User talk:Kirby-Force

'''Welcome to the Kirby-Force Thanks for your edits at The Doctor's Special Straw! 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

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. -- Tangerineduel (Talk) 18:03, 2 December 2011

Images on episode pages
You've added various images to story pages. While these are indeed official and BBC-licensed, T:IUP states that for story images, promotional images must not be used, and in-universe footage that's a "poignant scene" should be used instead. (Covers for novels and audio dramas are different, but the one's you've been editing aren't from those). -- Tybort (talk page) 22:01, December 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * You need to stop adding publicity photos to episode pages. Publicity photos are out of continuity and thus should not be used. unless you have a snapshot from the episode that ISN'T FROM THE BBC WESITE; don't change the main image. I will thank you for adding the images to Night and the Doctor, because those work fine. --OS24 17:37, December 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh coarse, as long as they aren't publicity photos. Oh, and that is cool I guess. --OS24 18:09, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

Protected pages
Please do not adjust link names or create pages in violation of our Tardis:Spoiler policy. The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe will be available for editing following its broadcast. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:04, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

User page images
You are exeding the 3 image limit on your user page. Please see |User Image Policy for more details. --Revan\Talk 18:08, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

That is irrelevant, it still violates the User image policy. Please select three of the images you wish to keep and remove the others from your user page. Thanks. --Revan\Talk 18:32, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

birthday!
happy birthday! Metardis talk to me 14:39, December 8, 2011 (UTC)

User Image Policy
You have ignored warnings to remove images from your user page and are still in violation of the Tardis:User Image Policy. I have deleted all but three images from your user page so that you are no longer violating the rules of this wikia. In future please adhere by the rules of this wikia, especially after being warned to do so by admin staff. Thanks. --Revan\Talk 16:09, December 8, 2011 (UTC)

Galleries and other things
Thanks for your question. No, it would not be appropriate or allowed to have galleries in the instances you mentioned.

Please familiarise yourself with Help:Gallery. In particular, T:GAL RULES forbids the use of galleries on in-universe pages (which means no character pages shall have galleries), and greatly limits their use on story pages (allowing their use only on covers). You wanted to have a gallery of pics from the body of an episode on that episode's page, and this is specifically outlawed in the final sentence of T:GAL RULES, point 4.

Additionally, please remember that you are required to sign your name each and every time you leave a message on someone's talk page by our discussion policy and signature policy. I shouldn't have to look in the page history just to figure out who left a comment so that I can reply to them.

Finally, I hope that your very strange use of title case is not an example of the way you normally edit here. In just about every instance, you should be using sentence case. Please Don't Capitalise Every Word.

Image tags
Hi, please don't tag a publicity shot as a screenshot. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:50, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
