User talk:BillyWilliam3rd
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:
- the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
- our Manual of Style
- our image use policy
- our user page policy
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 an admin.
Series 5 Titles[[edit source]]
Where did you get the Title. Saviour of Planet Earth??? If you can reference it we will keep it but if not it has been deleted. -- Michael Downey 15:17, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
New Series 5 Titles[[edit source]]
You just added new titles, citing http://drwhospoilers.webs.com/ as your source.
Do you have any reason to believe that this site is reliable, or even notable? It seems like a webs.com site that someone slapped together in 2 minutes earlier today. The only other piece of content is a group of 3 long-public shots from the filming of the first episode, posted as if they were some kind of exciting spoiler.
If you have more information, I'd suggest posting it on the talk page for Series 5.
If not, I'll go undo your changes, unless someone else gets to it first. --Falcotron 01:16, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
No, sorry about that. I just thought that The Pandorica Opens was a name a lot of people were talking about. So I thought it could have been right. ~ BillyWilliam3rd
More stuff[[edit source]]
I notice that you added a page for The Pandorica Opens. Is there a source for this title other than the webs.com site?
You listed "Sontar (rumoured)" as a location. Where's that rumour from?
Where did the picture titled "pandoras-box.jpg" come from?
Is it confirmed somewhere that the two final episodes are only 45 minutes long?
Assuming this is all correct and sourceable, since people are going to challenge all 3 of your new pages, as well as the changes to the series 5 page, and to the template (although it looks like that's someone else), it probably makes sense to put all the source info on the series 5 talk page and point everyone there so people don't start deleting and reverting things before you can add ref tags. --Falcotron 01:27, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
SPOILERS.JPG[[edit source]]
You uploaded and added it to The Big Bang.
You listed the license as "BBC screenshot", but in the description you wrote "(A picture I have found about the finale.)".
Where did you find it? You need to provide the source, and how you know that it's actually a screenshot. --Falcotron 20:27, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
Also, you put the size as "2 x 50px" instead of "250px", which completely destroys the formatting of the page. --Falcotron 20:29, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
Appearances[[edit source]]
Please do not list any character as having appeared in an episode that has not aired yet, such as The Big Bang. Thank-you. The Thirteenth Doctor 13:33, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
Do you mean Blowfish? coz they did. ~ BillyWilliam3rd
- I know they appeared in the Pandorica Opens. I'm talking about listing them as appearing in The Big Bang. The Big Bang hasn't aired yet, and there is a chance they will not appear. It is both speculative to say they will without source, and with source, it makes it a spoiler so shouldn't be on their page. The Thirteenth Doctor 20:11, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Christmas cheer[[edit source]]
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!
