Re: Images
Sorry but i am just another user like you and don't have anyway of blocking the user or locking the pages i suggest you talk to Tangerineduel I am sure he can do something about it. Sorry again that i couldn't be more help. --Dark Lord Xander 05:09, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, just responding to your message on Dark Lord Xander's talk page. The changes to the page weren't really vandalism, they're just some different images. I'm against for the most part protecting pages against anonymous edits as that is how we gain new users by having anonymous editors trying out editing on this wiki.


 * If you don't agree with the anonymous editor's changes you could leave a message on the user's talk page. Also if you believe one message is better over another for the page you could start a discussion on Sixth Doctor page (or which ever page it may be) to get a discussion going on the merits of one image over another. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 07:00, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the responses and suggestions. I'll bear those in mind in the future. Cheers. --Alan-WK 00:51, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Infoboxes
A forum thread has been started regarding a proposal to radically alter infoboxes. As an editor who's been active this year, your views would be appreciated. Thanks!  Czech Out  ☎ | ✍  17:15, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads up about this! Much appreciated! I'll have a look at that thread and if I have any views or advice or assistance on this subject that I can pass on then I'll certainly do so if it will help. --Alan-WK 21:25, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Fifth Doctor infobox
Hey, I'm reverting your change to the infobox at Fifth Doctor. I'm not saying that the picture currently there must remain there "forever and ever, amen". Rather, you've chosen perhaps the one kind of image that should never go in an infobox. file:FiveThin.jpg was specially made to fit in an 85px width navigational box image window. It's really not for use on any page or infobox. It's strictly one of our Category:Maintenance images. In general, it's preferred that infobox images be widescreen, if it's at all possible to crop a picture to a more-or-less 16:9 aspect ratio. If not, we'll take 4:3 images. But really, they should never be more vertical than horizontal.

You will almost certainly find pages where this guideline is not observed, but that doesn't invalidate it.

I have no objections to finding a different image for this infobox, so long as it's in-universe and widescreen, as there is no difficulty to cropping Davison-era episode images to a more-or-less 16:9 aspect ratio. 16:42: Sun 09 Oct 2011
