We are '''not''' [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], nor are we a simple port of Wikipedia's [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who|''Doctor Who'' WikiProject]]. We do take ideas from both Wikipedia and WP:DW, but we stand quite apart. The biggest difference between us and WP:DW is that we write many of our articles from an [[tardis:point of view|in-universe perpective]] — something that would be strictly forbidden at WP:DW. | We are '''not''' [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], nor are we a simple port of Wikipedia's [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who|''Doctor Who'' WikiProject]].

Likewise, we are not here to give you somewhere to host your [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Spam|advertisements]]. Articles considered advertisements include those that are promotions for business, product or articles designed as pieces of public relations to promote an event, individual, company or external blog. Such articles are notable for their sales orientated language, prevalence of external links to a commercial website and are written to promote the product, service or event in favourable manner. '''Such articles will be summmarily deleted.''' | Likewise, we are not here to give you somewhere to host your [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Spam|advertisements]].

There is a mistaken belief that because we're covering ''[[Doctor Who]]'', we are therefore, of necessity, a "safe for work" or "family friendly" site. However, we make no guarantee that the images and articles on this site will be 100% "safe for work". This is because the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]] is not a 100% "safe for work" creation. People have sex in the DWU, which has been filmed somewhat graphically on occasion. People curse in the DWU — especially within the [[Virgin New Adventures]] series. We absolutely will not sweep this under the rug in the name of "family friendliness". | There is a mistaken belief that because we're covering ''[[Doctor Who]]'', we are therefore, of necessity, a "safe for work" or "family friendly" site.
