Can't seem to find this complaint of which you speak. What exactly is the issue and how would you suggest we handle it? 17:04: Sat 08 Jun 2013
 * We need to clearly establish that information from the BBC can still be a spoiler. The 7b Blu-ray fiasco was an "official", if mistaken, release from the BBC.  Many, many press releases come from the BBC which run afoul of our spoiler policy.  It's important to convey that something can be a spoiler even if it comes from the BBC.  We're talking about the organisation that we know robbed us of the surprise of a ninth regeneration and any suspense about the ending of The Parting of the Ways.


 * It seems to me that we have to weigh the costs and benefits here. Are the views of one person on Skype enough to muddle the clarity of the statement as worded?  They might be, and I'm not opposed to kicking around some modification of language.


 * But — 


 * This wiki just spent a week last month being incredibly, pro-actively pro BBC. At their request, we took extraordinary steps to help keep their secrets.  Is it reasonable to interpret us as anti-BBC just because we've said that the BBC spoils their own product?  Everyone knows they spoil all the time. They spoiled the regeneration on the beach thing of The Impossible Astronaut.  They spoiled the cliffhanger of Daleks in Manhattan, back when they still owned and operated Radio Times. They spoiled the whole Silents/Silence thing, prior to the release of The Wedding of River Song. And, of course, they famously spoiled the 20th anniversary by okaying the release of The Five Doctors (novelisation) two weeks in advance of The Five Doctors (TV story).


 * Rule #1 of any fan trying to avoid spoilers is to stay away from the letters B, B, and C.


 * Is it really an insult to the BBC to point that out? I dunno, but it's certainly not slander.  According to what our definition of spoiler is, the BBC do in fact spoil stuff on a regular basis.  21:12: Sat 08 Jun 2013

Why did you delete my page? It obeys all of the community guidelines and is 100% true. I spent all afternoon in Hospital making that while I was waiting for the GP. This is just stupid and mean.

The Name of the Doctor
Hello :) Could you explain me why you reverted my edit in the continuity section of The Name of the Doctor, so that I won't fail in future? Thank you :) --HarveyWallbanger ☎  20:34, August 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your detailed answer :) I am not convinced 100%. The case I mentioned is when the Fourth Doctor wakes up for the first time and tries to flee with the Tardis in front of Sarah Jane and the Brigadier, in a hurry, because he says he doesn't like goodbyes. Eventually he changes his mind, I know, but... I won't complain again :) --HarveyWallbanger ☎  18:27, August 12, 2013 (UTC)
