User talk:Reversinator

'''Welcome to the Thanks for your edits at User:Reversinator! 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

Tense
CzechOut has recently (and is still in the process) of updating and consolidating various bits of a MoS.

I apologise for not leaving you a message alerting you to the changes made, I was going to, then got distracted and forgot.

If you look around at practically any of the stories, their intros are all written in the past tense, and as you discovered all the CON intros were/are in the past tense.

As you can see on my talk page, in the sub-section above the one you left (also a side note, please remember to sign your talk comments with four tildes ~ ) CzechOut was responding to my queries concerning tense.

Present tense is difficult because none of the stories are ever "current", they're either a future to be broadcast or released story or they've been broadcast or released. The only true middle ground where present tense could be used is the day they're broadcast / released. As CzechOut has said on my talk page "every use of present tense immediately dates our writing".

As for your minor grammar fix, if you note the next edit I did undo my edit, that one I realised was a mistake. Regarding in line summary, I was quickly rolling back your edits rather than undoing them (rolling back doesn't allow for edit summary editions). Again, as I've said I apologise for not leaving a message on your talk page, I usually try to explain to users changes on the wiki. Thanks, any further questions please ask. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:16, October 30, 2012 (UTC)
