Image upload names
Hi. It's not a major thing, but when uploading images keep in mind the length of the file names, just in case that image needs to be used again, ease of typing etc should be taken into account File:The 10th Doctor puuting in the rest of his regeneration into his hand so that his body woulded change.jpg is a very descriptive title, but rather long. (Also remember to select licensing when uploading images, this adds a licensing template saving users from adding it later). Thanks --Tangerineduel 16:16, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Edits
How many edits can you make to Jack Harkness in the 20th Century?! :P Hahaa I'm joking of course. Where did you get that picture of Jack in 1965? Cos I need some screencaps for Children of Earth but I can't seem to find any... Thanks! --Will101 21:15, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Categories
Categories for in-universe items need to be of an in-universe nature. So for example items that are Sarah Jane Smith's are in Category:Sarah Jane Smith's items. Having categories like The Sarah Jane Smith Adventures' items, doesn't really work, not the least because it's adding in-universe items and fitting them into an out-of-universe structure but also because if the category existed it would likewise need to be mirrored across Torchwood and Doctor Who (which would result in gigantic categories).

Additionally when creating categories watch out for the apostrophe use. The category as you created it: Category:The Sarah Jane Adventures item's is incorrect (grammatically), the apostrophe in this situation denotes possession. Which Category:Sarah Jane Smith's items does correctly (which states these are Sarah Jane Smith's items). The apostrophe here states that these items (plural) are Sarah Jane Smith's (possessive apostrophe) Thanks. --Tangerineduel 15:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Jack Harkness edits
Hi, there. I was in the middle of an extensive edit to the Jack Harkness page when you added the EW pic. Given that I had edits in almost every paragraph, merging them with your edit was not feasible, and I simply replaced your text with mine. As far as I could tell, the only change you made was adding the pic, which I added back in afterwards. If you made any other changes that I missed, please take a look at it again. Sorry!

Torchwood Series 1/2/3 Characters
Hi, as I've previously stated categories applied to in-universe elements need to be in-universe, therefore 'Tochwood Series 1/2/3 Characters doesn't work. By calling them 'characters' it places the category out-of-universe because you're using an out of universe perspective in order to classify them. --Tangerineduel 11:59, April 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * But they characters they even have it for the srcubs wikipeadia page. --User:Silversurfer06 23:17, April 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * This isn't a Scrubs wiki, nor is it Wikipedia. The rules there are not the same as the rules here. -- sulfur 23:54, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

Image licensing
Hi, please USE the licensing drop down menu when uploading images such as screenshots. If you don't other editors have to manually add the copyright tags to the images. For all your most recent image uploads it would have involved 2 extra clicks to select the drop down menu and BBC screenshots. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 13:09, August 26, 2010 (UTC)

Spoilers
Please do not put spoilers onto main articles. Appearances in future episodes count as spoilers and therefore should not go on character pages until the episode airs. The Thirteenth Doctor 22:59, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Creating articles
Please follow the Tardis:Format for Television Story Entries when creating a TV story article. For The Sarah Jane Adventures please copy the text on the Template:Infobox Sarah Jane Adventures, this contains the correctly formatted links to The Sarah Jane Adventures series pages etc. It really saves other editors cutting and pasting and fixing up an article.

Additionally please note the basic requirements for creating an TV story article. Without these a page may be deleted. --Tangerineduel 15:21, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Promotional images
Please do not add promotional images to articles, this means you cannot add the image of Gwen Cooper from "Miracle Day" since it#s a promo. This is part of our manual of style, and may been seen as vandalism and can get you blocked if you continue to do so. 20:51:07 Fri 15 Jul 2011

Image licensing
I note that you have re-uploaded file:Fbgdb.jpg without correcting the issue that got that picture deleted in the first place. As you have been told by Tangerineduel], and as is clear in tardis:Image use policy and help:files and the current revision of MediaWiki:Community-corner, all uploaded images must have one of our copyright licenses attached. This policy is strictly enforced on this wiki, even if it is not on other Wikia wikis.

We have a responsibility to clearly tell people who use our site who owns the copyright on the pictures we display. Please return to the picture noted above, and any other pictures you may have recently uploaded, and ensure they bear an appropriate copyright template. In the case of the above-named picture, that license is screenshot. All you have to do is copy and paste that phrase on the file.

In the future, we urge you to use Special:Upload and Special:MultipleUpload, both of which provide a convenient drop-down menu of licenses.

Thanks :) 00:59:24 Tue 13 Sep 2011 22:53: Tue 20 Dec 2011
