Archive
Please do not remove ArchCat from your talk page. Other users most have an easy link to your archives. 17:26: Wed 09 Nov 2011

Not a spelling mistake
Thanks for trying to help out, but it's not engine. It's Engin, a character in The Deadly Assassin.

On a completely unrelated note, could you please read our signature policy and abide by it on all occasions? Your signature must contain a clickable link to your user page and your user talk page. You may find help:signatures of assistance if you don't know how to make that happen. Thanks. 15:05: Mon 14 Nov 2011 .

Stop!
Please stop over linking everything. You only need to link once per heading. For example, on the River Song page in her biography section the Eleventh Doctor should be linked too once. Amy Pond should be linked too once.

Also do not link to The Doctor when the link should go to a specific Doctor. Thanks. MM/ Want to talk? 15:05, December 8, 2011 (UTC) 19:58: Tue 20 Dec 2011

Adminship
Your best bet is to ask User:Tangerineduel and/or raise your voice here, at Tardis:User rights nominations.

As an admin you must know out policies, have a good edit count and knowledge of Doctor Who. I am glad you are interested but I personally would say no. I'm sorry, but your edit count is low and you have made several mistake as regards to policies.

However, if you still interested, please raise your voice at the pages above. MM/ Want to talk? 14:10, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

reply
No - you should only archive your talk page after it reaches a certain length (around 20 topics) - there should be no reason for you to archive after every conversation. So just go and ask him.

Also, yes you do - under the correct heading (I can't remember which on but it should be obvious - I have not been on the page in a while). MM/ Want to talk? 14:31, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Admin request
Hi, I would firstly reiterate and agree with everything that MM has said in his response to your request and also in the previous talk messages left regarding over linking.

After quickly looking through your most recent edits I don't think you're ready to become an admin at this time, as I've had a quick look through your edit history and there are several things, as MM has noted that do not conform to our policies and that are general mistakes.

I thought I'd just note a few things I found on my brief look through your edit history:


 * you may be looking for K9 Mark ll.
 * I'm just puzzled by your addition of this (which if it were placed would just need to be You may be looking for K9 Mark II ), but it shouldn't need to be there at all, people are most likely to find their way to K9, K9 Mark II rightly has a disambig note at the top to K9 Mark 2 but this article doesn't need a disambig note.


 * The Hush, your edit was The Hush was a weapon built to destroy anything that made sound. (NSA: Dead Air)
 * Unless the text states it was a weapon that destroyed anything that made a "sonic", it should be linked to sound not sonic.


 * Your edits to Hypnosound and Eastern Zone is in against our Tardis:Manual of Style regarding the Doctor, specifically T:DOCTORS.


 * Incendiary bomb, fire shouldn't be capitalised.


 * DWMSE 10, your edition of "Doctor" to the infobox? Template:Infobox Magazine has 9 fields, none of them specify which Doctor is on the cover, as frequently DWM and other magazines don't feature a Doctor on the cover.


 * DWM 78. You added wikilinks to DWM DWM links to our prefix, while in this context it's actually talking about the DWM Archives and therefore doesn't need to be wikified. To a lesser extent this also applies to TARDIS Log, they're both names within the magazine rather than referring to in-universe or otherwise stuff.

Thanks, any questions please feel free to ask. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:16, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Brackets / Sourcing in real world articles
Hi, I just undid your edit on Colin Prockter, adding the brackets/sourcing to a real world article is not needed because you're not citing a source, you're stating information, so how the article was (and how it is now) is correct because it's presenting information. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:00, December 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, could you re-phrase that (or point me to the article you've edited) as I'm not sure what you're talking about. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:11, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Rollback nomination
I've removed your nomination, and indeed the whole section. The removal isn't directed at your nomination, it is something I've been addressing over the last couple of days and missed the nomination page. See also Tardis talk:User rights.

You can utilise a similar action to the rollback function by using the "Undo" function. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:11, December 29, 2011 (UTC)

Reply/Visual editor
Given your statements on the Forum:Can we disable visual editor please? I'm a little perplexed why you're using the visual editor. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:07, December 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * I didn't really ask a question...You didn't bother not using the visual editor? Or didn't bother about something else? --Tangerineduel / talk 16:20, December 29, 2011 (UTC)

Signatures
Please see help:signatures. 21:11: Thu 29 Dec 2011
 * I don't understand your question. Help:signatures contains a complete guide of how to create a "template call" signature.  Follow the instructions there and you'll be able to create such a sig.  It doesn't, however, tell you what kind of signature to make -- that is, what content should make up your signature -- but it does tell you completely how to create the basic "shell" into which you can dump your content.


 * If you want advice on how to create the content of your signature, my advice would be to go to the forums at w:c:community and look at some other people's signatures, to see how basic wiki formatting works. Then create an original riff on that.   21:51: Thu 29 Dec 2011
 * Are you sure you've examined the code? It's not hard to figure out, really.  Just search for the word "background".  The command is , where xxxxxx is a hexidecimal color code.  I urge you to consult basic CSS tutorial pages  for instruction on how to create tables, which is all that a signature really is.  Google is your friend.  19:33: Fri 30 Dec 2011

Locking main page
Wikia do not recommend locking the front page. If you have a specific concern about the main page, please describe it in detail. I thank you for trying to monitor problems with the wiki, but it's hard to know what's going wrong if you phrase your alerts in the form of yes/no questions. Details, please. 20:19: Sat 31 Dec 2011
