The Reign of Terror episode length

Hi! In an edit you made to The Reign of Terror in June, it looks like you accidentally changed the format from "6 25-minute Episodes" to "6x5-minute Episodes". That is an error, correct? Since I haven't seen the story (and I'm relatively new to Doctor Who), I hesitate to change it back to "25-minute" myself without knowing. --Renophaston 19:59, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Adminship

I'll point you to Tardis:Questions and guide to requests for adminship rather than repeat the questions on that page.

But (as I said previously I'm still concerned about your motives), your recent edits continued my concern, and downright puzzled me.

Just looking over some of your recent edits:

• The E-Space Trilogy had some good information about a lot of it, which through your edit removed 2000 + characters. I rolled it back as I couldn't see any reasons (other than thinning down the article, but as it was the only content in said article I couldn't see a reason. Partly because you didn't put anything in the summary field.
• Another recent edit of your was Mistfall, quite well written, except in present rather than past tense.

As I've asked previously I'm still not sure why you want to become an admin (amongst the other questions on the above page). --Tangerineduel 17:22, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Ideas/Stuff to do

If you're looking for stuff to do there's always the Tardis:To Do List (it's been there for a while) it lists all the article maintenance categories. There's also the Tardis:Article To Do List which has a variety of things that need doing that don't fit into the predefined categories or stubs etc. --Tangerineduel 00:59, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Which stuff? You mean my suggestions? Or the stuff that's on my talk page? --Tangerineduel 14:29, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Are you asking me for a defined level of article edits that you have to do in order to become an admin or out of curiosity?

The Tardis:Questions and guide to requests for adminship is what will be looked at and applied to those curious about adminship, the fact that you keep requesting for adminship has made me curious from the start. I seem to recall initially you wanted it to be able to block users and delete articles. Now I'm not really sure your motivations. --Tangerineduel 14:42, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Well adminship doesn't raise give you any higher status than any others. There are plenty of editors/users that are integral and part of this wiki (yourself and quark16 seemed to be part of the wiki). All editors are accepted within the wiki. Being an admin means you need to be mediator, be ready to be disliked for things, and basically clean up a lot of the detritus left behind by various random edits (on top of all the things mentions in the '...requests for adminship' article. --Tangerineduel 14:58, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

As I've frequently said I still have concerns. As I've said previously your body of edits are small edits so it's hard to judge your capabilities. Also your note back to me also didn't fill me with confidence (in that it was missing three apostrophes and a capitalisation on I'm). I'm not critising you (I know it looks like that, sorry). There's nothing wrong with being a user/editor. --Tangerineduel 15:17, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Infoboxes

Please come to the forum thread in which a radical proposal has been made to change infoboxes and give your views. Thanks! CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 17:19, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Featured Article template icon

Hey, I see that you are the original creator of the featured spotlight star. I think what you did was quite good, however I have changed the way it displays on an article, from what it was previously to instead showing up on the right of an articles title, for an example see the Tenth Doctor page. I hope you don't mind this alteration, but because you are the original creator and few others have made changes to that page, I thought it would be courteous to tell you about the changes I have made. -- Imperial Emperor - ^Talk 14:46, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

End of Time quote

If you're talking about who is adding the "Narrator" bit, that's "the Mysterious". If you're talking about the random blank spacing, then that's the new Wikia Rich Text Editor. Which, by the way, is a piece of crap. :( -- sulfur 18:56, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Philip Pullman writing for Series 5?

I note that you added Philip Pullman to the list of confirmed series 5 writers but you didn't provide a source for this confirmation. Is there any chance you could add a source for it, as it's the first time I've heard this.

Phillip Pullman

Um. Where did you get this (false) Pullman rumor from? I'm just curious, for...well, I have reasons. --Golden Monkey 19:44, January 10, 2010 (UTC)

New life to an old suggestion

An old suggestion you made at the forums is being discussed again. Please see Forum:Missing Episodes Indicator. Thanks CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 10:25, March 31, 2010 (UTC)

I know you!

Dude, you were on Primeval Wiki. Also, I have done my own Torchwood Wiki! You can see it here. Trikster87, 18:16, 11th April 2010 (UTC)

Quotes

No, generally we've been going for a more professional look (see Tardis:Manual of Style#Quotations) Thanks. --Tangerineduel 17:21, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

hey Skittles, good job with the monkey island wiki and the Dr Who wiki, i was wondering, do you know about "The matrix" franchise, particularly anything about the Matrix Online by any chance? =) Sclera1 08:47, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

Past tense

I noticed that on the Power pack and Vintaric crystal articles you wrote parts in the present tense. Please remember that all in-universe articles should be in the past tense. Thanks. The Thirteenth Doctor 11:03, August 21, 2010 (UTC)

i hope you weren't scared off by launchballer, i know that despite his good service he could be a little bit rough =) Sclera1 12:35, August 24, 2010 (UTC)
