I had a look at the talk page and it would seem the general consensus called for its deletion. Their reasoning was correct and the links to that page have been redirected or deleted, with the page itself deleted. Thanks for pointing it out. Skittles the hog-- Talk 08:50, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Minimum standards for articles about production personnel
Heya :) Thanks for adding in new pages for behind-the-scenes personnel!  Coupla points, though

We really need to have a bit more than just " was a stunt performer in Doctor Who." In a show that's nearly 50 years old, that doesn't narrow things down much. At an absolute, barebones minimum, please give the specific episodes/serials on which the person was credited. Ultimately, we'd like the articles to give some sense of the person's overall career, their importance o the production of Doctor Who, and/or the occasions on which they might have crossed paths with other Doctor Who alumni. (You might want to check out Chris Clough, June Hudson, Peter Howell, Colin Mapson, Ashley Way, Stuart Brisdon, Peter Wragg, Mike Kelt and Chris Chibnall for varying approaches of various lengths.) However, if you can't start an article with at least a list of the episodes/serials on which they worked, you don't actually have enough information to start the article at all.

Also, the standard external link for a behind-the-scenes person is their IMDB listing. I know you may have seen pre-existing articles where the IMDB listing is missing, but it's really important — especially on very hort articles — to give an IMDB link. The overwhelming majority of people articles do have IMDB listings.

You may find it easier to use the preloadable formats, rather than building a page from scratch, because the preloadables have the minimum structure already in place.

To retrofit an IMDB listing onto a page without one, just use the imdb name template.

Thanks again for your efforts, and if you need additional help, please don't hesitate to ask. 02:47:07 Wed 20 Jul 2011


 * Sorry about that; I was on vacation on a slow computer and couldn't get to IMDb and was planning to return to them if I got the chance. I was basing the articles on Derek Lea and wasn't sure if I was supposed to add the episode titles or not, but now I've added them based on the "What Links Here" tool. I've tried preloadable formats before but they didn't work on my computer for some reason; I only got the infobox text at the top of the screen. Thank you, Glimmer721 17:41, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Achievement
Are you sure it has been 24 hours since it last went up? I haven't seen this fault anywhere else, so my advice would be to edit every few hours and you should get it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I'm just getting use to this new feature myself.-- 22:07, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Badge issues
Hi Glimmer. I'm the IT guy round these parts. Could you please come to chat and explain the problems you're having with the Achievements feature? Thanks 22:18:14 Fri 02 Sep 2011
 * p.s. You'll find chat in the right column on every page except the main page.


 * Well, I guess it's not necessary for you to come to chat. Your progress in that "consecutive days edited" track begins with the time of your first edit on 29th August. That was at 1456 Hawaiian time.  It is currently 1225 Hawaiian time, 4.9 days later.  You must wait approximately an hour-and-a-half from now to get the badge.  Just remember that your time for this badge will always be 1456 Hawaiian time.   22:27:20 Fri 02 Sep 2011

Proper use of title
Please do not use the title template to remove the disambiguation term, as you did at Missing in Action (comic story). This makes things very confusing. The template is only meant to change the style of titles (typically from regular to italic). It is not meant to actually remove a part of the title. Users need to be able to see what the page title is so that they know how to link to the page properly. Thanks :) 20:05: Mon 10 Oct 2011
