User talk:Vincent VG

'''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

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. Doug86 ☎  23:40, September 21, 2013 (UTC)

Images
Hi! I appreciate your attempts to fill out some of the crew pages, but all of your images had to be deleted because you had not put a license on any of them. All images uploaded to this wiki must have a license. In addition, at least one of your images was very fuzzy; we would rather have no image on an article than a low quality one. Please take some time to read our image policies, which are conveniently located at Thread:148148. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  14:22, March 5, 2014 (UTC)

Block
Hi! Since you have continued to add images with no licenses, I've had to block you for six hours to give you a chance to read the above mentioned image policies. Please take this time to read the image policies. This block is mostly a way to get your attention, and it will expire in 6 hours. Shambala108 ☎  18:20, March 5, 2014 (UTC)

Images revisited
As I have said twice before, please read through all of our image policies, which are located at Thread:148148. Once again I have had to spend a lot of time deleting your images and cleaning up your edits.

Per our image policies, users are only allowed to upload 3 user images; you uploaded several. In addition, user images are not allowed anywhere except on user pages. I don't know if you added the wrong license, or just didn't bother to read the policies, but I suggest you do so before uploading any more images. Thanks.

Images
When you upload images to the wiki, you must add a category, not just the license. Usually you can add a category for the story name, for example, Category:The Web of Fear TV story images. Also, images must fit widescreen dimensions, so you need to crop them that way. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  23:22, July 20, 2016 (UTC)


 * Since you have a history (as seen on your talk page) of failing to follow image policies without a little push, I'm blocking you for a week. Please be sure to read our image policies, which you can find listed at Thread:148148, before you upload any more images. Shambala108 ☎  23:14, July 21, 2016 (UTC)

Image names
Be careful when naming images you upload. You can only use an existing name if the image is basically the same as the original name. The image you uploaded of Frazier Hines was substantially different from the original. Therefore, I reverted the image to the original, deleting yours.

If you're going to use such a basic name for an image, do a search first to make sure there are no existing files with the same name. You can re-upload the Frazier Hines image with a new name, such as FrazierHines2 or something like that. Shambala108 ☎  14:32, October 5, 2016 (UTC)

Infobox images
Please stop adding "|thumb" after images on infoboxes. It does nothing. I just removed the last 189 instances of that with my bot.

On a good note, though, that is a lot of new infobox images, if that's all you. Thanks for your contributions. 03:23, October 28, 2016 (UTC)

Block
Since I've had to delete about twenty-five images you uploaded in the last couple of days, and there were at least four different violations, and you've had six messages on your talk page asking you to read our image policies, I'm blocking you for a month. That should give you time to read through all the policies which you can find conveniently located at Thread:148148. Shambala108 ☎  02:29, November 1, 2016 (UTC)

Congrats and cast notes
First off, congratulations on getting over 2k edits.

Secondly, I've noticed you've been doing a lot of work on cast lists for the classic series. I have a small ask in this respect. And I apologise that I only noticed it now. But I still hope it would be nothing compared with the original research that must have gone into that. I would ask you to help uphold the exact distinction between recurring and guest casts.

Take, for instance, Season 2. The Monk here is a recurring character because he returns in Season 3 in TV: The Daleks' Master Plan. Similarly, Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart is recurring in Season 5 (and all consecutive seasons he occurs) but Bret Vyon is not recurring in Season 3. Further, it might be less obvious but William Shakespeare in Season 2 is recurring due to TV: The Shakespeare Code, and so is Elizabeth I.

Since you're now fresh from all these lists, I would appreciate it if you could make the necessary modifications. Amorkuz ☎  23:54, May 30, 2017 (UTC)

vandalism
Hi, please don't encourage vandalism by replying to it. Instead, let an admin know about it. Thanks, Shambala108 ☎  05:55, August 28, 2017 (UTC)

Categories
Hi, please note that when you create a page, you must add at least one category to it. Don't just create a bunch of pages and leave it for someone else to clean up after you. Thanks, Shambala108 ☎  14:26, September 8, 2017 (UTC)

Question
Why have you been removing the "Jane" from articles with Sarah Jane in?BananaClownMan ☎  18:55, September 18, 2017 (UTC)
