User talk:DENCH-and-PALMER

'''Welcome to the Thanks for your edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki, so let's get them out of the way first. British English, please We generally use British English round these parts, so if you're American, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card. Spoilers aren't cool We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details. Other useful stuff Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:
 * the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
 * our Manual of Style
 * our image use policy
 * our user page policy
 * a list of people whose job it is to help you

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial

NOTVALID appearances
Hey! I deleted the "list of NOTVALID appearances" pages you created. First of all, a change like that should be brought up on Board:The Panopticon first. But also, I think those lists miss the point of the NOTVALID prefix. Does the Master really appear in The Curse of Fatal Death? No, a parody of him does. Does the Second Doctor appear in Devious? No more than in any fanfiction. There's a reason some sources are valid and some aren't, and those lists undermine that. I hope that makes sense.  P&amp;P  talk   contribs  00:57, December 17, 2015 (UTC)

Oh Ok, I understand, maybe we should have a list of NOT VALID things, so people like myself can see what is NOT VALID in this wiki?

Moving pages
Howdy! Thanks for trying to help by moving pages, but it's important that you please stop immediately. The parenthetical expressions after titles have been worked out after years of discussion and agreement amongst our members. They're also deeply embedded into several templates, and you can't just make up your own phrases like (Home Video). It'll cause quite a bit of chaos at several unexpected points around the wiki.

For the time being, please immediately stop moving pages. This doesn't mean that we don't want your contributions — of course we need you! — but just stop this one thing for the time being. Thanks :)

Oh, and you might find these pages helpful: T:DAB, T:DAB TERM, T:DAB STORY. IF you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch! 03:54: Fri 18 Dec 2015

Thanks for the comments and I will stop, sorry for the inconvenience.

Categories
Hi there. Please can you stop making categories grouping together "colours" or "with the word invasion". They simply don't serve a purpose on the wiki. Categories should be relevant to Doctor Who itself, grouping together themes seen within the show itself. Thanks. --Revan\Talk 21:00, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

Will do, sorry.

Sorry
That's alright, everyone makes mistakes. No one was made upset by this, so there's no need to feel bad. The only reason I gave you the short block just to stop you adding categories as Revan and I were removing them, and it was not a punishment or anything. I hope that this doesn't stop you from editing with us, as we are always glad of more contributors. :)

I didn't see your message from before, but I'll answer it now. We don't have a list of all NOTVALID content, but we do instead have a list of things that are allowed: Tardis:Valid sources/Detailed list. I think it would be difficult to maintain a list of things that aren't valid, because the things that aren't valid greatly outnumbers those which are: trailers, fanfiction, charity anthologies, reference books, parodies, etc.

One last thing: you should always sign your posts on talk pages. Just put four tildes after your message, like so: ~  P&amp;P  talk   contribs  22:52, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

Don't worry :)

 * Hey. Dench. Can I call you Dench? It's clear that you're eager, and it's clear that you want to help. And that's great! Really, it is. You've shown you're perfectly willing to put a bit of work into your own projects, and you've been experimenting a lot with things like categories and page moving. You're feeling around, trying out your own ideas and applying them to the structures we have here.


 * I just want to say, there's nothing wrong with learning. Every one of us more experienced users can remember a time when we were just starting out, and messing up a tonne. And that's okay. As a new editor, I misunderstood some policies, apparently didn't have the greatest of discussion habits judging by my talk page archives, and got a page deleted which I had spent a lot of time on. My first edit as an IP editor was an attempt to change all the instances of  on the Snowmen page, I believe, into , because I didn't realise those double apostrophes made those episode titles italicised, and I didn't know they were meant to be italicised. I also spent a really long time designing a new Tardis wordmark back when we were looking into new ones, and only later found out about the required dimensions. (Then I spent a bit more time on it and ended up with the image you see in large in my user page.) My point is that we all start out on the wiki not knowing what the hell we're doing. And that's perfectly okay.


 * I can only say, as someone that's been through it, that you shouldn't be afraid to ask us admin questions before setting out on any new missions. I think your enthusiasm is great, and you may prove a great help in the future. Don't be embarrassed to ask first if you're not sure; we'll always give you the information you need, and may save you a lot of work by explaining why your proposed category fails T:CAT NAME, or why that story isn't valid per T:VS. And maybe even by offering up my bot services because you've made a really good suggestion; who knows? But hey, if you mess up, that's what we're here for. That's how you'll get better. We'll link you to the policies, or explain what you're doing wrong, and you'll learn from it.


 * Don't be afraid of the purple links! :P When you see you have a hypercube, assume we're looking out for the best interests of the wiki and of you as an editor, and allow us to guide your energies so they're spent in the most productive ways possible. Nobody's upset that you tried out some category ideas. You experimented, you learned, you found out what you were doing wrong. You listened. That, in my eyes, is a great start.


 * If you stick around, and listen when we explain how things work around here, before you know it all these things will become second-nature to you. I hope to see you grow as an editor throughout 2016; I wish you luck. :) 05:26, December 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks SOTO, I shall keep editing if you wish me too. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  09:47, December 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * You know you should really respond on my talk page. :)
 * If you click on my talk button, next to my name, and leave me a message there, I'll get a notification telling me to read your message. Nice post-signing, though! ;)
 * (Also, keep editing because you want to. This is a community, made of of editors. Find some things you enjoy working on, and have fun doing it!) 13:01, December 23, 2015 (UTC)

T:BOLD / T:LEADS / etc
Oh yeah, almost forgot why I came here. T:BOLD / T:LEADS. when you create a new article, the lead—that is, the first sentence, which typically gives the most important or central piece(s) of information—it should contain the name of the topic (usually the name of the article, with some obvious exceptions) in bold ( bold ).

Bold :P

Before I go into it all, I just want to say that there are standard preloads you can choose from the sidebar, if you want start your article on VisualEditor. You choose one from the list, and it gives you a template for most things you need. An infobox if you need it, at the top when it's necessary, etc. Use what you need, and remove as needed. Great way to get used to things, instead of starting from scratch every time. Especially if you're starting an article about a crew/cast member, you'll want that. It gives you a whole external links section too with IMDb. (If you can't find the person on IMDb, just remove the template.)

Okay, here we go. I'll just make you a lil table of the starts of your articles, and what maybe they could have been instead on the first go.

So in review, some important things to remember:
 * 1) There are preloads. They give you the things you need. Use them when in any sort of doubt. I don't think they appear in VisualEditor, so try to create your articles in the more sourcy editor for now.
 * 2) In the lead, pin-point where the subject is, and bolden it. If you can't pinpoint where the subject is, you're doing it wrong.
 * 3) If it's a real world (not in-universe) article, add to the top, always.
 * 4) Link. A lot. We want people clicking, finding out more!
 * 5) Don't forget to add all your sources. (Story titles always italicised.)
 * 6) when it's a name;  when it's a title and starts with "The".
 * 7) Don't forget categories. Very important. If you're not sure where it should go, do some exploring. Just be wise with categories in general. But every page needs to have one valid category. Policy states, within one hour of page creation. 15:22, December 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you please show you understand by updating the pages which you've created, to the extent that I went into above? I hope you understand things a little better now. :) 15:24, December 23, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks SOTO =D, you're very kind for helping me =D. I'll take it all into account. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  15:30, December 23, 2015 (UTC) DENCH-and-PALMER
 * You're welcome! Come to my talk page if you need anything. 18:14, December 23, 2015 (UTC)

Just a couple of policies
Hey. Can you just have quick browse through Tardis:Italics and Tardis:Don't over-wikify? Thanks.-- 21:41, December 25, 2015 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of this, I shall add italics every time I add a title =D, sorry for the inconvenience Skittles. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  21:44, December 25, 2015 (UTC)DENCH-and-PALMER


 * There is a category - category:policies - where you can find all the tenets (or nearly all) of the wiki. Obviously you can't spend a day reading through them all, but if you ever wonder why an edit is reversed or if you want to know how to go about something, you may find your answer there. Besides that, it might be a good idea to just look at the source code of a few articles just to see how it's done. You're probably sure-footed if you emulate what's gone before. Hope this helps.-- 21:48, December 25, 2015 (UTC)

Images
Hi. I deleted the image you uploaded for a few reasons. Most importantly, there was no license. Every uploaded image has to have a copyright license, which you can choose in the drop-down on the upload page. Just choose the option that best describes the source of the image.

This is really important. Any image without a license will be deleted.

Also, the filename should be descriptive of the image, like "River Gifted her Sonic Screwdriver.jpg". Lastly, its preferred that images have a widescreen aspect ratio, i.e. be wider than they are tall. If you ever want to quickly check the rules, you can see our image policy cheat card at Help:Image cheat card. Thank you!  P&amp;P  talk   contribs  01:45, December 26, 2015 (UTC)

Ok, sorry about that, I'll remember for next time =) DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  10:39, December 26, 2015 (UTC)DENCH-and-PALMER

Category mistake
I've already done it. Thanks for the heads-up.-- 13:37, December 26, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  13:38, December 26, 2015 (UTC)DENCH-and-PALMER

NameSort
What do you mean? Could you give a specific example? Anything that has a first and last name absolutely needs. 21:44, December 26, 2015 (UTC)

Oh, that's okay then, I thought you only did it to in universe articles, it's okay thanks SOTO =D. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  21:46, December 26, 2015 (UTC)

We're proud of you so far! (from the admin team)
Hey, Denchen! SOTO here, on behalf of the admin team.

You've been showing great improvement with your articles, and we wanted to let you know that we're proud of how quickly you've learned and adapted! Great work, honestly, on improving your wiki skills. Congratulations! We do hope you stick around with us. We're always be here for support, and to tell you if you're ever doing something horribly wrong. But that's how you learn, and I trust that you will! Just take in what we say, and keep on learning.

For example: category:Stunt Doubles for the Doctor. We only capitalise the first word (well, that's automatic) and any proper nouns within. That should be category:Stunt doubles for the Doctor, and category:Doctor Who stunt performers absolutely should not be within it, because that's recursion. Don't take this to mean you're reached your peak. You still have learning to do, and we'll be here to help you along that path, watch your edits and correct you when you get something wrong.

But here, you can have a slice of your 2000 cake a thousand edits early, in celebration of your recent improvement. Can't wait for the next thousand great edits until you get to edit 2000! =)

Thanks Guys, and I will take on board the capital letters, thanks for the help, you're all very kind =D DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  10:45, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Kate Stewart
Hey. When you have time, can you recreate Category:Kate Stewart Stories as category:Kate Stewart stories and place it in category:Stories by featured characters. Just keep an eye on capitalisation. Thanks.-- 18:47, December 30, 2015 (UTC)

Will do it straight way Skittles, sorry for any inconvenience. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  18:53, December 30, 2015 (UTC)

Just a quick one, how do you remove the categories? DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  18:56, December 30, 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh, I didn't notice this until now, but I see SOTO has already answered your question below. You should reply on the other person's talk page, by the way, so they're notified of the message.-- 12:38, December 31, 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, I took care of that category move without even noticing this message here. I've got a bot; always come to me, guys. :) 13:41, December 31, 2015 (UTC)

Redundant categories
Best to just ask an admin, rather than acting on it without discussion. Maybe add a tag as well, so it can be discussed. Never remove a category manually without any discussion. That category may not be redundant.

Best to ask me specifically, in fact, because I have a bot, and I can remove categories much more easily than anyone on this wiki but user:CzechOut. What category do you feel is redundant? If you're referring to category:Individual Zygons, that is not redundant. category:Zygons is not a category for individuals, but rather information related to Zygons, much like category:Time Lords. Any pages about individuals do not in fact belong there and should be moved to the individuals category. 02:04, December 31, 2015 (UTC)

Ok, thanks Soto =D DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  10:40, December 31, 2015 (UTC)

Images
Hi! Please remember to always put the appropriate license on images you upload. Just pick from the drop-down. Also, for comic strip images, try to either include the whole speech bubble or crop it all the way out. See our guide to images for some tips on how to get the best possible comic images. Thanks! 00:09, January 1, 2016 (UTC)

Hi
Thanks for letting me know. The editor has been blocked. 16:53, January 2, 2016 (UTC)

Happy to Help =D DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  19:13, January 2, 2016 (UTC)

Silver Doctor
I have explained why I think that there is no information how the Silver Doctor looks on the talk page of the article. I may, of course, be wrong. If I am, however, I would appreciate it if you could prove me wrong by providing a quote from the text confirming that the Silver Doctor looks like the Eighth Doctor, not simply called like him. As I mentioned on the talk page, the Silver Doctor does sound like a Doctor, but "look-alike" is explicitly appearance-based, not voice-based. I also propose not to change the page until we reach a consensus on the topic or are both overruled by an admin. Let's nip any hint of edit wars in the bud. ;) Looking forward to hearing your opinion on the topic (and congratulations on the 2000 cake). Amorkuz ☎  21:36, January 2, 2016 (UTC)

Oh, sorry pal wasn't aware of this. Though I agree with you, how about a category for those that sound like the Doctor? =D DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  21:39, January 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * I actually thought about it myself. But I am not brave enough to create categories. I wouldn't at all mind it created. And that's a fitting description of the Silver Doctor. Amorkuz ☎  21:42, January 2, 2016 (UTC)

Would you mind if I created it? I know there are other Sound alikes of the Doctor =D DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  21:44, January 2, 2016 (UTC)
 * I think you should bring this one up in the forums if you really think you have a case for such a category. I think it would fail T:CAT NAME, though. People will use it for any characters voiced by a Doctor actor, rather than for characters explicitly intended to sound like him. And how could you prove that? I'd like to see some of your examples. Remember, there need to be at least 3 pages in a category, and the category name needs to be clear. 00:04, January 3, 2016 (UTC)

Master pic
Absolutely! My only question is, what is the source of the picture? I thought The Sixth Doctor: The Last Adventure didn't have individual episode covers. 21:24, January 3, 2016 (UTC)


 * That's alright. Landscape is strongly preferred, but it can be tricky to achieve with audio images, and the picture won't be in the infobox. Just get as close as you can. 21:57, January 3, 2016 (UTC)

Lego Dimensions image
It's not necessary for the image to show anything from the DWU. That's the cover the makers went with, and we should use it.-- 22:25, January 4, 2016 (UTC)

Use of forums
Hey, could you take a look at T:FORUM and T:DISCUSS?

Tardis Wiki forums are not for general Doctor Who discussion. They're for discussion relating to the editing of this wiki—and only admins may start new threads at The Celestial Toyroom. If you want general Doctor Who discussion, there's plenty of places online to do that. We at Tardis recommend Gallifrey Base. Thank you. :) 20:48, January 5, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry pal, I assumed that's what it was for, sorry for the inconvenience. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  20:50, January 5, 2016 (UTC)

Image licenses, again
This is a reminder that every single image you upload needs a copyright license. Please go through and add the appropriate licenses to all of the files you've uploaded. If you do not, they will be deleted. 21:37, January 5, 2016 (UTC)

Will do, sorry for the inconvenience P&P DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  21:39, January 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * Go to the file page, "File:Whatever.jpg", and click edit. Then, put the relevant template in the textbox. For most of these, it will be, just like that with the curly brackets. If you need a more specific template, the whole list is at Category:Copyright templates. 21:49, January 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yup, just like that. Please make sure there are licenses on all of the files you've uploaded. 22:01, January 5, 2016 (UTC)

New categories
Hey. Please stop creating frivolous categories like Category:Individuals who have been inside the Doctor's TARDIS. Unlike a single page, categories are difficult to clean up, so you have to use discretion when creating them. From now on, if you're going to create a category with more than fifteen members, bring it up on the forums first. 21:31, January 7, 2016 (UTC)

Oh, sorry P&P, I hope I haven't caused any inconvenience, though what about a category, Individuals who have been inside the Doctor's TARDIS but aren't companion? DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  21:34, January 7, 2016 (UTC)

What NOTVALID means
Thanks for your edits around the old "Dr What" comic. Although your work is appreciated, it had to be wholly deleted. See, NOTVALID means that the work can't be used to write in-universe articles, but that is otherwise licensed by the rights holders. For instance, The Curse of Fatal Death can't be used to write in-universe articles, but the BBC produced it. So it can have a page here, as long as the page clearly indicates its invalidity.

Something like "Dr What" is different, though, because it never had BBC approval of any kind. It's not Doctor Who in any sense. It's a parody made without BBC sanction. And we just flat-out don't cover that kinda thing.

Lest you think that we've lost some early bit of important DW history, understand that the definitive work on early comics, The Comic Strip Companion: 1964 – 1979 doesn't mention it at all. I'm afraid you may have been swayed a bit by Altered Vista's overly enthusiastic representation of it. It's really not even a blip on the radar of early DW comics. It's just another in a long line of British parodic pieces that are legal under UK law, but not at all representative of the property they seek to lampoon. 00:22: Fri 08 Jan 2016

Unlicensed images
I asked you multiple times to add licenses to your uploaded images. Because you haven't done so after more than enough time, I'm deleting them pursuant to T:UNLICENSED. 13:12, January 8, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry PandP DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  13:56, January 13, 2016 (UTC)

Articles about DWM articles
Tardis is not looking for pages about individual DWM articles, which is why The Doctor and the Daleks was deleted by PicassoAndPringles. Please don't recreate this or any similar page. We are looking for the pages about issues to be much better completed. So if you're interested in editing about DWM, please concentrate your efforts in that direction. Thanks! 18:58: Mon 11 Jan 2016

Block
As I've said to you multiple times in the past, every single image you upload needs a license. Clearly you know how to add one, because many of your images have them. After several warnings, I deleted those images uploaded without licenses, and explained to you why I did so. Now, you've uploaded five more screenshots without licenses. I've no choice but to block you to stop your unconstructive behavior, and to impress upon you how important this matter is. As our image use policy says:


 * Copyright licenses are a Big Damn Deal. It is your responsibility as an editor to try to accurately represent the copyright status of every picture you upload. If you're not even going to try, you're not even going to edit.

The block is only for three days, but if you continue to upload images without licenses, the next will be longer. 21:09, January 11, 2016 (UTC)

Hi P&P
I've not uploaded pictures for days to avoid this, I genuinely add a licence every time, whether they disappear is beyond me, I know how to do it, you click the little box the gives you the option to add licence, I do this every time and for some reason the licence disappears, from now on I'll add no more images, though I ask one thing of you, that you remove the block, I'm 3 days away from a badge for contributing to the wiki for 30 days. I swear to you I have added no images since you told me of this, they must be previous uploads, I hope you can forgive me and remove the ban, this wiki is my life and it';s my computer playing up not my mistake. Very sorry buddy. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  21:14, January 11, 2016 (UTC)

Misunderstanding
I didn't mean to turn you off from adding images completely, only to enforce our image policy. I'm not sure why the licenses aren't working for you. If the issue is only happening with VisualEditor's upload tool, you could try uploading from Special:Upload instead.

One other thing: please stop removing from pages that need it, as you most recently did at LEGO Dimensions (video game). Both in- and out-of-universe pages covering NOTVALID topics need the template. 02:49, January 15, 2016 (UTC)

Will do, sorry for removing the tag. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  08:57, January 15, 2016 (UTC)

The Master user
That user has been banned for a few months now. Thanks for the heads up. I'd have done an infinite ban, but I'm assuming there must be some level of good faith involved if they gave their (totally invalid) reason for removing all that. Unfortunately, there is no system in place for IP users to see notifications for their talk pages, so it would be a waste of my time to tell that particular user about T:CAN and T:VS. 09:30, January 16, 2016 (UTC)

Removing invalid template
Once again: don't remove from articles, as you just did at Search Out Space. All NOTVALID articles need this template, whether they be stories or characters. They help quickly identify to a casual reader that something isn't a regular DWU topic. This is the second time you've been told not to do this, and next time it will be a block. 23:07, January 19, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Piscons
Which pages, specifically? 22:49, January 24, 2016 (UTC)

The Piscons
I can't seem to find any information about "The Piscons" online. Do you have a source for their being licensed? 22:50, January 24, 2016 (UTC)

Delete tag
Hi! When you add the delete tag to an article that you feel needs to be deleted, that is all you need to do — just add the tag. Do not blank the page or remove whatever is on the page. Blanking the page creates an extra step for the admin who is determining if the page should be deleted. Please see Tardis:Deletion policy. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  02:41, June 8, 2016 (UTC)

Can you explain what you have changed in this edit to Planet Karaoke and this edit to Quinnis? 18:51, October 1, 2016 (UTC)

I've had to block you for an hour to get your attention. The category you created has been deleted, and I don't have time to clean up all your edits right now, so I need you to stop adding the category to pages. For now, like I said above, stop creating categories until you understand all of our category policies. Your block will expire in one hour. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  15:55, October 7, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry about this, I feel bad... I've read them and understand them. Sorry about this and again I am sorry. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  16:14, October 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * Blocking you for three days since you are still creating categories that several admins have had to delete. When your block is expired, I require you to ask an admin (list at Tardis:Administrators) before creating any new categories.

 * Oh, I was told that categories for companies were alright for example Big Finish crew and Doctor Who crew, I just assumed that BBCi crew would be alright. Oh well, sorry for any inconvenience I've caused pal... I guess this is where I depart but I wish you all the best. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  08:04, October 16, 2016 (UTC)

It's up to you whether you stay or not. There have been many users on this wiki who have been blocked for a short time, learned from their mistakes, and continued editing.

I never said anything about the BBCi categories — if there was something wrong with them, they'd have been deleted, but as you can check, they are still here. You can check your deleted contributions to see which ones were deleted, but they were for various reasons, and deleted by at least three different admins.

Hits of vandalism
Thanks for the heads up. 06:41, October 10, 2016 (UTC)

Stories without an opening theme
I understood. But "stories without an opening theme" would necessarily include all comics and prose stories. Besides which, not having a title sequence is not really notable enough to have its own category. 19:57, October 11, 2016 (UTC)

Anyways I wish you and the admins all the best wishes. Thanks for taking time out to read this Soto, you and the other admins have always been kind to me but especially you. Best wishes pal. :D. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  18:48, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi again Soto, as you may already know I've been blocked to prevent unconstructive editing but I've not been told exactly why. I think it's because of my last category BBCi and BBCi actors, BBCi crew and so on but having read the policies and what I've been told, they don't seem to be "rule-breakers" as they are companies which are allowed such as Big Finish. I was wondering if you'd be able to kindly find out exactly why for me. I'm sure that Shambala108 has not blocked me for no good reason and I'm sure she has her reasons, that again I'm sure are very good. Though I'd really love to know exactly why. Is BBCi category a rule-breaker? And is that the reason for my block? Would you be able to find out why and get in touch pal? I make myself sound like a blurb of a novel. :D
 * Shambala's a she. You've been told multiple times not to create new categories without asking first, and you've gone against that several times. 19:17, October 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay, firstly my apologies for the gender issue pal, I suppose one shouldn't assume these things but I guess I wasn't to know. Secondly, that seems a good enough reason but all I want to say is I'm very sorry anyway, whether or not you want me back is up to you guys but if I am to come back I shall only add existing categories and stay away from the category creating field entirely and stick to what I'm good at... Not Valid stories. Thanks again Soto pal for getting back to me, you didn't have to but you did and that kindness deserves my recognition. I suppose as a person I've always been "tolerated" and the fact you're accepting me in on the Core and letting me edit is very kind. Probably not the best place to say but I was depressed once upon a time and this wiki, and having something to do, was a step out of that, so that's another thank you I owe to the admins and the core. Anyways, best wishes buddy :D. DENCH-and-PALMER  ☎  19:27, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
