Hello to everyone. I've been fan for a long while, and this wiki lets me indulge in a slightly obsessive passion.

I can get a bit obsessive and methodical and usually start with one page in a line (of novels/audios/TV stories) and then focus on one portion of it (like the external links or the images), go through a long line and fix just that, and then go and fix the rest. (Which is why the Virgin New Adventures, BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures, Virgin Bernice Summerfield New Adventures and the Big Finish - Bernice Summerfield Series have a hand or two of mine in their (individual page) creation/major work.

I've also been working to make sure that any novels, audios and TV shows all conform to the Manual of Style.

Favourite Additions

 * One of my favourite recent additions is The Doctor Who Cookbook which is actually sitting on my shelf, one of the oddest pieces of Doctor Who publishing...with some quite good recipes.
 * The Alcohol, Tea, and Coffee pages which I'm also quite happy with (and all the useless knowledge they bring).
 * Also I'm quite pleased with The Dark Dimension, mainly because it's all accurately researched with proper referencing and all that jazz.

Other recent work
I'm also working on the DWMs, when ever I feel like it, a lot of typing and copying into from the magazines, so it's an off and on thing, in which I pick a year and try to get through that year in a week or less.

I've also been working my way through the TV stories making sure they all conform to the manual of style, doing some edits here and there, updating the infoboxes to the 'ClassicTV' inforbox (which incorporates the Season, which also alleviates the confusion from the standard TV infobox), organising the external links so they're all aranged in a similar method, and other various small jobs.
 * Currently finished all the William Hartnell and Patrick Troughton eras, it's not quite totally boring and there is some satisfaction to seeing all the black and white era done, but me and the obsessiveness of it will make me do all the stories...then stumble at Shada as to whether to include it in the story count or not.

Other Info

 * I don't care that much about rumours, supposition or any wanderings on the net and elsewhere.
 * Articles need to be written from actual sources, Rumours don't count as "sources".
 * Supposition or 'stuff that will probably happen based on these sheep entrails' (or alternatively stuff that hasn't been released for general media consumption) doesn't count either.


 * I'm no great fan of copying huge chunks from wikipedia, the point (as I see it) is to be creating something unique here, not just a copy of any given Wikipedia entry.
 * I'm usually around a lot of the time, I'm also an admin.

Other Wikias I've frequented

 * Hitchhikiers Wiki (Trying to get over 100 articles, though I spend more time here at the TARDIS Index File than anywhere else)
 * Futurama Wiki (Actually this one I just stopped in to have a look and couldn't help but do a tiny bit of editing).
 * The Babylon Project (Again more like the above, though occasionally it'll be more than a stop in)
 * Stargate Command Wiki (Occasionally fixing links in their Atlantis pages)
