DWBIT
ok, you've convinced me, i only have one more question, but it is not related to Faction Paradox, it is about the images in the "Battles of Time" comic strips. why have have they been mostly removed? Even the image that is used in the Quarsian article is gone, some of the comic images that were used in the comic's infoboxes have been removed and replaced with an image of the previous story..

Non-DWU/canon categories.
I notice that one of the non-DWU categories still has/was mistakenly added after the mass move "non-canonical", namely Category:Non-canonical Gallifreyans. Is there enough of them to require the page? Or should that be a super-category for Category:Non-DWU Doctors and Category:Non-DWU versions of the Master? -- Tybort (talk page) 21:38, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Randomised feature articles
I do remember those! Sort of. I remember putting 'write some FA stuff' on my to do list and promptly forgot about it / got distracted by the many other things I randomly do.

Just a side question, (though I'm sure you've got everything in hand) the update that's coming for Wikia's MediaWiki, that's not going to cause any major issues is it? I just become slightly concerned about it considering all the changes you've made around here (all good, just worrisome when Wikia update/change stuff). --Tangerineduel / talk 13:59, June 15, 2012 (UTC)

HiFi
HiFi may not be Panda, but he is a stuffed panda. As the Doctor said, "That is the dematerializing control. And that, over yonder, is the horizontal hold. Up there is the scanner, those are the doors, that is a chair with a panda on it. Sheer poetry, dear boy! Now please stop bothering me." As such, I think that a mention of HiFi on the Panda page isn't completely out of line. —Josiah Rowe talk to me 02:47, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the "list of appearances" might be taking things a bit too far. I think that part of the conceit of Panda is the possibility that he might, somehow, be HiFi (perhaps given intelligence and a drinking problem some time after his time with Steven), but it's nothing more than a possibility, and I don't think that there's enough to support it in Iris Wildthyme stories (at least the ones I've heard/read) to justify listing HiFi's appearances in Panda - List of Appearances. I'll put the hatnote back on Panda, though. —Josiah Rowe talk to me 03:10, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I see that you've already done it. (Do you think he's some other sort of stuffed animal?) —Josiah Rowe talk to me 03:12, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, I never thought he was a panda. I mean I know the Doctor says that, but I thought he was just sorta generalising.  It doesn't particularly look like a panda.  Besides, why would a guy from centuries in the future have a panda stuffed animal?  Pandas will be extinct then, surely.  03:21: Wed 20 Jun 2012


 * My daughter has a stuffed dinosaur. And HiFi looks as much like a panda as your standard teddy looks like ursus arctos. I always assumed he was a stuffed panda bear (with the obligatory caveat that pandas aren't actually bears). —Josiah Rowe talk to me 03:37, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Locked template page
On Template:DWTV, The Dalek Invasion of Earth is misspelt as The Daleks Invasion of Earth. Also, should the Night and the Doctor episodes mention the individual parts? And the bit about non-canonical; I'm guessing that should be changed to "we don't cover them" or "these aren't valid sources". -- Tybort (talk page) 11:04, June 23, 2012 (UTC)

Meanwhile in the TARDIS
I've been doing some work on the article for the Meanwhile in the TARDIS mini-scenes, splitting it into two articles to match the format set by the Prequels and Night and the Doctor. Could you check whether I've created the articles properly? In particular I am concerned about whether they should feature the TV Story suffix, and if the numbering is appropriate. The articles are Meanwhile in the TARDIS 1 and Meanwhile in the TARDIS 2. Eladkse (talk) 16:41, June 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * That's one of the things I was concerned about. I don't know how they were/are differentiated on the DVD, but the Internet generally uses 1 and 2. That's why I asked you. :P Eladkse (talk) 17:00, June 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'll bear that all in mind, and get a forum post up when I next get a chance. I would like to point out that some of the things you mention need fixing I copied straight from the Night and the Doctor series of articles, so I think someone needs to look at them at some point just to make sure they comply.

Wiki backdrop
Hey, Czech, would it be cool if I suggested that we change the backdrop of the wiki to include and/or feature Liz Shaw (Or what I really want is Caroline John), I think that would be appropriate. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 10:55, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

Canon policy name
Just a random thought. Would "Inclusion policy" be a better name than canon policy? That name seems to just cause endless problems. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:13, June 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * I totally understand. As I said, it was a bit of a random thought. I've got to start writing more "random thoughts" in text edit and then letting them sit for a day or two to muse on them before annoying other people with them.
 * It all looks good though the valid sources and everything, very easy to understand the big blue boxes, white text and everything.
 * I'm still intending to create do some work on the Article of the Month preloads so there's more, but just haven't really been enthused enough to do anything (I've got to stop going to the Canon policy talk page!). --Tangerineduel / talk 10:22, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

Just to check
So, checking T:VALID about Battles in Time...I'm guessing anything about Daleks that's labelled along the lines of (DWBIT: #1) is not okay, as it doesn't lead to a specific story but non-narrative stuff? -- Tybort (talk page) 12:44, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Likewise, is the Last Great Time War stuff from the Doctor Who Annual 2006 not a narrative? -- Tybort (talk page) 17:57, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Comic-Con
Greetings! You may already know, but Dr. Who will be involved with Comic-Con this year. Wikia will have a physical presence at the 'Con once again, and we've created this badge:

to remind users of this, and provide them with a link to Comic-Con Wiki. There, we will be updating live for the duration of the event with images, info, and exclusives for those users who are unable to be there in person. Would you be willing to allow this badge on the main page here (hopefully at the top of the right column) until the conclusion of the event? Please hit me up on my TALK PAGE and let me know either way so I can add it, or make a note that you've declined affiliation. You're welcome to add it yourself using the code above, but please drop me a note as well so I can track which wikis are participating. Thank you for your time! :)

 * Nope, there's only one version of the badge, ( although, if I had designed it I would have gone with fading to transparent :P ) but I think the fade looks pretty good against the off-white background - since that shade is in the gradient somewhere.


 * Anyway, thanks for joining in, and wherever it works best for you is perfect. :)

I am using Firefox 13.01.1 and I was using the usual editing function on Wikipedia. I tend to think of these things as floating surges that I hit because I do so many edits.

Hello, I am an admin on MicroWiki and, because our wiki is a bit messy, I wanted to ask you how were the drop-down preloads menu created.

Andrew Collins
Hi,

I really should have familiarized myself with the deletion rules. I was improvising, sorry.

The proof is that I own the play in question, Live 34, and I am 100% certain that the part of Drew Shahan is voiced by Andrew Collins (critic). The conceit of the play being that it is one long radio broadcast, so Big Finish hired a real-life broadcaster Andrew Collins (critic) to play the part of the radio DJ, Drew Shahan. There's a picture of Andrew Collins (critic) inside the booklet for Live 34 which matches the likeness of that we already have for Andrew Collins (critic).

Andrew Collins (actor) has featured regularly in several Dark Shadows plays, all of which I own, also released by Big Finish, and has a totally different sounding voice to Andrew Collins (critic).

I wasn't suggesting that Andrew Collins (actor) and Andrew Collins (critic) are one and the same, but two different people, one of which, Andrew Collins (actor), has no Doctor Who connections.

Hope this helps, I look forward to contributing to the wiki in the future. Claude North talk to me 18:01, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

Preloads and adminship
Appreciate the nomination request, but I honestly don't think I'd be any good at it, even if I am a bit of a regular and my knowledge of the pre-Eccleston show is gradually improving. I've only literally just started taking screenshots and cropping them. -- Tybort (talk page) 09:09, July 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * I was gonna make a forum thread related to this, but now that you brought it up, what does the "featured" bit in the disambiguation preload mean? Because I have a feeling that it's not being used properly. -- Tybort (talk page) 09:11, July 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Is "name" deliberately absent from vatious infobox preloads due to the way it works automatically if blank? -- Tybort (talk page) 09:16, July 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * There currently isn't any audio story or novel format in Infobox Story for me to check over Audio story/preload or Novel/preload.


 * And as Confidential is gone, do we need a preload for that now? -- Tybort (talk page) 10:00, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Front page changes
I'm not too sad about DW Fanon (I have the vaguest memory of it being started after an admin, (probably me) blocked someone for adding fanfic to this wiki).

DW Expanded though is still fairly interesting in parts, though without an admin to keep it in check it is running a bit ragged. DW Special Features' content is practically covered on the DW Collectors Wiki and here.

Just a side note (that I seem to always add), the category pages, have they always been that off yellow colour? I know you've been messing around with the background colour of the various namespaces but I don't recall categories being such a weird yellow. I just find it a bit hard on the eyes, not sure why as I'm guessing it's the similar to the rest of the colours only yellow. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:15, July 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's odd, because I certainly look at the user talk pages a lot or probably an equal amount as the category pages and never noticed anything.
 * I promise I don't just suddenly notice these things to make trouble for you!
 * I think maybe it's just on user talk/forum pages all the text is black, but on category pages all the text is blue or dull red. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:22, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Locked template page
Master stories needs the stories changed to dab terms, but most importantly the short story Freedom, which is also a character (normally, it'd be put on the vanilla Freedom page, but as freedom is a generally used noun...)

Also, can you add The Oseidon Adventure to the UNIT years section? The bit about "non-canonical" should probably be reworded due to the recent revamp of the canon policy. -- Tybort (talk page) 20:58, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

Bot stuff?
While wandering the Big Finish site, I noticed that the audio formerly exclusive to The Complete Davros Collection, The Davros Mission is considered part of I, Davros here. Would it be an easy job for the bot to correct all the BFA prefixes to that story to BFD? -- Tybort (talk page) 22:32, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

Demonstrative pronouns are weak subjects of leads
Yar. This is a side-effect of several levels of editing, first to get a piece into some sort of grammatically correct form, then to edit it for sense, then to fix very weak writing and finally to get the piece into a strong, interestingly written form. I find that some time between each of these levels of editing is good to clear out the cobwebs of older, poorer form. Unfortunately, I rarely get around to to the last stage. The constant addition of new pages and the random insertion of new facts means it's very difficult to shape a piece. But yours is a good point and I'll keep it in mind when I'm fixing these weak openers. I think that the definite articles are stronger, so a longer form, such as you suggest "The co-pilot of an unnamed starship" is probably best. Boblipton talk to me 22:04, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

Problem with Character Infoboxes
Hi, recently I have been adding new page/updating pages, and I have noticed when you have more than on actor to the voice actor(s) box, the box doesn't read like if there are multiple actors in the Other Actors box. An example of this is on the Davros page where in the Other Actors part its says David Gooderson, Terry Molloy, Julian Bleach but in the Voice Actor(s) it says voice actor::Rory Jennings, Colin Baker  and exactly the same type code, or what ever it is actually called, is written on the editing page, Other Actors David Gooderson, Terry Molloy, Julian Bleach, Voice Actors Rory Jennings, Colin Baker. Tahnks if you can get it sorted. (AdricLovesNyssa: 17:30 (UTC) 13th July)

Question on front page
For some reason, Mr Invincible is regarded as the newest "BBC Radio Drama". Was this audiobook actually broadcast on BBC Radio, or is that a jump to conclusions following further Torchwood audios post-The House of the Dead? -- Tybort (talk page) 18:45, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

Master
I hate to bring this up again, but User:86.25.29.82 has pointed out that in Legacy of the Daleks, one way to interpret it is that Delgado it the 12th life of the Master and that Pratt/Beavers in the 13th, and that the Master had had a failed regeneration to create this ghaustly form. He supported this idea with a quote from the book; ""Of course... He already knew that the Master had hidden on Tersurus when his final regeneration had been used up. Some devastating force had ravaged his body and left him a crippled wreck." (The Doctor muses on page 235)"

His argument seems legit, and I think we may want to look into it. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 18:30, July 15, 2012 (UTC)

It's generally up to an admin to establish a new prefix, right? Because I noticed Counter-Measures has just been released. -- Tybort (talk page) 23:21, July 15, 2012 (UTC)

Cyruptsaram
You're misreading the comment I left on Cyruptsaram's talk page somewhat. The section you referred to was this:

"I completely agree with Boblipton here and definately don't think that because of the ban we don't want you here on the wiki."

Now what I meant by that is I agree with Boblipton in regard to the fact that because Cyruptsaram was banned that we don't want him here, which is frequently the impression that new users get. I can see how you got from my comment to where you are, but I'd have thought you'd have seen from the sentence and what follows was that by no means was I agreeing with Bob about the disputes you've ahd in the past, because up until reading Bob's message I honestly was unaware that you'd had any.

Now on the matter of the actual ban, yes I can see why you placed the ban, and if I was in the same situation I would also have enforced the ban. Because of the ban his editing was stopped and the damage was halted, therefore I removed the ban today because the ban was no longer needed for the reasons it was placed for, so I thought I was doing you a favour by removing it and sparing you the trouble. So there's abit of misunderstanding on both sides in this case and obviously I had no intention of encroaching on your territory by removing the ban. --Revan\Talk 16:09, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

I just recieved a message from Cyruptsaram on community central and he says that he can't edit any articles or send a message to you to ask for his block to be lifted. Obviously I checked and there is no block in place on his account anymore. For the moment I told him to try and edit an article again, but do you have any ideas as to what's going on? --Revan\Talk 17:14, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your help. Everything has returned to normal. --Cyruptsaram talk to me 19:55, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

Prefix
You told me a while back that you couldn't see the point in adding the "BF", that was why we changed "BFJL" to "JAL". I just followed that example. Which do you prefer? --Revan\Talk 17:29, July 16, 2012 (UTC)

Dab question
Would it be fair to move Kroton to Kroton (species) and just leave Kroton on its own as a redlink, or is the species something of a primary term like with the Omega debate?

Also, on Companions of the Eighth Doctor, could you change Kroton (Cyberman) to Kroton (Throwback: The Soul of a Cyberman)? -- Tybort (talk page) 20:17, July 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Another question. Would it be fine for Victoria (Queen) to be moved to Victoria (Imperial Moon), with the various links leading there moved by bot? -- Tybort (talk page) 15:53, July 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Not sure how to approach that, then. -- Tybort (talk page) 17:15, July 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Really? I was thinking that, but assumed if any Victoria had a primary use, I'd assume it to be Victoria Waterfield, who was a main character for a time. -- Tybort (talk page) 17:54, July 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Of course I'm not sure. I only got round to properly watching pre-Eccleston episodes a year ago. -- Tybort (talk page) 18:13, July 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, appearance IS appearance. I agree, though in the case of figures only referenced, I'd assume that we count from first reference for the dab. -- Tybort (talk page) 18:21, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Primary term
Yes, I have seen in a couple of places that you're not a McCoy-era fan, but you seem to be really knowledgeable about whether things like Victoria work as primary terms.

As there's (at least) Caretaker (Scream of the Shalka) and Caretaker (A Stain of Red in the Sand), should Caretaker be dabed to Caretaker (Paradise Towers) or not? I'm leaning towards not, given that there's almost certainly references to the Earth profession, but maybe because there's several characters with that rank on Tybort (talk page) 20:09, July 30, 2012 (UTC)
