User talk:WaltK

'''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

 * My apologies. The issue is I do not know how resize images accordingly... WaltK ☎  19:31, April 3, 2020 (UTC)

Thank you!
Hey, sorry to bother, but I just wanted to thank you for your remarkable work in making Queer representation in Doctor Who an actually good page!! I know you did most of that months ago, but still... good to have that stuff on the wiki. :) CoT     ?  17:54, May 27, 2020 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the late response, but thank you! WaltK ☎  20:35, July 7, 2020 (UTC)

Daft Dimension image
Ah, sorry about the colours. But that's actually my own scan, not any variation of yours. If you can use your own file and yield a version that's 1) widescreen rather than 'tall', and 2) 420px or larger without being grainy, by all means replace my replacement. This was really just a rushed job so that the file wouldn't have to be deleted altogether (which is always messy). --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  18:30, May 27, 2020 (UTC)

Doctor Whoah!
Hi there, I saw your post on Talk:Doctor Whoah!. I have access to all the Doctor Whoah! strips via their DWM issues. I don't really want to start another big project so soon (as I'm about to conclude work on documenting Doctor Who?) but what I will do is slowly add to the table at Doctor Whoah! which will give you half a clue for most of them about which stories correspond to which issues. Does that sound alright? Feel free to contact me if it is still ambiguous from who features in them.

I see you have coverage of The Daft Dimension to be getting on with in the mean time, anyway. Good work on that so far by the way! Best regards, --Borisashton ☎  23:53, May 30, 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I’ve actually mostly reached my limit with my Daft Dimension coverage for now, having covered nearly all the ones I have access to. But I'm definitely raring to go on Doctor Whoah! with my trusty compilation book at the ready. Cheers for making it just that little bit easier with the table! Much appreciated!

Timeline discussions
Hi, since theory talk pages don't provide any form of notification, I just thought I'd like to invite you to take part in the various (slowly progressing) timeline discussions taking place at the moment. We started at Theory talk:Timeline - Second Doctor, and we've since started several more wide-reaching discussions at Theory talk:Timey-wimey detector, and then the discussion at Theory talk:Timeline - Seventh Doctor. If you're not interested, that's fine, I just thought I'd let you know in case you were. Danochy ☎  04:05, June 9, 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting know! I’ll be sure to take a look. WaltK ☎  17:52, June 9, 2020 (UTC)

Question on continuity
Hello, User:WaltK. I wanted to ask you something that could prove useful to deciphering the placement of an entry for the Thirteenth Doctor timeline theory forum. In At Childhood's End and A Little Help From my Friends, does Team TARDIS act surprised to finding out the Doctor had previous companions, or mention they've never met a predecessor of their's before? Thank you for time.BananaClownMan ☎  15:06, June 13, 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't believe they act surprised in ALHFMF... when the Doctor tells her friends what happened to her in Blink, it does prompt Yaz to say "You said "we". You weren't alone, then", which could give the impression that the idea of the Doctor having past companions is a new concept to them, but it's hard to determine. I haven't read At Childhood's End, so I can't say on that one. WaltK ☎  18:00, June 13, 2020 (UTC)

Lizzie
Hiya, on Lizzie (The Runaway TARDIS) you've uploaded a pretty good image, and as much as I like it, is there a version of the image with a larger crop, showing off more of her clothes? Epsilon the Eternal ☎  19:37, July 1, 2020 (UTC)


 * I believe the current one is good enough. It fits into the standard that other profile images follow (head and shoulder shots). WaltK ☎  19:44, July 1, 2020 (UTC)


 * Sounds reasonable. 👍

Thread:277667
Hi Walt, just wanted to say that I support your position 100% on Thread:277667. I've always hated those pages, which have always looked bad and look even worse now. Hopefully, the outcome of the thread will be in favor of our position. Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived ☎  00:20, July 3, 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks man! I'm glad that it's got people talking. WaltK ☎  07:19, July 3, 2020 (UTC)

Bootstrap paradox
Hiya WaltK. You just undid my revision over on Bootstrap paradox, as it was written from an out-of-universe perspective, but isn't the entire page written like that, from the third person? Granted, it was a touch speculative, but shouldn't the info be on that page anyway? (As the whole "wibbly wobbly timey wimey" is also speculation?) Epsilon the Eternal ☎  18:15, July 7, 2020 (UTC)


 * Saying "the events of [STORY TITLE] could also be seen as an example”, in those exact words, is how one would normally write something from a behind the scenes standpoint as opposed to an in-universe, biographical one. The proper way to write from an in-universe perspective would be:

"Iris and Panda did a thing that caused a bootstrap paradox. (PROSE: Iris Wildthyme and the Unholy Ghost)"


 * The only reason I opted to remove it rather than amend it is simply because I have not read the story and thus lacked the sufficient information needed to reword it accordingly. You're free to re-add it as long as you abide by the format I exemplified above. WaltK ☎  20:16, July 7, 2020 (UTC)


 * Gotcha! You and User:Scrooge MacDuck raised good points,so I'll incorporate them into a revised edit.
