Assistance with a discussion on the forums

Hi, I'd value your input/discussion on this topic in the forums Forum:Italics or Quotation marks?, I'm not comfortable making a ruling solely based on a running conversation between myself and CzechOut and would value other regular editors' points of view on this issue. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 06:39, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Formatting the Doctors

Hey. You were part of the discussion above. I was wondering if you could have a look at the discussion as I have given a new reply including an example page, and maybe we could start discussing it again now that we'll have time before the Christmas special. Thanks. The Thirteenth Doctor 20:53, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Confidential

Hey, thanks for your help with the Confidential pages, but the truth is, I wasn't really ready to launch {{Newpage Con}} just yet. I really hadn't expected anybody to find it yet, much less actually do anything with it. I certainly wasn't expecting someone to come through and create blank pages for everything on the weekend of the DW finale. I was waiting on the conclusion of the Forum:Italics or Quotation marks? discussion, and then I was going to put up the new format for discussion. I wasn't quite sure that whether those subheads were sufficient. I still think there could have been a subhead for "Musical cues in the episode", for example, as some people might want to know what the music was in a particular episode. And discussion might have brought forward other possible subheads. Now an entire range has been launched without any discussion, and that's not really the most desirable way to do things round here. So it's good, in one sense, that you've taken some initiative here. But on the other hand, you've jumped the gun a bit. If you see a newly-created but not-yet-widely-used infobox in future, you might want to just take a moment to ask the creator why they've not gone full-speed ahead on it yet. Remember that templates aren't things where you want to put up {{inuse}}, because {{inuse}} can interfere with the new template you're trying to create. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 18:32, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Protected until broadcast

Hey, just wanted to ask if I can move your template on your user sub-page to a more template-specific name. That way the history of your edits/creation stay in place rather than me copying and pasting and creating a new template. --Tangerineduel 13:04, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

{{conjecture}}

Thanks for the excellent picture suggestion. It's been adopted. That particular shot of the psychic paper was perfect, because it was relatively "tall", and yet its basic dimensions were 200px. This is important on banners where users can enter text, because I can just crop the picture a little wider than 200px, allowing for it to "grow" as people enter their rationales. Very well spotted.  :) If you have any other suggestions for things that don't have pics yet — like {{rename}} — lemme know.

Valeyard

Hey. The lead for The Valeyard page mentions something about him being "the essence of the Doctor's negative emotion". Can you clarify this as I can't remember whether it was said or implied? Thanks----Skittles the hog--Talk 18:19, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Reply

The answer is simply: It must be a screenshot that we used in our infoboxes. We could screen crop the "C" that is on a Cyberman's chest and us that, or just leave it empty. Mini-mitch\talk 19:09, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

That is a difficult question, the only answer I can think of is it was assumed when we had the disccusion in the fourms and screenshots and promtional images. I'm personally just sticking to the MOS, and these image are not promotional but are not screenshots. What would you call them? It would be a good thing to have a discussion about in the fourms: either to change the polciy or to double check the policy. Personally, I see nothing wrong with them, but my instics as an admin tells me to remove it when I see them.

There are a couple more of these images in the Usued Image section of Ood Operations and of the Library. The Library one was removed on the same grounds as I have removed this, and I also removed the Ood Operations one on the same grounds. I say again, it would be a thing that should be raised in the forums if you're still unsure and you think that they should be allowed. Mini-mitch\talk 19:31, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

DWDVD

Hey Rob :) I just wanted to stop by and personally tell you that I've deleted DWDVD. It can be restored in future if the forum discussion definitively rules it appropriate. However, I thought you moved a little fast to creation without giving people time to really think about he proposal. It's not a "no-brainer" decision; there are a lot of moving parts to consider. A lot of these prefixes are added with a simple up/down vote lasting no more than a few days, but this one I really felt like I had to call back to the line. See my rationale at forum:Meanwhile in the TARDIS.

Actor infobox

The "no imdb error" has been corrected.

Oh, and when you get a chance, please come into compliance with tardis:signature policy by adding a link to [[user talk:Rob T Firefly]] in your signature. It makes it easier to talk with you. The link can take pretty much any form you want; some people have a big, honkin' "talk to me", others have no more than a pipe tricked dash — still others have their first name linked to their user page and their surname to their talk page.

(If you already have added such a link by the time you read this message, please disregard.)

Padbury

Wow, no, sorry. My memory doesn't appear to include such things. I noticed you replaced it with a superior image anyway, so it's not really a big issue.--Skittles the hog - talk 16:48, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Firefox watch

Hey :) Skittles told me today that you use Firefox regularly and that you noticed the massive shift that happened today for Firefox users. I was wondering if you could help me out a bit. My workflow is horrible, in that I start doing things on layout and design only to be interrupted by issues of content and policy. So sometimes I kinda forget to check how CSS changes are looking in Firefox, because I don't keep a Mozilla browser open all the time, like I do with Opera and Webkit. So if you start to see things losing their formatting in Firefox, could you drop me a line? I'd really appreciate it.

Destiny of the Doctors

Just wanted to let you know personally that I have locked down Doctor Who: Destiny of the Doctors, as the editing between you and OttselSpy25 was coming close to an edit war. Tardis:Editing policy makes it incumbent on me to try to cool editing conflicts by locking articles for brief periods of time to try to force discussion on the talk page. So that article will be outta reach for about 71 more hours. Who knew that Destiny of the Doctors would ever engender such passionate edting? You should be aware that OS25 may not respond quickly to your messages on that talk page, but he'll be back with us tomorrow.
