I really encourage you to have a look around the wiki, see the process of how we've named articles, have a look on the talk pages of articles that have conjectural names or ones that you think are mis-named (there may have already been a discussion). Or as I've said above start a topic in the forums, if you think this issue an issue you've found is too wide to be covered on one article page. Thanks, any questions feel free to leave them on my talk page and I'll try to help. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 16:32, January 8, 2012 (UTC) | I really encourage you to have a look around the wiki, see the process of how we've named articles, have a look on the talk pages of articles that have conjectural names or ones that you think are mis-named (there may have already been a discussion).

::*Your name changes on the various Master pages can't be allowed to stand, at the moment, simply because we've got an ongoing discussion about what to do with these articles.

They're named awkwardly, and in a way which basically ignores our standard [[dab|disambiguation policy]]. Exceptions are possible, of course, but the community needs to agree on them. And there's a legitimate open question of whether we should have separate articles ''at all''. Yes, we do encourage our editors to "[[wikipedia:wikipedia:W:BOLD|be bold]]", as the old Wikipedia expression goes, but you shouldn't be ''so'' bold as to trample on community discussions.

Because of your interesting rewrites, '''I very much encourage you to let your views be known at [[forum:The Master - 1 article]].''' | ||
::*Your renaming of The Doctors (The Brain of Morbius) was reverted because you just changed the name and removed the {{tl|rename}} tag. Again, you can't just make changes when there's a discussion ongoing. These top-of-the-page maintenance messages — you know, ones like {{tL|delete}}, {{tl|merge}}, {{tl|rename}} and the like — can't just be removed by non-[[admin]] without discussion. (Since admin have to move discussions to conclusion, they often have to ''act'' on the proposal being made in the tag. But even admin should participate in the discussion, unless the case is fairly non-controversial.) This article's name was far from cut-and-dried, as talk:The Doctors (The Brain of Morbius) is awash with protests about its contents. Generally, if you see a tag at the top of an article that says "talk about it" anywhere in its text, you should first go to the talk page and, well, ''talk about it''. | ::*Your renaming of The Doctors (The Brain of Morbius) was reverted because you just changed the name and removed the {{tl|rename}} tag.
