Recent redirects
Thank you for your recent additions. However please keep in mind that not all the redirects need to be created, and some may refer to specific Doctors or more correctly to Aliases of the Doctor rather than just the Doctor, others seem pointless creations as they have no links to them (and no explanation in the summary). --Tangerineduel 15:59, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Category: Series 1 individuals
Just informing you this category will be removed and the articles added removed from the category. Categories are added to in-universe characters by in-universe qualities, rather than external out-of-universe categorisations. Thanks for your contributions. --Tangerineduel 14:29, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Arc
Well...no. The way that you're using arc is just using it in place of the previous category. Story arc is more of a group of similar ideas throughout its arc see Category:Story arcs for examples of what is defined as an arc. I'm going to have to say no, and again revert the edits (sorry).

Just by saying arc doesn't make it in-universe, all the arcs in the story arc category are stories, rather than characters.

If you wish to discuss this with the community at large you could post a topic on the Forum:Panopticon so that it might be discussed.

Also on the practical side of things, if this were to be implemented the categories would grow to be massive and end up mirroring the individuals sub-categories we have in place at the moment. As it would have to include all the TV stories, audio dramas, novels, novellas, comic strips, short stories, spin-off media, and everything. Which as I've said would be doubling up quite a bit on the categories we already have in place. --Tangerineduel 04:06, 16 April 2009 (UTC) '''Note from Bigredrabbit, himself

I have stopped adding to Tenth Doctor Arc Individuals for the night, I will add more tommorrow''' --Bigredrabbit 05:24, 16 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Umm...No. It isn't an arc. An arc has an over arching...arc. There are ideas and themes that flow through the arc. Such as the Black Guardian Trilogy, the Cat's Cradle arc or Key to Time arc, these share ideas and themes throughout their arc. What you're doing with the categories is just the same as you did previously, it's putting them into a category and calling it something else, but thematically with regards to story and theme there has been nothing changed.
 * Edits will be reverted, as I said if you wish to discuss it with the community on this wiki put a topic on the Panopticon. --Tangerineduel 10:08, 16 April 2009 (UTC)



Infobox - Next story
Hi, the infoboxe's next story placement if with regards to the next broadcast TV story, to add other placement ideas add a Timeline section see Survival or The Sands of Time, there is also information about it in the Format for Television Story Entries (a link to which can be found on the Tardis:Manual of style page. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:49, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Rumours and Unbroadcast info
Please restrict any information relating to unbroadcast material to the 2009 specials page or The Waters of Mars page. Speculation should not be added to any articles other than these two (and even then the speculation should be backed up with a reference. --Tangerineduel 14:49, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: Continuity
I think you're getting continuity and references confused see: Tardis:Format for Television Story Entries (which should be read before editing any articles, it's within the Tardis:Manual of style page) for more detailed information. Additionally, the lists are not favourable as they do not put their information into context. The references do not need to include main cast such as the Doctor & companions etc. See an article page such as Remembrance of the Daleks. The information is integrated rather than just a list. Your edits were most likely removed because of the confusion that having two 'continuity' sections caused (as continuity is used on all story pages), and the lack of context and informaiton that the lists brought to the article. Hope this clears this up. --Tangerineduel 13:46, 10 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. Adding Appearances rather than continuity still does not add anything contextual to the page. Please see Tardis:Format for Television Story Entries for information on how the story pages are set out. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 13:57, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Again I see you're adding an 'appearances' section to article. Please do not add these sections, they will be removed. --Tangerineduel 11:53, September 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * As I have previously stated a list doesn't add anything to the article. Placing that information within context assists the readers in reading said information. However if you feel strongly about this please add a discussion topic to the Forum:Panopticon so the community that edits on this wiki might discuss your suggestion. --Tangerineduel 06:58, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

Spacing in Articles
Please do not add vast amounts spacing to articles, it looks untidy, please read the manual of style if you wish to continue editing. Thank you Bigshowbower 02:37, September 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, just looking over your edits (in response to Bigshowbower's comments). The old addage 'if it's not broken don't fix it' applies to the infoboxes on the story article pages. The spacing doesn't need to be moved or altered, it will not affect the on-page appearance of the infobox by altering the spacing within the infobox. Though moving around the spacing does sometimes lead to information being removed or spacing being affected elsewhere on the article. Additionally as Bigshowbower has mentioned there does not need to be large spaces on the articles it affects infobox placement, other tag placement, quote placement and causes readability issues for both logged in and non-logged in readers, Thanks.

Born Again
I have reverted your page move. Such a page move requires consensus. You should read the discussion on the Children in Need Special and seek consensus before attempting such a move. We've already discussed it and the only source for this title is that one book, and even Doctor Who Magazine has stated that it's likely an error. Davies himself doesn't even use this title. A move to Pudsey Cutaway might be conceivable as that's an alternate title often used, but Born Again is only used in one book and despite who publishes them books are not always considered 100% authoritative. Otherwise I have a book that says Terry Nation created Doctor Who and Barry Gray composed the theme. 23skidoo 14:35, September 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Re-reading this, my tone in the above was a bit snarkier than was intended - I beg your pardon. One of the tricky arts about online forums (and e-mails) is writing messages that don't come off sounding, well, snarky. 23skidoo 02:30, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

Definition of an 'invasion'
Please consider the title of conflict articles when naming them. An invasion is a particular style of conflict that does not specifically apply to all conflicts. --Tangerineduel 12:53, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
