hey, i noticed that you deleted the "Dark Pit of Rough" page. I had a look at the picture



and i didn't realize that the link to the article name in Happy Deathday was not correct,

sorry about that, but i wish that you could have told me that beforehand, i would have request to delete the article and then move the contents to the right name Sclera1 talk to me 03:54, May 17, 2012 (UTC)

FP deletion
Please immediately stop deleting FP-related stuff. I will take care of deletions once the content has been entirely migrated to the FP wiki. Thanks. 15:55: Tue 29 May 2012
 * Wow. It's not just that you've deleted pages prematurely, but you've edited away FP information pages that still exist here.  You've completely screwed up what would otherwise have been an orderly migration of data from this database to w:c:factionparadox.  Now I have to undo a ton of your edits before I can even move the articles.  You really should have asked what was going on before you assumed you knew what the deal was.  And if you didn't want to talk to people, you could have at least read the forum discussions carefully,  Had you done so, you'd have learned that this effort was about moving articles, not simply about deleting the information.  As a matter of compliance with CC-BY-SA 3.0, I have to actually perform a full on export of the data.  For convenience, it's best to export the version which includes FP information, and then whittle away the DWU info.  So now I have to go back and undo what you've done just to move it.  You've massively expanded the time necessary to complete this somewhat tedious task.


 * You must start involving yourself in the community. I don't have enough hours in the day to continue cleaning up after your deletions which are not in compliance with group discussions.  This is basically a repeat of the timeline deletion fiasco that you visited upon us.  I'm therefore blocking you from all editing for 72 hours to give me time to make the final moves of FP data.  You are also being stripped of admin powers until 7 June 2012.  17:10: Tue 29 May 2012
 * I was able to undo your damage more quickly than anticipated. Your block has been lifted and your admin powers returned.  However, I urge you to please surface from time to time in forum discussions so that you're better apprised of what's going on around the wiki.  19:04: Tue 29 May 2012

Monobook backround
Are you sure you've cleared your cache? I'm editing in Monobook right now and I'm not having any problems reading anything. Could you maybe take a screenshot and let me see what you're looking at? Also, what browser are you're using? If Internet Explorer, note that we don't guarantee compatibility. 13:47: Fri 01 Jun 2012
 * Yes, but the way it's fixed entirely suggests to me that you're on a very old browser and/or IE < 9.0. You should be aware that if you don't upgrade your browser soon, you will increasingly lose functionality.  I can't guarantee that I'll be able to keep design elements that work for your situation — mainly because Wikia itself have recently been more declarative about what browsers they support.  13:57: Fri 01 Jun 2012
 * Even if you're using IE 9, however, complete compatibility is not guaranteed. IE, no matter the version number, isn't supported on this site any longer.  IE has <18% market share these days, and has been in steady, monthly decline since the wiki opened in 2004.  This means that it's peculiarities need no longer be catered for. You have a better shot of being able to see the site with IE 9+, but, still, IE is simply too different from other browsers to guarantee complete compatibility — especially in Monobook, which is offered on an "as-is" basis, anyway.  I strongly urge you to switch to Firefox, Google, or Safari.  Alternately, if you really want to keep IE, you can change your own, personal CSS if you see a problem.   14:31: Fri 01 Jun 2012

Wikipediainfo
Is the wikipediainfo really necessary on Crystal ball? I didn't use wikipedia to write the summary at the top. Or is it just one of those things that you have to use on pages with meta-explanations? Memnarc talk to me 07:25, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

FP stuff
I see at The Enemy that you went through and changed the redlinks to FP stories to interwiki links to w:c:factionparadox. Please don't do this. Instead, rip these statements out of this wiki entirely. FP books and stories are not valid sources any more. As determined by various forum discussions to which I've alerted you in the past, we're trying to delete statements from FP sources — not just keep them around with a different kind of link. If you really feel that a particular statement is absolutely necessary, you can retain it, but put it in the behind the scenes section. Additionally, you should add a statement to the "external link" section of any article from which you delete FP information. Thanks :) 20:23: Tue 19 Jun 2012

Binary
I sort of messed up and after already changing all the links, decided to move Clockwork (The Blue Angel) to Clockwork (species) once I realised that that was the more "proper" place. (I didn't change the links as it was really late) Could you edit Binary to amend that? -- Tybort (talk page) 14:14, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

In case you can't see that number this time, I'm the one who addded to the River Song page and you removed the paragraph (still not sure where  I went wrong), but right now my problem is I can't sign up because my physical challenges make it impossible to, among other things see the blurry words well enough to reproduce them. I couldn't find the accessibility option the sign up page so I'm looking for a bypass I guess. Thanks

Island of Gushing Gold
According to this diff you changed the source for this article to The Dalek Book. That's pretty broad. Would you happen to know which story contained the reference to Island of Gushing Gold? 07:20: Wed 19 Dec 2012

Don't delete videos just cause they're "unused"
I know you love to delete unused files, so I should tell you that videos don't obey the expected rules of file usage. If you go to cricket bat, you'll see a video in the right rail. This video, File:Coming to terms with regeneration - Doctor Who Castrovalva - BBC is actually on cricket bat, regeneration and Fifth Doctor. But being in the right rail doesn't "count" towards the file usage stat, so you get this false positive "no pages link to this image" message.

For this reason, I'd advise that you not delete videos on the basis of the "file usage" stat. You should pretty much assume that every video uploaded is being used somehow, even if it's not readily apparent how. 08:19: Sat 26 Jan 2013

Fireplaces and Infoboxes
Trying to learn more about the markup language, and I don't understand what problem in the info box your edits of The Girl in the Fireplace (TV story) fixed, and I'm having trouble finding a help file to learn more about it. Care to shed some light? Or barring that, send me to a page or discussion that explains it? ComicBookGoddess ☎  19:22, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

Gamma radiation
Re-added a page you deleted some time back, Gamma radiation. Sourced everything, but the fictional behavior is radically different than real world gamma radiation. Added a behind the scenes section, not sure if it's a no-no but I couldn't think of any other way to point out the specific variations between the two. Check it out and see if you have any alternatives? ComicBookGoddess ☎  03:49, March 15, 2013 (UTC)

Edit War at Controller (Bad Wolf)
Hi, I hope I'm right in thinking you're an admin - would you be able to lock the page at Controller (Bad Wolf)? A couple days ago an unregistered user started changing the page around (Controller to Fat Controller, Daleks to Steam Engines, Davros to David, etc.) and since I was on when I noticed it, I changed it back. Now I get a notification every time the page is changed, and the same user keeps making the same edits. I've inadvertently involved myself in an edit war and I'd like it to stop. TARDIStraveler ☎  11:48, March 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bother you twice, but the same user that was vandalizing the Controller page has now started on the pages for Dalek and Supreme Dalek - changing the words Dalek to Diesel Engines. I want to let an admin know, because this guy is being really obnoxious about it, and I don't have time to run around undoing his erroneous edits. His IP is 2.223.154.182. Thank you.

The Heavy Hand of Forum Moderation & Disappearing Discussions
Could you leave links to other community Forums (like The Howling) and Forum archives onto the main Community Forum page? It has been frustrating to me to post questions to the Reference Desk and then returned to find they have disappeared, sometimes deleted and sometimes moved to other Forums that do not appear on the Forums main page.

I can understand why the Reference Desk is so rarely used compared to the Topic Talk pages where I have found friendly discussion and help. But if there is going to be this overzealous policing and shutting down of ongoing conversations in the Reference Desk Forum, there should be an easy way to track down where the *$%+## moderator has moved them. 63.143.217.227talk to me 19:07, April 12, 2013 (UTC)

Zombie Page
Hey, I was just looking at the "zombie" page, and I personally think that it needs some restructuring: first off, the main part refers only to the original zombie from Haitian lore, when in fact the very name "zombie" has since more or less evolved into a general term covering most resurrected corpses. In addition, the second section, "Minor References", is about as vague as it can get. Do you think that we should restructure and improve the article? --Dr. Anonymous1 ☎  14:43, April 20, 2013 (UTC)

Unsigned personal attacks
On the page Howling:Unresolved plot cookies - Series 7 part 2, a user with a variable IP address beginning 63.143... has been making unsigned personal attacks. I've identified the IP addresses from the page's history. As far as I can tell, this user has made no other contribution to that discussion. (Please note that my own IP address changes -- often radically -- each time I connect to the Internet, so I'm not likely to receive any message left on the talk page for my current address.) --89.241.69.58talk to me 01:38, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

Blogs and getting started
Hello, I am getting quite used to this Wikia already, but I've heard of Blog posts. I'd like to hear how to make these, as I've not seen any buttons for it. I'd also like to know which topics are allowed. For istance, if I wish to blog about something completely non-Doctor Who, for instance Harry Potter, would that be okay?

Thank you for your time.

deleted sandbox
Is there a particular reason that you deleted my Sandbox? Anoted ☎  05:04, May 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's been two days since I left this message and I have NOT received a reply (and you have been editing during this time). You deleted a personal userpage of mine and you did not leave me a message on my talk page or even provide an explanatory edit summary. I'm assuming that the page was causing a serious problem of some kind and had to be deleted, because I can't see why my userpage would have been deleted otherwise. I can't figure out why you didn't just blank the page and leave me a message, but that's why I came here. I suspended judgement and asked. Ignoring me is seriously not cool. Anoted ☎  17:31, May 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry about the lateness of my reply. The reason I deleted your page is because userpages are supposed to have the prefix User: and without it they seem to be regular article pages. I will try to be more careful in the future. Doug86 ☎  20:21, May 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * I didn't notice that--somehow it got created without a user prefix...not sure what happened, adding a /Sandbox1 to the url of my userpage should have created it with a user prefix. Fortunately the text of the page was short enough that I was able to rescue it and add it to another sandbox. Anoted ☎  03:11, May 5, 2013 (UTC)

Atropa belladonna
Hi. Why exactly did you delete Atropa belladonna? I'm sure you have a reason, but you didn't cite one and I can't think of any.

I mean, it's named in the script, and I said nothing that not written in it:
 * Is it? Yes. I thought so. Atropa belladonna. Deadly Nightshade.
 * [...]
 * Remember, we brought no food with us and the only water available is that poisoned water out there with Deadly Nightshade.

Oh, and I missed a piece of info: atropine is the poisonous bit.

Anyway, I'm sure there is a reason, but I have checked to the best of my abilities and there is no duplicate anywhere. Or at least I haven't found it yet. --SOTO ☎ 04:09, June 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * The reason is because we already have a page for this at Belladonna. My apologies for not citing the reason for the deletion. Doug86 ☎  04:47, June 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, thank you.
 * But... umm... "Belladonna" is technically an incorrect title, and it's never identified as such in the serial. It's only ever called "Atropa belladonna" and "Deadly Nightshade" (capitalised as such both in my CC and according to ). Therefore, both "Belladonna" and "deadly nightshade" are bad titles. Sure, they can stay as redirects, but the article should rest at either Atropa Belladonna or Deadly Nightshade.
 * I'll put a tag now. --SOTO ☎ 04:52, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Doug You responded to my edits on the page about my grandfather William Hartnell. I'm afraid I may not have done all this in the correct manner as I am a little confused by the systems on these websites! A lot of the information on there was incorrecct and it frustrates me that it appears to have been gleaned from newspaper articles which, I have already pointed out in my biography of my grandfather, are often inaccurate. I have corrected the data with a brief summary but I do somewhat object to the comments (which I haven't yet removed) about my biography being a "hagiography". This was not the judgement of the jounalists from the newspapers who reviewed my book when it was published 16 years ago. Amongst others, the Sunday Telegraph and the Daily Mail gave it very good reviews, implying how unbiased it was. (I'll happily scan in the copy should you so wish me to "prove" this - if there is some way of emailing you these). I'm not sure who the one person in the Doctor Who press is who didn't warm to my biography - perhaps because I staunchly refused to invent information I couldn't verify and I gave personal memories of his involvement in Doctor Who, but I can assure you that all the information in my book came from diaries, letters, programmes, photographs and my mother, who was Bill's daughter, and interviews with people who had worked with him. I object to the inference in the article on this site that "Information is hard to verify" - perhaps this can be removed by yourself as it would seem untrue. It implies I am lying. If that person would like to challenge any specific facts, then they are free to contact me, my work address is easily found on the net.

In the same way, "fluffs" are constantly discussed without any reference being made to the fact that the show was recorded virtually as live with only a couple of post shoot edits. The programme had a 48 week a year schedule, something which would never ever be considered nowadays with such a small core cast, so the pressure on Bill who was in virtually every episode was immense. Is it possible to introduce a note about that into the discussion of the fluffs? I would be grateful.

I had endless problems with the main wikipedia entry where it took me ages to correct the facts of his birth and there ONE person's view was allowed to cloud his biography. One person, who clearly didn't get on with him, claimed he was anti-semitic when Bill in fact adored Carole Ann Ford his first companion AND Verity Lambert, both of whom were Jewish. He may well have been sometimes bigoted (not surprising given the prevailing views of his generation), but he was never so on a personal level and it is unpleasant to have prove things which most of those involved will attest to..

If I need to do something quite different to amend your tardis website, then please do help me do it correctly! ~ ~ ~ ~

 * I deleted it because dab pages for first names generally only used when there are multiple characters which are known only by that one name and no other. Since there are no characters known only as Madeleine, I believed that it was no longer necessary. Doug86 ☎  02:59, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

 * You're not supposed to change a page name by copying a page and pasting it onto a new page; you're supposed to use the move page function. Doug86 ☎  17:42, June 4, 2014 (UTC)

My idea was to end up using the Waitress page as an occupation page. Like Journalist. I just did not have time to do so at that moment. I was moving the information that I deduced was "dab" info to a new page. Then, I was planning to come back today and make Waitress into a proper occupation page. I did not want to move the page, I wanted to split the page. Is that wrong? And if not, may I please revert it to the way I planned to use it?

Ok. Thank you. Also, may I ask a favor? I know I would prefer (and many others too, I'm sure) if you would just give a brief description like "doesn't need separate page, reformat" rather than "undoing Rebazim's edit".

Hey, Doug. I hope you caught the discussion at Thread:156099. I know those "list of crew by " lists were a little project of yours, but the templates on which they were based were just not up to the task. Those pages were monster processor hogs for the wiki, and they were never meant to do the kind of lists those pages eventually grew into. Upper limit on those templates before you start seeing significant processor issues is between 100-200 — far more than the ambition of those pages. So I had to delete them.

If you don't already have an offline copy, you can of course look at a deleted revision with your admin powers and snag a copy there. But please do not recreate anywhere on the wiki, not even on a user page. They're a big drain on the wiki — and, as they grow, they could actually take a bite out of the Wikia network, particularly if multiple people tried to access them at once.

I'll keep an eye out for something more efficient. If I find anything, you'll be the first to know. 16:35: Thu 19 Jun 2014


 * I understand that the sacrifice was necessary, and I appreciate you keeping me informed. I was aware of the processing issues and had heard that the pages were being considered for deletion, but I chose not to contribute to the discussion as I did not consider keeping the pages to be a high priority. I've made a lot of contributions to this wiki, and naturally not all of my ideas are bound to turn out as well as I'd hope; nevertheless, I'm fairly certain that the good contributions I've made outweigh the bad. 00:57, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

Cyber leader help
Hi, I'm not sure how often your mods are, but I posted on the cybermen (mondas) talk page regarding cyber leaders. In the series 8 final, I seem to be the only one who noticed leaders in the ranks of the cybermen, taller, with black corners on handles, was looking for verification, but nobody replied, one was a group of cybermen with a leader, the other was among the three debating with clara and the last I noticed was the brigadier, hope this image works.

Hey Doug! I wanted to stop by and invite you to be a part of Thread:180396, where we're currently discussing if the DWU prefix does or does not well-represent our invalid policy.

Moved pages
Hi! Can you tell me why you had to move the pages Beyond Osterling's Legacy, Carrie O'Grady and Vandermeer (Kronos Vad's History of Earth Vol. 36,379)? I think I know why, but I want to be sure before I message the users who created those pages. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  00:25, October 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * As you've probably guessed, it was to fix the apostrophe on all three of them, from Word to basic text. Doug86 ☎  01:53, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

Dalek and Clara moves
Thanks much for the moves for The Return of the Daleks (comic story) and Clara and the TARDIS (home video). Is it OK to remove the speedy rename templates now?

 * The problem was that you copy-pasted the current Delphon page instead of renaming it; that's not how things are done on wiki pages. Doug86 ☎  06:25, March 6, 2016 (UTC)

 * I think you've been here long enough that it's time to get used to source editor. Editing that way means a lot of cleanup for admin: italics, as mentioned above, as well as infoboxes ending up all on one line. (Sorry, Doug, for putting this here, but the conversation wasn't followed up on their page.) 19:51, October 24, 2016 (UTC)

Cyberwoman
Hey, as you're one of the admins online right now, I though of warning that the page Cyberwoman (TV story) looks very weird right now. It might be a coding bug somewhere, but from half of the plot, that page simply displays senseless stuff. OncomingStorm12th ☎  20:04, October 24, 2016 (UTC)

Change your favourite wikis list
Hi Doug86, you might want to remove the Paul Magrs Wikia from your list of favourite wikis as it basically insults you and all the work you've done at tardis on its front page. CoT    ?  01:27, November 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi. This is the person who made the Paul Magrs wiki. I'm just stopping by (some of) the talk pages TheChampionOfTime has been making these comments on to clarify the concerns s/he has had: You may have noticed that the front page of that wiki refers to the editors of this wiki here as "fascist bastards." That's meant to be tongue in cheek, and not a serious criticism. You may also have noticed that a lot of story pages are shamelessly duplicated from pages on this wiki. That's not plagiarism; I used the Wikia import/export feature to preserve the edit history so that all the authors are properly cited, and the license (CC-BY-SA) is followed.

Hello pal
Hello my good sir.

Minor request... If you look at the speedy renames section, you'll see many pages that need dab terms adding, would you be able to change the names and leave the old ones as a redirect?

Pages such as The Web of Caves, Crime File - The Master (which needs changing from a fanon term) and The Pitch of Fear to name but a few.

It'll definitely keep the wiki tidy and in order, best wishes and a happy new year.

Why'd you delete that article? It's a new version, featuring Ian as a narrator. It's in the same vein as Ian Chesterton: An Introduction. --Pluto2 (talk) 02:56, January 14, 2017 (UTC)

We already have an article about it, and any changes made to the original version can be listed at the article. Doug86 ☎  04:10, January 14, 2017 (UTC)

Page renames
Hey, I'm just stopping by to thank you for renaming so many pages over the last few weeks. Some of them had been sitting in my list of requested renames on my user page for several months, and it's been really satisfying to finally remove them. Hope you're well! – N8 ☎ 17:49, October 25, 2017 (UTC)

Genuine question
Do you have bona fide objections to renaming Torchwood One: Before the Fall (audio anthology) into Before the Fall (audio anthology)? Or were you just making sure things correspond to the current state of affairs? By T:SPOIL, I can't yet discuss why the rename makes sense, but I will be able to in about two weeks' time. Amorkuz ☎  00:25, January 11, 2018 (UTC)


 * No objections, just making sure. Doug86 ☎  04:41, January 11, 2018 (UTC)


 * Glad to hear it. At any rate, I've put the rename template in the meantime, so anyone who does oppose it can voice their opinion. Amorkuz ☎  17:31, January 14, 2018 (UTC)

Infobox Audio Series
Just to let you know that it's a new infobox intended to provide the functionality specifically needed for audio series. Previously, or  were alternatively used and none of them is really fine tuned to represent a series the way  does for television series. I keep minding to right up the documentation for this new infobox. At the same time, I would be grateful for any suggestions of new features and/or improvements. Amorkuz ☎  14:58, February 14, 2018 (UTC)

Recursion
Aww, c'mon. I added the "You may Recursion" to replace the far hokier-looking "For more information on the concept of Recursion, please see here." It's just a classic harmless joke! But I get why you removed it. – N8 ☎ 01:09, March 6, 2018 (UTC)

Renaming articles
Hi, I noticed you renamed the Bootstrap paradox page fairly quickly after I put the request up, so could I request that you also move Castellan (Arc of Infinity) to Jerricho? Only because I don't think that page should be named like that when the character has an actual name. Thanks in advance. Ben Moore512 ☎  20:50, May 2, 2018 (UTC)

Page rename
Hey there, I noticed you just moved Jerricho, and I was wondering if you could do me a favor and rename The Little Book of Absoute Power? There's just a sneaky little typo there -- a missing "L" in "Absolute". All the links have already been moved, but I'm afraid that the redirect I created at the destination page has obscured the idea on T:SPEEDY. If you could just look it over and give it a move if you're willing, I'd really appreciate it! – N8 ☎ 20:29, May 25, 2018 (UTC)


 * Well that was lightning quick. Thanks so much! – N8 ☎ 20:31, May 25, 2018 (UTC)

Voyage to Venus/the New World
Hi. We've had a fair share of edit wars recently and, given admins haven't been that active recently, I have tried as much as I can to not start them/stop them happening (as in, tried not reverting other user's edits more than once/twice). Today, however, a disagreement started between an anonymous user, myself and User:Borisashton. I believe any more "undoings" will mean an edit war (if it hasn't already, in which case a apologize).

Anyway, the thing that's causing the distress is the way information is being displayed on the infobox for Voyage to Venus (audio story) and Voyage to the New World (audio story). Me and Borisashton believe that Jago and Litefoot should be put under the "companion" section of the infobox, while the IP user believes they should go under "main character". When you have the time, I'd apreciate if you, or another admin, could drop by on the talk page of either of these pages, and help clarify the best way of displaying the information, and/or when to use "main characters", and/or any other information the admin team deems necessary and helpfull.

Again, I'm always bummed when things get to a point like this, because I understand you also have pages you'd like to edit, but better to avoid the edit war before it escalates. Thanks. OncomingStorm12th ☎  00:40, May 29, 2018 (UTC)
