NPA
To be clear, the "confused naysayer" comment was deliberately written in a way so as to avoid violating T:NPA, since it specifically avoids identifying any one person or group of people, and I frankly don't consider the words "confused" or "naysayer" to be insults. However, thank you for the warning, and I acknowledge my violation in this way.

However, I (as a user) would like to appeal you (as an admin) to edit T:NPA to make it more clear in this regard, particularly the examples given there, since I'm well familiar with the policy as written, but I didn't think the comment fell into category of insult. I'd just like to know an objective scale, since I've seen other users banned for what they thought weren't violations, and I'd hate to stumble into a similar scenario.

(None of the above is intended to be an attack on anyone, and I deeply apologize any unintended offense if taken by any reader.) NateBumber ☎  15:50, February 27, 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for those links! I read them both and found them pretty interesting, especially the discussion over User:Boblipton. I guess I was just confused about whether my comment fell under the "civil language used to describe an editor's actions" clause, since the word naysayer ("someone who opposes or is skeptical about something") has no negative or uncivil connotation to me. I moderate Reddit's two largest Doctor Who subreddits, with over a quarter of a million users, and I pretty heavily enforce the "don't be a dick" rule over there; I guess the rules here are just a lot harsher, and that's a problem with my expectations. In any case, I'm sure we can agree that my unfortunate phrasing was far from indicative of any negative "discussion habit" - though if you don't agree, please let me know, so I can change accordingly and avoid the fate of Bob and so many recent banees. Thanks again! NateBumber ☎  04:07, February 28, 2017 (UTC)

TARDIS (Hell Bent)
Hi. The merge/deletion tag has been up on TARDIS (Hell Bent) for just over one year (since January 21, 2016) and nothing has happened pertaining to the merge of this article into Clara's TARDIS. I would like to ask, why have you reverted my edits? I did not delete any information, I merely followed policy and redirected this article to the other one, keeping to the consensus established in the merge discussion. This issue has been unresolved for over one year, it's a bit crazy that it's gone on for this long. Regards. NickM98 ☎  04:22, February 28, 2017 (UTC)

Video policy
Hey Shambala108. I see you're now back after a (well deserved and needed, I'm sure) period of absence. I see that a new user has violated the Video policy, and that is has been dealt with. I know is pretty much common knowledge that only admins can upload videos here, but, at least to my view, it is a bit hard to get the idea from the policy page itself.

While there is a warning right on the top of the page, I believe it is something that is very easy to, unintentionally, miss (I must say I myself did not see it until the 5th or 6th time I stumbled across the page). Most, if not all of the text on the page is written as if regular users were permitted to upload videos by themselves (I imagine that it was written when everyone still could, and when the change was decided, no one edited the text).

Phrases such as "This means that you cannot upload a video about something which has not been officially released in its entirety", "but users who upload region-locked video will not be subject to punishment for doing so" and " If the video is allowed by policy, then you should upload and display it on the page" may give the impression that any user can still upload videos. If/when you have the time, it might be a good thing to take a new look on the entire text, replacing "you should upload" for "you should suggest the video at Tardis:Video recommendations", and stuff like that, so we diminish the amount of videos uploaded by users.

Anyway, glad to see you're back. :) OncomingStorm12th ☎  22:47, February 28, 2017 (UTC)
