Locking user page
The ability to lock/protect pages from editing lies with administrators, and is usually reserved only for pages that have been vandalised or subject to edit wars. I've checked the edit history for your user page and I don't see any recent issues in that regard - unless you're referring to another page. The only reason my user page is locked is because being an admin with a number in my name, I tend to get listed first and from past experience as an admin on Wikipedia I find that sometimes attracts vandals. That said, I know more senior admins frown upon it, so I've actually been meaning to remove the block (which I'll do after I finished this message). Anyway, if you want a page locked down, you need to request it from an administrator such as myself, or Tangerineduel, but just based on the current edit history for your user page, I don't see cause. 23skidoo 21:25, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Set between
Hi, I can see the thinking behind the "set between" in the infobox, however my question is does this "set between" represent a fact or an assumed fact?

Or is it stating something on the back of the novel (as the MAs and early PDAs did) or a guess at where it's set between? --Tangerineduel 13:20, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think the "set between" would be better suited to either within the Timeline section of article as this section deals with placement or the notes section. As the infobox if more about absolutes, stuff like ISBN, Doctor, Series.
 * Additionally we're trying to establish this wiki as an independent wiki separate from Wikipedia. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 20:49, February 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I've had another look through your additions and the wikipedia page.
 * The set between is actually covered by the Timeline section of the article (the Timeline section additionally is standard across most of the wiki), in addition the Timeline section has room to (should we need to) explain the reasoning behind the placement of these novels) and any other information with regards to its placement. See The Twilight Streets for the re-formatted article. --Tangerineduel 12:31, February 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Other wikis don't have to contend with a huge amount of stories that we have to.
 * By adding the set between to the infobox it will by default be an option added to every article. The problem as I mentioned is that being able to explain where it fits helps with actually delivering information. Having the dedicated Timeline section (which as I've said is part of the layout of most story article pages), with it laid out as I've done allows for placement to be explained. Additionally the Timeline section can be used to justify those placements, see The Face of the Enemy for example. --Tangerineduel 13:00, February 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I would encourage you to take up the 'set between' issue in the forums, as I don't see how it gives any relevant information sitting within the infobox, especially when the infobox deals with the that specific novel and the next and following novel. The Timeline section, as I keep saying is a standard format across articles and has the various pre-fixes within it can identify different stories. See something like DW: Journey's End where the Timeline section is able to cover several different series' stories. --Tangerineduel 13:18, February 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * As I have said, and continued to say. The Timeline is a standard feature across most articles that have stories that are between stories. The Timeline presents more information than the "set between" does.
 * The infobox presents information relating to that particular novel (in this case). The Timeline presents information relating to how the story fits in within the greater Doctor Who universe continuity. --Tangerineduel 15:15, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
