Reverting
Thanks for fixing the Davros article; didn't realize I'd reverted it back to more vandalism, heh.-- Austin (Talk) 01:51, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

In-universe articles = past tense
Hi. I've seen some of your edits at The Moment, and I can't help but notice you deliberately edited away from our Manual of style. While I think you were editing in good faith, and clearly trying to improve the article, I have to point out that in-universe articles must be in the past tense, without exception. I know you will find articles written by editors unfamiliar with this ruling, but it is something to which we should be aspiring, without fail.

Your argument that "we still don't know all the facts", or words to that effect, doesn't really hold as a rationale for using the present tense, because we still don't know all the facts about every topic on this wiki. BBC Wales could put out an episode tomorrow that completely revolutionizes our understanding of, say, the Cybermen, and we'd have to go back and completely rewrite our article on that topic. But that doesn't obviate our need to follow the site's Point of view policy.  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  14:37, January 12, 2011 (UTC) 21:58: Tue 20 Dec 2011
