"Proper" wiki Merges
As an aside, things like Border Princess and Border Princes should be merged properly in order to merge the histories into one place. Have you ever done this before? If not, the process is as follows:
 * 1) manually copy the information from the destination to the source article.
 * 2) delete the destination article
 * 3) move the source article to the destination (this creates the redirect too)
 * 4) undelete all deleted revisions of the page

And voila... you're done. You have all of the history from every instance of the article in one location. :) -- Sulfur 15:58, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Character Toys
Hi, just to let you know since you did the last direct, I think, the page leading to the range of figures is headed Character Group. Well I didn't find it at first, because it is more widely known (in the UK at least), as Character Options (which is a part of Character Group PLC. - a toy and gift company established in Lees. near Manchester in 1991.) It was Character Options that secured the 'Master Toy Licence' from BBC Worldwide in 2005 for the TV series. Most reviews I've read and the packaging, as well as Howes Toybox guides refer to products

from Character Options. Theres loads more merchandising links to this company so I didn't know if you wanted to rehead the page. Incidentally just got their interactive Dalek! Soooooooo Cool! The only drawback I've found is the signals conflict if you've got more than one roaming about and they appear to become disobedient, not doing what their told, like naughty children! (Maybe thats where Davros went wrong?!) Ill stop now. The Librarian 01:11, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Myths and rumours
I think it should be case-by-case. I think "rumours" is appropriate if the information given is in fact about rumours that were contemporary with the original broadcast, especially if said rumours were dispelled. A myth is more along the lines of "A munchkin can be seen hanging in the background of a scene in the Wizard of Oz". I don't think every article needs to have the header changed, however if the content of the section sparks the same reaction that I saw which inspired the original discussion -- someone removed some information because "it's a rumor, not a myth" then the header should be changed accordingly. Another important distinction is that rumours are, by their nature, more difficult to source. A myth is in theory easier to find a source for; for example, the myth that Hartnell quit because of the onset of Multiple sclerosis. 23skidoo 14:53, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Admins
Thanks for contacting me about the discussion regarding adminship and removal for inactive admins, it was thoughtful to contact the admins on the active admin list however as I think i mentioned somewhere I only very loosly count as an active admin, not contributing much, but am still contactable which may be the same as some of the admins on the inactive list, so i think if something important comes up it would be at least courteous to give the inactive admins a chance to know whats going on (probably be me soon, and I'd like to be able to help if needed :) ), but yeah I'm just writing to say, well thanks.--GingerM 20:22, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Page move request
I've been working on sorting out the novelisations and novellas pages, in particular adding them to years categories and such. I've also fixed some titling errors along the way. Unfortunately there's one move I can't do because I lack admin ability. The Telos article Eye of the Tyger should be moved to The Eye of the Tyger to reflect the actual title of the book, however the latter title already exists as a redirect back to the incorrect title without the "The" and the system won't let me move it back. Could you please execute the move for me? I'll have set up the categories, etc. to reflect the addition of the "The". Thanks! 23skidoo 23:18, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Related to the above I just added a PROD tag to a category I created called "Non-canonical novels" - I wasn't aware there was already a Non-canonical stories category that covered the same material. 23skidoo 23:25, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk Page Messages
Hello i was just wondering why everyone on this wiki (especially admins) seem to remove old messages instead of archiving them so they can be referred to later like they on other wiki's again this may just be something that differs from wiki to wiki that i have to get used to (such as the absent admins thing) so i just thought id ask before i coursed a fuss like last time :) --Dark Lord Xander 08:29, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
