Images[[edit source]]
Please don't just delete an image because the page doesn't have a licence. You should ask the user who uploaded it where they got it and if an appropriate licence template can be assigned, then assign it. If the file breaks the rules of copyright, then delete it. I have re-uploaded my image with what I think is the appropriate copyright license, if you do not agree, I got the image from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Butterworth.
I would like to point out that if any of the information that have told you is inaccurate, like if you cannot add a license, then ask the user to reupload it with the correct license. Rufus 00:44, August 10, 2014 (UTC) User:120d
Re:Summing Up[[edit source]]
1. A title name is not a spoiler. It is as much a spoiler as saying the Doctor will be in Series 8.
1a. You have broken the rules, not of this wiki, but of writing etiquette. You DO NOT edit a person message that is not your own. You wouldn't change the words in a book, so you shouldn't do it here.
1b. You are taking these rules way to far. I am glad that you have not blocked me, but there is no reason to remove someone else's words because they break the rules.
2. Wow, just wow. That is completely unfair and unreasonable. You cannot say "We won't allow your image because it is not in the form we want it." that is just not okay.
4 and 5. I am realizing as I type this that all of these things are related. When did you become the ruler of this wiki and the one who can just tell people what to do? You may have more abilities than me, but it doesn't mean you have more power. I have noticed that you are being mean in a somewhat polite way, but it is still being mean.
6. I always liked message walls better. They are so much easier than talk pages.

Jenny Edit[[edit source]]
Concerning the Jenny edit, the text I used is called "free-floating sub-division." The problem is that the TOC (which is right-aligned) ends up pushing the image down to a lower section rather than appearing under the Messaline sub-heading. This would not be a universal appearance as wikis using floating text, so that the end appearance is going to differ depending on monitor resolution. So I'm guessing on some resolutions the image isn't stacked (as more lines of text end up appearing on lower resolutions, thus there's less chance of images stacking up as more text goes downwards, and as such, images have less chance of "stacking"), but on higher ones, it is. The code allows the image to come up against the TOC rather than being pushed down by it, but still appear as normal on other settings. I'm guessing that by the revert comments there was no visual difference, whereas on higher resolutions, the image is no longer appearing below the "After Messaline" section.
If it sounds complicated...yeah, it is, and it gave me a headache for wiki editing until I found the code to keep images in place rather than being pushed down by templates. I've reverted the edit and if the page visually appears the same, it means the code's done its job. If it's reverted again, I won't turn it into an edit war. But basically this is a heads up for the issue. I've had to apply the code elsewhere where it's an issue so that wiki appearances are as uniform as possible regardless of the type of monitor they're viewed on.
Hope that helps. :)--Hawki ☎ 01:30, August 16, 2014 (UTC)

Categories[[edit source]]
The reason Jane Slavin and Lizzie Hopley are in the DW voice actors category in addition to the BFDW voice actors category is because they've voiced characters in productions that were NOT made by Big Finish. The same is true for Tom Baker, Elisabeth Sladen, Nicholas Courtney, Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant, David Tennant and Nicholas Briggs amongst others. So by your logic, we'd have to remove them from the DW voice actors category as well simply because they're also in the BFDW voice actors category. I frankly don't see what bot tasks have to do with it. Slughorn42 ☎ 14:29, August 17, 2014 (UTC)

Archiving[[edit source]]
Just archived my own talk page without issue, but I don't doubt you had problems. The tool has always been slightly finicky. The solution is pretty simple. If the archive "misfires", simply undo the edit to the talk page and try again. Almost always solves the problem.

Image deletion/licensing[[edit source]]
I'd like to second what User:120d said earlier about deleting images for lack of a license. It'd be much more helpful to assume positive intent by the uploader, that it was a simple oversight, and ask the user to add a license rather than force them to re-upload the image.
If you feel that any image without a license truly must be deleted immediately, rather than updated as soon as possible, then some coding needs to be changed so that uploading can't proceed without a license.
Having policies is one thing, but enforcing policy over encouraging a spirit of cooperation is making this wiki unpleasant to contribute to. Monkey with a Gun ☎ 04:46, August 28, 2014 (UTC)
I was unaware that the deletion was automatic. I apologize. However, I would note that on the image upload pop-up, the license selection dropdown is hidden by default, and requires that the use click on "More options" to add it. Even if preventing upload without a license isn't possible, making the license dropdown not hidden would be helpful for the more absentminded among us.

Stop bullying people[[edit source]]
Hi! Please stop comparing/contrasting Missy to Clara's mother. It's not relevant at this point, and is either speculation, which is not allowed on the wiki, or a spoiler, which is expressly forbidden by Tardis:Spoiler policy. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 17:53, August 29, 2014 (UTC)
I never compared the person to Clara's mother. In the episode, it kept referring to Clara as The Doctor's boyfriend. At the end Missy said she was The Doctor's boyfriend. It is important to note that Clara has brown eyes and Missy has blue. It's an important clarification. The first time you removed it saying "speculation" and so I had to remove why it was relevant and now you just remove it for "irrelevant". You just like destroying people's hard work on wikis--wikis are full of trolls like you who sit around doing nothing but harassing innocent people. You never do anything to help, you just hurt innocent people! Why don't you stop bullying people? OrmiaOchracea ☎ 19:39, August 29, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry about that I haven't been on this Wiki for a few years so I'm not used to who the admins are or the New polices. But I did think you were a vandal user so I was just saying to the user to report the "bullying" to an admin that's why I left the comment on the missy talk page. I wasn't trying to attack anyone. Many Thanks. Lewody1 ☎ 22:47, August 29, 2014 (UTC) :)

Hello. I'm sorry for my recent mistakes in editing categories. I'm new to this wiki (although I've contributed a bit to others) and I was unfamiliar with the details system. I had expected to make some mistakes in my edits, but also expected to receive notifications for any activity on my talk page, which is why I seem to have missed other users notifying me of my errors. One or two of my mistakes were a result of copying seemingly incorrect edits from other users (see Graxnix and the use of the 'combatants in the Time War' category). Anyway, I'll revise my use of the category system and hold back on any similar edits until I'm more used to it. I'll also post apologies for my buffoonery on the talk pages of the other users whose notifications I managed to miss. In the meantime, I'd really appreciate a lift of the ban on the proviso that I refrain from any more mistaken edits of the categories. Thanks very much, and sorry for the trouble. User:TheAnonJade
I've read through the page. That clears it up and I'll definitely do my best to tread more carefully in the future (as well as regularly checking my talk page in case I mess up again). Thanks very much for understanding and for replying so quickly; I appreciate it. I'll keep doing my best to contribute and I hope I don't tread on too many toes. User:TheAnonJade
Suitors, Inc.[[edit source]]
As I recall the whole T:ROMANA cleanup effort, I chose to use the Doctor Who Reference Guide to "break ties" as it were. The "tie" in this case came down to a few factors:
- I hadn't read the story, nor had I the foreseeable opportunity to read it. This necessarily meant I was reliant on other sources, which is not a place I generally like to be in, when it comes to writing articles here. But I found no source which firmly declared a Romana, at the time. Wikipedia's article on the anthology have since firmly declared Romana II, but without giving rationale for it. Obviously, if you have the story and can find something in it that firmly gives you R2, that trumps everything.
- Around the time of my edit, the page had borne a timeline section, which had pegged this as being after Victims and before The Lying Old Witch in the Wardrobe. Obviously, that's a nonsense placement. Since Witch is Romana's regeneration story, anything before Witch is R1, while anything after Victims must be R2. With that information on the page obviously wrong, it seemed to me that we didn't have a good read on the story.
So I was left with DWRG's assessment, and they place it after The Armageddon Factor, but before another post-Key to Time Short Trips story, Life from Lifelessness. That later short story definitely does have R1.
As is typical for them, DWRG's placement is marked as "arbitrary", and that's precisely why we tend not to use them. However, DWRG had to know that it wasn't completely arbitrary in this case, as they were flipping a coin between two incarnations of a character. So they must have based it on something. My guess is that the DWRG's choice is based upon the attitude Romana displays in the story, which is apparently more eye-rolling-at-the-Doctor's-stupidity (like Mary Tamm) than the rather more follow-Tom's-lead version of Romana that Lalla Ward served up in her first several adventures.
I can say for certain, however, that I'm not comfortable with making a decision about Suitors based upon Verdigris, unless we can find a statement by Paul Magrs that actually ties the two together. I would much rather go on the characterisation of Romana as given in Suitors — or any other tidbits in the story — than to try to infer something from a throwaway line in Verdigris.
See, even though both Verdigris and Suitors, Inc. were written by Paul Magrs, it does seem to give the author a tremendous amount of credit to have planted a tiny, throwaway line in a 2000 novel for one publisher that paid off only in a 2005 short story for another. Indeed, I think that bit in the continuity section of Suitors, Inc. needs a strong qualification. It needs to be made very clear in our article that, while the line is an interesting coincidence, Verdigris very much predates Suitors. Influence flowing in that direction, though possible, is unlikely enough that it would require a statement by the author for us to advance as true.
But again, the key thing is to just read the story, so you're likely to be the one to make the final determination on this.
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍ 14:05: Tue 02 Sep 2014
- If it helps, there's definitely a post-Key period for R1. The Stealers from Saiph, for instance, is definitely set between Armageddon and Destiny. And there's zero indication at the top of Destiny that they've just finished the KTT thing. Indeed, the Doctor has had time to completely tear apart K9's guts, and Romana is regenerating for some unknown reason. When we last left them in Armageddon, both his companions were in fine health. Also, Armageddon ends with the Doctor explaining that he's fit the TARDIS with a randomiser, and then putting the craft in flight. In Destiny, Romana asks where they're going and he has to explain again about the randomiser. Now, obviously, this is for the benefit of the audience, who've had the summer break between the two stories. But it also seems a silly thing for her to ask if Armageddon immediately precedes Destiny. So clearly something happened in the interim, which is why BF could positively assert Saiph as an intervening R1 story, and why ST were able to go with Life from Lifelessness as an R1 post-Key story.

Re: Image on Spaceship (Robot of Sherwood)[[edit source]]
Hey, thanks for the comment! I didn't realise it had to be a .jpg file but now I know for future reference.

So as long as I turn it into a .jpg and reupload, everything should be fine? :) TheFartyDoctor Talk 14:39, September 11, 2014 (UTC)

The green-ness of the coat[[edit source]]
Some time ago, we were investigating whether it was enough of an indication of the presence of the Eighth Doctor in a short story if he were described as having a "green frock coat". I think some other users said this was in no way indicative of Eight because he wasn't wearing green in the TVM, or words to that effect.
Turns out that it's explicitly how he's described in The Elixir of Doom, at around 14:10 in part 1:
- IRIS WILDTHYME: It was someone Jo shouldn't really see. I'd get the blame for it all if Jo encountered him out of sync, as it were. They'd always blame me, of course. There he was, quite dapper in his green frock coat and his dark, flowing locks: Number Eight, as I live and breathe ... he'd recognise me straight away from our adventures with Sam on the desert planet of Hyspero ... "
So that's pretty much a lock. Green frock coat and brown flowing locks = Eighth Doctor. (And, incidentally, one of the few times Big Finish explicitly reference the EDAs.)

Thanks for pointing out the mistake[[edit source]]
Hello, Shambala. Thank you for kindly pointing out the mistake I made with the signature. You see, I'm not exactly a beginner when it comes to wikias—I've been editing on Wookieepedia since 2006—but I'm still struggling not to mix up the policies I'm used to and the ones implemented here.

Roger that[[edit source]]
Well, by definition, any edit which does not add or remove any text is, in fact, not an edit at all, as no change has taken place, but aside from that, I'll try and keep your points in mind. ;-)
The 'criticized' correction was force of habit, I'm a writer and I tend to fix what I see as spelling errors without even thinking about it, my apologies for using the Canadian English spelling instead. As for the "speculation", it's actually a fairly interesting point for the episode in question that the 12th Doctor's claim of speaking a ridiculous language is not played for laughs, as the 11th Doctor's similar claims were, and which have been noted for quite some time on the language page for "Baby", among others. Would it help if I added a "Behind the Scenes" section to comment on that? Captain J ☎ 01:16, September 18, 2014 (UTC)
TARDIS Type 40 Plaque[[edit source]]
Hello, Shambala. I wanted to know your opinion about something I just discovered—and I hope you'll forgive me if that particular matter has already been discussed and solved by the community. I saw the BBC sold TARDIS type 40 plaques on its website, saying they are exact replicas of the one that was found on the interior of the Series 5- 7 TARDIS. At the beginning, I was skeptical about this, but I ended up discovering that plaque could indeed be seen in Amy's Choice. (It's a blink-and-you-miss-it appearance, and you really have to pause the episode at the right frame to see it, but it's there.) Now, I'm not sure this can be considered canonical, because it may be an Easter egg. That's why I didn't go ahead and didn't create an article on the Gallifrey Blackhole Shipyards. In fact, I'm doubting of the plaque's canonicity because it says the Doctor's TARDIS was built in 1963. Somehow, I don't think it sounds right, but I may be mistaken. What do you think? Cheers. --Lelal Mekha (Parlour) 18:27, September 21, 2014 (UTC)
No Personal Attacks[[edit source]]
Recently you blocked a user on the Rose vs. Clara board in the Celestial Toyroom for a personal attack. Although I understand the block, it technically does not follow policy. According to T:NPA, an attacked user should "ask the attacker to stop and note this policy." I don't see any of that on either the board or on the user's talk page. Also, it says that in extreme cases, the user may be blocked. This was hardly an extreme case. "Ridiculous," while constituting a personal attack, is hardly offensive. Beyond that, T:BLOCK says that personal attackers "should be given one warning prior to a cool-off ban." I see no warning. Anyhow, this user's block was only for a week, so it doesn't really matter. I just think that if one personal attack results in a block with no warning, you should change the policies to reflect that. The policies should reflect practice. CloneMarshalCommanderCody ☎ 02:14, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Lists of appearances[[edit source]]
Hello. I was wondering whether there are any guidelines to creating lists of appearances. I found a discussion about this, but it seems no guidelines have been created yet, correct? In particular, I'd like to know if there is any rule as to the order in which stories should be mentioned. Do they have to be in the order they were released? That seems logical, because it is often not possible to determine the in-universe order, but I wanted to check. I'm asking all this because I want to add some stories which are now missing from companions' lists of appearances to these lists, and some of these lists could do with being organised in the publishing order. Do I do that or not? Thanks in advance. SwordLily621 ☎ 12:46, September 24, 2014 (UTC)
First/last name basis[[edit source]]
Hello there! I see that you just changed a few occurrences of "Smith" into "Sarah" in the Stone Tape theory article.

Hi Shambala108,
I noticed you reverted my edit to Eddie Connolly on the grounds of it not being relevant to the article. I could be mistaken, but I don't see it anywhere in the policies about it being described as irrelevant to put notes on the wiki articles about a real-world person bearing a resemblance to a Doctor Who character. I did think it maybe didn't really add anything constructive to the article, (i.e., the note could've been not very interesting to the average reader and was rather pointless).

- I haven't read the story but the Doctor Who Reference Guide's description begins with "Sometime in the 1960s". MystExplorer ☎ 17:12, November 6, 2014 (UTC)
- All right then. I'll make the necessary changes. MystExplorer ☎ 17:55, November 6, 2014 (UTC)
User:Duncs Kinnear-swift[[edit source]]
Hello, Shambala. I noticed that you left a message on Duncs' talk page notifying him that he was blocked because of his editing of infoboxes. Just thought that I'd let you know that he is back; and has done a lot of counter-productive infobox editing, including removing Mister Sweet from the enemy box on the Crimson Horror page, even though Sweet was almost certainly an enemy in that episode. He also violated the T:NO HTML policy on the Silver Nemesis page, a mistake which I myself made that you reverted on the Dark Water page, as I had forgotten about the policy.

If Missy is the Master then Missy's page is not needed anymore. TheGreatGabester ☎ 22:26, November 8, 2014 (UTC)

Character Stubs[[edit source]]
Hi there! For the time being, I am going to be working through the character stubs, as there is no point in having an article with only a snippet of information. I would just like to let you know as I am adding a great deal of information to these pages, which so far have hardly anything on them. If I do make a small minor mistake, and I know I might here and there, please do not hesitate to pick me up on it, and it would be fantastic if you would correct it (you probably will without thinking anyway, knowing you!). I look forward to working with you on this project that is sure to improve the Wiki. Thanks Layton4 19:43, November 11, 2014 (UTC)
5.68.18.64[[edit source]]
Hi. I would like to make a complaint about a user, 5.68.18.64. He keeps changing edits on the Death in Heaven page every time another user changes the content. I do manage to change them back but I was just wondering can you or another admin give him a warning before he does it again. Thanks. Lewody1 ☎ 07:13, November 13, 2014 (UTC)

Blink[[edit source]]
Hi. I simply aimed to correct what had previously been written - someone else had put Blink in the category for "Stories set in Lancashire". That was an error on my part - sorry about that. I will recorrect it. Thanks. 66 Seconds ☎ 22:58, November 15, 2014 (UTC)
RE Changing Edits[[edit source]]
He seems to have stopped doing it now. But when someone changed the page he used to revert the edit to how it was before like removing the information that the Brigadier was in the episode and every time a user reverted it back he changed it again. But like I said he has stopped doing it now. Lewody1 ☎ 23:12, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

Re: 50th Anniversary Celebration[[edit source]]
Hi, there. Sorry about the mistake on the formatting. I'll try to be more careful in the future. Take care! -- Tom H12 ☎ 14:42, November 24, 2014 (UTC)
Re: Redundant Categories[[edit source]]
Oh gosh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize that. I just noticed that series 1-4 were subbed under the TW TV show category and I thought there was only supposed to be the most specific category on a page. Sorry! Mewiet ☎ 16:42, November 26, 2014 (UTC)
Evergreen[[edit source]]
I haven't read either story but from what I understand, Evergreen is set during the Eighth Doctor's amnesiac stay on Earth. That was took place in the 20th century. In That Which Went Away, the Doctor thinks they're in either the 8th or 9th century. There's no category for 8th century individuals so I put Einar in 9th century individuals.MystExplorer ☎ 16:42, November 26, 2014 (UTC)
