User talk:PicassoAndPringles

'''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

Vandalism edit
Hi! I appreciate your reverting of vandalism at Mickey Smith, but I do have a request. If you have to do so again, all you have to do is leave an edit summary stating that you are reverting vandalism (as you did on the Mickey Smith page). There is no need to leave a message on the offender's talk page for two important reasons: 1. it draws more attention to the vandalism, and 2. anonymous users don't get notifications when their talk pages are edited, so the offender will most likely never get your message.

Thanks for your help! Shambala108 ☎  03:19, September 5, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I didn't know. I will avoid it in the future.PicassoAndPringles ☎  03:30, September 5, 2013 (UTC)

Tele-snap of Camfield's Fairy Milk Chocolate
Hi PicassoAndPringles,

Just thought I'd drop you a line to thank you for adding to Camfield's Fairy Milk Chocolate the tele-snap of the chocolate bar being removed from the platform vending machine by Driver Evans.

I very much appreciate your help and efforts in tracking down this elusive tele-snap which — until now — could only be seen on the DVD.

Who knows, perhaps one day we'll see a bar of Camfield's Fairy Milk Chocolate (which I personally consider to be the Doctor Who universe's equivalent of the real-life Cadbury's Dairy Milk) again, this time in the new series... Freddie R. Aldous ☎  11:11, July 6, 2014 (UTC)

Spam in forums
Hi! Thanks for removing the spam in the forums, but in the future, if you do so, please let an admin know so the original poster can be blocked. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  14:15, August 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Gotcha, though I certainly didn't get any notifications. Must be a flaw in the system. Shambala108 ☎  16:05, August 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Got it, thanks, I've blocked this particular name and removed the thread, which for some reason wasn't removed before. Shambala108 ☎  17:36, August 20, 2014 (UTC)

Hidden Categories
I'm sorry. I didn't know about hidden categories I'll restore them. Slughorn42 ☎  22:28, September 2, 2014 (UTC)

New Pages
Thanks for contacting me. I'll be sure to make sure I only create new pages I have all the info to. TheAnonJade

Ok, I'm just use to other wiki's that just say replace the file so there isn't pictures overloading the server. 01:17, September 7, 2014 (UTC)

Screenshots sought
Hi PiccassoAndPringles,

I'm looking for screenshots to illustrate two pages I recently created for TARDIS Data Core: Imperial and Phil Madison.

As you very kindly supplied the tele-snap for another of my created pages, Camfield's Fairy Milk Chocolate, and having heard you have quite the collection where screenshots etc. are concerned, do you happen to have images of:
 * the 100 Imperials coin flipped by Adric in Warriors' Gate,
 * and


 * the robotised Phil Madison, as played by Peter Badger in The Dalek Invasion of Earth?

If so, please feel free to add these to the respective pages next time you're on TARDIS Data Core. This would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks. -- Freddie R. Aldous ☎  11:14, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Screenshots sought
Hi PicassoAndPringles,

Just thought I'd drop you a line to thank you for adding the image to Phil Madison; the page looks much better now.

With regard to Imperial, don't worry about the low quality image of the 100 Imperials coin, as this is better than nothing. Thanks also for putting me right about it being Aldo who flipped this particular piece of currency in Warriors' Gate part one. It just goes to show how long it's been since I watched the story! :-) Anyway, I've now revised the page accordingly and added the image of the coin.

Once again, thank you for all your help.

Good morning, I see you've cleared out a lot of the less interesting chapter title entries I've made recently in the Target books and Virgin New Adventures entries. I was going for a consistency between entries in having a chapter titles section, but I can see where that's not necessarily ^helpful^ on my part, just a little OCD.

Have a good day, Soundacious ☎  10:35, October 29, 2014 (UTC)

Infoboxes
I'm doing some work on another wiki and was admiring your infoboxes. Is there any advice or templates you can suggest for me to try to emulate your impressive infoboxes?

Leaving messages on other users' talk pages
Hi! I'm not sure exactly how to put this, but you need to moderate your tone when you leave messages on other users' talk pages. I haven't really felt it necessary to say anything until tonight, when you left a message at User talk:BananaClownMan about Tardis:Spoiler policy. To the uninitiated user, you come off sounding like an admin. There was no need for you to mention that he's been warned before; all that is necessary is to point the user to the policy page(s) in question, and if there is a problem, then let an admin know so they can deal with it.

Please, when leaving a message on other users' talk pages, refrain from using words like "warning", "enforce", or anything else that implies you have the ability to enforce policy on this wiki. For new users, it's not always obvious who is and who isn't an admin. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  06:52, February 19, 2015 (UTC)

BF Production Codes
Hi! My sources for the majority of the varied production codes I have added are form the actual physical releases themselves, and I can advise you that the production code listed on Big Finish's website for the release you mention is, as admitted by the company themself, a mistake (one of many, as the information on releases found there is riddled with errors). However, all releases from January 2013 onwards are given no placement code on the release or website, but through contact with producers and authors the detailed production codes are given. Note that numerous releases since have no production code (the Locum Doctors trilogy, Trial of the Valeyard, various box sets and special releases), as Big Finish has now ceased making evident any confirmed placement.

Death in Heaven
Hello PicassoAndPringles, Why did you delete my added information in Death In Heaven? It read: "Missy is revealed to have been The Master, a man, in her last incarnation something The Doctor has said happens on occasion when he spoke of The Timelord The Corsair who came back as a woman "a couple of times." (TV: The Doctor's Wife)" This is accurate information and also shows the continuity of the show. If you watch The Doctor's Wife you will hear the doctor make the statement that The Corsair was a fantastic bloke who never felt quite himself, or herself a couple of times, until he got his tattoo of a snake. These lines are said right at the start of the show when The Doctor receives "mail" in the form of a glowing white box. Please tell me what your problem is with this accurate information. Thank you.

Titan Back-up Comics
Hey, I just wanted to tell you that we are currently sending down a final vote on the Titan back-up comics down at Thread:177099. You seemed to have a pretty strong opinion on the issue, so I just wanted to make sure that you knew that the vote was happening. The polls currently tally to three votes for the back-up strips being valid and five for them being invalid. All votes have gone towards making the WeLoveTITANS comics invalid. If you want a say in the matter, there is a week and three days left on voting. Sorry for the bother! OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 21:27, September 2, 2015 (UTC)

Timeline
Thanks for the links. I will get back to this issue after studying them. By the way, I completely agree that stating that "A Doctor's Tale" follows "An Unearthly Child" is silly. In some cases, Big Finish states the timeline placement explicitly in the "Behind the Scenes" tab, which might help avoid speculation. Another note before I have information policy-wise: in "A Doctor's Tale" the events of the crusade are not only mentioned but used for plot development. Ian is accepted as equal by the nobility and clergy because he is knighted: he is Sir Ian of Jaffa. This happened in "The Crusade," which is why, in my mind, it is important. Anyway, let me read up first.Amorkuz ☎  15:28, October 24, 2015 (UTC)

Okay, so my first impression is that my edits did not, in fact, violate the old decision sited in Forum:Timeline sections on pages. It has been decided that If the story's timeline is actually certain enough and noteworthy enough, then mention of it will be made in the lead or story notes section. And there were pages with such information in the lead section, e.g., Blood of the Daleks.

I was also always mentioning timeline information in the lead section. I will be happy to additionally provide the reasoning behind it as was requested by some participants in that forum. I'll have to think how to do it in a spoiler-free way though. But if Voord is in the title of the story, I guess it is not really a spoiler to mention a previous encounter with them.

What do you think? Should I go ahead and reinstate important cases or should we open a new discussion? In the latter case, perhaps, you could start it as you are have more experience with the forum and it would be easier for you to involve the right people.Amorkuz ☎  18:00, October 24, 2015 (UTC)
