Hi! The videos you recently uploaded have been deleted. Per Tardis:Video policy, only admins can upload videos to the site. However, if you have videos you want to recommend, you can do so at the following page: Tardis talk:Video recommendations. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  20:08, October 22, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've passed your comment on to User:CzechOut, who is the one who really takes care of that kind of thing. We've had some new users upload unlicensed videos recently, so I was just policing the wiki and saw your contributions. Thanks for your understanding! Shambala108 ☎  03:07, October 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey Nick! Sorry for the confusion. It's entirely my fault.  I hadn't updated our code which colours Wikia Staff members' sigs and logs entries a consistent colour, so you appeared in the logs to simply be a brand new user.  I've since made an exhaustive list at MediaWiki:Staff.css which is basically just an API dump af all current Staff members.  Hopefully, this will ensure that you and your colleagues at ComDev can do what you need to do without raising alarms.


 * It's important for me to stress that Shambala did exactly the right thing here, as we've recently endured some video vandalism by brand new users. Cleanup was a bear, because we didn't catch the video uploader until several dozen illegal assets were already on the site. Thus, I made a request for people to be on the lookout, around this busy time of the 50th anniversary, for any unusual uploading activity.  Yours appeared that way, even though it was completely the opposite.


 * Thus, I've restored your videos. You are obviously welcome to upload videos from w:c:video and to place them on pages. These are obviously new videos from the last time we examined Wikia's offerings, and we're glad to have them on board.


 * If there's any tiny criticism I'd have it's that you put them on the page in galleries, which we frown upon here. We've built in video hooks to our infoboxes, so all you really have to remember are the variables clip, clip2 and clip3 and you can quickly plug them into the infobox on the page!


 * We have over 850 completely legal videos here, both from Wikia licensing and from the BBC's official channels. But we are always hungry for more.


 * I want you and all of ComDev to feel completely free to come back any time and add any (legal) videos to any page. Or, if you don't have time to actually place the videos, just go to T:VREC, click the big button, and add the message.


 * We'll take all the help we can get! 06:02: Wed 23 Oct 2013


 * Just to keep you abreast of things, your videos were restored soon after this and have since gone on to populate several pages. They were great additions, and really helped us illustrate several pages, as can be seen by looking at the Wikia Library list. If you come across any more like this, please just upload 'em.


 * Also, a request: any chance of asking Wikia's video partners for video of The Sarah Jane Adventures? All of our existing video — not that there was much of it — was pulled, even though it all came from official BBC YouTube channels.  So we have nothing from that series, and can't figure out how to get anything legally.   20:44: Thu 31 Oct 2013
