User talk:Paulmorris7777

'''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

Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this: ~ ~ ~ ~

Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask on my talk page. Tangerineduel ☎  13:12, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

Can We Stop This Edit War
Can we stop the edit war as an article is not to the place to voice your opinion please go to the forum section of this wiki. Adric♥Nyssa∩Talk? 16:04, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

Black Archive
Hi! You are probably wondering why so many editors on this wiki are undoing your edits regarding past companions and the Black Archive. The problem with your edits is the tense you used. Please see Tardis:Point of view and Tardis:In-universe perspective for the full explanation, but in short, in-universe pages always require the past tense. In the future, if you see repeated reversions of your edits, please ask an admin (you can find a list of current admins at Tardis:Administrators), because there might be a good reason for the reversions. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  16:06, July 10, 2016 (UTC)
 * Also, apologies for the double post. As I was writing mine, I did not realize that User:AdricLovesNyssa had already posted a message here. Adding to his/her post, if you disagree with what we have written on multiple articles, you can start a forum thread at Board:The Panopticon to address the issue and start a discussion. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  16:10, July 10, 2016 (UTC)

I'm blocking from editing for an hour because your edits violate policy of the wiki, and you haven't read my instructions on your talk page. Please take some time to do so, and also, please browse some in-universe pages (the companion pages will do) so you can see how to write in-universe articles.

It so happens that your points are right, it's just your method that is mistaken. If you disagree with a fact on a page, bring it up on the article's talk page. If the problem runs across several pages, like this one, then you can bring up a point at a forum post, as I've already posted here on your talk page. Never put comments like "this isn't true" or "this isn't a fact" on an article page.

I don't have time to deal with this issue right now, but I will address it later in the day. Thanks for your patience. Shambala108 ☎  17:14, July 10, 2016 (UTC)


 * I've had to block you for a day for removing content from pages when a forum discussion is under way (which discussion you started). The pages in question have had the Black Archive material up for a long time; there is no rush to settle this matter right now while I wait for confirmation on the forum page about the information.


 * Also, keep in mind that adding or removing content from pages is not considered a minor edit; please see Tardis:Edit summary. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  20:29, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

Ok, a response has been left at Thread:195965 that allows me to make a decision on this issue. The info already on the article pages is valid by the rules of this wiki. Please note: No matter how much a plot hole or discontinuity this info might seem, this wiki is not trying to solve/remove plot holes from the DWU. If you are interested in discussing this issue as a plot hole, you can do so at Theory:Discontinuity index.
 * Tardis:Neutral point of view says that we treat all stories equally, no matter the medium
 * Tardis:Valid sources says that we only use stories as sources for in universe pages.

In the meantime, I have removed your block, and you are free to edit the wiki. However, I want to stress that you are not to remove the Black Archive info from any of the companion pages, as by our rules the info is valid. Thanks for your patience! Shambala108 ☎  21:10, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

Spoiler policy violation
Hi! You have by now twice added (in the discontinuity hub) links to episodes that have not been aired yet. Both edits violated our Tardis:Spoiler policy, of which you have been informed twice. The first warning about the spoiler policy with a link to it can be found above this message on your talk page. It is boldfaced to bring it to your attention and says: you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. In addition, after your first offending edit in the discontinuity edit, I posted a link to the spoiler policy as the explanation why your edit had to be undone. In addition, given your interest in the discontinuity index, I think it is safe to assume you visited at least one of the subpages. They all contain the following disclaimer in large font at the very top: You are exploring the discontinuity index, a place where any details or rumours about unreleased stories are forbidden.

Please be advised that spoilers within the meaning of T:SPOIL are not tolerated on this wiki. In rare cases when all other methods of preventing the introduction of spoilers fail, a block is used. Amorkuz ☎  12:11, May 12, 2017 (UTC)

Jeez! The episode is on tomorrow, and everybody knows the episode titles for the rest of the series.

Sorry, no one told me to sign anything! Jeez!


 * Well, that's what I'm trying to do. There are many policies, and everyone breaks some of them at first. Because most people, me included, are at first coming here to edit, not to read policies.


 * Please don't take this personally. You just happened to bump into one of the more important policies, which got you immediate attention. Twice. I know it's not fun to read a lecture. The simplest way to avoid it is to understand why your edits were undone in the first place. I left a link to the relevant policy the first time around. It is also a good idea to check relevant talk pages. There is often an ongoing discussion that your edits might have cut across (this is a tip for the future).


 * After awhile, you will see for yourself that most of these policies are there for a reason. Until then, just remember that thinking a policy is unreasonable will not cancel it. The best response is to ask the other editor why. The worst response is to undo their edits in return. That's edit wars, and the relevant policy is called T:NO WARS.


 * Regarding signing, it's very easy to do, just by typing ~ . Without it, it is very hard to read long discussions, not knowing where one post ends and the next begins.


 * It is also a custom here to respond to the talk page of your correspondent instead of your own. About their own talk page They will surely get notified. We should not assume, on the other hand, that somebody is following our talk page.


 * Now for the spoilers. Let me, as a sign of good will, explain why they are bad (beyond the obvious argument of many people not liking spoilers). In short, because cleaning up is a hard and thankless job that the admins will have to do and because the episode's name (or anything inside really) is not fixed until it's broadcast. If a red link is created, people will create the page. If a page is created with a wrong title, people will start linking to it.And changing the wrong title requires changing all the links to it, moving the page, changing the corresponding image categories, lists of appearances, etc., etc., etc. You say we know the title. But do you know how it is capitalised, how it's stylised? Do you know if there are punctuation marks at the end? Let alone the possibility that the title is simply fake. For instance, the first episode of Invasion of the Dinosaurs was called simply Invasion, and all the promotional materials called it Invasion, precisely to avoid spoilers and keep the appearance of dinosaurs a surprise.


 * To summarise, we are not willing to risk our time on the altar of somebody wishing to have a link one day earlier than it can reasonably be used. There is currently no discontinuity to talk about. There is really zero rationale to have this link created now. It might seem harmless to you, but it will be the admins who would have to fix it if it's broke.


 * I wish you to take a Deep Breath, to Smile and to remember that this is The Friendly Place. Amorkuz ☎  22:55, May 12, 2017 (UTC)

Removing text
Perhaps, inadvertently, this edit removed text. Amorkuz ☎  13:29, May 14, 2017 (UTC)

I haven't removed anything!


 * It may have been an accident, but the fact remains that somebody else's text was removed as a result of your edit. There's no point denying facts nor getting upset. If you did not intend to remove anything, just say so. The point of me confirming the removal is not to blame you but to point this out so that next time you are more careful while editing. Please check the link I provided above and try to think back how it could have happened. Amorkuz ☎  14:11, May 14, 2017 (UTC)

I have't accidently removed anything! You are obviously blaming me. What did I allegedly remove?


 * Please, click the following link before replying: Special:Diff/2256410. Amorkuz ☎  14:18, May 14, 2017 (UTC)

As I keep saying, I haven't removed anything.


 * You did, from the discontinuity page. I respect that it may have been accidental, hence why I put it back. Also, please sign your comments with four "~" so we know it's you. Snivystorm ☎  15:31, May 14, 2017 (UTC)

No I did not! I didn't do anything accidental.


 * I'm gonna leave the admin to finish this off. Snivystorm ☎  15:53, May 14, 2017 (UTC)


 * What happened to my edit for Empress of Mars? It's been deleted!

Paulmorris7777 ☎  18:59, June 11, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hello, hello. Anyone there? Seems to be a lack of urgency with my query! You were quick enough to accuse me of text removal! Paulmorris7777 ☎  20:00, June 12, 2017 (UTC)

Signature policy
Please be advised that per T:SIG WHEN, users are required to sign their posts on all talk pages, including their own talk page. It should be noted that simply writing your username is insufficient. Per T:SIG HOW, the signature must contain easily separable clickable links to the user page and to the user talk page. The easiest way of complying with this policy is to finish your posts with ~. You are free, however, to achieve the same result by other technical means. Thank you for your attention. Amorkuz ☎  20:01, May 14, 2017 (UTC)

As long as you stop accusing me of something, I wont be signing anything, anyway. Which oddly, by the way, my name come up even if I don't sign it, as it says "unsigned by paulmorris7777" Rather pointless!!!


 * Since you have indicated an unwillingness to follow a standard rule of the wiki -- adding your signature to your posts in talk page threads -- you are now deemed to be editing a way that is deliberately disruptive to the wiki. You seem to be editing so as to prove the point that you don't need to sign your posts.


 * You absolutely do.


 * These "unsigned by paulmorris7777" messages aren't appearing by magic. Someone has to clean up behind you and add the template because you've refused to sign. I'm not about to let people continue to waste their time like that just because you refuse to add ~ at the end of your posts.


 * Additionally, you claim above that you didn't remove text from a Discontinuity article, in spite of clear evidence to the contrary. Shambala108 already blocked you for this, so you know you shouldn't be doing it.


 * I now have little choice but to block you again, as much as I don't want to. This time, I have to increase the time from Shambala's original block, so you're going to be unable to edit the wiki for a week. Hopefully, that'll give you some time to  familiarise yourself a little better with our policies. After that time, you will of course be welcomed back.  23:05: Sun 14 May 2017

Empress of Mars lost edits
Could you please provide a link to the page where the edit was lost? I couldn't find your edits at Empress of Mars. Amorkuz ☎  20:22, June 12, 2017 (UTC)

I am so sorry, I was in a rush not to sign Paulmorris7777 ☎  16:26, June 14, 2017 (UTC)

You have deleted The Empress of Mars, which would suggest that you DID receive the link. You are clearly a pathological liar! I did create "The Empress of Mars", and it was deleted by You! Here is the link! http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Theory:Doctor_Who_television_discontinuity_and_plot_holes/The_Empress_of_Mars

Paulmorris7777 ☎  16:26, June 14, 2017 (UTC)

Deleted comments again
I'm sorry but in order for me to answer your question you really need to provide a link to the page where comments were deleted. You say that you've created a page The Empress of Mars, but autosuggest yields nothing, and the link is red. You say that you've changed this page to Empress of Mars, by which you must mean Empress of Mars (TV story), but that page has been created by the admin SOTO because episode pages are locked from creation by regular users. In addition, regular users are not allowed to change (i.e., move or rename) pages here on the wiki. I had asked for the link before and have not received an answer. I'm sorry but I cannot help you if you do not explain where the problem is. (Also you did not sign your last message to me.) Amorkuz ☎  13:30, June 14, 2017 (UTC)

This is the only proof I have. http://tardis.wikia.com/index.php?title=Theory%3ADoctor_Who_television_discontinuity_and_plot_holes&diff=2348141&oldid=2347156 I don't care or know why it is in red. It did exist. Also look at this - http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Theory:Doctor_Who_television_discontinuity_and_plot_holes?diff=prev&oldid=2347156 Created on June 10th, by me! Answer this question - Who created The Empress of Mars ? You say that regular users are NOT allowed to change (i.e., move or rename) pages here on the wiki. But, it can be done! I even got told off for adding stories that hadn't been broadcast yet. Paulmorris7777 ☎  11:54, June 16, 2017 (UTC)
