Temporary admin
I defer to you knowledge with regard to tech related issues. I'm sporadically on the Community Wiki. As long as it is only a temporary adminship position to assist with the re-colourisation process. Thanks for keeping me informed. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:42, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

Video needing posting
So there's a behind the scenes video for A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story). I can't post it myself, because I think you once told me that that was an admin's job; and I can't link to it, because of our rule on linking youtube on pages. All I can do is tell you that it's called "Eoin Colfer Doctor Who eBook - A Big Hand for the Doctor". OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 16:19, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, 86.151.81.144 is a vandal. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 00:08, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

I can't help but notice you ignored my first post -- It was slightly confusing, so I'm gonna try it in a different way.

"I want to add a behind-the-scenes video to a page, how do I go-about doing that?" OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 01:12, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, so I'm gonna ask a third time... How do I add a video to an infobox? OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 05:53, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Message Wall
Hey Czech. I've recently noticed that when someone has posted on the forums and it appears on the activity feed, when you click on their name under the forum name it takes you to their message wall instead of their talk page.

I know it maybe not be anything major, but would it not seem at bit more handier and sensible for it to go to their talk page instead? MM/ Want to talk? 01:19, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Videos
I don't often check videos' file usage information. Videos wise I usually only check to make sure they're valid and that they're in keeping with our Video policy. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:25, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Accident caused by the ranaming of the page Volva to Mercedes. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 04:39, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Variable suggestion
I suggest we add a "Other Doctors" or perhaps "Doctors" variable to Template:Infobox Story. This is useful not only for Multi-Doctor stories but also for stories that don't really have one "main" Doctor, like Prisoners of Time or The Sirens of Time, all of which don't really feature one "main" Doctor. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 03:32, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, like I said before, for one it's great for stories that don't really have a "main" Doctor. Also I should note that Multi-Doctor stories aften get rather cluttered "featuring" boxes due to the half-a-dozen charactors that usually appear. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 04:55, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * The Sirens of Time (audio story), Destiny of the Doctors (video game), Heart of TARDIS (novel), Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story), The Four Doctors (audio story); and any other stories that do not feature any main "Doctor"; as well as just any Multi-Doctor story. Note the yellow triangle on each of these pages means that whatever was done to put multiple variables in the 'Doctor' is breaking the template.

OverAnalyser edits
Argh! I thought they were told, warned, threatened by you and me and learnt what to do and what not to do. Not to sound lazy, but wouldn't it be easier just to rollback / delete all their edits as their information falls into the N:RW category? Though I will of course begin a comb through as try to thin it down, rollback and undo whatever he, she, they have done thus far. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:30, January 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Not quite a fine toothed comb, but I have gone through all OA's article edits and edited out everything that looked suspect or questionable. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:34, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Big Finish covers
Evelyn Smyth's current image is a picture from a comic strip, which doesn't give a very good idea of Evelyn's appearance. I tried to replace this image with a nice clear photo of her from the cover of A Town Called Fortune, but the edit was reverted by Ottelspy, who said that we can't use Big Finish covers to illustrate characters. I feel like a casual user would much rather see the photo than the drawing. What exactly is this wiki's stance on BF covers? Cult Of Skaro Here.|Communicate here. 04:57, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Dates and Tenses
Okay. Thank you for pointing that out. I hadn't noticed that. That is now added to my list of things to fix in date articles. Also, can you please join me at the forum I started to state your personal opinions on all my suggestions (some of which were actually yours anyways)? No one's really responded yet and your input is needed. Thanks. SmallerOnTheOutside ☎  20:49, February 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, I checked the page and the only verb in present tense was in the lead. (I mostly just moved the original sentence and made it into a full sentence - I need to check for these mistakes next time). Is this what you're referring to? You wrote "There's no reason for the out-of-universe portion of these articles to be in the present tense," but, and I'm looking at the article as I'm typing this, I can confirm there are no verbs in the present tense in the Behind the Scenes section (nor generally in any other BTS sections). It is all in past tense, until you are referring to things like "who would play Sir Charles Summer in TV: The War Machines...." If you are, these aren't present tense. I'm pretty much using that conjugation (forgot what it's called...) to mean the future of the event but the past of today. I see nothing in present. Sorry. SmallerOnTheOutside ☎  21:12, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

What Links Here
You never answered my question in the day of the year thread. So I'll ask it here: how does one go about doing one such WLH search. I've been wanting to do this for a long time, but I don't know how. I doubt it'd be an admin-only feature. It doesn't seem logical. So... how is it done? SmallerOnTheOutside ☎  02:17, February 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I looked it up on Google and found that it's done here. Thanks anyway. SmallerOnTheOutside ☎  02:17, February 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much, Czech. I've already been using Category:Maintenance for a while but I have no idea of the existence of Special:SpecialPages, which is so much clearer and has so much more information. It also never occurred to me to edit that tool bar at the bottom. I will now fiddle around there and add what's needed. Once again, thank you so much. You're making me feel so welcome, despite the fact that I only just joined about a month ago. Your tips are much appreciated. SmallerOnTheOutside ☎  02:46, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Page Deletion
Sorry it took me so long to respond. Wikia wasn't letting me edit anything for almost 20 minutes. Some sort of glitch. Don't worry, I'm not really upset. Annoyed would be a better word. Not quite aggravated, even. Annoyed at the fact that I wasted an hour and a half working on a useless article on the words of OS that I "don't have to ask." I had assumed that, from all the times he's been here, he knows Tardis policy much better than I do and wouldn't make that kind of mistake. Annoyed that I could have spent that hour and a half on something productive, like continuing my day article clean-up, which I had taken a break from to do this. I obviously won't make the same mistake again, though. As much as I dislike it, this is the way we learn. SmallerOnTheOutside ☎  08:34, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Deletion of user pages
God, I seem to be the only one posting here. I've posted here way too often. While I agree that a picture from Gone with the Wind will most likely have nothing to do with a Doctor Wjo wiki, please acknowledge that it's not exactly for an article; it's for my user page. Which, if you'll take a look at it, you'll find, is very much a parody of a user page. The GWTW image was there for humour purposes only as was the first picture taken from one of Lemony Snicket's false dark portraits - which is exactly the feel I wanted to portray, as well as the picture of the cow. Trust me, I check, no sort of copyright bounds to the picture of the cow. I'd read the user page policy and the user image policy, and, while I didn't find then very specific and they failed to answer a lot of my questions, my user pictures were not against the rules if those policies. Please refer me to the piece of policy that I'd missed so that I can remedy the situation and renter the pictures in a legal fashion according to the rules of this wiki. Do you like my new name and feel, though? --The Doctor Detective Arch Architectural Bishop Baker Intern Inspector (aka. SmallerOnTheOutside). Now memorize that and contact me. 03:10, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

User images, signature, name, and just about everything else you don't like about me
Considering your general objection to just about everything I did yesterday, including my new signature, my new name, and the images used on my new user page, there's only one simple solution: revert everything I did to my account to what it was Saturday, before I had brilliant ideas and decided I should touch my account up with a little humour, which, apparently you don't appreciate. Please don't read this as an attack, though; I'm just not in a good mood and annoyed. The amount of general disapproval I've been receiving from you lately certainly isn't helping. So I'll just go back to being boring SmallerOnTheOutside, a user no longer unique, with a name and page exactly like everyone else's. Apparently, my individuality isn't wanted here. Well, this is the last time you'll be seeing this signature... --The Doctor Detective Arch Architectural Bishop Baker Intern Inspector. Now memorize that and contact me. 04:31, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Day of the year articles
Okay, fine, second to last time. I'll change my signature later. Anyways, I've noticed that my phone hasn't been buzzing with emails saying that the day of the year articles have been deleted. So, just in case, I'm leaving you a message here, so you'll notice right away when you return. I finished adding delete tags on all day articles without in-universe information several hours ago. See the thread. Whenever you read this, please run the bot. Don't forget to tell me when you do so at the thread, so I don't touch the articles then, or at least be a couple steps behind the Bot. Thanks. Come to think of it, shouldn't I be posting this on your bot's page? Whatever. The same person will read it nonetheless. --The Doctor Detective Arch Architectural Bishop Baker Intern Inspector (aka. SmallerOnTheOutside). Now memorize that and contact me. 08:19, February 5, 2013 (UTC)

Personal Attacks
I don't really see how that can be seen as an attack, or even rude, but, obviously, I'll refrain from doing things like that in the future. "This is your only warning" gave me the chills, I must admit. Can you please give me other examples so that I can better understand what you consider to be an attack? I would like to preferably stay away from getting banned. Thanks. SOTO ☎ 04:07, February 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * I was not planning and will not say anything like "well you didn't mention that." Here's my official statement: You can charge me on anything on Tardis:No personal attacks or any other wiki policy, regardless of the specific examples you give me. I will not pretend like personal attacks are limited to the examples you give me, and allow you to use any and all Tardis rules against me. I am now asking for a couple specific examples of how I infringed the "no personal attacks" policy - not for use as a reference if you ever decide to ban me - so that I know specifically what I've been doing wrong so that I won't do it again in the future. I can hardly refrain from not making the same mistakes if I don't even know what those mistakes are. And, by the way, I'm actually pretty insulted that you thought I'd sink to the level of using your examples as leeway if you ever ban me. You know, I do have dignity and sympathy for others. [[file:SmallerOnTheOutside.png|15px]] SOTO ☎ 04:36, February 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay. I'll do my best. I read the discussion on whether or not he should be banned. Gave me the shivers. By the way, the reason I actually said "Ima" later on was because I mostly wrote that post before I read his plea for me not to use that nickname. Then, when I got an email that he'd responded, I copied my post and reloaded the page. Then, when I was about to click reply, I realised that the text I'd written beforehand included the nickname, and, instead of just replacing it, I opted to lighten the mood a bit (and make it a bit less formal - it was getting a little too formal for my tastes) and put it in brackets. It was simply light humour, which I have now been warned to stay away from. A bit boring and paranoid, in my opinion, not to be able to include any humour in fear that it'll insult someone, but I don't have much choice in the matter. Anyways, I will really try hard not to "attack" people. But please try to inform me once in a while when I start to get close to the border. (I sometimes have trouble recognising what other people find rude, as I personally don't apply the concept of rudeness to other people myself. It's a bit foreign to me.)

Master of Spiders
The User:Master of Spiders is causing trouble. He has started an edit war at Totem (short story), despite the heated debate that had been going on at Talk:Totem (short story); as well as made personal attacks at me; questioning my Intelligence as well as stating on my talk page that "I see you live in Versailles. Perhaps your understandings of English adjectives may be a bit fuzzy?", a very clear personal attack. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 16:38, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

That is not true. I stated that there were several errors with the article("Totem"). I quoted the relevant passages from the story. OttelSpy25 insisted that what I had quoted were "typos", and chose to simply dismiss various text as it didn't suit his/her interpretation of the story. After he/she made personal attacks against me(calling me "feeble"), I asked him/her to simply quote the passages from "Totem" that backed up his/her position. He/she refused. I edited the article, as per the text I had quoted, but he/she tried to start an edit war. I then noticed he/she is from Versailles, and suggested(it was never meant as an attack of any sort) that he/she didn't fully understand certain aspects of the English language. This was deemed to be "making fun of his/her ethnicity". Odd, as I have one French grandparent myself. He/she has yet to provide any definite evidence to back up his/her position. Master of Spiders ☎  17:28, February 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Inaccuracies. My position is that your information provided shows that it is the 8th Doctor. You have shown 0% proof that this isn't the Eighth Doctor, you're strongest argument being "The Doctor had blue eyes, not grey blue eyes!" When I failed to understand how that had to do with anything, you suggested that I could not speak english. Also, I'm from Versailles, Ky.
 * Also note that although Spiders continued to continuously change the page to fit his opinion; ignoring the discussion occurring at the same time where multiple people told him that he was wrong. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 18:13, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

It wasn't "multiple" people. It was two people. You being one of them. Also, my points are laid out on the talk page, and go far beyond what you state here. Master of Spiders ☎  04:36, February 12, 2013 (UTC) My talk page is not the place for your bickering. You've each had one statement and one rebuttal. Now stop it. 15:40: Tue 12 Feb 2013

Photo's
I acknowledge the warnings and give up on this Wiki, far too many confusing rules about images.

I understand the rules, they just seem odd. I guess I'm just not used to a Wiki with such strict rules, I really should know better than to repeatedly break the rules/policies. I am truly sorry for all the wasted time I've caused you or any other Administrator with having to remove policy breaking images I've uploaded.

Hi, I'll try to edit the images to link the artist name. I'm still not very used to the wiki editing.

I have read too that all must be in British English and not in American. I'm not British nor American: I'm Spanish. I'm not native English speaker and sometimes I don't know very well if something is from American English or British English, but I'll do my best!

Big Finish trailers
Do these fulfill fair use/fair dealing? I've re-read Wikipedia' fair use page, and the fair dealing page. The latter mostly because I read through BF's BF's Terms and Conditions page which is fairly specific about their content "The Information may not be used for any other purpose including, publication, reproduction, or transmission without the express written permission of BFP" and it being exclusive jurisdiction in English Courts.

This is I guess no different from all the other stuff we've got on the site, but with all the other content we're using it to provide analysis / criticism. But with the trailers just being within the infobox, I'm just concerned this is a step outside of using the covers as identification.

Or am I just reading too much into it and worrying about nothing? --Tangerineduel / talk 15:49, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Totem (short story)
Yes, I will admit that is quite ironic, how I was going off topic and wasting space; I was, in a sense, completely going against what I was saying. Anyways, I know you left them messages, but they just kept on going. So I just left them a reminder, as nothing was helping. I'm not sure exactly what the rules are, so I don't know if off-topic comments on talk pages should be deleted. If there is no such rule, there really should be. Anyways, sorry I went against specifically what I'd said in the comment by writing the comment. Weird...

One more thing: actually looking at T:DISCUSS (which I pretty much referenced in my comment), I realise it should be updated. It talks about blogs. We haven't had blogs for years. I know I'm able to edit it, but it feels wrong doing it. SOTO ☎ 03:15, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Totem
Yes, I realise that my behavior was out of bounds. I sorta busted a gaspet after he put an emparessing six-or-so paragraphs on my discussion and not the page itself. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 03:19, February 15, 2013 (UTC)

Word order
Is a sentence structure like "They returned him to Hollywood 1926 to collect the Terronite Transference machine", "He once again encountered the Krillitane, in Worcester, 1140" and "He saved Adelaide, Mia and Yuri and took them back to Earth 2059" a normal way of rendering locations and years and I'm just brain farting, or is it actually improper and awkward English?

Sig
Signature fixed. Sorry for any complications. I just wanted some different element in my sig. Also, once again, take a look at T:DISCUSS. It talks a lot about blogs, which we haven't had in years. Please revise it. One more thing: if I'm looking through and I see typos (I've seen many before), am I allowed to fix them? It feels weird, considering it's the policy. --SOTO ☎ 01:15, February 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Are you telling me I seriously have to go to the Panopticon to get rid of rules about the long-abolished blogs? Does that even merit discussion? The rules no longer apply. I'm asking only so I know, not in annoyance or anger or anything like that. I'm curious: we really need to have a discussion about this? --SOTO ☎ 01:39, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

Hey CzechOut, i'm working right now on a project to improving the article of "The Doctor" (הדוקטור) on the hebrew DW wiki. i have some problem, now, with the photo on the template. i see that in the article about The Doctor in the english wiki, there are 11 photos for each incarnation in a slideshow, and i think it could be really great if i could do it in the hebrew wiki as well.
