User talk:CzechOut

Hello to you too
Hello Czech; it's been a while. Nice to be back, but I wish I'd arrived earlier as university beckons once more. I see you have been busy; the wiki has certainly benefited from some fine tuning. These changes were present in a nascent form before my extended leave, so it's interesting to see how they worked out. That said, I do miss some of the quirks, such as the prefixes, and the old guard are notable in their absence.

Unfortunately, I do find myself at a bit of a loss when it comes to the latest policies, so I'll have to dip into that at some point. I had to look to the community for help using the new infobox too.

On a side note, and you may already be aware of this, but I'm experiencing a technical issue that causes the stub and templates to float in the middle of my screen, as opposed to the left/right hand side. I'm not sure if you've changed them, but I'm pretty sure they never did that when you first introduced them. I'm using Windows 7 Chrome if that helps.

Anyway, nice to hear from you.-- 18:00, September 8, 2014 (UTC)

Help With Infobox
Hi, I was recently added the cover pictures for The Ghosts of Gralstead and there are three of them. I have done the usual trick in the infobox but it doesn't show the third image, I am assuming this is a quirk of the coding, is there a way round this?

 * Thanks, thought there would be a simple solution. Adric♥Nyssa∩Talk? 16:03, September 9, 2014 (UTC)

The Promised Land
When you deleted the page, I was trying to make it so that an admin would know to change it. Also, why didn't you just change the name? Please reinstate it with the real name. Rufus 05:26, September 12, 2014 (UTC) 120d User talk:120d

Re:Tophat Templates
Okay. Also, please do not delete pages in the future, just rename them. It was just a mistake. Rufus 05:31, September 12, 2014 (UTC) 120d (I am not going to add all of the talk page and user page info because it is in the message above)


 * First, The Promised Land had more information than most of the pages on this wiki. Saying that it should be deleted because it only has one sentence means you should delete all of the other planets that have appeared in books that have one sentence on them. Second, It was not speculation, it was pure evidence. Its an actual location and the Doctor thought it was just heaven. Third, why not have it now and add information when we get it? It seems like it would be better to have it now and add the info as it is revealed than to try to remember all of the information at one time later in the series or in the next series. Fourth, I am sorry that I couldn't get a better free image one week after it premieres. I don't like you people and your image rules. All of the other rules seem to make sense, but the image rules seem to be the least logical and the most enforced. What you admins do is, if it breaks one tiny rule, you have to go and delete it. I am glad that you didn't delete my image. (let's hope you haven't or someone else hasn't by the time you are reading this) Don't delete an image because it is not good quality or because it doesn't have a license on it. For the quality part, keep the best quality image and once a better quality image is found replace the image. For the license part, talk to the person who uploaded the image. Maybe they didn't know about the rules. I know that the rules say that you don't have to talk to us, but that is what a member of the community would do. I am pretty sure that there is not a rule that says you should be a jerk about it. (Sorry, some of this was misdirected anger. I am angry at another admin. (who I think should be demoted)) (also, sorry if this took too long to be sent, part of the reason is that I am not used to having to go to the other person's talk page. Personally, I prefer Message Walls over Talk pages. They seem easier.) Rufus 05:54, September 12, 2014 (UTC) 120d


 * I see your point. I am glad you were nice about it. I would love to know your opinion on Talk Pages vs. Message Walls. I am sure that if you read this without prior knowledge of the conversation, you would be confused. Rufus 21:13, September 12, 2014 (UTC) User:120d User talk:120d

Re: Images
I see your point. However, if one image exists of that topic, even if it is low quality, then should it be deleted? Rufus 21:13, September 12, 2014 (UTC) User:120d User talk:120d

Re: Signatures
This entire message would have had to be written if you had message walls. I advise you to examine the pros and cons of both message walls and talk pages. If you decide that you think message walls are better, I advise you to talk to other admins and users to get their opinion. Also, this is an example of a rule that is taken way too seriously. I would have definitely put my full signature, if it wasn't the message above. Rufus 21:13, September 12, 2014 (UTC) User:120d User talk:120d

Internet Video Database
I know that on most wikis, I am not able to promote other wikis on some pages, but if you want to check it out sometime just click the link in the heading.

Re:Message Walls
When was the last time you discussed it? The reason that I am asking this is because if it has been awhile people might have changed their minds or might think that it is time for a change. Personally, I believe that the advantages of message walls outweigh the disadvantages. It seems more of a hassle to have to go back at forth and possibly not respond if the person didn't get the message. The message wall system allow people to get messages easier and it is all in one place. There is also no need to remember to write your "talk page" or username information.

 * Two things: 1. I don't like when people say that something will happen or something won't happen. You have no idea what the future of this wiki is. Maybe, in a few years, talk pages will be removed from Wikia all together. I don't know and neither do you. 2. Please stop starting your sentences with "and". It is bad grammar.

Re: Image Deletion
You know, I never liked following rules that aren't actually rules. (I am talking about the last sentence in your message) I suggest you read the entire thing before doing anything.

I am starting to think that you people don't want me to contribute on this wiki. Ever since I started editing people have harassed me about doing thing wrong. At first, it was basic, reasonable things like using British English. But it soon became absolutely ridiculous things. If you are not a mad man, then tell me how night pictures are bad (especially one that was clearly not dark) and file names being bad is a reason for it to be deleted. I think that you admins like to be as lazy as possible. I know for a fact that all admins have the ability to rename images. You can probably also change licensing much easier than a normal user can. I am sick of admins coming up with bull crap reasons to block me or delete my contributions. "You disagreed with my point of view and the vague rules that are up to interpretation, but only MY interpretation. Block!" "You said one bad thing during Christmas time, the time of being nice. (The following action goes against what I just mentioned) Block!" "Your image was not correctly licensed. Delete!" "Your image was taken at night, in my opinion doesn't clearly show the topic, (which it does (by the way, I would have uploaded a cropped photo of the building, but I knew you were going to harass me about not having it be a widescreen image.) and has a name that is not easily searchable (which isn't the point of an image on a wiki (the point of an image on a wiki is to convey a scene or point that is in an article or template or to represent an article.) Delete!" "The name of your article was incorrect. (You did give me good reasons after the fact, but the fact remains that the reason you gave to delete that article is that the name was incorrect.) Delete!" I hope you see my point. Also, the image did show the scene was. Anyone who has seen the episode knows that Rose Tyler's work is about to explode. I am going to re-upload my image with a different name. Please don't delete it because of these ridiculous rules. I have proven that the name thing is the only thing that I think is reasonable to change. Something that you and Shambala108 cannot seem to understand is that you should talk to the people before you delete. We are all trying to contribute to this wiki. Your job is to not allow spoilers and vandalism, make sure everyone is nice (not necessarily agreeing), and make sure that all information is up to date and well-written. I can honestly say that right now there is no such thing as a Doctor Who wiki community. Right now, there is are two classes: the admins and their followers. Some of us don't want to be followers. It doesn't matter how long you have been here or what abilities you have. All that matters is that you are all fans of Doctor Who and want to contribute to this wiki. I think that there needs to be a change in the rules; a change that would allow all users to be equal and not have to follow ridiculous rules. Just because they are the wiki's rules doesn't mean they are good. Rufus 15:37, September 16, 2014 (UTC) 120d User talk:120d
