Locking user page
The ability to lock/protect pages from editing lies with administrators, and is usually reserved only for pages that have been vandalised or subject to edit wars. I've checked the edit history for your user page and I don't see any recent issues in that regard - unless you're referring to another page. The only reason my user page is locked is because being an admin with a number in my name, I tend to get listed first and from past experience as an admin on Wikipedia I find that sometimes attracts vandals. That said, I know more senior admins frown upon it, so I've actually been meaning to remove the block (which I'll do after I finished this message). Anyway, if you want a page locked down, you need to request it from an administrator such as myself, or Tangerineduel, but just based on the current edit history for your user page, I don't see cause. 23skidoo 21:25, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Amy Pond and Season 5
The Amy-as-alien thing didn't come from me - it was from DWIN, which posted it in their news blog as a joke and other media took it seriously. As for Series 5, it starts at Easter 2010 (meaning April 3 as the show airs on Saturday) according to the BBC's trailer, so they have the final word. 23skidoo 20:27, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * The start dates have been all over the place. The IMDb is wrong. The BBC officially has said Easter, so that's the start of April. BBC America just announced April 17 for the US. If you go here, you can see the new trailer (if by chance the video won't play in your area, you can probably find it on YouTube). It's supposed to be seen in 3-D in theatres which is why it looks a bit odd. Thanks for the comments on the other Wiki pages. 23skidoo 00:32, February 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well now we know she isn't an alien. [User:Trikster87|Trikster87]] 16:12, November 29, 2009 (UTC) 

2089
I think you're asking about one of 23skidoo's edits to the page 2089. I'm listed as editing the section he created because I was changing the categories at the bottom as part of a project to clean-up the Timeline categories. I haven't even gotten around to watching The Waters of Mars yet. --Nyktimos 21:31, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * What were you asking about? 23skidoo 14:00, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Freema image
If it's got a watermark on it, don't upload it to Wikia. Although Wikia's image rules aren't as strict as those used by Wikipedia, if someone has a claim of ownership over an image, by way of a watermark or a copyright notice, we can't use it. 23skidoo 14:00, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Sidebar
Just admins, as editing it (and other pages that start with mediawiki) affect integral parts of the wiki. You can either state what you think needs changing to me (or the other admins), add it to one of the forum topics focused on the sidebar (the most recent I think is Forum:Sidebar Order? What should be in the sidebar???) or start another forum topic to engage the community. Hope this helps. --Tangerineduel 14:02, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Move, don't delete and recreate
When you move a page, you carry its history. When you do as you did, you lose all of the history. Don't erase all of the details on a page and then recreate it elsewhere. Ever. -- sulfur 20:30, March 6, 2010 (UTC)

As noted on my talk page, you should have used the "MOVE" command. Next time you pull that track, use that command instead. -- sulfur 00:10, March 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Seconded, it also means that admins have to go back and delete, recreate and merge the histories of the two pages. --Tangerineduel 14:44, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Becoming an admin
I'm not involved in that process. I suggest you ask Tangerineduel. Cheers. 23skidoo 12:51, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

New Doctor Who Wiki?
Why do you want to make a wiki specificily based on one Series of Doctor Who when all info about Series 5 is on here? --MrThermomanPreacher 16:05, April 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's somewhat splitting of resources creating another Doctor Who wiki, that only focuses on one series.
 * A wiki lives or dies on its contributors, rather than the person who started the wiki. People come to wikis looking for information and then contribute because they can add something that isn't written or want to add to a growing body of knowledge.
 * Creating a wiki based on one series has a huge amount of issues, for starters all the information that backs up that series is outside the purview of 'Series 5', even the term 'Series 5' would be outside of what the wiki is set up to deal with, technically speaking you wouldn't be able to go into as much detail about the other (or future) series as Series 5.
 * I'm sorry if I sound critical, but I really believe in creating a good encyclopaedia about the Doctor Who universe (and all the media that forms said universe), this diversification of it just seems somewhat counter-productive. As I said above a wiki isn't one person it's a collection of people working on a project, a project needs certain guide lines, policies and things like that to keep the project going in the face of vandals and whatever else.
 * Another thing that, when creating a wiki to respect is content and its sources (and licencing), I had a quick look at your Torchwood wiki. On the occasion when on this wiki we've used content from Wikipedia we add the Template:Wikipedia to the page to acknowledge the page's information source. I would like to think that the contributors to the Weevil page would like their contributions acknowledge with a link back to this wiki's page See also W:Community Central:Licensing.
 * I'll decline your offer to edit. The things I do on this wiki keep me occupied more often than not. Good luck with your future endeavours. --Tangerineduel 17:06, April 29, 2010 (UTC)
