'''Welcome to the Thanks for your edits! 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

Hi, I do not want you to think that I am ignoring you, so I'm leaving this short note that I do not have time this week for the wiki at all. I'll provide a real reply hopefully soon. Amorkuz ☎  11:17, August 6, 2018 (UTC)


 * To cut the long story short. The reason I undid your edits was that you removed information from the page. One can try to untangle a narrative, yes. But one should not ignore any valid information that does not fit into this narrative. DW has many continuity holes. This wiki would be very much incomplete, if we only allow consistent narrative. For instance, you removed the following passage "As the Doctor was already dying from chronal starvation" sourced to Spiral Scratch, but this wiki treats all media as equal. As for McCoy playing the Sixth Doctor, it is a well-established fact that Colin Baker did not want to return for filming the regeneration scene, and McCoy had to put on a wig and lie there instead. I'm not entirely sure how a correct fact can be hair-splitting. When Tom Baker returned as the Curator, thus, becoming an actor who played two incarnations of the Doctor, it is McCoy he was compared to. This is part of Doctor Who lore. We have no right to remove this information from the wiki.


 * To summarise, I do not mind you "cleaning up", as you say, the section about the Sixth Doctor regeneration. But it must be done in such a way that no (correct) information currently present is lost in the process and so that all valid sources are taken into account and given equal weight, see Tardis:Neutral point of view.


 * And, finally, it is not the case that every event in Doctor Who universe can be cleaned up. Some are inherently contradictory. Doctor Who is not a coherent universe, not by a long shot. In case of doubt, better to state all things as alternative accounts, close to the text than to interpret and massage facts until they fit. Amorkuz ☎  22:37, August 12, 2018 (UTC)
