Some basic editing guidelines
Hi, please do not add categories to pages until you've edited here for a while. We use a nested category system, and you've been adding categories to pages that technically already have those categories under the nested system. For now please just observe how we do categories here. Also, we use British English on this wiki, including grammar, except in very rare cases. Thanks Shambala108 ☎  02:54, 8 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi please note that it is against policy to make unuseful edits for the purpose of getting Game of Rassilon points. The categories you added at McDonald's clearly are incorrect and continued violation of policy could result in a block. See Tardis:Game of Rassilon rules. Shambala108 ☎  03:33, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

As an admin I am telling you to stop adding categories to pages. Please find some other way to contribute to this wiki until you understand our category rules (which you don't understand at present). Shambala108 ☎  00:50, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Last warning: do not add categories to pages. The ones you are adding are incorrect and have the appearance of only being added to earn Game of Rassilon points. Please carefully read Tardis:Game of Rassilon rules. Shambala108 ☎  01:57, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Since you ignored my warning and continued to add categories to pages incorrectly, you have been blocked for a week. It's not fair for other users to have to clean up after you since you won't bother to learn our category rules. Shambala108 ☎  03:51, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

You are again blocked for a week for ignoring my instructions to not add categories to pages. You still don't understand our category system, and you're just creating extra work for the rest of us. You mentioned on my talk page that you weren't sure about an edit you made; if you're not sure ask an admin before performing the edit. Shambala108 ☎  03:58, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

I've tried to be nice by only blocking you for a week each time you've ignored my instructions to not put categories on pages. Since you have again ignored these instructions, and incidentally not bothered to learn how our category system works, you are now blocked for a month. Shambala108 ☎  02:35, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

User talk pages
Hi if you have a question about the wiki, especially if you see something you think doesn't belong here, please do not just ask a random user on their talk page. That's why we have admins. Ask an admin on their talk page instead. You can find the list of admins at Tardis:Administrators thanks Shambala108 ☎  23:41, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Categories
Hi you need to stop editing category descriptions or adding categories to pages. You still haven't learned our category system; in general the categories you add to pages are unnecessary. In addition, your descriptions of categories use too much real world knowledge and are therefore too narrow or too broad for what we want. Please find another way to edit here until you have more experience editing in different ways. I suggest you use the "random page" function to view pages to see how we do things here and visit Tardis:Categorisation and Tardis:Don't over-categorise. Any further adding of categories or editing of category descriptions could result in a very long block because you have been blocked several times for ignoring admin instructions. Thanks for your attention Shambala108 ☎  05:31, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * To reiterate, please stop editing category pages and giving them descriptions. It doesn't do anything at best. And at worst you get things wrong because you don't understand our category system. Najawin ☎  01:11, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Re:Crook
Since you keep asking people, I figured I'd let you know. It is the official policy of this wiki that unless something is stated in a Doctor Who Universe source it's not to be included in an in universe page. See T:NO RW. (Also, please put four "~"s at the end of comments on talk pages as it gives a signature. See T:SIG WHEN.) Najawin ☎  07:13, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I literally explained to you right here why you can't just call them crooks on pages unless you have a specific source saying so. I also noted that you need to use four "~"s to sign your comments. If you had read the comments on this page, like Shambala suggested, you would have the answer to your question. Najawin ☎  02:14, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Please. I implore you. Try to read the messages on your talk page from myself, Shambala, and Nate. Try to read our policies. Because you keep violating our policies in the exact same ways we tell you how to avoid (insisting on using the term "crook" when no in-universe source does so, adding categories when you don't understand our category system, etc). It makes the jobs of every other editor here harder, because we have to check all your edits. Eventually an admin is just going to block you from contributing, and nobody here wants that. We want everyone to be able to contribute positively to the wiki who wishes to do so. So please, please, please. Try to learn wiki policies. Najawin ☎  00:58, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
 * You know what they say: fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, uhh, T:FAITH, I cannot possibly comment further! – n8 (☎) 01:53, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Edits to Time Travel
Hey, please read T:POV, we write in-universe articles in past-tense, and the term you changed was cited from a specific novel, per T:NO RW we don't just add things unless there's an in universe source like that novel. Najawin ☎  07:13, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

Note from an admin
Hi several users have cited policies on this wiki that you are still not following. I suggest you read through, understand, and familiarize yourself with every policy cited on your talk page, because if you continue to violate these policies, even after other users have reverted your edits and admins have cautioned you, then the only assumption left would be that you want to vandalize this wiki. And I don't think that's the case, but if you want to participate here, you must learn and follow the rules. They aren't made up just for the fun of it, they are there to make this wiki better and to make editing easier and more consistent. Shambala108 ☎  03:30, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Crooks
Hi, I've seen your messages on a few people's talk pages about the crook/criminal debate, and maybe I can help clear things up. Hopefully that helps.
 * Thief: a person who steals things. Often this involves burglary, but not always.
 * Burglar: a person who breaks into a building to commit a crime. Often this crime is stealing (making the person a thief), but not always.
 * Crook: derogatory slang for a criminal of any type. Not all crooks are thieves, and not all thieves are crooks.

It doesn't seem like any of your edits have been based on stories; they're mostly about definitions. Speaking as a mere fellow editor, a good idea might be to read, watch, or listen to a story we cover on this wiki, then add information from that story to relevant pages. Stick to what's in the story, rather than adding your own definitions. I think if you do that, people will stop reverting your edits. – n8 (☎) 02:17, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Vandalism
Just so you know, you absolutely cannot remove other user's comments on your talk page, see T:DVAN. It's considered vandalism on this wiki. Najawin ☎  01:15, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I reverted it. But you should probably read through our policies. I'm sure an admin will eventually block you again if you keep violating them, and nobody wants that. Najawin ☎  01:54, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Talk page
Hi please stop leaving messages on my talk page that have nothing to do with editing the wiki thanks Shambala108 ☎  03:37, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Block
You are blocked for a week for failing to follow my instructions to not add categories to pages. You incorrectly added a category to night, which you would have understood if you had read the category description. This is a little puzzling since you've lately been added descriptions to other category pages, but don't bother to read the ones already written. Also, you are not blocked for this, but you have been making small edits that are often unhelpful and sometimes even wrong. If you don't plan to read any of the policies that I and other users have cited on this page, then maybe you should find somewhere else to edit. Shambala108 ☎  00:35, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Merry early Christmas 2
Hey, thanks for the nice message! A Merry (early) Christmas to you too! OncomingStorm12th ☎  18:33, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk page again
I already told you once to stop leaving non-wiki-editing messages on my talk page. It's starting to feel like harassment. Shambala108 ☎  15:35, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

No Real World
Yet again I ask, please read T:NO RW. We explicitly cannot use information unless it's used in a Doctor Who Universe story. It does not matter how people behave in real life. If it's not explicitly stated to be that way in the Doctor Who Universe, we do not add it to this wiki. You've already been temporarily blocked a few times, it's likely to be a full block if this continues, and really, nobody wants this. If you want to contribute to the wiki, read some stories, watch some episodes, and then edit based solely on what these things are saying. Najawin ☎  02:13, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Spouse
Please do not take any such actions as you have suggested. Your edits still show that you have read very few of our policies. You would be better off reading all the policy pages we have cited above, browsing a variety of pages to see how we do things, and maybe taking a look at some other Category:Policies. I don't know if you realize this, but most of your edits have been reverted for violating various rules. And at this point you're not even signing your name correctly on talk pages. Thank you for your attention Shambala108 ☎  04:53, 8 December 2022 (UTC)

Christmas and New Year
Ooops, didn't check my notifications in time to reply wishing you a Merry Christmas, but Happy New Year to you! :)

(Also, please remember to sign your messages with four tildes, like this: ~ at the end of messages, so people know it's you who posted it and can reply). OncomingStorm12th ☎  21:08, 26 December 2022 (UTC)

Grammar edits
Hi, many of your edits are grammatically incorrect (especially the comma ones) or are just unnecessary changes to word choice. Please do not make these kinds of edits, especially if you have to ask in your edit summary if the edit is correct. If you don't know, don't do it. And do not change any more commas. I suggest reading Tardis:Comma to get some of the necessary information on how to use commas.

Also there have been complaints that you are still violating T:NO RW in some of your edits. You haven't done this in the last few days, but you have been told many times that we only use story sources on our in-universe pages; we don't assume that the DW universe is the same as the real world. Since you have been told many times to read the policy but you continue to violate it, a further edit of this kind might result in a longer block than the previous ones. Thank you for your attention Shambala108 ☎  03:49, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Real world
You've been blocked again for violating T:NO RW. This is the fifth time you've been blocked for ignoring instructions posted by experienced users and admins. At this point, it appears that either you are refusing to read and understand the policy, or you are ignoring it. I'm not going to "repeat" myself (again); instead I suggest you re-read every post on this page and visit all the policy links that have been suggested. Shambala108 ☎  03:19, 26 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hey. Please stop adding pictures that don't have DWU sources to pages, or editing pages if there isn't a DWU source for the claims. You've been blocked before. It causes more work for everyone else. Najawin ☎  02:50, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

New block
I really don't know what to say anymore. You are again blocked for ignoring my and other users' instructions re T:NO RW. Shambala108 ☎  03:39, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
