User talk:Doctor other

'''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. Doug86 ☎  18:16, January 4, 2014 (UTC)

Edits
Hi! I've had to revert your recent edits for several reasons. I suggest you read through some of our pages so you can see how we write articles. In particular, in universe articles must be in the past tense, you must always source your information, especially if you're removing/changing something that was already there, and your grammar needs to be correct. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  19:45, January 4, 2014 (UTC)

Images
Please read through our image policies, which you can find at Thread:148148. All the images you have uploaded are in violation of one or more of our image policies. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  14:05, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

Images
I had to delete a few of your images, so here's why: --SOTO ☎ 03:49, January 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) They were unsourced. Sources for all images are a must. I cannot stress that enough. I'm not sure where you got those images from, so I can't tell you whether or not they can be legally uploaded by copyright laws. Chances, are, though, they're not.
 * 2) They were out-of-universe, and thus not really illustrative of the in-universe topics. If these were sourced and actual blueprints used by the production team, they might be useful in behind-the-scenes sections. But they're not.
 * 3) One of them was also a png. This is usually not allowed.
 * After looking through more of your recent contributions, I'd also like to highlight T:IUP NAMES — please try to give new images names for which they can be easily identified. Not a long string of numbers, not an automatically generated screenshot name. Names.


 * Having said all this, though, don't let this put you down. Just take the time to read through T:IUP, T:GTI, T:IPER and maybe glance at our image cheat card before uploading anything else, and we shouldn't have any problems. :) --SOTO ☎ 04:00, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

Edits
Hi. Please do not put speculation on article pages. We do not allow any speculation on article pages, and if you see any on pages, it just means it hasn't been removed yet. It does not mean that speculation is allowed.

In addition, you must source information you put on pages. Many of your edits have been removed for being unsourced. Please review the following policies: Tardis:Citation and Tardis:What does a citation mean?. These will help you understand what we want as far as citation.

One more thing. I'm trying to say this in a nice way, but you really have to work on your grammar. Our articles are not to be written as if you are texting or chatting. You must use proper grammar, which includes, but is not limited to, proper punctuation and capitalization.

I suggest you browse the wiki, looking over several different kinds of articles, so you can see how we write and edit articles. This should help you in avoiding having your edits reverted. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  21:46, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

Block
I can't think of any other way to get your attention than by blocking you for a week. You have been notified of several policies, but you have continued to edit against those policies. Either you don't care, or, more likely, you haven't read your talk page. Hopefully this block will get your attention and you will read your talk page.

While you are blocked, you will be able to edit this page. In the meantime, please read through the messages left by admins on this page, and read through the following policies:
 * Tardis:Citation
 * Tardis:Image use policy
 * Help:Image cheat card
 * Tardis:Grammar

In addition, please note that we do not allow speculation, theories, fanon, etc on articles.

Your block will be lifted at the end of a week. Shambala108 ☎  20:36, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

Discussion policy
I don't know why you continued to post theories and speculation on talk pages after I specifically told you that it violates policy. Consider this a warning: talk pages are for discussing the editing of articles, not for airing speculation or theories. Shambala108 ☎  15:20, February 9, 2014 (UTC)

Dalek question
I really don't understand what you were trying to ask me on my talk page. My suggestion for you is that if your question is something that could be answered from actual Doctor Who stories, you post your question on Board:The Reference Desk. If, however, your question can only be answered with speculation or theories, you can only take it to Howling:The Howling. Shambala108 ☎  21:51, February 10, 2014 (UTC)

Watchmen
Hi! Your page creation, Watchmen, has been deleted twice by two different admins, and I wanted to let you know why. Basically, the page has way too many problems to fix easily. These problems include:


 * Spelling and grammatical errors. I strongly suggest you preview your edits before you publish them, as most of your edits have had several grammatical errors.
 * You included no categories. All pages must have at least one category.
 * Usually, we create pages with a singular title. This is always true in the case of ranks and titles.

I suggest you browse our wiki to get an idea of what we want in article creation. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  20:01, February 16, 2014 (UTC)

Citadel etc
I got your message while I was typing up this one. I didn't remove your edit because I thought the information was wrong. I removed it because it was in the wrong place. You put buildings in a section on Mountains as a subsection of geographical features. Buildings do not belong in this section. You can put it in its proper place (if you have a source). Shambala108 ☎  20:01, February 16, 2014 (UTC)

Re: The Infinity Doctors
If it's just your theory, or if it involves any kind of speculation, we do not allow it on this wiki. I don't know how to make that any more clear to you. We only  use what we get from stories for in-universe articles; we don't use theories or speculation. Period.

You have to understand, Doctor Who is very big. It's been around for 50 years, there are three spin-offs and countless novels, short stories, audio stories, and comic stories. We have almost 40,000 articles on this wiki. If we allowed users to speculate, we would have constant edit wars and this wiki would become a useless mess. So please take your theories to either Howling:The Howling or to one of the dozens of sites that encourage speculation. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  14:22, February 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * You said in your post to me, "I have a theory". That's why I said it was speculation. As for the rest of your post, I'm sorry but I have no idea what you are trying to say.


 * In addition, I must ask you to stop creating pages. You have not fixed any of the multiple errors that existed, and frankly, there is too much work on these pages to fix. I suggest you browse the wiki for a bit, and after a few months of editing, when you are more familiar with our policies, you can re-create them. Unfortunately, you just keep adding the same information without trying to understand the policies of this wiki.


 * In the meantime, please take a look at the following:


 * Tardis:In-universe perspective
 * Tardis:Point of view
 * Tardis:Manual of Style
 * Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  15:19, February 17, 2014 (UTC)

Block
Unfortunately, I have had to block you again, for a week. Please note that this block has nothing to do with the content of your posts, that is, whether they are supported by stories or are just speculation.

Rather, the block is because we have several policies on how articles are written, and you continue to edit against those policies. When your edits are reverted, you put them back without changing anything that was wrong. That is the reason for the block — I'm giving you a week to review our wiki policies, and have singled out a few that are most affected by your edits. Please read these policies in their entirety and make yourself familiar with them:
 * Tardis:Manual of Style
 * Tardis:Full sentences
 * Tardis:In-universe perspective
 * Tardis:Point of view
 * Tardis:Citation
 * Tardis:What does a citation mean?
 * Tardis:Italics
 * Tardis:Categorisation

On a more positive note, from what I can see, you have taken note of the image policies that have been pointed out to you. So I am encouraged to think that you can learn from the above policies. Shambala108 ☎  01:00, February 18, 2014 (UTC)

NOTDWU
Please do not put any NOTDWU citations on in-universe pages. You can read more at Tardis:Valid sources and Tardis:In-universe perspective. Shambala108 ☎  00:32, March 2, 2014 (UTC)
