Historical features and events
Heya Gus :) Thanks for your recent help in updating pages that have to do with historical events and people.  However, I must ask you to please be careful about pulling information from real world history.  I note, for instance, that you've recently added birth and death dates to Richard I of England.  These dates cannot be supported by the episode (or novelisation) in question.  You should only add information which is explicit (or easily calcuable) from info actually given in a story.  Take a look, for example, at Marco Polo for a clear example of why we should use dates given in stories rather than real world historical info.  Thanks!  01:13:33 Sat 13 Aug 2011


 * I, Davros and Genesis of the Daleks date.
 * I'm a bit puzzled where you're getting 15th century from? There doesn't appear to be anything noted on the story pages to indicate they should be in this category. So, I'm just curious as to where this date has come from? --Tangerineduel / talk 14:17, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Unbroadcast stories
Hey there, sorry to bother you for a kind of trivial thing. The Tardis:Spoiler Policy states that we should not add information from a story that has not yet been broadcast so your recent addition of the Curse of Davros to Davros' appearances, however innocent the edit breaches that policy. On another note, your edits to Big Finish related articles recently has been superb, keep up the good work! --Revan\Talk 21:52, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

I too have been having a Big Finish marathon, I've just finished this years sixth Doctor trilogy and I'm starting Heroes of Sontar today, Big Finish rules! --Revan\Talk 08:48, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Prefixes
Hey, just thought you might want to know that prefixes aren't actually necessary when your not sourcing. In most cases they actually have a negative effect as they break up sentences.-- 20:35, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Human Time Travellers
I've noticed you've been adding a lot of pages to the category "Human Time Travellers" that are already under "Human Companions". "Human Companions" is a sub-category of "Human Time Travellers", so you don't need to add pages to "Human Time Travellers" if they're already under "Human Companions".

Alternative individuals
Hey, this is a good idea for a category, but seeing as it encompasses many thing it would have been a good idea to raise it at the forums first. Do you think you could start a post on it, asking for a consensus on the idea? In the meantime, please remove all the non-canonical individuals (e.g Eleventh Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)) from the category. Thanks-- 16:13, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Don't add the same category multiple times
Each unique category should only be on a single page once. I can quite appreciate that you're enthusiastic to play the Game of Rassilon, but please make sure your edits are actually meaninguful. Placing category:Stories released in 1973 twice on The Amateur does not constitute a meaningful edit. In fact, it's a tiny bit destructive. It makes it slightly harder to use the bot, as the bot expects only one instance of each unique category. This is espcieally true of categories that are added by template. Never add a category to a page which is automatically added by template. To give an example from the Third Doctor comic stories editing track, never directly place category:stories with unknown or disputed Doctors on a page; the template will take care of it for you. Putting it once directly on the page and then again with the template totally confuses bot operations.

If you have been placing other multiple instances of categories on pages, I'd ask you to remove your duplicates now. And in so doing, I've just authorised you to take more easy points in the Game of Rassilon! Is that a deal or what? You get a scolding, and yet you get easy points out of the deal. Can't ask for better than that! 00:10: Sat 24 Sep 2011
 * Oh i wasn't accusing you of cheating. God no; you've been making a heck of a lot of great edits lately!  Just advising you of an obscure but sorta important point having to do with wiki maintenance.  As for whether you actually added the category twice, well, you at least added the second instance.  The 73 cat was already on the page when you added the 73 and 74 cats.  But on to more substantive matters.  Beyond the technicalities of category placement, my real question is when was it released as a Fourth Doctor story?  I can't quite remember off the top of my head.  Was that in 74 as well, or maybe in 75/76?  Cause I suppose that category should go in there too.   00:58: Sat 24 Sep 2011

Top man
Congratulations on being top of the leaderboard. How much time do you spend editing? 16:41: Tue 20 Dec 2011

Just to note
Just to note; please do not adding the full setting into the infobox for stories, i.e. Cardiff, Wales, UK, Earth, 2006. All we need is the exact location - in this case, Cardiff as well as the year.

To anyone who is new and who may not understand how the infobox is laid out - they might think that the episode takes place in all these locations - not just in Cardiff.

Putting anything beyond where an story is set - the Earth, UK bit can be blown out of proportion by someone who adds Europe, Sol System, Mutter's Spiral etc - other wise known as 'added on dribble'. The only needs to have the exact place and date - a few exemption would be other planets.

Speaking of date - there is also no need to add the month and date or era unless it is specific and plot essential to the story - in case of the stories set on Gallifrey, there is not need to say that the part of the episode that takes place on Gallifrey takes place in the Rassilon Era when it is unessential information.

The only time a date should be added to the location is when it is essential to the story - i.e. The Impossible Astronaut and The Wedding of River Song. Thanks. MM/ Want to talk? 20:21, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

Stop
Stop adding UK, Earth to every story that is set on Earth - you only need the location on Earth. Continue to ignore this and you will be blocked for a short period of time. MM/ Want to talk? 20:37, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

Categories
Please do not add categories to actors page when they have not appeared in that franchise yet. This includes adding things like Mark Williams to the category 'Doctor Who guest actors', Noel Clarke to the category 'actor who appeared in the Star Trek franchise' since they have not appeared yet. Once Mark William's episodes airs, then we can add the category and once Star Trek 2 comes out, we can add Noel to the category. This is all part of our Spoiler policy.

Apart form that, keep up the great work! Thanks MM/ Want to talk? 10:50, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Infoboxes
Please can you undo all you edits to the infoboxes which state 'introduction, joins, departs etc'. It has been decided that these will be removed from the infobox, since a forum discussion. Apart from that, keep up the good work! Thanks. MM/ Want to talk? 20:01, April 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's fine, it was just a small discussion with myself and a few others. It includes everything, cameo, regenerates, dies, departs, flashback etc. You are welcome. MM/ Want to talk? 20:13, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Your recent MA edits
Hey, please don't wikify headings. I know people do it, but our manual of style clearly says to avoid it. Moreover, there's no need to manually add disambiguation terms to story titles. There's no particular plan to, for instance, delete the redirect at The Romance of Crime, so you're kinda just wasting your time to change the link to The Romance of Crime (novel). 00:23: Fri 06 Apr 2012
