Your Request
I'm afraid I can't help you, as I presently don't a scanner to scan the pictures with. I might suggest searching for pics online.The Nth Doctor ☎  03:25, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

Totem
Hello. The short story Totem is clearly getting out of hand. I see you live in Versailles. Perhaps your understandings of English adjectives may be a bit fuzzy? "Grey-blue" is not "blue". They are two totally separate descriptions. "Plain" means rather everyday, and certainly not the shirts that Eight wore.

Next, even apart from these

a)no date is ever given, or even hinted at

b)Two place names are listed as being nearby...Machico and Funchal. Both are in Portugal(and near to each other). Yet, you want to say that the story takes place in both Spain and Mexico.

c)The article states that the Doctor "talks to his former self in his mind".i)there is nothing which says the other man is "his former self" ii)The Senora hears the other man, and at one stage hears both voices at the same time. Clearly it's not him "talking to himself in his mind". Master of Spiders ☎  16:13, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Reply to your message on my talk page
I NEVER made fun of your ethnicity. I'm pretty sure you realize this. I merely stated that perhaps, as English is not your first language, you may be unaware of some of the nuances of the English language. That is in no way "making fun of your ethnicity". Your English is still infinitely better than my French. Master of Spiders ☎  17:22, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

The 50th
Please remember that there is nothing to indicate that the 50th anniversary special will be part of series 7. Please refrain from adding it to the series 7 page until we have clear and concise proof that it is included as part of the series.

It is mostly like to be included by itself, thus it will have its own page - a bit like the TV movie. However, we will have to wait and see. MM/ Want to talk? 00:09, February 12, 2013 (UTC)

That doesn't seem to matter with this person. Once he gets an idea in his head, it becomes fact, whether there is anything to verify it or not. 14:21, February 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * No. You wouldn't put information regarding a potential fifth series of Torchwood on the series 4 page, so why would we do it with the 50th? It's is an awkward one I'll admit - since we don't know the format of the special.


 * It is still best to wait until we find out more - only a mere drip on information has been announced - so wait until something is concert about the format, production coding etc, until we decide on anything.


 * The information on Doctor Who is all we need right now. MM/ Want to talk? 14:55, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

Proper use of update tag
Please remember that is only for indicating that a topic is missing major gobs of material. The Chameleon Factor doesn't qualify as a major omission at TARDIS console room. It was a one-off, temporary aberration, caused by the loss of the signet ring in the console. DWM never revisited that TARDIS interior, and every indication in the comic was that it was going to right itself as the effects of the signet ring wore off. 21:02: Tue 12 Feb 2013

"No personal attacks" report
You filed a formal personal attack complaint against Master of Spiders, hereinafter MOS. After several days' deliberations, I find the following: It is my belief that, given the above, you are at least partially to blame for the bad behaviour you believe MOS exhibited. If you kick a dog and the dog bites you, is the dog guilty of attacking you — or did it merely act in self-defence? 06:56: Wed 13 Feb 2013
 * Your complaint was based on misunderstanding. I find no malice, only poor word choice, in his query of your English language skills.  A common-sense reading of "Versailles" is indeed France, not Kentucky.  I do think MOS could have found a better turn of phrase to explore your possible ESL status, but there is no necessary insult in reading your profile and coming to the conclusion that your grasp of English might be shaky.  You might consider making it clearer in your profile that you are American, so as to immunise yourself from this sort of misunderstanding in future.
 * He did violate NPA with his most recent edit to this page. He has been warned against future personal attacks.
 * Leaving messages on his talk page that you were going to run to me and report him wasn't your most brilliant move. Unless it was your intent to emulate a child telling on their sibling. It's probably a better idea to try to find some way to communicate with the other party than to say that you're going to tell on them for breaking a local rule.
 * The huge ASCII face palm that you emplaced at Talk:Totem (short story) is completely inappropriate, incendiary and a waste of vertical space.
 * You are far, far too aggressive throughout the page Talk:Totem (short story). Stick as much as possible to the facts of the debate, not to showing signs of indignation or exasperation.
 * Avoid the use of ALL CAPS, which are usually taken as a sign of aggression.
 * Saying that you're not going to read what someone has taken the time to write is rude. People work hard over their contributions to this wiki, even on talk pages.  Please refrain from saying that you're "not even gonna read" something.
 * You have utterly failed to welcome a new user with different views to your own. At every turn you've utterly dismissed his views. Now, fine, that's no violation of policy.  But, if I can be constructively critical for a moment, you're not exactly our Ambassador of Good Will at the moment, are you?  If you cannot be nice, then at least confine yourself to arguments that take the other person's views seriously and give them policy reasons why their views are hard for us to include on our content pages.
 * Please explain your recent comments at Talk:Totem to me, in light of my above guidance. Is there some reason I shouldn't read your statements as aggressive? Is there some kind of justification you'd like to offer for the use of angry ALL CAPS?


 * You're no longer a newbie around here. New users like Master of Spiders will be looking to old hands like you as exemplars of our community.  And you haven't represented the best of this community at all in this discussion.


 * I'm not saying that you should be like me. I'm talky and not a model for everyone.  But look at how Shambala and Revan stick to the facts.  They aren't shouty and aggressive.  They point to facts and don't at all worry about their personal reputation or whether they're getting through to the other party.  They just say what they have to say, as clearly as they can say it, and then they move on.  Learn from them, please.  02:10: Fri 15 Feb 2013

Death?
What exactly do you mean when you say that "regeneration is death"? The Doctor doesn't die--he changes. -- Bold  Clone  01:39, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't get what you're saying; are you claiming that each Doctor dies, and then is resurrected? If so, that's clearly not the case. Resusitated? Maybe. However, the whole point of regeneration is that it avoids death; a Time Lord (usually) regenerates when he/she has been mortally injured, and so regenerates to put off death. The Doctor changes his body, but he's still the Doctor, he just has a new body and personality, that's all. -- Bold  Clone  02:03, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * But that's just it; Seven didn't die; he was mortally injured. He would have regenerated immediately, except for the pain-killers. -- Bold  Clone  03:47, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but no. No, no, no. Regeneration is about stopping death, not coming back from it. The Tenth Doctor himself admitted this: "Even if I change, it feels like dying. Everything I am dies. Some new man goes sauntering away...and I'm dead." --The End of Time In this regeneration story, he's talking to Wilf about regeneration and confesses that even though it's not actually death, it feels like it. His individual personality and body are replaced with a new one, but he's still the same man. The Doctor wasn't concerning about dying; he was concerned about his tenth incarnation ending, to be replaced with the eleventh. -- Bold  Clone  04:11, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, Ten is giving his opinion there; even though the Doctor knows he's not actually dying, he feels like his individual incarnation (Ten) will die. So it comes down to how you look at the matter; the Doctor may not really die in-between incarnations, but the individual incarnation "dies" in a sense. Will the casual fan looking at the wiki know that? Probably not; that's why I changed it to "regenerate" in the first place; the last thing the wiki needs is to confuse new fans, especially with Series 7.5 on its way. The reader needs to know that all the incarnations of the Doctor really are the Doctor, and I think that having "death" instead of "regeneration" will only confuse them. This way, with "regeneration" as the title, we can establish continuity between the incarnations and help make the connection that they are different forms of the same person. Make sense? -- Bold  Clone  04:57, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * None of the pages for the different Doctors currently have a section called "Regeneration" at the top of the biography; usually it's "post-regeneration". With "post-regeneration" at the top and "regeneration" (or maybe "next regeneration"?) at the bottom, I don't think that we'd get fans confused. I suppose the we could re-title the "Final Death" section "Actual Regeneration"? Would that work? -- Bold  Clone  05:25, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * I disagree. Death is not more accurate; it's not like Ten is a distinct being from Nine and Eleven. He is simply another form of the same being. At no point does the individual being called the Doctor actually die--certain aspects of him change, but he is still the same. (I apologize here if I sound like a broken record--broken record--broken record. :D ) Again, the Doctor does not DIE in-between incarnations; Ten himself specifically confirms it. The Doctor does not die, but changes. However, he confesses that sometimes, it feels like he is dying. Everything that makes the tenth incarnation Ten is washed away, replaced with Eleven. To confirm, the Doctor does not actually die in regeneration; in fact, regeneration is exactly to opposite of death. If one wants to say that the individual incarnation of the Doctor "dies" in regeneration, then fine, he "dies." But saying that is only going to confuse fans who come here, and I don't want that to happen. What's more, I doubt Czech would like that either. The wiki exists as a fanbase for old and new, but to attract new fans, we want to be as easy-to-understand as possible, and especially with something as important as regeneration. -- Bold  Clone  20:53, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * (BTW, if we can't really reach an agreement over this, what to you want to do? Do you think a forum might be a good idea, so we can get a wider consensus? Something to break the stalemate?) -- Bold  Clone  20:57, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you want to just shift over to the forums now, or do some more debating first? :D I'm fine either way. -- Bold  Clone  19:22, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. :) -- Bold  Clone  19:38, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey; I've got the discussion up here, if you want to continue there. -- Bold  Clone  03:45, February 20, 2013 (UTC)

TARDIS image
Thanks for fixing my mistake. I should've looked at Logopolis's page before posting it. Cult Of Skaro Here.|Communicate here. 22:22, February 22, 2013 (UTC)

The Dark Path
Hi there. I'm just writing to clarify the revertion of your edit to the Master's page. The events of the Dark Path depict the events that lead to the Master beginning his vendetta against the Doctor, therefore The Nameless City must go after it. About your rationale for the move of the paragraph; the Dark Path does not tie directly into the Third Doctor's era, as the Master's exit from the events of that story does not lead him directly into Terror of the Autons or any other story where he is faced with the Third Doctor. I hope this brief explanation clears things up. --Revan\Talk 11:01, February 25, 2013 (UTC)

Ah that's interesting, I thought that Housewarming and The Duke of Dominoes were the only Decalog stories with the Master in. Looking up the plotline however, I have heard of what happends before, and it does seem that there's a gap between The Dark Path and the Master being put in Shada, so you're right there.

So I think we should keep The Nameless City after The Dark Path and before any of the Third Doctor stuff, as they tend to meet in the right order (excluding Legacy of the Daleks). --Revan\Talk 08:41, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
