Hello to everyone. I've been fan for a long while, and this wiki lets me indulge in a slightly obsessive passion.

I can get a bit obsessive and methodical and usually start with one page in a line (of novels/audios/TV stories) and then focus on one portion of it (like the external links or the images), go through a long line and fix just that, and then go and fix the rest. (Which is why the Virgin New Adventures, BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures, Virgin Bernice Summerfield New Adventures and the Big Finish - Bernice Summerfield Series have a hand or two of mine in their (individual page) creation/major work.

I've also been working to make sure that any novels, audios and TV shows all conform to the Manual of Style.

Recent Work/Favourite Additions

 * One of my favourite recent additions is The Doctor Who Cookbook which is actually sitting on my shelf, one of the oddest pieces of Doctor Who publishing...with some quite good recipes.
 * The Alcohol, Tea, and Coffee pages which I'm also quite happy with (and all the useless knowledge they bring).
 * Also I'm quite pleased with The Dark Dimension, mainly because it's all accurately researched with proper referencing and all that jazz.

Quite recent work
Having read and worked on all the BNAs and novel length BFBSs (that sit on my shelf at least), I'm reading through the EDAs once more and going through the articles again to add more content.
 * I did recently try to read The Eight Doctors, having thought it might have got better after leaving it for a while. Nope, it's still horribly written filled with continuity references, references to Terrance Dicks own novels and the characters are almost completely one dimensional and often out of character in any case. How this novel was expected to hook in the new readers I don't know.

Other Wikias I've frequented

 * Hitchhikiers Wiki (Trying to get over 100 articles, though I spend more time here at the TARDIS Index File than anywhere else)
 * Futurama Wiki (Actually this one I just stopped in to have a look and couldn't help but do a tiny bit of editing).
 * The Babylon Project (Again more like the above, though occasionally it'll be more than a stop in)

Other Info

 * I don't care that much about rumours, supposition or any wanderings on the net and elsewhere.
 * Articles need to be written from actual sources ie; Rumours don't count as "sources".
 * I'm no great fan of copying huge chunks from wikipedia, the point (as I see it) is to be creating something unique here, not just a copy of any given Wikipedia entry.


 * Spelling...please check before creating a new article, it makes me want to bash my head against my desk seeing bad spelling in the titles, I'm sure it says somewhere to check your spelling before creating a new article.
