EDA Books / Bernice Summerfield Books

 * thanks for doin' it! I think they have programs to bulk-transfer entries from Wikipedia to Wiki's but don't know how that works. that would help. --***Stardizzy*** 14:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * That would be at special:import, operatable only by admins. 16:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)


 * As I've said, I'll work though it, doing it from scratch, the wikipedia pages aren't in the same format or have the same sorta idea as the TARDISwiki, so I'm not sure it would help...though being an admin would...but it matters not in any case. --Tangerineduel 13:36, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * if you get Administrator priveliges you can use the Special:Import page to import entries from Wikipedia. I think/hope that includes the pictuers. of course, for all I know, you already have Admin. priveliges. I had brought this up in the Forum before but no one responded, so I didn't know if you knew. also, I forgot to sign my name, but I made the comments on numbering the seasons, below. --***Stardizzy*** 14:27, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I have begun the Benny New Adventures (and it's just as easy to start from scratch then trying to reformat and rewrite from wikipedia. (haven't really begun...but Oh No It Isn't! has an rejigged info box for other novels (no Doctor position and 'Companions' has been changed to 'Featuring' more in line with the Benny range I think). --Tangerineduel 07:29, 8 March 2007 (UTC)


 * why thank you. I guess when you import the entry, the image doesn't also import automatically, unfortunatley? --***Stardizzy*** 11:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

two requests
do you think you could add one line summaries where it says References to explain how it links to a story? please also, verrrry verrrry important, keep entries on Whoniverse people/places/things (in some cases, all three!) in-universe. --***Stardizzy*** 12:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Eh...alright I'll try to do it...It is my intent to have lots of information on all of these pages...so I will go back and fix them up...I'm for the moment trying to get something (at least a page) for every Eighth Doctor book (in the hopes that other people will be moved to add stuff once there's a page)...but I shall go back through.--Tangerineduel 16:18, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Novelisations

 * agree with you on novelisations versus novelizations, though I never noticed the difference in spelling until you mentioned it. --***Stardizzy*** 14:47, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * update: I have retitled some of the entries accordingly. also, created a Novelisations category. --***Stardizzy*** 14:21, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Well done!
You've managed to complete all the EDAs! Now just the MAs, NAs, NDAs, and don't forget the TDAs! And once you've done the novels, there's the BFAs, BFBSs, the DWMs... 14:07, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, I fogot the PDAs and TWNs... :) 14:11, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Don't listen! Slack off instead! Azes13 14:11, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I will...at some point soon be starting the Bernice Summerfield (Virgin) New Adventures. Haven't read all the MAs (haven't got most of them), same with the PDAs, so someone else can have that job. All the NAs are done (I think), but I may go through and clean them up / add to them.

I'll consider the Big Finish Audios...maybe.

I'm sure there's enough interest in the New Series for someone to do the NDAs and TDAs. --Tangerineduel 14:49, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Terror Firma
I doff my floppy hat to you, a nice job at what was surely very short notice. --Gai-jin 13:33, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Made of Steel
Thanks for the help with the formatting for the Made of Steel page, having spent a year using a different system on Memory Beta for a year, I slipped into using that system. I tried looking at the Manual of Style but couldn't find a section for novels, but now I know what format to use. Thanks again (-: --Vote Saxon 15:42, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * There isn't one (I don't think) in the Manual of Style...I may have to fix that. It's my mission to fix all the novels (all the EDAs conform to the manual of style...as I wrote most of them. --Tangerineduel 15:46, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Correction there wasn't one, there is now. (See Format for Novels) --Tangerineduel 16:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Plot summaries
Thanks for fixing those plot summaries I visited upon 42 and Human Nature.

Concerning the longwindedness of the Human Nature plot, I wrote a much, much briefer version which is currently on English Wikipedia and you should copy that if you think it's better. The short plot summaries are a bit of a departure for Wikipedia--for some reason they've got into a bad habit of including a blow-by-blow account of everything in the episode, and I'm now trying to get them to write proper analytical plot descriptions (which are what our policies are supposed to mandate).

I won't copy any more over because I'm sure you know you can do that yourself if you need to. The licenses are both GFDL. --Tony Sidaway 04:21, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
