User talk:Danniesen

'''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

Daleks' Master Plan
Hi! I have temporarily removed your edit from The Impossible Astronaut (TV story) because I would like to know a bit more about the source of your edit. Please tell me which specific episode of The Daleks' Master Plan (TV story) has the First Doctor commenting about Stetsons and having one shot off his head, and if possible I'd like a little more detail about the scene. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  22:05, September 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * I am not quite sure, I can't find them on the Internet to freely watch anymore. It just seems like everything I hear from everywhere is that the First Doctor has said this or a similar line. And The Impossible Astronaut matches this. But I'm sorry but I can't find it anymore. --DCLM ☎  07:05, September 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * One of the basic rules of this wiki is that any material in an in-universe article must be properly sourced with a valid source. If you remembered seeing/hearing something like this in one of the episodes, that could be sourced to the episode. But reading other people's comments on the internet is not considered a valid source — it's always best to verify information yourself before adding it in. The internet is wildly unreliable. Having seen the available 3 episodes (more than once) and listened to the audio of the entire story, I am reasonably sure the First Doctor says no such thing. In addition, if he had said it, someone more familiar with the story than us would have surely added that information by now.


 * In short, it's best to be familiar with the story material when you add information. For now, we won't add it back unless/until someone can verify it. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  14:32, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

Images
Hi! Please read through our image policies, which you can find at Thread:148148. The images you uploaded today, while having the correct license and the correct format, were way too big in width for our wiki's use. You can find all our image guidelines at the thread link I posted. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  16:16, September 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, hi again... Thanks. That was my bad sorry. --DCLM ☎  16:52, September 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * I looked through the guidelines and I seem to be unable to find anything about how to control the size of the image. Perhaps it doesn't say so, or maybe I just couldn't find it. --DCLM ☎  16:59, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

Forum posts at Thread 164874
Hi! Based on some of your recent posts at Thread:164874, I feel like I have to point you to a couple of our most important policies.

Please take some time to read through Tardis:Spoiler policy. As you can see, we don't allow any spoilers, anywhere (with two exceptions). That includes story titles, which you posted in Thread:164874 and User:Skittles the hog has since removed.

More importantly, please read through Tardis:No personal attacks. It stresses that we want everyone to feel welcome on this wiki. Telling someone to leave may not be considered an actual attack, but it's pretty close. Skittles the Hog has been extremely patient with you in this matter; in the past people have been blocked for similar behavior.

I certainly understand your frustration with the back and forth edits regarding Missy/the Master. Just keep in mind that many new users don't even know the forums exist; pointing them in that direction, whether in edit summaries or posts on their talk pages, is probably the best way to handle things. Thanks for your attention. Shambala108 ☎  18:02, November 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * About the thing with the title I mentioned, yeah I know that there's a no spoiler-policy, and I should have said next episode. Very sorry, my bad. It was a mind-slip that one, I didn't realize I was spoiling, I just wrote a reply and didn't think further about it. Sorry.


 * And about the thing I said to that user, I'm sorry about that too, I just meant the thread itself as he seemed like he was only going to say that we "denied". Sorry again. --DCLM ☎  19:17, November 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * But I would like to know what you mean by extremely patient on the matter. I have never (before that on the thread apparently) said something attack-worthy to anyone (not that I remember). --DCLM ☎  19:22, November 4, 2014 (UTC)

Real world
Hi! Please take the time to read through Tardis:In-universe perspective and T:NO RW. Several of your recent edits violate our policies regarding info that comes from the real world and its place in the DWU. To put it in a nutshell, if it's not stated in a story, it doesn't go on the page. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  02:29, December 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * I did. And I understand now. --DCLM ☎  02:31, December 27, 2014 (UTC)

Facebook
Hi! Please re-write your edits at Facebook into the past tense, as is required for all in universe articles. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  00:26, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, of course. That was me forgetting it. --DCLM ☎  17:50, December 29, 2014 (UTC)

Re: image size
Hi! In the majority of cases, we don't change the sizes of images that are placed on articles. Shambala108 ☎  03:50, December 30, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oops sorry for the misunderstanding. If you take a look at Help:Photos, it might be able to answer your question. Shambala108 ☎  15:33, December 30, 2014 (UTC)

Re: wiki help
Sorry about that. If something similar happens in the future, and it affects all wikis you try, then you'd probably need to post a message on the main wikia help area, and if it only affects this wiki, you can post a message at Board:The Drax Cave. Shambala108 ☎  15:06, May 21, 2015 (UTC)

Series 9 page
Hi! Please be careful not to post spoilers in your edit summaries. Please familiarize yourself with Tardis:Spoiler policy. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  05:32, June 11, 2015 (UTC)

Videos
Hi! Please note that, per Tardis:Video policy, only admins are permitted to upload videos to this wiki. If you would like to recommend a video for uploading, you may do so at Tardis:Video recommendations. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  18:37, August 14, 2015 (UTC)

Re: leaked episode
Hi! Leaked information is not allowed anywhere on the wiki. Without giving away any spoilery information, could you give me a couple of details? Specifically, I need to know the episode number or date of airing of the episode leaked. And is the entire episode leaked? Just a portion? Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  20:06, August 16, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Moffat's previews
Thanks for the heads-up. I don't really follow the current series so it help to have someone giving me updates.

BTW, if you have something you want to add at Series 9 (Doctor Who) (which I've locked due to the leaks you mentioned), just post it at Howling:The Howling and then drop me a note to head over there and I'll add it to the page. Shambala108 ☎  22:17, August 17, 2015 (UTC)

Howling posts
Hi! If possible, when you post something on the Howling for the series 9 page, I'd prefer if you could post your info at the Howling in the exact format you want it on the series 9 page (so that I can just copy and paste), and leave a note in the post where you want the information located (for example, lead, cast/crew, rumors, etc). You have far more experience in editing this page than I do, and you have a clear idea of where you want the information. It would make it easier for me, and would reflect what you want much better. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  18:26, August 19, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hey, I just wanted to let you know I didn't ignore your post about temporarily un-protecting the series 9 page; I was just trying to decide whether to do it and how it would work. But then today I remembered (stupid me) that I can protect the page against new and unregistered users but allow admins and established users. So you should be able to use it. If you could give it a try and let me know if it works, that would save us both a lot of work. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  20:40, September 15, 2015 (UTC)

Video links
Hi! I just wanted to let you know that, per Tardis:Video policy, we don't allow links to off-site videos. I had to remove the link you posted at Talk:Ohila and Talk:Prologue (webcast), but you can recommend the video be uploaded at Tardis:Video recommendations and then post it on those talk pages once an admin uploads it. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  01:20, September 13, 2015 (UTC)

Page moves
Hi! Please note that, per Thread:128198, only admins are permitted to move pages. See the thread for the reasons and the procedures. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  17:08, September 20, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Questions
Yeah, I understand that any image is from the episode is fine to be used on the wikia, I'm just saying that as this is a twist to make you watch the next episode, it is not the most representative example of the episode and thus is not the image we should use the infobox. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 19:42, September 20, 2015 (UTC)

Why did you revert my edit? The episode was already over when I began editing.

Plagiarism
Hi! Please don't add material from other websites to this wiki. As stated in Tardis:Plagiarism, we only want original material on this wiki. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  21:44, September 26, 2015 (UTC)
 * We only want user-created material on the wiki. The synopsis copied from the BBC website does not count. A synopsis, if I recall CzechOut's definition correctly, is about three sentences summing up what the episode is about. But it has to be original material. Thanks!
