User talk:Neosforce657
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.
Sources
Please cite sources when adding material to article pages. As users will often want to check where the information is from. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 16:24, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
It's not lies. The info is from http://www.whoisdoctorwho.co.uk/ which was created by the BBC who create Doctor who thus it is real. Please don't delete it.
- The issue was it wasn't sourced and was inserted into the article somewhat haphazardly. Also there is an issue of verifiability, many of the things on the whoisdoctorwho website are referring to TV stories where we can double check this information with 'what actually happened'. But I'm not so sure about the info you added as it doesn't appear to be referring to TV or prose stories.
- The Ninth Doctor article already has an external link out to the page where this information is cited, which I think presents the information in context better than trying to integrate these second hand accounts into the body of the text. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 16:50, April 16, 2010 (UTC)
True true but these events happened to the ninth doctor during his life. They should be written in both places. In the unrecored adventures part. Stop deleting them please. I'm only trying to make a positive contribution.Also the information on the who is doctor who? website is a kind of back story but loads of short back-stories of people's sightings of the Doctor. It doesn't neccesarily have to refer to a TV episode. Comics don't but that info should be added and the new series adventures some of those are mentioned in the series. But please let me re-add it.
Quotes and MOS
the Manual of Style has changed, which was not made well-known so why you may not know. Quotes are to to fitted into the article, not at the top of it, the quote has to to relative to the article, e.g. descriptive. All Television articles had their quotes removed from the top of the page, and we are currently going through all the monster, aliens, villains, characters etc and removing the quote from them. I would ask you to wait till we finished doing this, before putting qoute into the article, under the headings, and must be relevant. Sorry for the inconvenience, and if your still unsure, please see the MOS or ask an admin. See here for details. Mini-mitch 21:21, April 17, 2010 (UTC)
Images on articles
Hi, we've updated our Manual of Style concerning the use of images on in-universe articles. In short only screenshots should be used on in-universe articles as promotional images or concept art is often staged and not within an in-universe setting. Thanks. Tangerineduel
- Your recent addition to the Tenth Doctor article was rolled back as the image did not conform to our Manual of Style relating to image use. Please do not add images that are contrary to our image use for articles policy. --Tangerineduel 13:52, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
That's a very silly regulation.
- The policy was discussed by the active members of this wiki who are striving to create a unique encyclopaedia made up of the best sources whilst maintaining an in-universe style that is constant across all the articles on this wiki. --Tangerineduel 13:59, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
- Oh no no no right but they still do it on the Star wars wikia and it works for them.I actually think the character main images are better against a plain background.
- You have silly regulations, and this is TARDIS Wikia, not Star Wars Wiki. Here we disaprove of promotional images on articles. The is against our Manual of Style. If you do not understand here are the main two languages in the world apart from English.
Vous avez des règlements stupides, et c'est TARDIS Wikia, pas de Star Wars Wiki. Ici, nous disaprove des images promotionnelles sur les articles. L'l'encontre de notre Manual of Style.
Usted tiene reglamentos tonto, y esto es TARDIS Wikia no, Star Wars Wiki. Aquí disaprove de las imágenes promocionales de artículos. El está en contra de nuestro Manual de Estilo.
