User talk:Son of Icthar

Registered user
Hi, you are already a registered user, an unregistered user is someone who is does not have a user name or is not logged in, their IP address is used to identify their edits making them an 'unregistered user'.

You do not need to be an admin to contribute to this wiki, several users on this wiki have contributed vastly without being admins.

To return to the subject of becoming an admin, to be a good editor users need an edit history that showcases their editing ability, their knowledge of the wiki, their knowledge of both in and out of universe articles, also interacting with the users of the wiki through article talk pages, the Forum and other user's talk pages to communicate with them. But as I said you don't need to be an admin to do any of these things, you don't need to be an admin to contribute greatly to this wiki. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 13:11, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

The Pandorica
Hi, please do not make articles prior to their date of release. I have placed this for deletion due to the little amount of information known. Thanks, 18:54, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Questions

 * 1) The Mars article makes it fairly clear, the Martians (Ice Warriors) are native to Mars, the Osirians visited.
 * 2) The Anti-Wiki Alliance, see here for more information is an alliance of wikis that oppose the new skin that Wikia is pushing out. I don't think it's that bad. It's a change from Monaco though, just as Monaco was a change from Monobook.
 * 3) You'd have to ask SolarDragon, but he was quite vocal concerning the implemtation of the new Wikia skin, and is an admin of other wikis that have moved away from wikia, so I would hazard a guess his attentions are focused elsewhere.
 * 4) If you've found an article you think needs deleting/is vandalism place (replacing 'reason for deletion' with your reason), adding this tag adds the Template:Proposed deletion tag to the article and places the article in the prop delete category so admins can review it. In a more general sense you need to be an admin to be able to delete pages. --Tangerineduel 14:21, October 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * I can't answer the question for you. I think it's the Ice Warrios, but it's been a while since I read the Mars, Ice Warrior and Osirian pages.
 * Okay, skins or the look of wikis (and Wikipedia) come in three looks (you can change the skin by going to Preferences, Skins and then selecting them. Monaco is probably how you're seeing this wiki at the moment (though the defaults are soon to change to the new skin), that is with a blue header with "Edit, History, Follow, Share Article" across the left hand side and "Article, Discussion" on the right, with the Square shaped logo in the left hand corner and the menu bar on the left.
 * Monobook is what Wikipedia looks like (or used to look like, they've recently implemented a bit of a change).
 * The new Wikia skin is the new one you can go here to explore more. Wikia are rolling out the new skin to everyone this Wednesday, so you may or may not see it. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 12:29, October 20, 2010 (UTC)

Pictures
For in-universe pages (e.g. Lovecraft who has actually appeared in some form within the DWUniverse) pictures can only be added if they are from a Doctor Who story (TV episode, CD, comic etc.). Pages such as Russel T. Davies can, as far as i know include any picture of him you like (accept naked etc. :P).

Hope that helps. --Revanvolatrelundar 15:34, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

You stated it yourself. Unrelated images should go.Skittles the hog-- Talk 17:04, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Fine, I'm stating it. Deleted as it was unrelated to the DWU.Skittles the hog-- Talk 17:15, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Pictures
I'm not sure what picture you are referring to, but if it is on Skittles' user page then it is ok, but on an in-universe article then no. --Revan\Talk 18:28, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

It was placed on a talk page. It had no relevance to who at all.Skittles the hog-- Talk 18:40, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Images
With regards to tone left on talk pages and indeed all edits made assume good faith. Looking at the image you've uploaded it could only ever be tagged as a user image (remembering that as a user image it's bound by our Tardis:User image policy, and therefore you may only upload 3 user images and only be used on your user page or for a signature). Any images uploaded to this wiki need to have a tangible link to the DW universe (or behind the scenes stuff) etc.

Looking to the talk page you've posted it to, I don't think there's any need for the image to have been uploaded to this wiki at all, the point could have been made far more simply by simply linking to the image elsewhere on the internet. --Tangerineduel / talk 12:24, February 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * To link to anything outside of the wikia structure use single square brackets around the web address, produces this:, to have text appear for the external link ad a space and then whatever you want the link to say like this: Link to Google which gives you: Link to Google. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:06, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Quotations
I disagree with regards to a dedicated quote page, see Tardis:Manual of Style for more information. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:58, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
