User talk:Thesmith123
Thesmith123Thanks 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. SmallerOnTheOutside ☎ 06:39, February 4, 2014 (UTC)
Recent contribs[[edit source]]
Hey. Since a lot of your contributions have been deleted, I thought I might point you to the reasons why and the relevant policies, so we don't have to go through this again. Firstly, I'd have a look at Tardis:What the Tardis Data Core is not. We're not a place for opinions or discussion. If you want to discuss such things, don't create articles in the main namespace on them; go to The Howling.
Another thing we're not is Wikipedia. Even if your entire "The Dalek Race" article wasn't completely pulled from WP — which is expressly disallowed by T:WIKIPEDIA — it fails our local standard of an in-universe perspective. That is, the main body of articles must be written in the past tense and must be entirely from valid in-universe sources, and any non-narrative information goes in a "behind the scenes" section at the bottom.
While your Unproduced Doctor Who Episodes was a slight improvement, this topic's already adequately covered in the pages within Category:Unproduced Doctor Who stories.
Please just have a look around to see what kind of articles we accept, to get a feel of our standards here. If you have any questions, just drop a message on my talk page.
