'''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

Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this: ~ ~ ~ ~

Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask on my talk page. Doug86 ☎  04:39, June 10, 2020 (UTC)

Explanation
Hi. I thought I would just pop by to explain why I removed your first edit on Hexagora (audio story) about the reference to A Christmas Carol. The main issue with that edit was that the sentence you added the source to said that the Doctor had been engaged before, and the engagement to Marilyn Monroe did not fit that criteria as it happened in the Doctor's future.

 * Hi LauraBatham, thank you very much for the explanation, I completely understand! I'm still new to the wiki so I'm still in the learning process. Thank you very much for fixing my silly mistake(s)! 

Just FYI
Not an admin, but just a heads up, deleting your own talk page isn't kosher under T:VAN. Najawin ☎  06:09, June 13, 2020 (UTC)

Thank you! Yes I'm terribly sorry, I'm still new to the wiki and still learning how it works, and still having a bit of trouble. Thank you for undoing my "idiotic" mistake!


 * Also going to note that you can indent code with multiple ":" s and sign your comments with "~" (four tildes). Najawin ☎  06:23, June 13, 2020 (UTC)


 * I see, thank you very much for the helpful information user Najawin! What is required for making a sign for comments? Also, I notice that you are a mathematics and philosophy major! I study Chemical Physics and would be very interested in writing more wiki articles based on mathematics and science. How can we get started on this project?

 * I'm not technically a philosophy major, my minor was that. I don't like talking about my personal life too much, but effectively my areas of interest (without going into issues of specialization, which is too much for me to be comfortable about) would be something like history and philosophy of science, as well as foundations of physics, and both of those specifically related to quantum mechanics and structuralism. In general though, this wiki doesn't talk about issues unless they're mentioned in the DWU, and it doesn't talk about them that much past what is said about them in the DWU. So for instance, I've gone through and tried to add or clean up small behind the scene sections for most of the quantum physics entries here. EG: Klein-Gordon field had no behind the scenes section and so the entire thing was just technobabble to any reader of the wiki. But creating an entry for, say, Bohmian Mechanics, while something I would adore, would be outside the scope of this wiki. Najawin ☎  06:44, June 13, 2020 (UTC)


 * Oh, I see. My apologies for asking, that was very rude of me. Thank you for the explanation though. That really is a shame as there is quite a lot of potential in that and honestly I do get rather sad when the show and the wiki rely on technobabble rather than legitimate science but it is understandable. I guess that would explain why the Happy prime page was so small. That is too bad. I do also remember seeing the Klein-Gordon field page and was wondering why it was so small compared to the chapters I have seen in my QFT course textbook! Is there no way to convince the admins of the legitimacy of such a project? I would be happy to continue this conversation in private if that is what you may prefer. Is there a way to exchange such information on the wiki via some communication channel that is not related to the "talk" button featured on a user's page?

 * P.S. I also notice that each time I update this page, your edit for the note that user LauraBatham left seems to disappear. Is there something I am doing wrong or that I am doing to cause this. Each time I see a new message I just "edit" the talk page. Should I not be doing this?
