Moved your talk archive[[edit source]]

Hi, I've moved your talk archive so it's a subpage of your talk page. As you had it, it was a sub page of an article called 'Mini-mitch'. --Tangerineduel 13:35, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

powerguy[[edit source]]

our little vandal has moved here now Drwhokid 21:43, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Me and The Thirteenth Doctor have reported him/her to the wiki admin here have they done anything new on SJA Wiki

I just went on the SJA wiki and found a disgusting picture i think that the SJA wiki really needs a working admin Drwhokid 21:53, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

SJA WIki[[edit source]]

I heard you were taking an active role in one of the SJA wikis. If you wan't another set of hands I'd be willing to help. - I. Am. Excalibur-117-(talkcontribs) 23:17, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

User drummer who[[edit source]]

I know, I've been keeping an eye on the situation, the user's been blocked for 2 weeks. It wasn't intentional vandalism (in the vandalism way we often see) and I was hoping that the user could be persuaded to cease their actions and look around and learn from looking at the site. Obviously not, oh well. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:55, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Templates[[edit source]]

The placement of the audio stub template you are currently using disturbs the layout. Until artwork is added the template should be placed at the bottom as can be seen on pages such as The Feast of Axos. Thanks--Skittles the hog 20:31, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

Good point. Looking again the distortion isn’t really that great, the template definitely looks better and more professional under the infobox. Thanks--Skittles the hog 20:40, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

Regenerations[[edit source]]

You need to rewatch the 1996 TVM. The regeneration wasn't caused by the gunshot wounds, but by Dr Grace Holloway making a mistake during the operation to remove the bullets. The Doctor flatlined on the operating table and regenerated in the morgue. The gunshot wounds didn't trigger the regeneration, the subsequent botched operation did. So you shouldn't have reverted my edit. Digifiend 08:48, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism[[edit source]]

How the hell is that vandalism so an episode which is coming out next month so don't think is true the BBC say its called the christmas carol and that katherine jenkins and that micheal fella is in it so why did u say that are you calling what i call editing vandalism so what we hhave to speak posh like one says the doctor says one might fight daleks.

Series 6[[edit source]]

Did you put that stupid box around the series 6 guest cast list? It looks terrible and no TBA cast are shown exept for 1 or 2. I really do not like it. It obscures the whole page. If you did'nt do it please change it or track down who did it. Thanks. Ghastly9090 17:09, November 19, 2010 (UTC)

SJA wiki[[edit source]]

Have you seen the stuff Tangerinduel did for SJA wiki. We owe him a big thank you! There's a link on my talk page. Ghastly9090 17:21, November 22, 2010 (UTC)

I realised why you did this and i agree with you. However Relative Dimensions have been out for some time now so it acceptable for that story to be put on the article now. Revanvolatrelundar 18:04, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

Stolen Planets[[edit source]]

Good morning! If you're going to disagree with and roll back my adding a category tag to one page, you may wish to see which others I've added it to and deal with them as well. I have no objections to your disagreeing with the work I've been doing, especially given your greater experience in these matters, but to only undo it halfway leaves things looking messy. Here's what I've been up to:

The term "stolen planets" has been used here to refer to the planets from The Stolen Earth; it exists as both a page and a category for such. However, it's not really a proper name for them--not in the sense of being a proper noun, anyway--and at least on this wiki they've also been referred to as "lost planets." It seems as though it's also a perfectly valid way of referring to the planets stolen in The Pirate Planet, and I've been modifying the page and category to reflect that. I've also been adding the category tag to the planets in question. As the category was already applied to a page related to The Stolen Earth that was not itself a planet, I also added it to the page for The Pirate Planet.

If you just think that that one decision was wrong, we can leave things there and I'll trust your judgement. If you think that the entire process was wrong, I'll still trust your judgement, but there's more work to be done. (It would probably be best to split things into stolen planets and pirated planets, then.) If you've changed your mind about your reversion after reading this, I'll leave you to undo it.

--67.184.57.10 14:42, January 2, 2011 (UTC) (until such time as my new User:CrazyDreamer login gets fixed, anyway)

Or, of course, Tangerineduel could come along and deal with the whole thing while I'm writing this up anyway. :D --67.184.57.10 14:47, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

TOC[[edit source]]

Heh, everybody's talking to me lately about this TOC thing. I'm totally in the middle of writing it all up for the forum, in which I'll detail all the limitations and strengths of the change so that people can decide whether or not they want to keep it. Expect the forum post to come through sometime today. By way of short answer, though, tags are naturally pushed to the end of the TOC. They could be placed on top of the infobox, though, if you really think they absolutely have to be near the top of the article.

It's the house style of Wookieepedia, incidentally, to place stub tags and the like at the top center of articles, rather than at the bottom of the page or the bottom of infoboxes. It's the house style of Wikipedia to put them at the bottom left. Nothing says they have to be under the infobox, and indeed, they're causing some problems when they're on the same page as a "sectuion cleanup" or "section update" tag.

Voting[[edit source]]

I just wish to apologize for removing your vote. I didn't see that specific version of the page in the RC. Sorry. --Bold Clone 17:14, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Ahem[[edit source]]

Tardis:Manual of Style#Layout guide. Thank you. --Bold Clone 19:54, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

Please read the layout guide. --Bold Clone 20:02, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

Where does the link say that all additional sub headings, expect footnotes and External links should come before Behind the scenes? I can't find anything like that. --Bold Clone 20:16, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

See also[[edit source]]

I've opened a topic on this in the Panopticon. Thanks--Skittles the hog--Talk 20:22, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, but that was really annoying[[edit source]]

I created new heading 'Regeneration' on the TARDIS page and I was editing it and you went and deleted it whilst I was in the middle of editing it. Thanks a bunch, Mini-mitch. 90.215.45.50 18:10, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

There is no heading Sixth version. 90.215.45.50 20:25, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Aha! That makes sense. Thanks anyway, from 90.215.45.50 22:22, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Deletion process[[edit source]]

While I thank you for offering me the opportunity to just remove delete tags, that's not how the process works. Once you propose a deletion, and give a rationale, I can't just remove it. All I can do is make a comment on the talk page and leave it for discussion to continue and be resolved by admin. It's the same reason why I didn't just revert your stuff on Talk:Howling Halls. The discussion is the important thing. Simple reversion of what you do is not only rude, but it prevents you from contributing meaningfully to the wiki. If a record of what you do is left behind, even if what you do is ultimately judged to be a mistake, the community as a whole grows and improves by keeping your actions intact. CzechOut | 19:04, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

All that said, I have instantly reverted a couple of your tags, mainly to do with episode titles in the Hartnell era. All episodes should have a redirect to serials. Even if no one appears to link to them it is still useful to put "The Steel Sky" into the search box so that you can quickly realize, "Oh, that's a part of The Ark." Also, I have found it useful to link to specific episode names when a point only applies to one episode as opposed to the whole serial. CzechOut | 22:39, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Banning[[edit source]]

No, I actually meant that nothing has come to an agreement regarding the banishment policy. --Bold Clone 22:13, January 24, 2011 (UTC)
Wrong. It only says the users risk banning. --Bold Clone 22:21, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Series 6 Page[[edit source]]

It was decided on the talk page that the finale could be a single episode. You have no proof it will be two episodes. Alpha111 20:54, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

You have no proof it's a double episode. Alpha111 21:00, January 25, 2011 (UTC)
It has been the case for previous seasons and should be kept so until it is confirmed otherwise. Revanvolatrelundar 18:54, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
Your evidence is less Revanvolatrelundar the structure has changed so assume nothing. SM is not going to let anyone else write the finale, he's said that this finale will be more intimate and that he will write 6 episodes including ACC. 81.110.190.227 19:11, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
There is more evidence to support there being only one episode in the finale:
  1. SM has said he is writing 6 episodes including ACC
  2. The series structure has changed so relying on previous series is pointless. You delete episode names when you have no proof yet keep two-parts when you have no proof.
  3. SM has said that this finale will be more intimate

So your case doesn't stand up. Alpha111 11:00, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

Your proof doesn't prove anything apart from the fact that nobody know anything about the series finale.81.110.190.227 19:14, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Protection[[edit source]]

Hey, I've move-protected Rassilon's Final Solution (it's still editable) and I've fully protected Howling Halls. I've also added a comment to the Howling Halls page. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:35, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Forum invitation . . .[[edit source]]

Hey, thanks for the invite. I'll pop along there directly. Just wanted to say that I very much appreciate the neutral invitations you've given to both this and the Howling Halls thing. That's good stuff :) You may also find it useful to use {{Please see}} in future, when inviting someone to a forum discussion.

Emilia[[edit source]]

The correct spelling of a name was not speculation. It was an establishment of fact. IF I was to speculate then yes I would probably visit the howling - although the page you directed me to was too wordy, very user unfriendly I felt and, largely unhelpful I thought in explaining its point. Sorry. The Librarian 18:34, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Admin request[[edit source]]

I'm really very sorry with regards to your post on the User rights page. It's not that I ignored it, just one of the things I didn't get to.

Do you still see it as a valid request? --Tangerineduel / talk 13:36, February 2, 2011 (UTC)

I remember reading it back last July and then...I probably got distracted with vandalism or something.
In any case. Admin status granted (I have neither a star nor a mop and bucket (which is Wikipedia' mark of admin) to offer.) Feel free to ask me of any of the other admins any questions. You can also add your user name to Tardis:Administrators to check that your admin status is functioning (the page is admin protected). --Tangerineduel / talk 11:47, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Christmas cheer[[edit source]]

Happy holidays!

As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.

This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!

We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.

2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!
