Admin
To be an admin you need to understand the policies, procedures and workings of this wiki. You also need to have a good working knowledge of Doctor Who and the Doctor Who universe. A lengthy edit history is also required as when a serious request to be an admin is made the editor's edit history is looked through by other admins to determine if the editor has the skills necessary to be an admin on this wiki. At this time I can't really consider your request to be an admin as you have a far too low edit count to be able to judge your skills as an editor.

Most duties an admin carries out can be done by a regular editors on this wiki. If you're looking for a direction to begin there is the Tardis:To Do List, see also the Tardis:Help page for our policies and other useful pages for this site.

Also, just on a side note, when uploading images please select a copyright tag from the licensing drop down box, in the case of the image of a Doctor Who Magazine that you recently uploaded you would have needed to clicked the licensing menu box, and scroll down to 'Magazines' and select 'Doctor Who Magazine covers', this adds a copyright tag for Doctor Who Magazine covers. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 13:02, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Article sections
Please do not add puns as titles for sections or other to articles. These have no place in the article and will be removed. Thank-you. The Thirteenth Doctor 15:11, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Stuff
In terms of being an admin, read Tangerineduel's comments above. When you've been around for a few months, then you can start to think about becoming an administrator.

For the upcoming Christmas special, there has been no title announced as yet, and until the episode is just about to air (as in, same day), an article will not be created for it. This is due to the policies of the wiki. -- sulfur 23:14, July 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * As I and sulfur have said about being an admin.
 * In more specific terms with regards to you wishing to be an admin just to create a Christmas special article, as there is no confirmable information, such as a title there is very little information.
 * However you can still be a valuable editor on this wiki, many of the duties accomplished by an admin can be done by regular users.
 * Also please remember to cite a source when adding information, such as your recent edit to the Series 6 page. While you have mentioned that the 'Doctor Who website' showed it you did not link to any article so others may check the information.
 * Please also remember that in-universe articles need to be written from an in-universe perspective (not as you did in this edit to the Heart of the TARDIS article. As I said above knowing our Tardis:Manual of Style and looking through the Tardis:Help pages with the various policies and such listed there will be a assistance in becoming a good editor. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 13:59, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Eighth Doctor
I'm going to use your recent edits to the Eighth Doctor's page to explain a few things to you. Please don't add information from audio dramas etc. that have not yet aired, these are classed as spoilers. Plus, all you did was link to the page, no explanation as to what the section was to be about. If you don't have any information, don't create a new section. Simply linking to the drama articles makes the page out of universe. Also, any new information goes in it's chronological place on the Doctor's page, ie. they can't take place after his regeneration. Thanks. The Thirteenth Doctor 11:07, July 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * You don't have to apologise. Just take note of it and remember it in future. The Thirteenth Doctor 12:59, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

== Rumours ==

Please do not add rumours without sources. This is seen as vandalism. Looking at your talk page, I would strongly suggest you have a read at the policies, otherwise you may be listed as a vandal. The Thirteenth Doctor 19:50, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

It was the rumour that Omega would return on the series 6 page. Fan based rumours do not belong there, only rumours supported by an outside source. Perhaps I should not have said "this is seen as vandalism" but this could be seen as vandalism if repeated continually. Sorry for not being clear enough. And I do suggest that you have a read through the policies as I know they are good faith edits and you are generally a good editor, but continuing to breach policies, like the above messages could end up with a block. If you read through the policies, you'll know what not to do and you'll remove the risk of accidentally getting a block. The Thirteenth Doctor 17:36, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Adventure Games
To whichever admin is telling me off

I'm sorry if I made a mistake on the adventure games page because i can't remeber the links but mabye you could look into it and find them. The text that i left on the page is 100% true. I got the underwater one from a magazine in WH Smiths and I got the Tardis one from a reliable source within the adventure game crew. Ghastly9090 18:26, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Citing sources
Hey. When you are citing the sources, if you want the little number you use   instead of using  [url here] . --The Thirteenth Doctor 11:57, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

Puzzle pieces and ref tags
If what you're talking about is what I think you're talking about, it's what The Thirteenth Doctor has said above. The "puzzle piece" you mentioned means an external link out, but on real world pages sources are cited using the method The Thirteenth Doctor describes above and that is visible throughout the Series 6 page. You links appear as they do because they're not ref tagged. --Tangerineduel 13:24, August 30, 2010 (UTC)
