Calendar confusion in The Green Death
I don't understand why you deleted the calendar issue in Ep 2 of TGD yesterday. The choice of Feb 1972 in the scene at the security gate was pretty clearly designed to place the story in that month, but given that the calendar a few minutes later showed a date in April 1973 (when the show was being filmed) seems to strongly indicate that this was an error. TBH, this is at the irrelevant/amusing end of the production error spectrum, but I do think it would have reached the bar of an error to be mentioned in e.g. The Discontinuity Guide given the other sorts of things that get included in that volume (see, for example, the 1925/26 calendar blooper they describe in Carnival of the Monsters).

Re: Plot
Hey no problem, happy to do so! I have quite a few in mind that I want to do so hopefully they will be done over the next few weeks or at the very least, whenever I have a chance to purchase/listen to the audios in question. Yes I am terribly sorry, my method right now consists of listening to the audio and making notes in a microsoft word document as I listen. After that I just copy and paste it directly onto the page in question but as I've noticed, it reads the written characters literally and causes a lot of issues for which I am deeply sorry. I will be changing this in the future. I looked up sandoxing on wikipedia and while they have an explicit demonstration there, I was wondering if you could quickly fill me in on how to do a sandbox page here on tardiswiki? It will save a lot of work and time in the future. Also need to start using the "Inuse" template you mentioned before so I don't end up spamming the recent activity page. Thank you, I'm very sorry for all the inconvenience and much, much appreciated! DoctorQuoi ☎  23:14, June 21, 2020 (UTC)DoctorQuoi

Infoboxes
Okay, I understand. So infoboxes that are longer than the article and don't contain an actor can be removed? -- Saxon (✉️) 10:03, June 28, 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks Shambala, I think I've caught all of them. I do agree with Saxon that we should have some definitive angle when there is need for an infobox and when there isn't. Especially in the light of these short articles but also in the longer ones, as I've sometimes had to add them to articles where they need them but are several paragraphs long especially audio characters.

Re: cleanup
Thanks, that's very kind of you. Not gonna lie, I do kind of enjoy keeping things organised, so it's good to be able to put that to good use! Thanks, also, to the efforts you put in, both in that area and in adminship in general, it really does help to keep the place running smoothly. Danochy ☎  10:46, June 28, 2020 (UTC)

Images
Hiya, you recently deleted, on the basis it was in a portrait orientation, however, due to the source of the image, it's not possible to get a landscape orientation without the whole left side being a completely redundant area of space, increasing the file size, making the image take longer to load, which as far as I can recall is something this wiki doesn't want.

Re:Interpretation
Again, I think the point is well taken generally, and the specific issue about new users is certainly relevant. I just think this particular instance was much ado about nothing for the reasons laid out. (That said, have you actually had instances of users thinking something is policy when someone makes clear that they're interpreting a comment made by someone else? I say this with no frustration whatsoever, I'm utterly fascinated by this idea. I would love to see an example if you know of one.) Najawin ☎  17:27, July 9, 2020 (UTC)
 * this will be my only comment, as i do not want to wade in and cause a big argument.


 * i clearly remember an instance where you stated a policy to me which turned out to be wrong. it occurred here; Talk: How The Monk Got His Habit (short story), i had opened a merger discussion on the talkpage of said page (as i correctly thought at the time was the right thing to do) but you came in and stated quite firmly that i had went against policy and needed to make a thread about it; "make a thread about it. Until then, T:BOUND, you can't say that they're the same thing".


 * it later turned out that this was wrong and you didnt exactly step up to explain that you'd led me wrong. not that i found it to be too big a deal, but the way you firmly stated a policy that you actually didnt understand led me to doing something wrong so i could very well see this happening in the forums to new users too.

About the War Chief/Master Thread
While I was a relatively neutral party in principle, and I guess in practice "against", just from how the thread panned out, I would politely ask for a small waiving of T:BOUND in the event that User:Scrooge MacDuck would like to reformulate the thread. Scrooge made the point in that thread that he was thinking about making a similar thread (see: Thread:275417), but one less focused on authorial intent (see: Thread:275417). In general I found his comments far more persuasive, and I think this version of the thread would, if it comes to exist, have a different path of discussion. I ask for a waiving of T:BOUND because I'm not certain that any new evidence will actually be brought up, but instead it would feature a restructuring of evidence, away from authorial intent. (It's entirely possible such a thread by him would have new evidence, I'm just asking this in case it doesn't.) Best. Najawin ☎  06:28, July 11, 2020 (UTC)
 * Or maybe not T:BOUND. Whichever the one is about needing new evidence to open a thread. You understand what I mean. Najawin ☎  06:34, July 11, 2020 (UTC)


 * And no such "new" thread ever appeared. It is clear that this user did indeed "have a horse in the race". And he/she has also been caught in a lie. 197.86.143.51talk to me 07:18, July 11, 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm so deeply confused as to this response. I haven't lied anywhere here, and this comment here was just made after Shambala closed the thread. If I truly "had a horse in the race" why would I ask Shambala for special dispensation for a similar thread to be reopened in the future as soon as the thread was closed? This just makes no sense. Najawin ☎  07:26, July 11, 2020 (UTC)

The Peter Butterworth thread has been closed?
The thread on the Panopticon about Peter Butterworth was never about "this guy is the Master". It was about the NUMEROUS contradictory, and utterly incompatible, takes on what was supposed to be a single character. And yet, as stated, there are multiple differing accounts, no two of which can be reconciled.

And, very importantly, the "he is the Master" in-narrative was just one view.

But, there was very clearly another view that he was never even a Time Lord at all!

And, of course, another view that while he was a Time Lord(and never the Master) he was never actually called "the Monk".

The point was that having a page called "the Monk"(when multiple in-narrative sources state that that was NEVER his actual name, and just a disguise), and insisting that he is a Time Lord is pushing one specific line. One that by itself is utterly impossible. I believe that closing that thread was a mistake, as the actual issues were never addressed. The only one who actually gave any sort of valid response asked about "Are you saying the Monk is the Master"?, which was NEVER the actual point of the thread. It was about how to address the character who appeared in The Time Meddler and The Daleks' Master Plan, and even what species he actually was. And now that was closed before any real discussion ever took place. 197.86.143.51talk to me 06:50, July 11, 2020 (UTC)

Closing War Chief/Master thread. Why?
The thread was shut down. The reasoning you stated was:

"There's enough evidence against the Master". A single dream sequence in Divided Loyalties. But even so, it still needs to be interpreted as to who "Magnus" in Divided Loyalties actually is. And, what's more, this very wiki has a Magnus article, that is separate from both the War Chief and Master articles.

While, as just one example, in Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon, when the older Time Lord relates the events of The War Games when asked about the Doctor and the Master, that is clear evidence of who the Master is/was.

(I'd also like to add that the poster who said "FASA is the only source" was clearly not being truthful.)

But, the actual point was if we go with "According to one account..." Well, the ONLY ONE account who has two separate characters called 'Koschei' and 'Magnus' is Divided Loyalties. And if we use that, we have to point out that the Doctor fails to recognise the name 'Koschei' in The Dark Path. Yes, DW has contradictions, but the point is that this one obviously contradictory piece of "evidence" somehow "trumps" everything to the contrary. If this wiki has no problems having, say Legacy of the Daleks, Doorway to Hell and The Two Masters all in one page; or First Frontier, Dust Breeding and The Eight Doctors all in one page; or The Glorious Dead and The Forgotten all in one page; or The Dark Path and The Deadly Assassin all in one page; or... well you get the point. There are multiple contradictory accounts of the Master's life all in a single article. There is clear in-universe narrative evidence that Kreer from First Frontier and Seta from Dust Breeding can not possibly be the same character. And yet, they are...because DW has contradictory accounts, and this wiki apparently doesn't come down on one side as judge and jury.

Except in this case very clearly is doing that. Or rather, a small group of people on this wiki are. Because there is clear and unambiguous in-narrative evidence that the War Chief IS the Master. Period. Yes, there is also Divided Loyalties, the ONE account that allegedly states that Magnus=War Chief and Koschei=Master(even though we still need to interpret who Magnus is). yet, if this wiki can have both Kreer and Seta, both the Preacher and Richard the Footman etc. happily co-existing, then the only reason NOT to include the War Chief in this already extraordinarily contradictory tangle, must be someone's personal preference. 197.86.143.51talk to me 07:02, July 11, 2020 (UTC)
 * "(I'd also like to add that the poster who said "FASA is the only source" was clearly not being truthful.)" - I note here that this quote is taken out of context, and I was specifically referring to the Monk/Master connection. Whether or not this is correct I make no comment on, as I believe we both said our piece elsewhere. I'm just correcting the portrayal of this quote for future readers. Najawin ☎  07:09, July 11, 2020 (UTC)

Well, that thread was only about the Master and the War Chief being the same person. In addition you clearly referred to the hypercube that the War King had, which again is a nod to the War Chief, and has nothing at all to do with FASA or "the Monk". 197.86.143.51talk to me 07:13, July 11, 2020 (UTC)


 * I'd just like to add, as the OP of the thread said, that "the Monk" isn't even relevant here. The people who created 'the War Chief' also created 'the Master', and there is clear in-narrative confirmation that the War Chief and the Master are one and the same. Najawin tries to change the issue by saying "Wouldn't that make the Monk the same character?", and the answer is 'No'.


 * Let's make an analogy. Steven Moffat created River Song and Mels. And he told us that River Song and Mels are the same person. Just the same as Dicks/Holmes/Hulke being the same crew who gave us War Chief/Master and telling us it's the same guy.


 * If we go with Najawin, we could have a problem. Because River Song is someone who can regenrate, and can travel in time, but isn't actually a Time Lord(which also completely contradicts Divided Loyalties btw). We also find out that is someone who will be/was/is the Doctor's wife. So, if we follow Najawin's reasoning as to "the Monk" having to be the Master...then that means that River Song is Iris Wildthyme, doesn't it? Well, no, obviously not.  But River Song is Mels is Melody Pond. And Iris doesn't even enter the equation. And the War Chief is the Master. And trying to force something else into the equation ends up giving as "Marinus is Mondos, and the Voord are the Cybermen!" Because, authorial intent, while not valid by this wiki, means something. There was not authorail intent that the Cybermen are the Voord, there was not authorial intent that River is Iris, and there's no evidence of authorial intent for Butterworth being Delgado. But there was obvious authorial intent for River being Mels, and undeniable authorial intent that the War Chief is the Master.


 * There's also an abundance of in-universe narrattive for it as well. 197.86.143.51talk to me 07:55, July 11, 2020 (UTC)

Image categories
Hey! Just saw that you removed Category:The Test of Time comic story images from the various images originating in that story? How come? Had I done something wrong when creating the cat? --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  01:49, July 16, 2020 (UTC)

New policy or something?
Could a new policy, or something, be created when it comes to condensing threads. Several times I have seen you posting reminders about no personal attacks - when in reality your complaint is about (and I quote) “people interpret others' posts, re-explain something they posted multiple times above, and accuse others of misinterpreting them.“

None of that is, at least the way I see it, personal attacking someone - and so I often ignore your reminders, as I know that I haven’t personally attacked anyone.

If your complaint is that a discussion is getting too long-winded perhaps a policy about that could be created, but the way I see it nobody is going to listen to accusations of personal attacking others if no personal attacks took place. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎  20:06, July 23, 2020 (UTC)

personal attacks
Multiple times you have posted your warnings right after I’ve said something - and it is clear that the warning was directed at me, despite far worse being said above. That, I take as a personal attack as it makes me feel extremely singled out.

This is the perfect example; you single out my comments (which I do not deem as personal attacks in the slightest) but completely ignore Scrooge’s comment on the discussion earlier to this recommending me purchase a dictionary due to a difference in interpretations... which, while I didn’t find it as a personal attack at the time, was far worse than anything I said. This is the exact same thing as the complain I made against Najawin (which you still continue to ignore) where a mistake I made was followed by the comment "anyone literate past high school English should know this".

It is incredibly frustrating to be tip-toe’ing around challenging people who are trying to control the discussion. On one discussion I was told that I wasn’t allowed to challenge ‘Monk’ as it would go against T:BOUND and then, after I created another discussion to address this story individually, I was told that I couldn’t as I the original thread would be used to define the releases. How could I reply to that without saying exactly what I did? That I personally found it to be this individual controlling the topic.

Also, while some threads - like the Lockdown thread which reached 500 comments - couldn’t be resolved by an admin any sooner (as I feel like there’s far too much to unpack). There’s some discussions (like the Monk discussion) that has had been left open for months and months despite all the required information having been presented a long time ago and nobody else showing interest to join in. So i don’t think it’s any wonder that a topic, which I view as so easy to rule upon (it was literally stated to be an unused draft of a novelisation instead of a short story itself - and so should be found on the novelisation page) would reach so many comments when it’s being left hanging after all information and viewpoints have already been said and are now just being reinforced. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎  20:30, July 23, 2020 (UTC)
 * ” You do not get to complain that my posts are not specific and then complain when I do get specific.”
 * And when exactly did I do this? My complaint was that you very often post personal attack warnings right after I have said something despite there having been worse said earlier (and I can provide multiple instances if you like). This feels like singling out, maybe it is because I don’t notice it happening to others - but I very much doubt it.
 * I completely understand that admins are busy, but I don’t accept your complaints that certain threads are too long - because a lot of the time they reached their natural end a long time ago and are only getting longer because they’re not being resolved. The Monk discussion is a perfect example; all the unique points were posted over a month ago and nobody has shown an interest to join in, but it still hasn’t been closed and therefore just gets longer with people reinforcing the same points.
 * And personally I’d appreciate it if you didn’t use foul language directed at me or on my page, thanks. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎  22:39, July 23, 2020 (UTC)

The personal attacks rules are extremely strict. The other month I was in a discussion with another user who made such a confusing comment that I suggested they hadn’t listened to the story in question. For this I was warned against personal attacks, so I messaged the admin and explained why I thought they hadn’t listened to the story - and was blocked.

Yet, the same admin suggested I hadn’t listened to a story once (which I still have evidence of) and nothing happened to them. Is it a case of one rule for one? We’re not made of glass - there’s a big difference between a personal attack and a mere comment.

Well... this is the same site that blocked me for over three months for adding that Yasmin Khan was Pakistani (as apparently it was a spoiler) so I can’t be too shocked. Xx-connor-xX ☎  22:49, July 23, 2020 (UTC)
 * It was intended to be a reply to @DiSoRiEnTeD’s proposed changes to the personal attack policy, I must have added onto the one beneath.
 * I’m over it now, but you were the admin in question. I suggested another user hadn’t listened to a certain story, and you warned me against it. So I came to you and explained why I thought they hadn’t listened to the story, and you blocked me without the ability to edit talk pages so I couldn’t challenge it.
 * If a user makes a statement such as, I don’t know, “Who is Ruth Clayton?” or “Who is the Fugitive Doctor?” then I think it is perfectly acceptable to suggest that said person hasn’t seen the episode. This user in question made a similar statement about an audio which, at the time, made me think that they hadn’t listened to the story. I don’t believe I was rude or disrespectful, I just pointed out that they shouldn’t be joining in a discussion about something they haven’t listened to, and you warned me against it. Then I came to you to explain myself and you blocked me.
 * I thought discussions with admins would have been free reign to discuss potential rule breaks, but obviously not? Xx-connor-xX ☎  23:23, July 23, 2020 (UTC)

Closing How Many Monks?
Why was the How Many Monks discussion closed? I was not "Trying.." anything. It was a valid discussion. Where in 4-Dimensional Vistas is any character called "the Monk"? Where in 4-Dimensional Vistas does any character dress like a monk? And that goes on and on. eriously, I'm just trying to understand the reasoning behind having The War Chief and Magnus (Flashback) being two entirely separate articles, whereas a variety of contradictory "Meddling Monks", "Mortimuses" and "Time Meddlers" are all on one page, especially since there is no clear narrative to link them all as a single character. I have read threads, and this wiki's Rules, and I'm still none the wiser.

If this article's basic Rules are : 'Tardis Data Core has a self-contained headcanon, and all articles must reflect', I can happily accept that. But as it is, I(and I'm sure others) simply don't know. As the Rules appear to change as it suits any relevant issue. How much information is enough? If, hypothetically speaking, a character sees "a man with curly hair and a long scarf, an attractive blonde woman, and a robot dog", have they just seen the Fourth Doctor, Second Romana and K9? Or would this wiki only reflect what the text says?

If one story tells us that the Doctor had a friend at the Academy called "Magnus", and then another story has a section at the Academy, where the Doctor has a friend called "Magnus", is that the same Magnus? And, if not, why?

And, following that, if a Time Lord called "Mortimus" appears, and it made explicit he never knew the Doctor from Gallifrey...and then later a Time Lord called "Mortimus" appears, and it is made explicit that he was at the Academy with the Doctor, and the two were good friends, are those two characters called "Mortimus" now the same character? And, if so, why?

If Rose mentions visiting "Justicia" in a television episode, is that necessarily the same visit in a recent novel, if she doesn't mention the specifics of the visit?

Again, in my opinion, this wiki seems to be very inconsistent about what is enough to either accept or disqualify two references/stories as meaning the same thing. I have read through pages, and it seems inconsistent to me. 197.83.246.23talk to me 09:01, August 1, 2020 (UTC)

Non-existent Marie Celeste
I see you have reversed my correction to the cartoon of Doctor Who on board the Mary Celeste. The name of the ship described on this site, and as depicted in the TV episode, was Mary Celeste. It was a real ship, and Mary Celeste was its name in real life. Marie Celeste was the name of a fictional ship in a short story written by Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle's story was based on the true events surrounding the disappearance of Mary Celeste's crew, but he added a great deal of imagined detail and (probably accidentally) named the ship Marie Celeste. As the Oxford Dictionary says, "the form Marie Celeste was popularized by an account written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1884, and is now commoner in allusive use." This site really ought not to perpetuate this misunderstanding. I suggest the correction be reinstated. 109.156.71.8talk to me 20:49, August 14, 2020 (UTC)

Your website is a waste of existence
So, a while back, I tried starting a discussion on the Panoptiocon, explaining how it was clear from the original target novels that the character referred to as The War Chief is the same character as The Master. I spent a lot of time and effort to present the case. At which point a person went out of their way to derail the entire discussion. And the the kicker, you simply closed the thread and said "There's enough evidence against the Master being the War Chief.." without actually mentioning even one thing. Later, after discovering that the character of "Magnus" from the DWM comic Flashback was treated by this wiki as an entirely separate character as the character "Magnus" from Divided Loyalties, as there was apparently "not enough information to link them", I asked a serious question.. Namely "What narrative material is there to link the character called the Time Meddler in 4-Dimensional Vistas to the character portrayed by Peter Butterworth on television in the 1960's"? After all, this article states on the 4-Dimensional Vistas article " It was the first story to feature the Monk after his final television appearance in 1966." Even though, no character called the Monk appears in 4-Dimensional Vistas. So, simply..what narrative links this character to this "the Monk"? And again, instead of any answer, you simply locked the article and stated "And I'm not going to repeat myself here..." But repeat WHAT? You gave no valid reason for locking the first thread. So, it is simple, this wiki has nothing to do with what "narrative states". No, this wiki is ENTIRELY your personal head canon. Whatever your own personal fanfic is, that's what "counts". The exact same thing that disqualifies "Magnus" who was friends with the Doctor at the Academy from one story being the same character as "Magnus" who was friends with the Doctor at the Academy in another story...SHOULD annihilate any chance of Peter Butterworth's character from The Daleks' Master Plan being the same character as the renegade Time Lord in 4-Dimensional Vistas? So, what's the difference? Simple. YOU don't want Magnus to be the same character as Magnus. Whereas YOU want to outright LIE and say that a character called "the Monk" appears in 4-Dimensional Vistas, when that clearly NEVER HAPPENED. As such, this is not a "Fandom" website. It's more like your personal fanboy website. And after all that, you never gave one single example of this "enough evidence against the Master being the War Chief", because we all know that you have absolutely nothing to back up that statement. All you have is the ability to lock pages when they get too problematic for you, and create clashes with your fanfiction. As such, you can keep this wiki. And you can keep your silly little fanboy "canon".

And to summarise: 1) There is no character in Doctor Who called "the War Chief". 2) The FIRST TIME that there was ever a character in Doctor Who called "the Monk" was in The Book of Kells. 3) Edward Brayshaw and Roger Delgado were playing the exact same Time Lord. 4) Peter Butterworth's character wasn't even supposed to be a Time Lord. Because Time Lords didn't even exist until 1969. 5) Whoever Rufus Hound is performing very badly as in Big Finish Audios, it can't possibly be the same character that Peter Butterworth played on television in the 1960's.

And, oh yeah, NO CHARACTER CALLED "THE MONK" APPEARED IN 4-DIMENSIONAL VISTAS.

This website is one big lie after another, all stitched together with ignorance, arrogance, and bullying tactics. Goodbye forever. 12:46, August 30, 2020 (UTC)

Re: Why do my threads keep getting removed?
I agree with your assertion that users can't learn from their mistakes if a mod corrects it for them. But I must also point out that outright deleting the thread with no word isn't in any way helpful either. Even now, I'm not entirely sure what rule(s) my threads violated because nobody has directed me to the problem, which just leaves me free to making the same mistake again and again.

Incorrect licensing
I noticed you deleted the two images I uploaded "File:Tom Baker Rasputin Nicholas and Alexandra 1971.jpg" and "File:Call of Duty WWII Drostan Hynd David Tennant.jpg" due to having the incorrect license. Which license would've been the correct to use as neither are from BBC licensed productions? --EpsilonGamma ☎  04:56, September 8, 2020 (UTC)

Spoiler?…
Hey!

You edited a mention of a certain series' title out of my forum post on the Dalek Prime thread. I won't repeat it here until you explain more clearly, but… are you sure? This series has in fact started release. Several stories that are part of it, most notably Defender of the Daleks, have already been released, and consequently, although the main page itself still contains spoilers, it is linked to, freely, on non-spoilered page in the main Wiki namespace. Like an ongoing season of the TV series, in fact.

So I don't really see why mention of the title should now be taboo in the forums? --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  15:44, September 9, 2020 (UTC)
