This will get further support and more donations (assuming this wiki is setup for donation support?!) We actually have quite a lot of rules and policies on this wiki — in fact I've recently seen a complaint that we have too many — because we're dealing with a 50-year-old show with spin-offs, prose, audio, comic stories, etc. etc. etc. We even have a few of our more important rules plastered where everyone can see them. But there are still users who don't see them or take the time to look up our policies. There's only so much you can do to get a user's attention.

Sigh.....guys this thread is already starting to unravel, czeckout makes it sound like there are no formal policies etc and I believe he should know this as the founder - try to get your stories straight before y'all post LOL!!!!!!!! anywho...........if you have policies etc then surely you can 1) publish these all in one place so you've somewhere to send noobs and contributors etc - no this isn't done yet - and 2)review these policies periodically with feedback from general contributors and publish these reviews - this would greatly enhance the reliability of your review process and this wiki!

Also, a statement on censorship policies would be good! I have so many relevant, simply factual, comments removed even after meticulous adherence to all the policies I've read on here and it's starting to look like the wiki has something to hide on this particular topic that I wont mention here just incase ;)! Given that this wiki now has a public reputation of "if the information isn't on here then it isn't true" it is even more important that all facts regarding Dr.Who are allowed to be published!

As I said before, great discussions here guys - I feel we'll be able to get the wiki review process back "up to code" fairly quickly at this rate :)
