User talk:Monkey with a Gun

I spend way too much time on this Wiki. Sigh. Monkey with a Gun 05:11, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

I think all of us do Monkey but It's worth it I reckon Bigshowbower 05:13, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: Historical v. Futuristic?
Good point. Plus there's lots and lots of other science fiction stories set in the future or in outer space or both. It's such a cliché! DW is the only science fiction series to regularly set episodes in the past. It's part of what makes it unique! solar penguin/(talk)/(contribs) 11:20, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Merak
The reason I listed "human" as a race for Merak was that when the Doctor was talking to the Black Guardian he referred to Astra as "a human being." He might have been using it as a generic term, though, so maybe near-human would be better. mithrel

Real world stub
Hi, I appreciate the addition of the real world stubs to the various article pages, but it actually makes the articles harder to find as it adds a category to them. A lot of the time these pages just need the ext links and category (most often either Doctor Who/Torchwood or The Sarah Jane Adventures guest actors category). When they don't have a category the pages sit in the Special:UncategorizedPages which makes them easier to fix and clear out, while if they're all in the 'real world stub' category they're harder to differentiate from those pages that have other stub related issues or those lacking a category. (Hope that makes sense). Thanks. --Tangerineduel 13:34, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Page move
Thanks! I might be the only person in Western Canada with a copy of that Big Finish, so I'll be adding some stuff to it after I've listened to it. 23skidoo 18:22, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Another move needed
Sorry to trouble you again, but if you have a moment, could you please move A Room with a Deja View to Room with a Deja View. It's the new IDW Comics standalone and someone created it under the wrong title. Thanks again! 23skidoo 04:31, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't realize that! I'm used to the way things were at Wikipedia where you had to be an admin (as I am there) to do page moves. That certainly makes things simpler! Thanks for pointing that out -- I'll remember that in future. Cheers! 23skidoo 12:36, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Images
Hey, when you are uploading images to articles make sure you edit the images to the standard size of 250px. Thanks Bigshowbower 06:44, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Spelling mistakes (sorry...'typos')!
Hi! Thanks for the smoke! I do get tired and carried away sometimes not the best combination I know! If I do come across spelling errors on source material I would usually point them out, so no worries there. Americanwhofan seems to chasing me on picking up errors and leaving little notes under comments when I wish he would just change them for me when its obvious. I cant let him know this, apart from following him in discussion pages because he hasnt got a userpage, and Im not sure about deleting the discussion bit after Ive corrected it. Any ideas? Thanks by the way! The Librarian 00:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

question about a recent edit
Why did you remove "They were also used on New Earth in Gridlock ." from the article Credit. Americanwhofan 09:47, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Prop deletes to images
Hey, the prop delete can be added to image pages the same as regular pages. Adding it just makes admins a little more aware than just a note on the talk page. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 12:48, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

eeerrrmmm..... why have you vandalised the wiki? Oh right.... sorry Lu-igi board ps, using three tidels is better. look, no date :p
 * Dunno why you wouldn't want to have a date; the very point of the signature is that it gives a date. But that's not what I'm here to talk about.   Czech Out   ☎ | ✍  17:31, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Template:Merge
I certainly wouldn't suggest that the pic I've put there temporarily is the only thing that could be used, but I really don't like the idea of the meta-crisis Doctor being present at all. He's the opposite of a merger, really. Well, when put next to the real Tenth Doctor, anyway. They aren't the same thing at all, really. I might possibly buy an image of Donna and Meta during the moment of transformation, but even that's pretty obscure. The image that's there now clearly shows the act of merging. It's possible that the better thing is just to get rid of pics altogether with these templates, anyway. Sometimes, as in this case, they actually just make the box bigger and fatter than it needs to be. It'd probably be cleaner to go for something altogether more subtle, like a transparency of some kind, if there has to be a pic at all.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  17:31, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I played around with Mawdryn Undead, but the problem, for me, is that the sets are so damned busy in that episode that they drown out the point of the photograph at 50px. Instead, I've gone more Warrior's Gate, and done a quick transparency.  I think it now instantly says "merger".  You don't have to be a major Doctor Who fan to "get" it, but if you are, then you might be rewarded by noticing the Warrior's Gate tie-in.   Czech Out   ☎ | ✍  22:02, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
