Tomato check tracking
Well, I put this in the thread, but it's really hard to read it there. I thought you might like to see it at full width. This chart tells you which episodes you don't need to worry about anymore, as they've already been touched by two editors. 01:05: Tue 15 Oct 2013

Strax
Yeah, thanks for that. I was looking into it but couldn't find the info I wanted. Can you let me know Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  18:05, November 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * the forum where this was discussed. I couldn't find it or remember its name
 * if the other one, "The Doctor's Greatest Secret", also needs to be deleted?
 * Well, if my brain was working properly today I would have thought of checking the inclusion board rather than the panopticon ;)
 * Ok I updated the Strax Field Report page. If you get a chance, can you take a look and see if I put the right things in the right place? Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  18:39, November 17, 2013 (UTC)

Infobox Series
Okay, the template is open for business, but only on Doctor Who pages. Please grab a fresh copy of the blank form, and read the new instructions at. 04:26: Mon 30 Dec 2013

Another Form
When you undid my edit, you said that the dates would be included in "another form". If you don't mind me asking, how are they going to be included? Reversinator ☎  01:52, December 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * That was enough of an answer for me. Thank you very much for answering my question. Reversinator ☎  02:13, December 31, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey, thanks for responding to my concerns so quickly. I didn't get a chance to answer because I was away from the computer for several hours, and now it's too late. Anyway, happy New Year. Shambala108 ☎  23:00, January 1, 2014 (UTC)

Images
You deleted a couple of my images for reasons of "4:3 image stretched to widescreen". Could you explain to me what that means? Reversinator ☎  02:07, January 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll be blunt; I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to images short of actually uploading them. I've uploaded the two images again and linked them here (Young man and Meme, 100% unmodified (they originate from an online source but were taken personally, which doesn't seem to be against the rules), so that you know what the deleted images started from. One question, though: you said to take the screenshot "without modifying them". From what I've read in the policies, that kinda confuses me. Could you please explain to me what the heck I'm supposed to be doing? Reversinator ☎  02:56, January 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * I told you that the images were 100% unmodified, so that you would be able to make the necessary changes/comment on what I need to change. I had no plans for actually placing them in the articles, they were simply a demonstration. Also, for the young man, you cited poor lighting and poor angles as a reason for deletion, but that's the only scene he appears in, and I've gone back and checked. The lighting stays the same, and he always faces right, so it's not like we're going to get a better opportunity. At some point, we have to comply with what we're given. In any case, I'm too tired to mess around with the images, so good night, and thanks for the help. Reversinator ☎  03:52, January 4, 2014 (UTC)

The Avengers
Hi, when you wikilinked The Avengers on the Doctor Who article, you forgot one thing. is a disambiguation page. I've fixed it to point to. We don't want people thinking of Captain America instead of Emma Peel! Luckily, the wi template does support pipe switching, so while the link has been fixed, the page still looks exactly the same. Congratulations on your promotion to admin by the way, you deserve it.

Re:humans
Right, sorry about that I was actually working off of Special:UncategorizedPages which is remarkably empty for such a large wiki. I should probably look at a category before I dump something into it. --Dr. Armitage ☎  22:00, January 4, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Just a suggestion
I mostly post my replies on my talkpage and copy my posts on other people's talkpages over here for archiving reasons. I really want to have the both the first and last say in each discussion so that people won't have to bother to go to other people's talkpage archives to have a look on the entire conversation, if they actually need it.

Anyway, I did leave a message on both CzechOut and Shambala's talkpages, if that is of any sort of help. TheMostBoringManInTheWorld  (talk)  12:07, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

Edit conflict
You are probably not aware that it is my habit to create a page and save it, then add categories in the next edit. Therefore it is not necessary to dog my steps and edit immediately after me. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  05:42, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

UMD
Hi SOTO. The reason why I have been so angry about this move is because I viewed these home media pages as a replacement to the pages on the DWCW. If these pages are instead an alternative to the DWCW pages, then I shall help you and the rest of this wiki, on one condition. This condition is simple; add an "External links" section to the bottom of the default page linking to the equivalent page at the DWCW. This would be very fair as I would provide rare/clear images from the DWCW, and in turn add an "External links" section to every episode page, linking to the home media equivalent page here. Would this be acceptable?

Also this list may be of use. Lego Whovian ☎  23:08, January 26, 2014 (UTC)

Doctor Who Figurine Collection edits
Hi SOTO, just a few thoughts... as the Figurine pages hadn't been touched for a while I've just spent the evening updating it only to find that the reason I have been having trouble with understanding these tables that have been implimented were being worked on by yourself at the time. I appreciate you may tidy up recent pages but please if someone is activly working on the pages, as a matter of courtesy please let them finish or advice them of where they are going wrong. I mention this now as I've been busy preparing material to add to the wiki as well as updating/revisiting my previous contributions and (much to CzechOuts annoyance), often prepare sections at a time, off-line before adding them over. Which means I may add several pages then revisit to tidy them up at a time.
 * The table you've implemented doesn't quite work and I dont understand yet how it does work as the coding is different to what I've been using/seen before. You'll see that the links to specific issues have talk comments requesting they be removed as they add no more content to coverage than the table does. Also; the 'year=' no longer allows for a specific period (within that year to be stated), and I cant seem to get the table format to recognise the three seperate series running concurrently (regular, rare Daleks and specials).
 * As this is a potentially long running publication that seems to be evolving as it goes, I am aware that the pages may need to be broken down at a future stage, but would prefer to wait until we see how the frequency turns out of future releases.
 * What would be useful to these pages is a specific image category for 'Doctor Who: Figurine Collection cover images' (under magazines) and 'Eaglemoss Doctor Who Figurine images' (under merchandising categories). :: If you felt like helping out with adding Merchandise categories to images could I also suggest Dapol, Character Group - instead of Character Options (thereby including Character Building), BBC Worldwide, Product Enterprises, Waddington, Ravensburger, Sevans, Denys Fisher and Louis Marks. and maybe Titan under comics as they now licence holders.

Bit long winded I know, but hopefully something to think about. Thanks The Librarian  ☎  00:28, February 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Opps update as just got your message ;) Always happy to modify what Im doing if I understand it and can be a bit thick sometimes. Haven't been as strong on editing recently because I've been gathering resources and doing a bit of research on certain topics so watch out you'll probably be nagging me a bit more in the near future - or fending off my questions lol Patience please Thanks ;) The Librarian ☎  00:32, February 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi SOTO just got round to your reply re seperate pages.. putting the table issue aside for the moment (I'll get my head round that bit later, the issue of single magazine pages vs tabled contents.

If you look back on my articles you'll see a heavy leaning towards periodicals and print generally. In the majority of these pages I agree that each issue deserves its own page. Exceptionss being Doctor Who: Battles in Time and Radio Times (which I would luv to be able to include all the articles/coverage over 50 years but that would make it a site on its own lol so I just list the contents and covers!) Incidently I'm looking through the IDW comics to break them up a bit further where there is a series - so I do take your point on board. Where the Doctor Who: Figurine Collection differs I feel, is that beyond the table contents there is very little left to add to a seperate page. The regular contents take the form of regular features with a single topic that links to existing appropriate wiki articles. Release dates are always a bit of an issue with partworks with sometimes significant differences between subscribers dates and retail dates it appears even moreso with this one as it depends on model production. Splitting up the page as I mentioned and its evolution was specific not to the regular release but aimed at the two spin-offs (the Rare Dalek Collection and the Special Issues which at this stage do not have confirmed release dates and are a bit vague on numbers. With a few more releases these two could easily be split from the main article - Im just holding off on that one for the mo. Likewise a gallery page for the figurines alone is in hand as I feel that is like a seperate range of merchandise to the magazine (albeit linked by theme) but a link there could simply go back to the main page and the table (like Free gifts (Doctor Who Adventures)). Again a bit wordy but thats my thinking -let me know what you think when you get a mo :) The Librarian ☎  13:33, February 12, 2014 (UTC)
