User talk:Najawin

'''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. Shambala108 ☎  05:56, May 5, 2020 (UTC)

Block
Hi I guess you don't realize how seriously we take Tardis:Vandalism policy here. Even after I put a general warning, you continued to copy User:DiSoRiEnTeD1's comments to a place he specifically didn't want it after specifically asking you several times not to do it. You're blocked for a week, and just to avoid any future problems, please make sure you are aware of T:SOCK. Thanks Shambala108 ☎  02:21, May 21, 2020 (UTC)


 * Based on your apology and explanation on my talk page at Memory Alpha, I've unblocked you.


 * When I blocked you, I did leave you the ability to respond here on your talk page. If, God forbid, you ever get blocked again, try responding here first before trying another wiki (just so we don't bother them too much). Thanks Shambala108 ☎  02:38, May 21, 2020 (UTC)


 * Ah, apologies, had no idea. Still a little new to this, so when I saw Danochy telling him not to remove stuff and you chiming in with the same rule I just figured it was directed at him. In the future if someone asks me to not c/p their stuff, for continuity what do you suggest, just ignoring it? Or try to summarize the points so people can still follow along without directly using the words of the user who doesn't want to be attached to it? Najawin ☎  02:45, May 21, 2020 (UTC)


 * Though as I'm still actually blocked and can edit this that serves as a lovely proof of concept for if there's a next time. Najawin ☎  02:49, May 21, 2020 (UTC)
 * According to everything I see, you're unblocked. Maybe give it a little bit, then try again? If that doesn't work I'll get in touch with someone who understands technical issues.
 * And in the future you should never copy someone else's posts unless you are quoting them, including their name, and preferably citing back to the original page. Don't just copy paste as if the other user is making the post themselves. Shambala108 ☎  02:52, May 21, 2020 (UTC)
 * Gotcha. So would:

 * be an okay format for if I'm trying to move a conversation for continuity? I'm just trying not to step on anyone's toes here.Najawin ☎  02:56, May 21, 2020 (UTC)

TARDIS Eruditorum
Hiya, I saw your edit summary on TARDIS Eruditorum. Just a reminder that exists should you want to perfect it before anybody else inadvertently messes up your work. Happy editing, --Borisashton ☎  19:48, June 2, 2020 (UTC)

Re
"Awful" and "unreasonable", is that it? Duly noted. Shambala108 ☎  02:49, June 10, 2020 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thank You! I am still new to the wiki and am still in the process of adjusting. I accidentally erased the message user Laura had left as I'm not used to the wiki format. Thank you for undoing my "idiotic" mistake!
 * (I will note for any admins reading this as I know I can be somewhat direct in the forums that "idiotic" was their word, not mine. Just for my peace of mind in case this comes up.) Najawin ☎  06:18, June 13, 2020 (UTC)

Hexagora and Eddy Currents
Hi user Najawin! Would you mind creating an article on "Eddy Currents" as they are mentioned in the story Hexagora (audio story) or linking to the official wikipedia page on Eddy currents and updating the audio story wiki page? Thank you very much! DoctorQuoi ☎  21:59, June 13, 2020 (UTC)DoctorQuoi

RE: Forum
Hey Najawin, I see it, thank you very much! Thanks for catching my comment to Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived. It seems so obvious but I keep forgetting where everything is! I'm a bit of a slow person when it comes to figuring these things out, and given the strict policy for editing articles, I'm just being very cautious. I will go and ask the forum now.

Re: Original Mammoths
I see what you mean, but I'm pretty damn sure of this one; he owns the Original Mammoths in the same way that Penswick owns "the Yssgaroth", if you will. Beyond my own private contacts with him (hint, hint), we have an already-released, outright source for this — the fact that Arcbeatle licensed them from him for White Canvas. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  09:07, June 21, 2020 (UTC)
 * Right! FWIW I don't believe Miles owns them anymore — I could be wrong, but it is my understanding that he genuinely sold the rights to the whole FP shebang to Obverse. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  09:23, June 21, 2020 (UTC)

Forum posts
Hi I don't really know how to make this any clearer, and you are definitely not the only one who does this, but you must stop interpreting other people's comments. If you have a question about what someone said, ask directly (either in the forum or on their talk page if it's off-topic). But please stop assigning meaning to people's comments. Maybe you don't realize that our forums attract a lot of new users who don't know policy, and there's no way to tell on a forum who is/isn't an admin; and the last thing we need is for new users to misunderstand something said in the forums, take it as policy, and edit accordingly. Thanks Shambala108 ☎  17:03, July 9, 2020 (UTC)

Assume Good Faith
Please do not accuse me of having not read a page, if you think I have made a mistake educate me - do not bluntly state that I should "actually read the page". This does not require a reply. Thank you. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎  01:40, July 22, 2020 (UTC)

1.2 Formatting
Okay, but... if an article is going to be updated anyway to reflect information that comes from content being released, then keeping an article of something that's not been released yet in the past tense feels like an awfully lazy way of taking that approach. This is literally the only wiki I've seen that does that, and the editing base of this wiki isn't that small. It would be more conducive to put in a template on an article of yet-to-be-released content saying "this thing isn't out yet" or "this is about material that has not been released" so it can be removed and the article accordingly updated than to have a completely ridiculous looking "this was released in August of 2043." --TenCents (talk to me!) 21:00, July 24, 2020 (UTC)


 * And I'm noticing there's nothing on that article that indicates anything about material yet-to-be-released. It's mostly about describing actors and stuff written in the present tense. Applying past tense to something that isn't even out yet isn't something that's touched on there. --TenCents (talk to me!) 21:08, July 24, 2020 (UTC)

Re:TLV/Edge of Time
It works the other way around. We don't add the speculation that there's a connection and only remove it if it proves not to be true. We keep it out because it's unconfirmed and only add it if it does prove to be true. The sequels and the tie-in content are mentioned in two different contexts in the news item. Claiming a connection without confirmation is unsupported. Wiki content is meant to be verified, not speculative, which means it's better to not include things that may/will later be confirmed than to include things that are unconfirmed and may prove false. -- Noneofyourbusiness ☎  23:32, July 27, 2020 (UTC)
