Novelisation addition
Hi, I removed the novelisation from the classicTV info box, as the novelisation info should really be kept separate from the TV information. --Tangerineduel 14:26, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Doug86
I've been a bit absent recently caught up in life and all that but just having a browsw and two things drew my attention one was brief encounters and the other was the BIT comic strips. As both of these are of interest to me and on my list to look at I thought I might make a few suggestions.
 * Re Brief encounters

I had a discussion some time ago regarding how to list them. I think it was Tangerineduel, started giving them all an individual article, but after discussion we thought about referencing them to a single page. One of the reasons for this is quiet a few had no title assigned to them and would be difficult to find, and the other was the fact that content was concise, but lacking in available depth to warrant a whole page, without reprinting the text anyway. As their were I think just over 30, it seemed to be quite a short series, containable on one page. Anyway don't know if you found the previous discussion, or if these points had been considered, and if so I'd like to know how you're planning on dealing with the unnamed ones.
 * Re BIT comic strips

On a similar line, but not quite. I see you've started to give the strips individual pages. Here' a thought! As the strip is so short (running to only four pages, individually titled but often with a running narrative. Could 'we' (and I only say that because its something I've been looking at with regards Tenth Doctor Comic strips recently), combine the comic strip article in the BIT Issue page (yet to come). It would give the Issue page a bit more interest, strip continuity, and as the strip is limited to the magazine with a definite (so far) partwork issue of 52 be more contained.
 * Anyway just a few thoughts let me know what you think.The Librarian 15:02, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Just to jump into this conversation, after actually reading through some of the Brief Encounters recently (while working my way through various DWMs), they almost can qualify for a page, and with 30 stories would make for a long single page. As for the untitled ones, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. --Tangerineduel 15:29, 23 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree about giving Brief Encounters stories single pages, and I think I have a solution for the BIT comics. The Comic Book Database has given unofficial titles for the story arcs. If we borrow from them, it would be like this:


 * 1-6: The Survivors of Platform One
 * 7: The Glutonoid Menace
 * 8-11: Vaction on Centuria
 * 12-15: The Living Planet
 * 16: Plague Panic
 * 17: Exhausting Evil
 * 18-21: Wrath of the Warrior

Just a suggestion, let me know what you think. Doug86 20:49, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I've not mentioned it thus far. However please do not alter any further person's personal pages/postings, this is against our Vandalism and Unhelpful Content Policy, further actions such as those described may result in action being taken. (But on a side note, you've been doing a great job thus far). Thanks --Tangerineduel 13:07, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Status
Hi. Have changed your user rights to sysop (I think), put a message on my talk page if it's not done. --Tangerineduel 08:50, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

It works, thanks! Doug86 08:51, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Name Confusion Reply
The Oakley/Oakely spellings are taken straight from the official Big Finish pages. So unless someone has the actual cds, I don't have a way to verify which is the actual spelling, or if they're actually two different people with similiar names. --Colleyd 13:35, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Woof.

Stubs
I'm trying not to put the tag on all of them, if you think some aren't stubs, then just remove the tag. --AnimeNoKyouran 04:49, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Absent Admins
I'm sending this out to all the currently active Admins here, with regards to this Forum posting Forum:Absent Admins.

It's the suggestion that all the admins who have not been active in the last two years have their admin user rights dropped.

This is the list of users to be dropped back from admins.


 * User:***Stardizzy***
 * User:Amxitsa
 * User:Jaster
 * User:Joker1138
 * User:Josiah Rowe
 * User:Mantrid
 * User:Nhprman
 * User:OncomingStorm
 * User:Sean-Black

User:Freethinker1of1 was also on the list, though as he started this wiki I think that would be a bit of a kick in the teeth.

Please put your thoughts on the forum or get back to me with opinions or what we should do etc, thanks. (Also if you think I've missed any active admins can you send this message onwards to them also, I've sent this to User:Azes13, User:Ghelæ, User:GingerM). --Tangerineduel 15:41, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
