User talk:Xx-connor-xX

'''Welcome to the Thanks for your edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki, so let's get them out of the way first. British English, please We generally use British English round these parts, so if you're American, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card. Spoilers aren't cool We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details. Other useful stuff Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:
 * the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
 * our Manual of Style
 * our image use policy
 * our user page policy
 * a list of people whose job it is to help you

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial

Kamishi, Tengobushi, Sanukuma, or Nothing Is Easy
Hi, I'm sorry to be working over you. Believe me, I know how it sometimes feel. But, as typical of Doctor Who, nothing is easy or is what it seems.

I do not know if you've listened to The Diary of River Song, Series 1. It is closely connected to what I'm gonna say. Both box sets feature the same species of all-powerful beings from the beginning of time. As they are a big reveal every time, they are not present in any promotional materials so far.

It happened with the Diary that Sanukuma were taken to be a species (you can read my comments on the talk page there). But they are just one of the castes of Kamishi. Similarly, Tengobushi is another caste. A third caste is mentioned by name in one of the stories of Shutdown, but no information was provided about it. Kamishi are said to have a complicated hierarchy of castes and chapters. So we cannot assume anything. My main message to you is: this is not simple. I myself am not editing these pages (other than correcting mistakes) for two reasons: I need to relisten to make sure that my edits are correct. This is all intricate stuff. Secondly, the spelling of Kamishi has never been confirmed by the production team. I'm still hoping they will do it. This is the reason why the page Kamishi has not been created yet: it could be Camishi.

Anyway, I wish you all the luck, am sorry if my edits made you feel bad. But things on this Wiki should at least be correct. God knows, they are incomplete. But correctness is the minimum I strive for. Amorkuz ☎  23:27, July 10, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm glad I haven't ruffled your feathers earlier. I'm sorry to say that you've created some extra work for me though, work I would have preferred to do at the time of my choosing rather than now. I'm sure you didn't mean it, so let me try to explain what happened to avoid such clashes in the future.


 * Disclaimer, I am not an admin, so this is my personal complaint rather than an official reprimand. If you feel that I'm being unfair, you can always ask an admin to check it out.


 * You had an alternative proposal from mine, which is totally fine, and I would be happy to work together with you. But you acted on your proposal before waiting for my response. While creating new pages is generally a good idea, it would be good if this really helps other editors without creating extra work for them. In this case, Sanukuma had all the info on Kamishi from the Diary, not on Sanukuma. In other words, the information on Sanukuma was missing and the information on Kamishi from UNIT was missing. After you created a page for Kamishi, information on Sanukuma is still missing on the Sanukuma page, information from Kamishi from the UNIT is still missing. But, in addition, information about Kamishi from the Diary is missing on the Kamishi page. So, in a sense, this created more work. And this is why I complain. Note also that the talk page of Sanukuma and the history of changes to Sanukuma, which both were always more about Kamishi than Sanukuma, will not now be ported to the page about Kamishi. This is one of the reasons why I thought moving Sanukuma to Kamishi was the best choice. Again, I may have been wrong, and would have been happy to discuss this with you, if you only waited for my response.


 * Just to let you know, another situation where creating a new page without listening to the audio may create extra work for other users, including admins, is when the online cast only mentions one name of a character but the audio provides his/her full name, first and last. T:CHAR NAMES states that the page should be named by the first and last name, and moves are only allowed by admins. I can cite several examples from the new series Bex was created and then was moved to Rebecca Young, Kevin (Technophobia) was created and then moved to Kevin Jones based on the text of the audio. This involves changing all the links to the old page, after which an admin has to move the page, which is a work that can be avoided easily by listening to the audio.


 * Thus, I would appreciate it if, in the future, in case another editor is clearly involved in something you're planning to edit, to try and ask for their opinion first instead of acting unilaterally. It helps avoid conflicts. Plus I've been humbled many times when other more experienced editors explained to me their reasoning. It is truly my experience on this Wiki that people mostly do things for a reason. If we do not understand this reason, it always pays to ask before acting. Amorkuz ☎  09:55, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

Editing on this wiki
Hi! I feel like I need to make two things clear to you. Please review the policies listed above before you create any more pages. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  13:53, July 11, 2016 (UTC)
 * It is not the job of anyone on this wiki to have to clean up after other users. If you want to add content or make new pages on this wiki, you must learn our policies. Two admins have given you some important ones dealing with creating pages. In addition, another way to learn how to edit here is to browse several different pages to see how things are done. Keep in mind that it is much easier to delete someone's work than to clean up after multiple page violations, and continued ignoring of policies can result in your work being deleted.
 * I can't quite tell from your conversation with User:Amorkuz if this is the case, but if you haven't read/watched/listened to a story, you should not be creating pages relating to it. For in universe pages, the only sources we allow are the stories themselves, and if you don't know the story, you can't correctly create/edit pages relating to it.

Spoiler policy
Hi! Please make sure you thoroughly read Tardis:Spoiler policy and don't post spoilers anywhere, even the discussion boards. Shambala108 ☎  01:48, December 6, 2016 (UTC)

Image licenses
Please note that all images uploaded to the wiki must have a license, or they will be deleted. You can select a license from the dropdown list when uploading. 23:09, December 7, 2016 (UTC)

Nocturne hosts
Hi, first of all, I've been setting this guy to be renamed into King Nocturne for some time now. Better than a dab term. Secondly, I would think that your new category supersedes Category:Human hosts, which now needs to be removed from the hosts' pages. Wouldn't you agree? Amorkuz ☎  07:45, December 29, 2016 (UTC)

Same questions over and over and over again
I just need speculation (opinions & theories); not facts (fact checking). Doctor 25 ☎  21:35, December 29, 2016 (UTC)

Not trolling
I'm not a troll. I just need opinions and theories/speculation; not fact checking/facts. Doctor 25 ☎  16:20, January 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * You ask the same questions again and again and again, and never have I seen you ask a question which wasn't obvious/up for interpretation. Xx-connor-xX ☎  16:23, January 7, 2017 (UTC)

I'm just asking them in a different category to get better answers. Doctor 25 ☎  18:37, January 7, 2017 (UTC)

I'm 20 years old. Doctor 25 ☎  09:55, January 9, 2017 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hi! Please do not post anything that might be a spoiler in your edit summaries. Please review Tardis:Spoiler policy and Tardis:Edit summary. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  21:28, April 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Huge mistake! Wasn't thinking, won't happen again. Xx-connor-xX ☎  22:30, April 6, 2017 (UTC)

Spoilers in Discussions
Hi, I've noticed that you often discuss the yet unreleased episodes of the show in Discussions. The most recent post I had to delete presented an episode-by-episode timeline of the Master and included the season finale into it, complete with the title of the episode. Given that this is not the first time you're violating T:SPOIL there, please be aware that, to allow everyone else to enjoy the season finale unperturbed, I will be forced to block you in case of any further violations. We cannot compromise the comfort of our readers for one editor. You would do good to reread the spoiler policy as well as Discussions guidelines, which explicitly state: you should NOT talk about stories, in any medium, which haven't been officially released yet. If you need to discuss the upcoming episode, please do it at the Howling. Amorkuz ☎  17:33, June 29, 2017 (UTC)
 * I really don't understand this at all? Nothing I posted in that one incident was a spoiler at all, except possibly the title of the final episode which I didn't know was a spoiler, just my personal opinion/theory which I labeled it as! If the only thing that was wrong was me posting the title of the episode then that is what you should have commented on instead of attempting to exasperate the situation! Also, I'd be interested to see a few more examples of my rule breaks - as nothing I've posted in months and months have been removed/commented on. Xx-connor-xX ☎  19:37, June 29, 2017 (UTC)
 * Could you please explain which part of you should NOT talk about stories, in any medium, which haven't been officially released yet is unclear to you? Please note the emphasis. I see at the top of the Discussions page two posts by you that have "final" in the title of the post. You regularly "talk" about the yet unreleased season finale. So there is little surprise that in your constant discussions of it you crossed the line and could have seriously spoiled the season finale for unsuspecting readers. Please do not mistake the absence of punitive measures for an an implicit confirmation of rule compliance of your posts. T:SPOIL, which governs the Discussions too, clearly defines a spoiler as "Any information about an unbroadcast or unreleased story". You would note that both the Discussions Guidelines and the spoiler policy make absolutely no exceptions, period.
 * My goal was not to punish you. My goal was to ensure people can enjoy the unspoiled season finale. The title of it is not just a spoiler, it is a whale of a spoiler. Just because you've known it for quite some time makes you forget just how big of a spoiler that is. The fact that in this particular post, the title was hidden deep inside and could have hijacked an unsuspecting reader makes it even worse.
 * You have been warned about the spoiler policy before, twice. One of those times you were explicitly asked not to post spoilers on Discussion boards. Since after these two incidents, when the policy was pointed out to you, you still claim that you did not know the title of an episode is a spoiler, it is clear that you cannot be relied on for following the policy yourself. You will be blocked until it is safe to discuss the season finale without risking to adversely affect other readers. Amorkuz ☎  06:44, June 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * Absolutely disgraceful conduct! Speculating about episodes that have not aired yet is not a spoiler it is speculation! I made sure to not include anything I'd seen in the trailers etc. The only thing I believe I have done wrong is post the episode title. Xx-connor-xX ☎  09:29, June 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * After reading T:SPOIL three times you still missed the following portion of it:
 * What, then, do we do with information that comes from a reputable source like the BBC itself? We use it only on the series page. It cannot be used elsewhere. The three biggest types of "official" info are story titles, casting information, and the odd leak of in-universe information.
 * I'm glad you finally realised that you had violated the policy. But you had to know this after your first warning. Repeated violations of the spoiler policy after the first warning will not be tolerated whether your comprehension of the policy is complete or not. It is your responsibility to know the policies and abide by them. You would do well to finally learn the policy in its entirety. That is the best way of avoiding such incidents in the future. Amorkuz ☎  11:52, June 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you've admitted to exasperating the situation. Sill confused as to why my bad if for so long. Xx-connor-xX ☎  12:51, June 30, 2017 (UTC)
