Hi! I'm Nate, and I'm a huge nerd. Nothing is canon, but Faction Paradox is canoner than NuWho. Paul Cornell still hasn't gotten back to me about how much he'll charge for the license to the maid from Timewyrm: Revelation, but when he does, the spinoff will definitely satisfy the four little rules. Obverse Books is the best current publisher of Doctor Who, and I will challenge you to Rock Paper Scissors if you disagree.

Disclaimer: I am aware of T:NPA, and I never intend to attack anyone through what I say on this site. If any reader takes unintended offense at anything I say, I sincerely apologize; feel free to contact me about it and I'll retract the perceived insult at earliest opportunity.

Things I'd currently like changed on the wiki
Big thanks to all the admins who have helped with things on this list!

Links moved

 * War King should be renamed The War King for the same reasons that we have The Doctor, The Master, The Monk, and The Rani.
 * Mortegathoth vel-Dvora should be renamed Mortega, since that name is only given once, he's pretty much always just called "Mortega" or "Thoth", and there's no need to disambiguate the page (ie, per the precedent of Ace McShane being a redirect to Ace).
 * Kresta Ve Coglana Shuncucker should be renamed Shuncucker, since she changed her name to just "Shuncucker" after joining Faction Paradox, everyone calls her just by that name, and there's no need to disambiguate the page (ie, per the precedent of Ace McShane being a redirect to Ace).
 * Dracula should be renamed Vlad III, and Dracula (fictional character) should be renamed Dracula or Kristoff Alucard. (Kudos to CoT to doing a lot of link-fixing for this!)
 * Yssgaroth's universe should be renamed Spiral Yssgaroth, since that's its proper name (given by The Book of the War).
 * Chapterhouse should be renamed Chapter, since "Chapterhouse" is only used in PROSE: Lungbarrow, and everything from TV: The Deadly Assassin to Extremis has called them "Chapters".
 * ... after the above change, Great House should be renamed Chapterhouse, and User:NateBumber/Sandbox2 should be renamed Great House.)

Links not moved
The links haven't been moved in these cases because the original address should be left as a redirect.
 * The Remote should be renamed Remote, per precedent against using unnecessary "the"s, and since it's usually an adjective (ie, "a Remote soldier" or "part of Remote experiments" is used far more often than "one of the Remote").
 * Sabbath should be renamed Sabbath Dei to disambiguate from Sabbath (Movers).
 * Big Finish Bernice Summerfield series should be renamed Bernice Summerfield (series), since Big Finish is the only company to have ever published a series called "Bernice Summerfield", and we have the precedent of Iris Wildthyme (series) and Faction Paradox (series).

Deletions

 * Everything from Second Doctor (The Brain of Morbius) to Eighth Doctor (The Brain of Morbius) should be deleted, per this (admin-approved!) discussion.

Mergers

 * Interference - Book One (novel) and Interference - Book Two (novel) should be merged into Interference (novel) (eg my Sandbox), per this discussion.
 * Virgin Bernice Summerfield New Adventures should be merged into Virgin New Adventures: see Merger with Virgin New Adventures and User:NateBumber/Sandbox4.

Policy

 * The Infinity Doctors should be recategorised as main universe and The Infinity Doctors universe should be deleted, per Thread:209497.
 * The way we treat audio adaptations like Oh No It Isn't! and Cold Fusion and TV adaptations like Human Nature is completely inconsistent with the way we treat prose adaptations like the Target novelisations, all of which are segregated with the (novelisation) tag instead of the (novel) they deserve. This is a blatant violation of T:NPOV. Especially considering that, to legions of Classic fans in the pre-CD era, the novelisations were the official stories, I think it's time that we give them equal standing.
