User talk:Retsinif

Welcome to the Retsinif

Thanks for your edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!

We only take the best!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki, so let's get them out of the way first.
British English, please
We generally use British English round these parts, so if you're American, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card.
Spoilers aren't cool
We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details.
Other useful stuff
Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:

• the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
• our Manual of Style
• our image use policy
• our user page policy
• a list of people whose job it is to help you

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:

• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial

Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this:

Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask on my talk page. -- CzechOut (Talk) 18:51, 2011 November 13

Pic deletion

Hey, I thought I'd drop by and explain why I have again deleted File:DarkPathKoschei-1-.jpg. On in-universe pages, like The Master, images from covers are the images of last resort. They should only be used when there is no other possible image. This is the Delgado Master, so obviously there are plenty of other images of him around.

Also, the image is far too narrow (it must be at least 250px wide), and the aspect ratio is wrong (it should be at a minimum 4:3, and you've got 1:2.3). In other words, you should try to avoid pictures that are longer than they are wide, unless there are seriously no other options (as with book and magazine covers).

You might find reading T:ICC helpful.

Thanks very much for your edits!

Stop

Please stop altering the timelines on pages without reason. This can be seen a vadnalism and can get you blocked on this wiki. Also, please do not add false and incorrect information either based on guesswork or that is your opinion. Thanks. MM/Want to talk? 18:58, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

Your input is needed!

Allies and Enemies

Hi, just because someone doesn't work against the Doctor doesn't mean they're an ally, and just because they're working in the grand scheme of things against the Doctor doesn't make them an enemy. There needs to be an actual link between the two to make them an enemy or ally. The Senior Guard isn't an enemy of the Doctor, they don't meet, or if it is it's very briefly. The guard's actions are against the Controller, not the Doctor. In the article it states "he informed on the Controller" making him an enemy of the Controller (no don't create a category for that please). Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:25, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Cast lists

See T:CAST before making changes to cast lists. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:38, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Peri

I have removed your image at Peri Brown. Your image is basically not very relevant. The image of Peri tied up can be linked with and episode, but the image of a bad Peri moments before her head is blown off is an iconic image that is not often mixed up with any other. Plus, your image had no copyright info. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 15:35, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

But that is not Peri being killed, that is Kiv being killed, Peri was already dead.Retsinif ^{talk to me} 15:37, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

Well, yes, but we don't really see Peri die, so it dosent make for a good image. Furthermore, File:MindwarpPeri-1-.jpg A) has no copyright template, and B) Is less than 250px, so it will soon be deleted. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 15:43, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

And with Jo, your image looks very poor. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 19:51, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

Stop

Please stop with the story arc categories. Thanks. MM/Want to talk? 18:18, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

But, as of The Wedding of River Song, Doctor Who? must have become a story arc?Retsinif ^{talk to me} 18:20, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

Christmas cheer

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!
