Hey. You appear to be from the US as you use the american spelling of travelling. As DW is a UK show, we use UK spelling, so traveling is incorrect, hence why it is underlined in red when editing a page. We use travelling, so please don't change it to traveling. Thanks. <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22The%20Thirteenth%20Doctor%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22User%3AThe%20Thirteenth%20Doctor%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BUser%3AThe%20Thirteenth%20Doctor%7CThe%20Thirteenth%20Doctor%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" href="/wiki/User:The_Thirteenth_Doctor" title="User:The Thirteenth Doctor">The Thirteenth Doctor</a> 13:58, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks :)

Lest you think that admin don't notice small edits, let me say thank you for knowing where to put a damned period. :) If only more editors around here could make delightfully useful edits like the one you just made at <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Martin%20Clunes%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Martin%20Clunes%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BMartin%20Clunes%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" href="/wiki/Martin_Clunes" title="Martin Clunes">Martin Clunes</a>. And for the record, I have no idea what The Thirteenth Doctor was on about, above. Whether you put a single or double l on travelling is correct in both strands of English. It's more common to see traveling in Britain and travelling in the US, but both spellings are valid alternatives in both localities, at least according to both the OAD and OED. Computer spellcheckers, of course, aren't smart enough to recognize alternative spellings. So use whichever spelling you want. Just use the same spelling across an entire article. And please keep contributing. Your work is clearly solid. <img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22double-brackets%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%22%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22user%3ACzechOut%5C%2FSig%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%7B%7Buser%3ACzechOut%5C%2FSig%7D%7D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" class="placeholder placeholder-double-brackets" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="double-brackets" /> You're quite welcome, Czechout. I am happy to be able to offer some simple line editing for punctuation, grammar and clarity. I used to do this professionally a couple of decades ago and it is good to be able to do so again in my spare time. I intend to avoid editing for content at least for the time being. There seem to be a plethora of people around here who are happy to dedicate far more time to the pursuit of all things WHO than I. As for the Thirteenth Doctor's issues, I am well acquainted with the trauma of people who are told that their command of their language is not perfect, that there are different ways of doing things than the ones beaten into them and so forth. I also appreciate his desire to maintain consistency of spelling when possible and will try to not change spellings from standard British English when I am aware of the distinction -- although if I find massive spelling errors in an article again, I may change a word or two that is correctly spelled to my more usual correct spelling in the general clean up. I will also tend to be old-fashioned and simple in my sentence construction. Might I suggest that if there is some sort of function that permits it, to run a universal search of "travelling" and "travelled" and change it to be consistent? Bob

Yes, there is such a thing. I've got a bot that can do precisely this sort of "search and replace gig". But I don't intend to use it for this particular word because, as I said, both forms are correct — on both sides of the Atlantic. I tend to use the bot only for editing actual errors or violations of site policy.

Real World template

For some reason the "noinclude" notation on the Real World template isn't working so all the language about "Usage" etc is showing up. As you were the last person to edit it, and your edit removed the opening "noinclude" I reverted your edit to fix the formatting problem. However it appears "noinclude" still isn't working. You no doubt have noticed this by now yourself (unless it fixed itself). In any event, no reflection intended on your edit - it was just an attempt at fixing a format. Please feel free to go back and remove the text you were intending to, assuming the "noinclude" issue works itself out. Cheers. <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%2223skidoo%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22User%3A23skidoo%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BUser%3A23skidoo%7C23skidoo%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" href="/wiki/User:23skidoo" title="User:23skidoo">23skidoo</a> 03:44, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

Well the reason that noinclude failed to function was because you totally blanked the template code from the template page, leaving behind only the usage text. If it hadn't been made by you, I'd call it a direct act of vandalism, because your edit was, in template terms, the same as simply blanking a page. Because it was you, I'm sure it was just a mistake. I'm curious, though —what were you trying to accomplish? You left behind no revision note, so it's difficult to divine what you were doing. Because of the relatively catastrophic and wide-ranging effects your edit had, however, I've locked the page from further editing. If you'd like to have an impact upon editing this page, please let me know what you were trying to do.

In future, please do be mindful that these top-of-page templates are propagated on hundreds — in this case, thousands — of pages. Changes will have a dramatic effect upon the cache, and so should not be undertaken lightly. Certainly, changes should not be made which materially affect the message that is being conveyed on such a widely-used templates. Changes to anything "notincluded" on the template (that is, within <img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22ext%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%3Cnowiki%3E%3Cnoinclude%3E%3C%5C%2Fnowiki%3E%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" class="placeholder placeholder-ext" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="ext" /> statements) won't have such a dramatic effect upon the system, as they only appear on the one page. <img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22double-brackets%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%22%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22user%3ACzechOut%5C%2FSig%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%7B%7Buser%3ACzechOut%5C%2FSig%7D%7D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" class="placeholder placeholder-double-brackets" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="double-brackets" /> <span data-rte-washtml="1" data-rte-style="/* invalid control char */" style="/* invalid control char */" data-rte-attribs=" style=?<img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22double-brackets%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%22%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22User%3ACzechOut%5C%2FTimeFormat%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%7B%7BUser%3ACzechOut%5C%2FTimeFormat%7D%7D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" class="placeholder placeholder-double-brackets" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="double-brackets" />?">22:23:03 Sun 07 Aug 2011

I was trying to add a "real world" tag to the article, and I got caught up in the code by accident. To say I regret the accidental blasting, once I realized what I had done, seemed to me superfluous. It seems I was mistaken.

Hey, I made a little template because I thought about what you said on your profile page. As you point out, you run across sentences which are opaque to you, because you don't have a doctorate in <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Doctor%20Who%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Doctor%20Who%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BDoctor%20Who%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" href="/wiki/Doctor_Who" title="Doctor Who">Doctor Who</a>. It might be useful for you to therefore use <img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22double-brackets%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%22%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22tl%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%7B%7Btl%7Cwhat%3F%7D%7D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" class="placeholder placeholder-double-brackets" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="double-brackets" /> — or, if you want to save a keystroke, <img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22double-brackets%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%22%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22tl%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%7B%7Btl%7Cwhat%7D%7D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" class="placeholder placeholder-double-brackets" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="double-brackets" />. This flags an individual sentence, with a little tag like this one: <img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22double-brackets%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%22%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22what%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%7B%7Bwhat%7D%7D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" class="placeholder placeholder-double-brackets" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="double-brackets" /> It also puts the page automatically into a category so that it can be found easily. Hopefully, you'll find it a useful tool. <img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22double-brackets%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%22%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22user%3ACzechOut%5C%2FSig%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%7B%7Buser%3ACzechOut%5C%2FSig%7D%7D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" class="placeholder placeholder-double-brackets" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="double-brackets" /> <span data-rte-washtml="1" data-rte-style="/* invalid control char */" style="/* invalid control char */" data-rte-attribs=" style=?<img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22double-brackets%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%22%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22User%3ACzechOut%5C%2FTimeFormat%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%7B%7BUser%3ACzechOut%5C%2FTimeFormat%7D%7D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" class="placeholder placeholder-double-brackets" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="double-brackets" />?">22:07:08 Thu 18 Aug 2011 Very kind of you. <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Boblipton%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22User%3ABoblipton%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BUser%3ABoblipton%7CBoblipton%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" href="/wiki/User:Boblipton" title="User:Boblipton">Boblipton</a> 22:09, August 18, 2011 (UTC)<img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22double-brackets%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%221%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Please%20see%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%7B%7BPlease%20see%7CA%20second%20look%20at%20wiki%20achivements%7D%7D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" class="placeholder placeholder-double-brackets" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="double-brackets" /> <img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22double-brackets%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%22%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22user%3ACzechOut%5C%2FSig%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%7B%7Buser%3ACzechOut%5C%2FSig%7D%7D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" class="placeholder placeholder-double-brackets" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="double-brackets" /> <span data-rte-washtml="1" data-rte-style="/* invalid control char */" style="/* invalid control char */" data-rte-attribs=" style=?<img data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22double-brackets%22%2C%22lineStart%22%3A%22%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22User%3ACzechOut%5C%2FTimeFormat%22%2C%22placeholder%22%3A1%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%7B%7BUser%3ACzechOut%5C%2FTimeFormat%7D%7D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" class="placeholder placeholder-double-brackets" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D" type="double-brackets" />?">17:11:27 Mon 22 Aug 2011

Klade

The term "super-evolved" didn't originate with me. It's a direct quote from Lance Parkin's AHistory, and if he's the author who created the Klade, don't you think we should use his description? <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Zerinza%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22User%3AZerinza%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BUser%3AZerinza%7CZerinza%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" href="/wiki/User:Zerinza" title="User:Zerinza">Zerinza</a> 12:55, September 7, 2011 (UTC) I didn't know that. Possibly we should, even though it may be an unnecessary distinction for someone not familiar with that particular work by Parkin. My aim is to be as clear as possible to the reader, not to worship at the self-admitted clay feet of Parkin. We are not limited to the words of the original author, who may take fifty-thousand words to tell a story while we hope to get it down to five hundred. Clarity, accuracy and brevity should be our watchwords, not "Lance Parkins says". How does "super-evolved" differ substantively from "evolved" and is the distinction telling to someone whose knowledge of the Klade limited to this article? <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Boblipton%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22User%3ABoblipton%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BUser%3ABoblipton%7CBoblipton%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" href="/wiki/User:Boblipton" title="User:Boblipton">Boblipton</a> 13:04, September 7, 2011 (UTC) Worship has nothing to do with it, as I'm not a fangirl of Parkin or any of the other Doctor Who authors for that matter. I do believe however he used "super-evolved" to convey the sense of ultimate life forms that exist very near the end of the universe (100,000,000,000,000 A.D., apparently). If so then I believe super- was a very effective prefix, and worth keeping. If the term's bothersome for some reason, then perhaps we could place quotation marks around it? <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Zerinza%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22User%3AZerinza%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BUser%3AZerinza%7CZerinza%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" href="/wiki/User:Zerinza" title="User:Zerinza">Zerinza</a> 13:23, September 7, 2011 (UTC) No, it's not bothersome except for my tendency to chop out words whose utility is not immediately apparent. By all means, restore it, and thanks for discussing the matter. <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Boblipton%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22User%3ABoblipton%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BUser%3ABoblipton%7CBoblipton%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" href="/wiki/User:Boblipton" title="User:Boblipton">Boblipton</a> 13:34, September 7, 2011 (UTC) Come to think of it, as a compromise we could replace "super-evolved descendants" with "humanoid descendants" which not only solves the issue of redundancy but also clarifies what exactly sets the Klade apart from their Dalek ancestors. At present, I don't think there's any mention in the entry of them having a humanoid form, which as you said would make the article of little help to someone who's unfamiliar with the Klade... <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Zerinza%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22User%3AZerinza%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BUser%3AZerinza%7CZerinza%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-5448065994e7a4c2212e02" href="/wiki/User:Zerinza" title="User:Zerinza">Zerinza</a> 13:45, September 7, 2011 (UTC) That's a nice distinction and I don't think of it as a compromise.

Blackthorne and other matters

Perhaps I should have been more specific. I was in fact referring to your removal of the word "installed". Now, you replaced it with the word "put", which simply isn't correct. Jack specifically refers to the action as installation, rather than just chucking it in there.

On an unrelated not, I noticed that you have chosen to delete the contents of your talk page, rather than archive it. Please note that this is a breach of Tardis:Vandalism policy#Your own talk page. Having looked at the page history, I understand you had some technical issues, but if you could reinstate a working version, that would be great.

I certainly have no objection to a working version but have no clear idea of how to go about it. If you would care to do the honors, I have no objection.

As for the one word you objected to, you could have simply edited the piece to the same effect instead of reverting it. I have seem other people change words that I have chosen carefully -- I used the word 'bawdy' in working on River Song's personality section and was surprised to see it changed to 'vivacuous' by someone else. Until I puzzle out why the other person prefers that word, I won't change it bacl. Editing is about getting the details right in the context of the overall work. A reversion is an act of unthinking revulsion. I find its free use here rather puzzling. Boblipton 19:02, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

First up, please reply on my talk page in future. Secondly, go your page history, click on the date of the last working version, click edit, copy and then paste it above the header of my message. Thirdly, reverting an edit is not "unthinking revulsion" by any standard. As my inclusion of a reason clearly proves there was some thought involved in the process. Feel free to edit Blackthorne again if there is a particular issue you feel strongly about.

In a non-serious tone, I would ask you not to called reversion "unthinking revulsion" as, even though its a generalised comment, it could be likened to a personal attack. Again, I haven't taken offence; I'm talking about future instances here. Thanks

Well, I've reinstated the garbage-filled stuff up above -- although why removing it would be construed as vandalism is beyond my understanding.. Enjoy the lists of code. Boblipton 19:35, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

LINKS TO WEDDING OF RIVER SONG

No Worries. If you're interested, links are quite easy to do - just highlight what you want to link and click the "add link" button (It's a really obvious 'Chain' icon on the new editor) . You should be led to a box that automatically checks if a page exists under that name and lets you change the text that is displayed (I'll leave the slightly more complex source mode coding out for the mo). Just make sure it goes to the right page - I had fun earlier fixing several links to the 'Cave of Skulls' which several pages had down as the name for the 'Seventh Transept' in 'WoRS' ; it turns out the 'Cave of Skulls' is actually a cave in 'An Unearthly Child'...or the second episode in that story...I may be an Classic Who fan, but I'm not that old LOL Baziel ^{talk to me} 02:27, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
