Hi! I'm Nate, and I'm a huge nerd. Nothing is canon, but Faction Paradox is canoner than NuWho. Paul Cornell still hasn't gotten back to me about how much he'll charge for the license to the maid from Timewyrm: Revelation, but when he does, the spinoff will definitely satisfy the four little rules. Obverse Books is the best current publisher of Doctor Who, and I will challenge you to Rock Paper Scissors if you disagree.

Disclaimer: I am aware of T:NPA, and I never intend to attack anyone through what I say on this site. If any reader takes unintended offense at anything I say, I sincerely apologize; feel free to contact me about it and I'll retract the perceived insult at earliest opportunity.

Things I'd currently like changed on the wiki
Big thanks to all the admins who have helped with things on this list!

Renames

 * The Remote should be renamed Remote for the same reason that Time Lord isn't The Time Lords.
 * The War should be renamed War in Heaven for disambiguation purposes.
 * Prologue (short story) and Epilogue (short story) need to be renamed Prologue (ST short story) and Epilogue (ST short story).
 * Timeshare (short story) should be renamed Timeshare (VD short story).
 * Vulcan (The Taking of Planet 5) should be renamed Vulcan (Invasion of the Daleks).
 * Ninth audio stories should be renamed Ninth Doctor audio stories.
 * The Story of the Peace (short story) should be renamed A Story of the Peace (short story).
 * Blake (The Web of Fear) should be renamed Nicholas Blake.
 * Capitol should be renamed The Capitol.
 * Salyavin should be renamed Chronotis.

Merges

 * Virgin Bernice Summerfield New Adventures should be merged into Virgin New Adventures: see Merger with Virgin New Adventures and User:NateBumber/Sandbox4.
 * Interference - Book One (novel) and Interference - Book Two (novel) should be merged into Interference (novel) (eg my Sandbox), per this discussion.

Policy

 * The Infinity Doctors should be recategorised as main universe and The Infinity Doctors universe should be deleted, per Thread:209497.
 * Especially with the advent of NuWho novelisations, it's about time that we give novelisations full validity, and (novel) dab terms to boot. See Thread:231243. Here are some pages that could be renamed once this passes:
 * Roberts (Doctor Who and the Silurians) into George Roberts.
 * Walker (The Sea Devils) into Robert Walker.
 * Radio operator (The Sea Devils) into Sharps.
 * Mitchell (The Sea Devils) into Tony Mitchell.
 * Munro (Terror of the Zygons) into Jock Munro.
 * Barclay (The Tenth Planet) into Tom Barclay.
 * Collins (Pyramids of Mars) into Josiah Collins.
 * The Squire (The Visitation) into John (The Visitation).
 * Co-pilot (The Horns of Nimon) into Sardor.
 * Pilot (The Horns of Nimon) into Sekkoth.
 * Soldier (Planet of the Spiders) into Hodges (Planet of the Spiders).
 * Price (Fury from the Deep) into David Price.
 * Perkins (Fury from the Deep) into Ronald Perkins.
 * Sergeant (The Highlanders) into Klegg.
 * Caretaker (Scream of the Shalka) into Mitch Stannard.
 * Joe (Scream of the Shalka) into Joe Latham.
 * Cass (The Night of the Doctor) into Cass Fermazzi.
 * Miranda (Doctor Who) into Miranda Gerhardt.
 * Bruce (Doctor Who) into Bruce Gerhardt.
 * And presumably many more; I only made it to 1979 during this list. This is also excluding a vast number of characters who are given new first or last names but who don't need dab terms.
 * I don't like T:DAB OTHER very much, as expressed in Thread:225477.
 * Rather than the fan-created groupings of "Eighth Doctor Adventures", "Past Doctor Adventures", and "New Series Adventures", I think the distinction between different Doctors' novels could be better achieved by prose fiction overviews for Eighth Doctor novels etc analogous to Eighth Doctor comic stories. See First Doctor novels and User:NateBumber/Sandbox3.
