User talk:NightmareofEden

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

Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this: ~ ~ ~ ~

Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask on my talk page. Revanvolatrelundar ☎  19:56, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

New editor
Hi, please make sure to read Tardis:Discussion policy and Tardis:We're Wikipedia's evil twin. Also, be careful about removing things from articles. You are new here and may not be completely familiar with how we do things. If you have a question about why something is or isn't, ask an admin. Thanks, Shambala108 ☎  22:04, May 10, 2018 (UTC)


 * Hi, I don't want to pile a lot of rules on you at once, but you should read Tardis:No personal attacks. This wiki doesn't allow any kind of personal attacks anywhere, including in edit summaries. And it is hard to gauge someone's tone from their text, so it's best to avoid the sarcastic comments in your editing. Thanks, Shambala108 ☎  22:48, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

Civility and policies
Hi, whether you are new to this wiki or somebody returning under a different alias, your edits (especially the deleted ones) suggest that at least one of your goals is to ridicule this wiki. Please be advised that this is not entirely a wise course of actions. You should (re)acquaint yourself with the following policies Tardis:You are bound by current policy, Tardis:Do not disrupt this wiki to prove a point and Tardis:Edit wars are good for absolutely nothing.

Please refrain in the future from stating in edit summaries things like "we do not" or "we do". As a user whose official record began today, you are not qualified to talk on behalf of this wiki. If you are, in fact, an experienced user, you are free to announce this fact or edit under your other alias. It would still not be your place to talk on behalf of the wiki, but at least your words would carry some weight.

Finally, when an admin instructs you about policies or requests additional information, you should not undo admin's edits. You are blocked for one day for ignoring admin instructions and disruptive behaviour that caused deletion of four talk pages. Amorkuz ☎  22:53, May 10, 2018 (UTC)


 * I promise John Leeson is credited on the back of the CD case! Why would I lie about that? OncomingStorm12th should never have reverted my edit in the first place. Neither you nor them own the disc. If there were anbody else around who owns the disc you'd know. Also, I'm sorry for ridiculing such important content as Underpants, Masturbation, Turkey baster, Penis gourd, and Walter the Worm. NightmareofEden ☎  23:02, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

Several things. Moving forward, you have a day to prepare evidence in order to effect the change you desire. In similar cases in the future, if a more experienced editor/admin undoes your edit, do not undo it back. Instead, start a discussion on the talk page of the page in question. Do not issue sarcastic/ironic/sardonic/pithy remarks in edit summaries: this is not a Die Hard movie. You would achieve the desired edits much faster if you do not start by alienating other editors. Amorkuz ☎  23:44, May 10, 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Nobody accused you of lying. I requested evidence for a contentious point. If you cannot or are not willing to provide it, you should not modify the page.
 * 2) Whether John Leeson is credited is not the question in dispute. The question is: how he is credited? Note that this is the second time you did not write exactly what you meant. This is why I would prefer see the credits rather than hear you describe them. T:CAST requires an exact knowledge anyways, for which a scan would be needed. When I see the scan, I would know how it needs to be coded. Since this user handle is just one day old, it is reasonable to assume that you may not know all the relevant policies to code it properly yourself.
 * 3) Once again, you should once and for all stop telling other editors what they should or should not have done. They are your equals and have as much right to make modifications as you. Contentious points are to be discussed on the talk page, moderated by admin.
 * 4) You cannot possibly know what other editors own or not own. So please stop making spurious claims. They do not help your credibility.
 * 5) Finally, regarding your initial edits, I'm afraid you are missing the point. It does not matter what you chose to ridicule. It matters that your first edits were devoted to ridiculing at all. Let me remind you that in one of your now deleted tirades, you complained about the validity policies of this wiki, as well as about decisions regarding certain categories. In other words, you were ridiculing the wiki because you do not like some of the policies agreed upon by community discussion. That was a direct violation of T:POINT.

 * 1) I didn't say anybody did.
 * 2) That's not true! OncomingStorm12th kept telling me to relocate it to the 'Uncredited Cast' section.
 * 3) Once again, I own the disc so am in a better position to discuss it.
 * 4) Well yes I can know, otherwise you'd know my edits were valid.
 * 5) You're taking this wiki way too seriously. I mean, when you have pages on Underpants, Turkey baster, Walter the Worm, Penis gourd, and Masturbation ON A DOCTOR WHO WIKI you should expect to be mocked.

A second chance
As it's been (very nearly) two years since the start of your ban, and since you came to me on Community Central to say you do regret your past behaviour1, I'm removing your ban (with a warning). This is on the understanding that there's been time enough for me to trust that you'll be able to handle any conflicts that come up more amiably. Always assuming good faith, we don't need to be held up about past tensions or poor resolutions if it won't be a problem again.

That said, so you know, you will not find the same degree of lenience if this does become an issue.

With the understanding that you've been formally warned to keep T:NO WARS and T:DISCUSS in mind in future interactions, welcome back to the Tardis community! :) 01:30, April 23, 2020 (UTC)
