Image licence for Doctor Who Figurine Collection ...
Any ideas? as there could be quite a few images maybe a new more specific licence? and under what heading? Magazine or Merchandise The Librarian ☎ 21:55, September 6, 2013 (UTC)
- It's a magazine with figurines. See Doctor Who: Figurine Collection. So half the pictures will be magazine covers, and the other half will be the merchandise included with that issue. --SOTO ☎ 23:31, September 6, 2013 (UTC)
- So can a specific licence be added to both as 'Doctor Who Figurine Collection figure images' and 'Doctor Who Figurine Collection magazine covers' ...please The Librarian ☎ 00:03, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Its just that the merchandising licences are 'Character Options' or 'others' which seems a bit too broad. I would also suggest a 'Dapol' specific licence as well. The Librarian ☎ 08:43, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
Wikipediainfo
Ahh. I think I know what happened. I must have carelessly copied and pasted the description from another eshort writer when writing Richelle Mead's page. I've just cleared up the instances on Scott, Sedgwick and Reeve's pages, one of which I probably used as a "template" (not {{wikipediainfo}}, but the whole description). Normally I'm quite good with this sort of thing. Thanks for pointing out the error, though. -- Tybort (talk page) 01:20, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
Video uploads
Hey, there is a new user who has uploaded literally dozens of videos. I wanted to make sure what to do with them. Do they get deleted since they weren't uploaded by an admin? (I haven't checked them all yet so I don't know if any have spoilers.) Thanks, Shambala108 ☎ 04:12, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
New categories
Hello! Now that we (=you) have solved the Sporting Events, I'd love to create two more new categories, with related doubts:
- Under Category:Law and order, a sub-category named "Penalties" or "Sanctions" or "Execution methods" or whatever, including: vaporisation, embolism, death sentence, steaming, torture, molecular dispersal...
- Under Category:Supposed deities (and maybe Category:Earth myths and legends), the category "Greek gods" or another name, including: Zeus, Poseidon, Kronos... (and possibly, "Egyptian gods", etc...). Here, I am not sure about the in-universe approach.
What do you think about their creation and their possible titles? Thank you, again. --HarveyWallbanger ☎ 16:16, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
Graham Dilley
OK, the Doctor doesn't describe the Ashes in any real way to Peri and Erimem, merely mentioning that Tegan won't be enjoying the match as she's Australian. However, before the story properly begins, there is a (fictional) newspaper article, which contains the following quote:
- "At the close of play on the third day of the third test of the 1981 Ashes series, English cricket was being buried. Already one test down and with the captain sacked, England were following on, still two hundred adrift and one second innings wicket already lost. Journalists were preparing eulogies for the national team.
- By the close of play on the fourth day, the corpse had shown signs taht it wasn't ready to lie down and die just yet. That defiant, belligerent 145 not out by Ian Botham had given England a slender lead. By the end of the fifth day, despite the odds of 500-1 against given by bookmakers less than twenty-four hours previously, the dead body of English cricket had risen from the grave, a Phoenix rising in this Ashes series, and England had won the match in the greatest comeback the sport had ever seen."
This fictional article supposedly comes from the National Clarion, William Jenkins-Wells, cricket reporter.
I've already created an article for William Jenkins-Wells, as he already features in the story.
Hopefully you can get some good stuff out of this. Shambala108 ☎ 21:04, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Actually, that's a good point about the "fictional". For all I know, the authors of Graham Dilley Saves the World, Iain McLaughlin and Claire Bartlett, copied an actual article from an actual newspaper. I don't know enough about cricket or English newspapers to say for sure. What I meant by fictional is that McLaughlin and Bartlett set up their story with a newspaper article about the events that will happen in the story. It's pretty common in Short Trips for authors to create documents, newspaper accounts, book excerpts, etc. to help their stories along.
- I hope that clears things up. Shambala108 ☎ 21:30, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
Episode Template (viewers)
I was thinking that you may want to add the final ratings (views) in the episode template. for example for the episode Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS achieved a final raitng of 6.5 million views. So I was asking if I could put 6.5 million views in the episode template. --User:QuestionRules 19:48, September 8, 2013 (UTC)
