Wikipedia plots

Please do not copy wikipedia plots, especially without giving credit. And there is no need to add a link to the page on the page, this just makes the link bold and serves no purposes. Thank-you. The Thirteenth Doctor 12:44, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

In defence of Revanvolatrelundar it was an IP editor who added the plot from Wikipedia, not Revanvolatrelundar, Revanvolatrelundar just happened to be the next user to edit the article. --Tangerineduel 12:50, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, my mistake. I just saw that he made a large edit and assumed it was him. You have no idea how much of an ass I feel now. Sorry again. The Thirteenth Doctor 17:15, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Good evening, I recently made an edit to the Personal Attacks article, and you reverted it. However, I find this quite offensive because I have a pretty valid point here and you were reverting it for no obvious reason, racism, homophobia, sexism ect, are not the only kinds of discrimination and another common discrimination is that towards those with physical or mental disabilities, people like that have had to endure stereotypes, remarks and ignorance for many years , even centuries and I find people being ignorant of that to be highly offensive.

Even in my own school discrimination towards those with disabilities was ignored, and until I made a complaint, our school planners did'nt feature anything on disability abuse, which they do now, thanks to me. I suggest that this Wiki recognises other forms of discrimination such as anti-disability, transphobia ect as I find it highly ignorant and offensive, as it implies other forms of discrimination are irrelevant, unrecognised and unimportant. I'm deeply offended.

Thanks

AudioVisuals

The AV stories aren't canon, they're fan audios. There was a discussion relating to this on the Talk:The Doctor (Party Animals) page.

The BBV stories were made by a production company (you can't really call it "fan made" using the definition it was made by fans of the programme, if you used that definition then the BBC Wales series is fan made because likely more than half the production team are fans). --Tangerineduel / talk 13:13, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

Delete template

Hey, Revan :) Thanks for being vigilant on articles that need to be deleted.  :) One thing, though. I notice you've, on more than one occasion, tried to put the delete template within a category, doing something like this:

[[category:{{delete|reason}}]]

This is undesirable for at least two reasons. First, it buries the delete tag at the end of the article, when it should be the thing at the very top of the article. Second, it "breaks" the category code, leaving messy stray characters at the bottom of the article. In future, all you need do is put

{{delete|reason}}

at the very top of the article — before anything else on the page. The code in the template will take care of the rest, including putting the page in the proposed deletions category.

Thanks :)

Admin request

Hey, here's Tardis:Questions and guide to requests for adminship to have a look through. The questions I'm most interested in from you is what which articles showcase your creative skills and which article/s are you most proud of?

The other questions on the page you can consider, but don't necessarily need to address specifically. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:26, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Just a few notes and questions.

When replying to talk or forum comments remember to indent using the colon ":", I noticed in the recent Speculation topic and replying on my talk page just added straight below, it makes following discussions somewhat difficult.

I can't find any issues with your recent edits, so, I just wanted to ask, is the misuse of apostrophes and spelling in some talk replies down to the quick responses that have been typed out quickly…?

It's not a large issue, as I said your recent edits all appear good, it's just, when replying to users and interacting on the forums, especially (in an admin role) if you'd ever need to address user's use of grammar and spelling. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:03, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

I understand that with regards to article pages article conflicts happen and some reworking is necessary. But on talk pages or forum pages there shouldn't be a rush. This is my only concern when when typing out responses quickly or otherwise and being able to identify issues with pages easily. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:41, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

It's just...it's the small things you sometimes need to notice.

I may be noticing the little things, but it is sometimes the little things that are noticeable as an admin.

I'd just like to highlight where the issues are because I think your active wiki contributions are good, but it's your talk contributions that sway me slightly away from making you an admin right at this moment. I'm not criticising for criticism's sake I just need to be sure.

Your recent reply to me didn't quite assure me; "It certainly wasn't my intention to use bad spelling on talk pages and all i can do is assure you that it wont happen again." Lower case I and no apostrophe on "won't". As I said it may seem like I'm nitpicking, but it is the little things that make being an admin an admin. In your original message there's a few misused apostrophes. I know it doesn't seem like much, but as I recently went through the years articles removing the apostrophe from 1960s it, and it does pay to recognise the usage differences.

If you could, could you give me links to a few more pages that you've created from near scratch preferably with large chunks of text so that I can assess your writing style further, thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:19, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Headings

Yep, it's a snap to manipulate headings. Thing is, though, it's a part of the overall style that I'm trying to achieve. And I'd kinda like to get general approval and implement an overall page design at once, rather than asking opinions from the community on every single bit. You can head over to w:c:tardistest:Headline Test or w:c:tardistest:Peter and tell me what you think of the headlines over there, though. Since your eye is particularly drawn to headlines, your opinion could really help a lot.

czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍ 

Hmmm, I think you're misunderstanding the use of the template. It should be at the very top of the article. It changes the page title (in code terms, <h1>, or WikiaPageHeader). It's nothing to do with the highlighted title at the start of the article. Hence:

{{title|''Book of Whatever''}}
{{infobox infoboxname
}}The '''''Book of Whatever''''' was . . .

IPs and blocking

When presented with the block page (you can take a look by selecting anyone to block, nothing happens until you hit the "block this user" button on the page) one of the check boxes which is already ticked states "Automatically block the last IP address used by this user, and any subsequent IP addresses they try to edit from".

So in the situation present the user would need to be on a different IP from which they haven't logged in from on that blocked user name (I think). Hope this explains somewhat. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:53, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

Real world

Check out any TV story. They are all real world. Also, story pages are written from a real world perspective so that tag stays. :)--Skittles the hog--Talk 14:10, February 13, 2011 (UTC)

I saw your discussion on Skittles' page about this and thought I'd jump in, since I was the one putting them on story pages through the bot. You said there you only found them on CC pages, but I'm guessing you just noticed it at a time when the bot hadn't made further progress. They should be on just about every story page by now. It's been long established that story pages are written from the real world perspective. This was, for example, the main argument behind moving discontinuity sections to the Howling. They haven't traditionally had real world tags because it was assumed the real world tag couldn't be placed atop the infobox. That coding limitation has now been overcome, so the tag is now going on everything that's got a RW perspective.

Finisterman

I did notice when the similar user name turned up, but was kinda hoping the user had returned to add useful edits to the wiki. I've had a look through their contributions and have blocked it looks to be the same person them for 6 months (Finister2 was blocked for 3 months). As for IP addresses when you block you get this check option: "Automatically block the last IP address used by this user, and any subsequent IP addresses they try to edit from".

Curse of Fatal Death

Please point me to this "community decision" that makes Curse of Fatal Death — probably the very definition of non-canonical — suddenly canonical.
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍  <span style="">16:54:26 Fri 11 Mar 2011 

I'm really curious how the community could have been convinced to turn one fragment of a sentence — "a listless-looking man sat on a sofa beside a girl in a red dress in an unconvincing medieval dungeon" — into an avenue by which Curse is at all canonical. That's pretty damned vague to me, especially since the text (on page 18) never makes clear that any of those people described are the Doctor. And because at least one of the men described seems an awful lot like the First Doctor — "a kindly-faced old gentleman in an astrakhan hat pottered in a junkyard, chuckling. Far as I'm concerned, the inclusion of this stronger reference to what appears to be he Hartnell Doctor throws the paragraph open to broader interpretation. This could be a list of past or future Doctors, and the "girl in a red dress in an unconvincing medieval dungeon" could just as easily be Jo in The Curse of Peladon.

Another problem in believing that this is a reference to Curse is that none of the people in the paragraph are defined as being the Doctor. They could just be people in the Doctor's future. That helps explain how the First Doctor might be in this description. The window is saying that the Eighth Doctor will again see his first self back in a junkyard — not that his future is to again be the First Doctor.

In fact, the only one of the people described who are definitively suggested to be the future Doctor is the last one:

Then it solidified into one, final figure. A wiry man with a gaunt, hawklike face, piercing, page grey-blue eyes and a thin, prominent nose. His lips were set into an almost cruel, almost arrogant smile. He had an air of determination, as though withholding a righteous fury. As though facing down the most terrible monsters.

Then he turned to the Doctor and his expression softened into a broad, welcoming grin, as if to say, "This is what you've got to look forward to."

Even that, though, doesn't definitively say this "wiry man" is the Doctor. Merely that he's in the Doctor's future. Nor does it necessarily describe the Eccleston Doctor. That description could just as easily describe Matt Smith in a moment of fury, I think.

In other words, one possible interpretation of The Tomorrow Windows does not make The Curse of Fatal Death canonical. The best you can do with this information is to note it on The Tomorrow Windows page as something that some fans (such as those at the Discontinuity Guide) have noted as indicating Curse. But Windows contains no positive, unambiguous reference to, for example, Joanna Lumley, Hugh Grant, Jonathan Pryce, Jim Broadbnt or really any of the major elements of Curse.
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍  <span style="">17:29:21 Fri 11 Mar 2011 

Well, to respond directly to your latest post, obviously The Tomorrow Windows does not "directly refer" to The Curse of Fatal Death. And TD made a point-by-point response to my write-up of the canon policy and never mentioned this conversation you're alleging he agreed to. COFD's canonical status is entirely unaffected by one sentence fragment in The Tomorrow Windows.
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍  <span style="">17:51:36 Fri 11 Mar 2011 

Sorry, I only just now saw that you added more to User talk:CzechOut#Forum Page, because when I actually went to my user page around the time you posted your additions, my eye was drawn to the next topic that was added by Skittles. I think what happened is that, when I read Skittles' comment, I saw above it that you had found the discussion, but since I had found it too, I didn't somehow see that you had added three more paragraphs above it. In other words, because I was looking at my message page after four new messages had been attached to it, I only really registered the last two messages.

But I don't want to leave your points unanswered, so, better late than never, here's my response to what you left after 17:19 11 March:

I wasn't suggesting at all that you were making things up. I had flatly (and, I had hoped, politely) asked for you to point me in the direction of the discussion you were talking about. I was indeed quite grateful that you had brought up a policy discussion of which I was unaware. I thought it was important to see the discussion, not because I was suggesting it didn't happen, but because I couldn't imagine by what leap of logic the community could have possibly been swayed to think COFD canonical.

Decalog 5

Hey, I see that you're the one who added all the blank pages for the Decalog 5: Wonders short stories late last year. I think maybe you've misunderstood what that volume is. Judging from the fact that you put Benny down as a character in every story, I'm thinking that you've slightly misunderstood what that collection is about. There's only one Benny story in the entire collection, so that's the only story that I've allowed to survive here. The volume otherwise doesn't have anything to do with the DWU, and therefore shouldn't be covered here (or really at any of our sister wikis).

Wikia time

In order to diagnose your problem definitively, I'd have to know what time zone you're in. My suspicion, however, is that nothing can be done about things unless you're in the time zone of the Wikia server, or a time zone in North/South America that is a number of precise hours off of the Wikia servers' time, and that obeys DST. Around the time time of the time zone changeover on the mainland of North America, European times tend to be "off". That said, we're already thorough the time change in the UK, I think, so you should theoretically be in alignment again, provided you live in the UK. If you live in a place where there is no DST at all you will be "off" Wikia time, and there's not much that can be done about it, as far as I know. Since I live in such a locality, I'm sort of used to being "off" wikia time, TV network time, everyone's time, for half the year. If you've recently moved to a non-DST area, you may not yet be used to this "wrinkle" of geography. Give me your time zone, though, and I'll be able to nail the problem down more definitively.

Bruce Master

Gotta disagree with you on The Eight Doctors. I didn't see anything that distinctly identified this as the Bruce Master. Can you point me to a specific page/quote? I'll grant you that it's maybe the morphant, but that's not the Bruce Master. The morphant is, according to this very story, the essence of the Master, not specifically the Bruce Master. As far as I can tell, nothing that looked like Eric Roberts appeared in The Eight Doctors. It's highly misleading, I think, to suggest in the navigation box that the Eric Roberts Master is in this book. But, again, maybe you have a snippet from the book to hand that I've skipped over?
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍  <span style="">20:45:27 Sun 10 Apr 2011 

Exactly. Where in that quote is there any description of the Bruce Master?
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍  <span style="">21:22:25 Sun 10 Apr 2011 

I don't see your logic there. The "Bruce Master" is specifically that Master which was created by the morphant taking over the body of Bruce. The book gives no indication that this body survived being dumped into the Eye of Harmony.

And really, seriously, forget the book. There's a, y'know Bruce-shaped explosion that happens when he's consumed by the Eye in the movie, roughly at the 1h17m mark. I don't think there is a way in the world that a person can watch the TVM and reasonably assert that Bruce's body survives.

To my eye, what survives is the snake, the morphant. It's already survived disintegration by the Daleks. We can therefore believe that it survives the Eye. (Indeed, we must believe it survived the Eye, because of DWM: The Fallen.) But, again, what has not survived is the combination of the morphant + Bruce. That's why I put the book in the "uncertain" category. If the book gave a physical description that matched that of Eric Roberts, I'd say, "Sure, that's Bruce.". But it doesn't. Hence we cannot say with certainty that it's the Bruce Master, only that the story happens after the TVM.

DWU/OOU stub demarcation

Yeah, I'd already thought of using the Seal of Rassilon. Problem is that at very small widths, like the 25px I need for the stub templates, it's simply a black blob. Might be able to do some of the Peter McInistry "Time Lord writing" though, as that uses thin-lines. Problem is there trying to find a clean transparent image to work with. Which I've never found. I've never even found it on a white background, or a fully single-color background that I could easily strip away. But who knows, maybe a renewed look might turn something up. Wookieepedia is definitely lucky in this regard. Their image for real world is just a graphic of Earth. Oh, if only 90% of Doctor Who didn't happen on the Earth . . .

Wildthyme charity stories canonical?

No. Clearly not. The Doctor appears in at least one. Susan in another. Obviously, Obverse don't have the right to publish these characters. That's why they're still listed as "charity stories" on the website. That gives them a kind of "legal shield". But for our purposes, they can't be considered as something we cover. We need to be on guard against the Obverse website generally, as they publish fan works. Safer just to ignore the site altogether, and stick only to the material they're selling.
