User talk:SpeedyTARDIS
SpeedyTARDISThanks 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'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:
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 ☎ 19:46, November 29, 2013 (UTC)
Request[[edit source]]
Hi! Thanks for your help in curbing the rampant vandalism here. However, if you find that a particular user is committing multiple offenses, please let an admin know so he can be blocked from further editing. In particular, you can leave a message on my talk page and I will take care of the matter. And please do not engage the vandal in "conversation" — he desperately wants attention, and conversation gives that to him. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 15:57, December 23, 2013 (UTC)
Okay, I'll make sure to do that. Alert Admin next time there's a user doing vandalisim Got it bold and clear! :D SpeedyTARDIS ☎ 15:59, December 23, 2013 (UTC)
Christmas cheer[[edit source]]
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!
Ordering why you deleted my more detailed analysis of Episode 1 of The Savages as vandalism.

Vandalism[[edit source]]
Hi! Please familiarize yourself with Tardis:Vandalism policy. Some of your edit reverts that you labelled as vandalism are not vandalism at all, in particular, User:TheMasterRace's edit on The Savages is not vandalism. It is misleading to put "vandalism" in the edit summary when there is no vandalism on the page. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 23:55, December 27, 2013 (UTC)
Okay....SpeedyTARDIS ☎ 00:09, December 28, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for this Sham - can I revert it?

Bells of St John[[edit source]]
I started a discussion on Clara's status on Talk:The Bells of Saint John: A Prequel (webcast). If the anon user wants to change her status, he'll have to discuss it first and wait for consensus. For now, it stands as "featuring". Shambala108 ☎ 16:06, January 3, 2014 (UTC)
Vandalism[[edit source]]
I have reverted all the vandalism I could find, including that on Azes13's talk page. Needless to say, the user is banned. I guess he didn't realize just how easy it is to find proof of who edited what. Thanks for your help and sorry that you had to put up with this. You are of course free to remove any and all content placed on your user and talk pages when it comes to vandalism. Shambala108 ☎ 18:15, January 28, 2014 (UTC)
That's what I did for my user and talk pages, continuously. Thank you, though :D Geronimo! ☎ 18:18, January 28, 2014 (UTC)
