Sorry P&P but I haven't removed any invalid tag at all, I promise this. I'm sorry for the inconvenience though still. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  13:53, January 20, 2016 (UTC)

Piscons
I know the first piscon book says thanks to Nev Fountain to licensing it. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  09:24, January 25, 2016 (UTC)

Behold the Christabel
Thanks for making it right. In hindsight, why didn't I think of putting the author into BhS? Oh, well, I will learn some day.

Also, just to make sure: I don't think the titular character of the poem, a girl named Christabel, should be given her own page. My reasoning: she has no significance to DWU outside of the poem. Plus her page would be a third "Christabel..." page, making it necessary to create a disambiguation page, which would definitely be too much ado about nothing.

Page moves
Ah right, I'll do that in future. Sorry about the trouble! KingOrokos ☎  12:22, February 8, 2016 (UTC)

Twelfth Doctor page
Hello. I was wondering if it's possible to make the Twelfth Doctor page editable only by registered users? I noticed for several days last month unregistered user, 68.111.182.93, began coming onto the wiki with the sole purpose of changing the spouse section from River to Clara and after a week of this got banned for the behavior. Two days later another unregistered user, 108.171.131.189, popped up and began deleting River's name and/or the spouse section in the infobox. A couple other IPs that are only one digit off at the end also keep coming around to trade off changing the Twelfth Doctor page to do the same thing: 108.171.131.187, 108.171.131.186, and 108.171.131.188. It's too much of a coincidence for those four not to be the same person. Given the timing, I'm also wondering if the person with loosely varied IPs is also the same person who had been banned two days prior for extremely similar actions.

RE: Comic Images
Sorry about that mess you had to clean up. Is the Houdini image I uploaded last week too big? http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/File:Houdini_in_straight_jacket.jpg

Also, since you're already fixing my mistakes, could you delete this? http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/File:Harry_Houdini_in_straight_jacket.png

I'm scanning these pictures (which you can probably already see as your pictures are of higher quality). I now understand that my picture didn't have enough focus on the reporter, but is it okay in all other aspects? TheChampionOfTime ☎  20:48, February 15, 2016 (UTC)

Barnaby Edwards (actor) links
Thanks for fixing this. And sorry for not noticing myself. Amorkuz ☎  20:45, February 22, 2016 (UTC)

Hello P&P, please go and check out the Doctor Who Reviews Wiki. Where you can review Doctor Who Stories! Go to: http://doctor-who-reviews.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Who_Reviews_Wikia

Thank You! (Sorry if this is annoying)

This is important
Dear P&P, I've goofed big-time! Delete doctor_who_magazine_498_cover.jpg as soon as you read this message! I only read the warning when it was too late! The Champion of Time   ☎  20:27, April 19, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for catching that missing link.                                        On a completely different note, which you may already know about, I'm making a Doctor navigation box. It is currently missing a section for the Doctors this wiki considers invalid, but do you think that this has potential to become something used on this wiki? If so, then could you please give me tips on how to make it less ugly (if you have any)?   The Champion of Time     ☎  23:19, April 19, 2016 (UTC)

HTML tags
First of all, I apologize: you had to remove some HTML tagging after me several times by now. But I still do not understand why they occur.

This time my edits were reasonably simple, so I remember exactly what I did. I hope we could figure out how to avoid this in the future. This was a simple edit, so I used the visual editor (clicked on "edit" to the right of the section name). Then I cut and pasted the paragraph in which the HTML tags appeared. After which I edited manually another paragraph where the tags did not appear. So my guess is: cutting and pasting in the visual editor causes unwanted HTML code pollution. This is consistent with my memory of other cases when HTML tags occurred and had to be removed (sometimes I needed to switch to the text editor and saw them myself).

Is this a known issue? Is it browser/OS specific (I am using Safari on OS X)? While I am comfortable with the text editor, I would still like to be able to use the visual editor from time to time. Is it known whether only pasting in the visual editor causes this to happen? I would feel bad if my edits would force admins to clean up after me, and the problems are invisible in the visual editor, so pretty much cleaning after myself means that I don't use the visual editor anyway. Is it maybe possible to have a bot removing these tags? Or could you recommend some other solution that still allows me to use the visual editor without bothering you or other admins?

Image for Bremm
Before you delete the image, I hope to persuade you that it can be used. Let me try to counteract at least some of your objections: Well, now you have full information and can make an informed decision whether to delete the image. Amorkuz ☎  00:57, April 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * I know that promotional images are not optimal, but this is an audio, so CD cover and CD booklet are the only available images, and they have been used to illustrate characters. (By the way, can we use images from Vortex? And if so which license to use for them?)
 * You might say that one should use an image of a Cyberman from TV. But Cybermen were depicted in very different ways, even ones from Mondas proper. In addition, this is a rare case of an individual Cyberman, one with a name. So I claim that this picture depicts an individual rather than a representative of a race.
 * But how do I know it's Bremm and not Gramm, you might ask: there are two Cybermen in the story. Well, now you got me. Bremm is actually supposed to have a wooden arm during the story, and Gramm has first three arms and then four. So this is not a picture of any of them during the story. This is a picture of both of them in the uninjured state. So it might be said that this picture does not pertain to the story proper but only to flashbacks.

RE: Spoiler Policy
My mistake, I was under the impression that minor spoilers such as the appearance of a character were limited to the TV shows. Granted, you could perhaps make a case for the fact that David Warner appears on one of the covers of those new audio dramas dressed as Cuthbert, with cover itself typically counting as well-publicized, but you could also say that due to the nature of audio stories, you typically can't deduce the identities of the characters on the cover until you listen to the story. –Nahald ☎  01:17, April 29, 2016 (UTC)

SoundCloud
Dear PicassoAndPringles,

I think that adding trailers is an awesome idea. Thank you for doing it. But adding full audios for those stories that are available via SoundCloud is even better. To me, both are a brilliant new addition to the infobox.

PS I think I fixed the image of Bremm, by the way. Amorkuz ☎  20:31, May 6, 2016 (UTC)

Audio stories
Hi! A couple of months before you started editing here, a project was started to compile lists of audio story credits of crew members. After fizzling out for a couple of years, interest has been revived in the project. Since you are interested in the audio stories, you might be interested in the project. If so, please check out Thread:137970 for the guidelines of what we are doing. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  02:21, May 31, 2016 (UTC)


 * That's too bad, we only had about three people doing it before, which is probably why it died down a couple of years ago.


 * I left a message on PapiDimmi's page because he was complaining that you didn't have to block him. It turns out he was using a bot, so who knows how many more edits he would have done if you had just messaged him. Shambala108 ☎  02:58, June 3, 2016 (UTC)

Oops
Sorry about the empty Mary. I honestly have no idea how it happened. The visual editor was kinda glitchy all day yesterday, so I had to several edits several times on more than one occasion. Needless to say, had I realised that I had inadvertently erased everything, I would have restored it. Thanks for noticing and bringing it back. Amorkuz ☎  06:11, June 1, 2016 (UTC)
