Great, finally we're getting somewhere. Concerns of people get addressed.

And before proceeding, let me clear a misconception. I have no seniority. You, and I, and TheFartyDoctor, and Pluto2 have exactly the same rights. If I go out of line, I get shut down by an admin, like everyone else.

Now let me explain clearly my concerns. I did not mind the identification of timeships of Great Houses with TARDISes of Time Lords. What I mind is the automatic indiscriminate application of that identification to any and all timeships used by the Great Houses. I believe each case needs to be argued, much the same way as you persuasively (for me) argued for Lolita above. However, what I mind even more is the automatic application of unidentified individual timeships like the Ship to individual TARDISes. That needs to be argued even more carefully.

This thread began when the Ship was identified with the Doctor's TARDIS, which you have some evidence for but agree that this evidence has not yet been approved on this Wiki. This is what I opposed and will continue to oppose. Not the identification, but an automatic identification without any discussion.

Finally, I'd like to agree 10000% with TheFartyDoctor. If the arguments you use here and used before to get FP admitted are added in the BHS sections of relevant pages before edits to core pages are done, many editors would be able to find them on their own and wouldn't have objections we are now having. Even better would be to have a centralised and approved by admins list of things that have been agreed upon and need not be argued anymore.

As TheFartyDoctor said, we are not against the FP, we are for maintaining standards of editing. If we get answers readily available, we are happy. If not, we ask questions.
