating the pages initially, as you've inspired me . Cousin Ettolrahc ☎ 19:01, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Tie-in websites

Hiya, @MrThermomanPreacher, I want to thank you for the work you have done on Wikifying the user generated material on Doctor Who tie-in websites. It is a real help, as I have been caught up between college work and wikifying The Crash of the Elysium (stage play), which I only started so the tie-in websites for that immersive experience could have context. If you don't mind however, please don't Wikify any of the Who is Doctor Who? webcasts yet as they are connected to alternate reality games and I have yet to work out the full extent of their connections, and I am also working on finding copies of them, as they are currently lost media.

The Enclyclopedia

Hey, uhm, I don’t believe Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia is currently a valid source (as indeed you can tell by the fact that the page hasn’t been given a dab term). As I understand it it cites such things actors in-text, which means it falls outside the ruling. Is that incorrect? In that case the page should be renamed and restructured accordingly. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll need to undo your latest batch of edits… Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 16:59, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Ah, I see! Then yes, that probably counts. At any rate it's fair enough to put the onus on people arguing otherwise. But the page really ought to be reformatted into a more proper source page, including being renamed to a title using the "(reference book)" dab term. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 22:04, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

@MrThermomanPreacher are you planning to do an inclusion debate for The Encyclopedia?

Last Great Time War length

Hello, best wishes to you, I'm not sure if you were aware, but the wiki is having a bit of a problem with how long Last Great Time War is. Given that that page is your baby, I figured that before I did any splitting of pages / creation of subpages from it, I figured I'd approach you to say that a page called Aftermath of the Last Great Time War would probably be a good fit to Origins of the Last Great Time War, if you've the time sometime to do that yourself.

History proof

Thanks for the info from TV: Vincent and the Doctor ^[+]Loading...["Vincent and the Doctor (TV story)"]! I had forgotten that scene so I'm glad you caught it.

Template:BF EDA

I see you reverted my edits on Template:BF EDA. I take it you had an issue with splitting standalone sets into Liv/Helen and Audacity/Charley sections? But in doing this revert, you removed up-to-date info about Echoes and The Stuff of Legend. (I have restored that info.)

My I ask what the issue is with splitting the standalone sets into two sections? In my opinion, it makes the template more logical. LegoK9 ☎ 19:01, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
