Block
Hi! Unfortunately I have had to block you. Your post at Talk:Peter Capaldi violated Tardis:Spoiler policy. Usually I have been blocking violators for 6 months, but in my opinion the circumstances warranted only a one month break. Please take this time to familiarize yourself with our spoiler policy. You will be able to respond here on your talk page if you find it necessary. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  14:31, August 10, 2013 (UTC)

With all due respect, I must strongly protest that the mention of said actor could possibly be considered a spoiler since the BBC went to so much effort to announce it, it's mentioned on the BBC's Who website, and available on their official Youtube channels. With such publicity it can hardly be expected that the information be considered in any way 'secret'. If the implication is that we must wait for the regeneration scene to be broadcast before one can mention the actor's name then I feel this particular aspect of the spoiler policy needs revision as there won't be a single fan that is unaware by the time that happens.

Editing to add that you have also incorrectly attributed my post. I did not, in fact, create or edit anything at the Capaldi article, but rather posit an ammendment to the article Talk:Maxil --Angelus Lupus ☎  14:42, August 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oops you're right, thanks for catching that.


 * Believe me, I understand what you're saying, and I even sympathize, but our spoiler policy is based on zero tolerance, regardless of the size or importance of the spoiler. This wiki is more concerned with what has already happened in the Doctor Who universe, not what will or might happen.


 * From a practical point of view, if we allow posts for future episode, cast or crew information, and that information doesn't come to pass, then we have a lot of cleanup to do. It's easier for the wiki to wait till something actually happens before posting it. An example of this type of situation can be found at Forum:Why we sometimes protect article creation: the curious case of Dorium Maldavar.


 * Thanks for your understanding. Shambala108 ☎  17:10, August 10, 2013 (UTC)
