'''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

Spoilers
Hi please carefully read through Tardis:Spoiler policy. The novel pages (and accompanying images) that you created have been deleted for now in accordance with the policy. Thanks Shambala108 ☎  14:17, May 12, 2020 (UTC)

Discussion policy
Hi please carefully read Tardis:No personal attacks and in the future be careful how you talk to others thanks Shambala108 ☎  00:50, May 21, 2020 (UTC)
 * i think i know which comment you mean, but would you be able to specify so im absolutely sure? DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎

Inuse tag
In addition to the fact that the picture you added to Doctors Assemble! was inappropriate, note that you're not supposed to edit any page with an Template:Inuse tag on it. The tag indicates that someone is currently performing a lengthy edit they haven't published yet and is meant to prevent editing conflicts. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  17:13, May 23, 2020 (UTC)
 * you should not be jumping onto a new release and preventing others from editing it. how is that fair? DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎
 * It's not supposed to be fair or unfair: it's supposed to prevent several people starting to write a popular page like that at once, and half of them losing their work in the edit conflict. I've finished what I wanted to do now, if you want to make edits. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  17:41, May 23, 2020 (UTC)

Companion thread
I don't see how the message to User:CzechOut was in any way rude. I merely asked him if my interpretation of the situation was correct. It is his prerogative, as an admin with experience of similar past debates, to decide if it is or isn't and then get back to me. I didn't reference you either so I'm not sure what your problem is. --Borisashton ☎  22:11, May 25, 2020 (UTC)
 * it seemed like a sneaky attempt to point out that my discussion needed deleted by admins, despite me telling you that it was about two different topics. if thats not the case i apologise. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎
 * Take a minute to think your replies through before posting them, Disoriented. You need to keep a calm head and respond professionally. :) The  Farty  Doctor   Talk  22:18, May 25, 2020 (UTC)
 * I'll also note that other users pointed out that the other rationale for leaving the thread open, placing companions into the slots that already exist, isn't necessarily sufficient for a thread to exist. So it's not as if he just hadn't considered this angle. It's not sneaky to ask an admin to close a thread he doesn't think should exist, though I don't think that's what he did here. Najawin ☎  22:21, May 25, 2020 (UTC)
 * i dont think he represented the thread correctly. if he thinks that the second topic isnt worthy that would be fine, but he only mentioned one part of it - that i had already told him i was distancing myself from and focusing on the second part, that is why i thought it was rude. as i said, if it was unintentional i apologise - it did not need two others jumping in telling me to calm down or other suggestions. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎
 * I don't appreciate the implication that I was being "sneaky" and it could be construed as a violation of T:NPA. I asked Czech about this because I used a quote from him that unambiguously indicated that the thread should be closed and your explanation of the several other topics the thread covered could have thrown this interpretation into doubt (though not in my eyes) hence why I asked him for clarification for this specific discussion. Me asking Czech was actually in support of your interests and, depending on what he responds with, could change my position on the closing of the thread. --Borisashton ☎  22:28, May 25, 2020 (UTC)
 * i did not call you sneaky, or imply it. i simply said that is what i thought - to answer why i said that i thought your comment was rude, and i said that i apologise if this wasnt the case. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎

Excuse me?
Hello. I would like to know why you accused my edit here of 'vandalism'. This is a rather rude and hostile accusation to make against my editing and my character. If the edit was incorrect, you are better to explain to me civilly why rather than rashly accuse me of vandalism which is hardly an appropriate or civil reaction on your part. Snivy   ✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦   11:12, May 26, 2020 (UTC)
 * I had already posted on Banana’s page why both edits were problematic, and I explained to you that one was problematic but you still went and changed them both back and told me to check a talk page that had no verdict! DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎


 * Posting on Banana's page is hardly reason to expect me to know that. It's a bit much to expect users to go around looking on another's user's talk page for verification (especially without prior knowledge to such discussion) on a matter as it is their talk page rather than my own.


 * Plus, I do not recall where you explained to me it was problematic. Perhaps you could source that claim? Also, I notice your passion for edits concerning this companion dilemma but is it really necessary to shout at users? Snivy   ✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦   12:01, May 26, 2020 (UTC)
 * my comment on Banana's page was right before your removal of my correct edits, as was tagged with "problematic edits" - so maybe that would hold a clue as to why i made the changes and would have prevented you from undoing it? DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎


 * I think it is a bit much to expect me to look at another user's talk page every time someone leaves a message there. I'm not even staff on this wiki, so has no jurisdiction to look at another's talk page without someone calling my attention to it first.

 * you reverted one of my edits to an incorrect version, siting a minor unresolved discussion, when the edit before yours was my comment on a user's talkpage with the tag "problematic edits". of course i expect you to have read that before immediately undo'ing my correct edits. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎


 * You mean this? In my defense, you phrased the remark as a question, as if you were unsure and seeking clarification. I proceeded to do so by reverting the edit and then pointing you to the talk page on which staff members themselves resolved it as invalid. I see no issue here. <font face="Georgia"><font color="#1E90FF">Snivy <font face="Arial">  <small style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; "><font face="Cambria"><font color="Grey">✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦   12:19, May 26, 2020 (UTC)

Defining Proto-Time-Lord
Hello. Can you clarify for me, based on your understanding, what a Proto-Time-Lord is? Please be independent of this wiki's article on it, since I'm asking for your view. Thank you in advance. <font face="Georgia"><font color="#1E90FF">Snivy <font face="Arial">  <small style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; "><font face="Cambria"><font color="Grey">✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦   12:28, May 27, 2020 (UTC)
 * first of all it doesnt really matter what Proto-Time Lord is as we cant favour one source over another - she was said to be Human + Time Lord in 'A Good Man Goes to War' and therefore that has to be reflected on the page (and it is anyway - as she is in all of the human categories).
 * BUT my understanding of what a Proto-Time Lord is - simply someone that is not a full Time-Lord, but that doesnt change the fact that River is still part human. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎
 * also, it has been a long time since i listened to The Diary of River Song: Series Three and i cant even remember if River was even called a Proto-Time Lord or if that term was only used for the clone prototypes created by Kovarian using River as the original template. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎

Proto-Time Lord is just the proper name given to “Human plus Time Lord”. It’s the same thing. River is human but genetically engineered into a Proto-Time Lord. The rest of the Proto-Time Lords were cloned from River’s embryonic DNA making them, like River, genetically engineered humans. SarahJaneFan ☎  12:51, May 27, 2020 (UTC)
 * but River wasnt genetically engineered to become Human plus Time Lord. she was born that way, the others were genetically engineered to become Proto-Time Lords. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎
 * i think the article says it best when it states "Madame Kovarian harvested Melody's embryonic DNA in order to clone more children like her. This resulted in the creation of River's clones, the Proto-Time Lords." the clones were the Proto-Time Lords (prototypes of Time Lords based off of River's Time Lord DNA). DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎


 * I never said anything about favoring one source over another; all valid sources are equal here. So, by your understanding @DiSoRiEnTeD1, a Proto-Time Lord is anyone who is part Time Lord? <font face="Georgia"><font color="#1E90FF">Snivy <font face="Arial">  <small style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; "><font face="Cambria"><font color="Grey">✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦   13:00, May 27, 2020 (UTC)
 * no, my understanding is that the Proto-Time Lords are only those that were genetically engenired prototypes created by Kovarian using River's Time Lord DNA. i cannot recall any mention of River herself being a Proto-Time Lord but, as i say, it has been a long time since i listened to the audios in question. if it just meant Human plus Time Lord it would include a lot more characters than just River and her clones; Donna Noble, the Meta-Crisis Doctor, Alex Campbell, to name a few. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎

River was genetically engineered by the Silence, it says so in A Good Man Goes to War. The Doctor even states that you can’t just cook up a Time Lord through exposure to the Time vortex and Vastra notes that it gave them a good start. River is the genetically engineered one, the rest of them were cloned from stem cells that were already “Proto-Time Lord”. SarahJaneFan ☎  13:10, May 27, 2020 (UTC)
 * it would be unfair of me to continue arguing my own point until I get a chance to relisten to the story. But even if what you’re saying is correct, “Proto-Time Lord” is not JUST human descended - as any race could be genetically engineered that way. So having human + Proto-time lord is a must in my eyes. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎


 * So, until we all re-listen to the audio, the claim that River is both Human + Time Lord and thereby (somehow) Proto-Time Lord + Human is unconfirmed. <font face="Georgia"><font color="#1E90FF">Snivy <font face="Arial">  <small style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; "><font face="Cambria"><font color="Grey">✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦   13:38, May 27, 2020 (UTC)
 * do not understand this comment in the slightest. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎


 * Allow me to simplify. The claim that River is both Human and Proto-Time Lord is (by your admission) speculative. <font face="Georgia"><font color="#1E90FF">Snivy <font face="Arial">  <small style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; "><font face="Cambria"><font color="Grey">✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦   13:45, May 27, 2020 (UTC)
 * how is it speculation? when according to User:SarahJaneFan's definition any species could be genetically engineered into a Proto-Time Lord so Human needs to be stated. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎


 * @SarahJaneFan never stated Human had to be added to the infobox, and even then that would be an assertion, not fact. End of the day, we can not decide on this until we have listened to the audio dramas again. <font face="Georgia"><font color="#1E90FF">Snivy <font face="Arial">  <small style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; "><font face="Cambria"><font color="Grey">✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦   14:00, May 27, 2020 (UTC)
 * if this sounds harsh, i apologise, but at this point i do not know what you are reading. three times now, in this thread alone, you have replied to something that i did not say - it is getting incredibly tiring. nowhere did i say User:SarahJaneFan stated that Human should be added to the infobox!
 * all i said was that Sarah has good memory of the story and gave the definition for River being a Proto-Time Lord as she was genetically engineered, but i pointed out that nowhere does it say that only humans can be genetically engineered to become Proto-Time Lords. therefore Proto-Time Lord does not go hand-in-hand with a human descended, and Human would have to be included in River's infobox as "Proto-Time Lord" itself does not cover the fact that she is part-Human. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎


 * Like I said, we will have to listen to the audio drama again to know for sure. <font face="Georgia"><font color="#1E90FF">Snivy <font face="Arial">  <small style="border-style: initial; border-color: initial; "><font face="Cambria"><font color="Grey">✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦   14:14, May 27, 2020 (UTC)
 * fine by me, but until then "Human" can stay in River's infobox as it was stated in A Good Man Goes to War and until we've relistened neither of us can come up with an argument against that. and even User:SarahJaneFan's definition means that we need to include Human in her infobox as Proto-Time Lord isnt just strictly for humans.
