Redlinks are good!
Hiya :) Thanks for your edits to the Earth mammals pages. I hope you're enjoying playing the Game of Rassilon.  However, I must ask you not to deprive articles of their redlinks, as you did at porcupine.  Redlinks, like that articles link to the non-existent salt, provide a valuable counter.  The more redlinks there are to a word, the higher it goes up the list at Special:WantedPages, and therefore the more likely it is that someone will create hte pages.

If you've been taking out redlinks on other Earth mammals pages, please now put them back. Think of it this way: you'll have gotten double points in the game for making an honest mistake! That's a deal, right? 06:33: Fri 23 Sep 2011
 * No worries. Easy enough mistake to make.  I didn't figure you were being malicious.  Yeah, our general rule of thumb around here is that anything that is mentioned in a narrative potentially gets a page.  And salt is clearly mentioned in several stories.  We just haven't gotten around to writing the page yet.   06:47: Fri 23 Sep 2011

Recent category adding
Hi, I've rolled back a series of your edits where you've added categories like Category:United States of America locations to Wall Street, this article (and similarly others you've added "country/region locations" categories) are already within a sub-category of USA locations. See Category:New York City locations, you can see that it's within the USA locations category. So because it's in that category the USA locations category doesn't need to be added to this article. The same goes for European locations.

Usually the most specific category had been added, the more general location categories are an upper level category used to hold the sub-categories or for general subjects that don't fit into the smaller sub-categories. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:14, September 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's fine. Everyone has to learn and making mistakes is part of that.
 * Though, I would suggest exploring the wiki, categories and all so you can get a handle on the logic of how everything works.
 * The Manual of Style while long does give explanations of most of the questions that are likely to arise.
 * If there's any questions feel free to ask, if I can't provide an answer I can point you to a help page, example or another user who can assist you. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:34, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Recent summary adding
I've noticed that you've been adding summaries to some of the short story pages. However, these have been taken verbatim from the Doctor Who Reference Guide, which is Plagiarism according to this wiki's rules. Please undo at your earliest convenience. Doug86 14:01, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Pic tips
Hey, great job on most of your pic uploads today! Thanks for taking the time to capture some relatively obscure characters. They were all nicely licensed and well within our size limits.

I did have to delete a few, though, because they were longer than they were wide, which is especially problematic on pages where there's not likely to be much text. Stick to pictures that approach widescreen (16:9) dimensions. (See T:ICC for more.) This means you sometimes do have to crop things.

Note, also, that minor characters don't necessarily have to appear in a one-shot. Two-shots are acceptable, especially when the other person in the frame is well known. For instance, the vidographer at Donna's wedding (Rodri, is it?) is, I think, only in two-shots with the Tenth Doctor. Since we know who the Tenth Doctor is, there's no particular problem in Rodri's infobox pic including the Tenth Doctor. Also, take care to remove any black which frames the pic, which you tend to get when you take the whole frame.

In general, though, your pics today were great! Keep 'em comin'! 13:28: Sun 13 Nov 2011

By the way
Just so you know, it is not acceptable for a user just to edit pages that give them achievements; as you seem to have over the past 24 hours. Achievements are there to encourage users to edit there as well as other places on the wiki; you should not just edit there. Your recent edits mainly been around Torchwood television stories and Sarah Jane Smith audio stories.

Please remember that editing soley for achievement reasons can get you blocked and kicked of the Game of Rassilon, which you and we don't want. So just remember to edit every where you can on the wiki, not just in the places where there are achievements. MM/ Want to talk? 20:16, December 18, 2011 (UTC) 19:54: Tue 20 Dec 2011

X century individuals
Please note that a person's age does not factor into what century of individual they are. (i.e. 20th century individual) The only factor that really counts is the era we see them in or hear about them in. In other words, if we see a person in a sotry that take place in 2009, we say they are 21st century individuals. Even if they are 50 years old. However, if they mention something from 1980 and that they were present there, then they would be 20th and 21st century individuals. MM/ Want to talk? 23:28, January 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Exactly. We don't know there background, for all we know they just have 'pop out the ground' or an alien from the future. If that was the case to say a century purely based in age would be wrong. It is simpler, and makes more sense to only categorise them by what era we see them in. MM/ Want to talk? 23:41, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
