Ralbot (talk) 21:47, 2 April 2008 (UTC) Result!I have to say for the first time we managed to hang on to an image without it being ripped away from us! If we can try and find somthing "real world" notable about each episode just like the first use of Massive FX technology of television and then also mention it in the text. Well done to you for getting such a good picture and hopefully this will continue into the future.--Wiggs (talk) 07:30, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
BLPJust a note on your use of "BLP"... Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons deals with controversial information on real persons, like actors, but not characters. So removing "Rose Tyler" under BLP doesn't make sense. — Edokter • Talk • 12:46, 3 April 2008 (UTC) That heading was named like that for a reasonTo make sure it was actually read. A lot of work went into assessing all of those articles by so very few people who deserve to get a great deal of attention for their hard work. They deserve major kudos! - LA @ 07:23, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

It's in the bin. She'll understand.What do you reckon to me omitting the "Continuity" section? I think I can integrate it well into the Plot, seeing as Donna's a returning character. Sceptre (talk) 18:32, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

ApologiesI may have come across a bit grumpier here than perhaps I should. I don't think that a block is merited in this instance, though! GBT/C 12:04, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Re: Doctor Who citationCitation was found under the broadcast and reception heading: "The preview version of the episode supplied to the press and aired at the press launch omitted the scene which contained Rose; before broadcast, only the production team, Tate, and Tennant had seen the scene." This is cited to the episode's podcast, reference 3 in the article. U-Mos (talk) 12:27, 6 April 2008 (UTC) Edit summariesPlease watch your civility with your edit summaries.

Infinite QuestI wanted to ask something about the animated episode 'Infinite Quest'. Ive never understood why its has been listed as part of the main series as it has never seemed to contain any canon in it; it even says something like this in the episode's page The canonicity of The Infinite Quest is not clear, even though it was commissioned and televised by the BBC I'll admit I never watched the episode so could you explain to me some reasons as to why it has been included in the list of main episodes.

HelloJust popping by to say hello. --Dweller (talk) 15:15, 9 April 2008 (UTC) Your recent editsYou seem to be involved in some form of dispute with User:Bringbackthetylers as far as I can see it stems around this edit. Looking though your edit history I cannot see that you have tried to engage is discussion with this editor to find out the reasoning behind it. Please assume good faith before throwing warnings and threats around. If you have any issues or wish to discuss how to carry this on please don';t hesitate to get in touch. Khukri 21:06, 13 April 2008 (UTC) I know I'm about twenty hours late with my writeup, but I've had a go trimming the crap from the article. I just need to get behind the red button on Friday (as the commentary is lacking) and add some reviews, and I'll put it up for GAC. Sceptre (talk) 00:13, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
I understand. I hadn't realized the image needed to be registered beyond what was already done. Someone beat me to removing it. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 08:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
3RR warning meI'm well aware of WP:3RR thank you. Also, you might be interested in reading the Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars essay if you haven't done so already. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 14:43, 14 April 2008 (UTC) Basil or SybilHello :) With regards to The Fires of Pompeii ... So what do we do when the referenced source is obviously wrong? Sadly the BBC falls short in this department. When they often can't get continuity wrong within their own productions it's probably unsurprising that they misattribute quotes across different shows. The apologetic line "He's from Barcelona" is uttered by Basil, Sybil and Polly at various times but is most readily associated with Basil Fawlty, regardless of what a page on the Beeb's Doctor Who site says. I'm assuming the solution is to produce alternative references but I'm puzzled as to why IMDB wouldn't qualify... Kind regards, Chris, the current user of 62.25.109.195 (talk) 14:42, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Re:BringbackthetylersYeah, on afterthought he deserves to be blocked. I think he's deleted some of his warnings, that's what confused me. ...... Dendodge.TalkHelp 14:32, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
While it wasn't vandalism per se, he does have a history of adding unsourced content—and a prior block on 1 April. Based on the warning on 17 April and the addition this morning, I blocked him for 5 days. —C.Fred (talk) 15:15, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Your warning re:Donna NobleJust for the record, that was my edit. For some reason the cookie didn't hold and I was logged off at the time. I feel your warning was a bit out of line. Please WP:Assume good faith before making such warnings. Thanks. Administrator 23skidoo (talk) 15:23, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
ThanksThanks for the link. I couldn't find an admin, so I sent it to any random user. Corn.u.co.pia Discussion 16:11, 22 April 2008 (UTC) The TylersOn the one hand, I'm hoping he'll honor the warning and, if not turn around and be a good contributor, at least stop contributing junk. If he keeps going - well, now he can't say he wasn't warned when a block follow again. —C.Fred (talk) 13:06, 25 April 2008 (UTC) Last of the Time LordsIf you check, it is actually standard to say "open to interpretation" - that's the text on the boiler plate, as I said in my edit summary. Thanks. 92.13.108.88 (talk) 16:50, 25 April 2008 (UTC) A friendly tipThis is not a warning :) If you think someone else has been rude to you it's no reason to be rude back. In truth, it'll only make things worse and could, in the end, get you blocked. Please try to stay cool, ok? By the way, I like the Horehound bug in the picture of the day above. Cheers! Gwen Gale (talk) 18:46, 25 April 2008 (UTC) IncivilityI just glanced at the dispute with AuburnPilot after it was brought to my attention. I know that you are not particularly fond of me. All the same, I hope you'll at least do the courtesy of listening here. I do not disagree that AuburnPilot was a bit curt with you. However, I think your reaction to him was unhelpful and did not do anything to improve the situation. As I see it, there were two major problems.
I hope you'll think about this in your future interactions. I know you often feel frustrated by how you're treated by other editors, and I'll agree that they are often curt or even rude. On the other hand, I've edited here quite a while without running into rudeness with the frequency you seem to - it may be worth considering whether there are things you can do that would help defuse situations as well. Not overreacting would be a big step in this direction. There are probably others as well, which I'm happy to try to discuss with you. But this is a very important one, since in overreacting to minor incivility you're at times straying into severe incivility and personal attacks that are larger problems than the initial incidents you're responding to. Phil Sandifer (talk) 19:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC) BoxI'm keeping it mysterious, but watch my edits and it should become apparent. Sceptre (talk) 16:14, 26 April 2008 (UTC) Tylers revisitedFrankly, the diff you gave was a reasonable and almost good-faith edit: removing commentary from a list article. I agree that some of the edits are borderline; however, before I block the user indefinitely, I'd like to have a smoking gun, this-is-the-kind-of-edit-we-don't-want-repeats-of edit to point to in justification of the block. —C.Fred (talk) 16:27, 28 April 2008 (UTC) Picking your battles(I'm leaving the same comment on Matthew's talk page) Look, I've encountered both of you before. And, despite the fact that you've both driven me up a wall on several occasions, I respect you both and I respect your contributions. I think you're good editors, and I'm glad we have you. However, as you have no doubt noticed, you both... annoy people. Including each other. And there are some concrete reasons for that - you both tend to dogmatically hold to your positions, even when those positions are a bit outside of mainstream consensus. And you both tend to, if you will, edit to win. That is, you tend to behave in disputes with the goal of getting your way instead of getting the dispute resolved well. This is understandable - we all do it, and I'm plenty guilty of it in the past. But it's not helpful to the project, because it leads to hurt feelings and edit wars. And it's important to have a good sense of when to pick your battles. In your edit war over the next Doctor Who episode, the failure on both of your parts to wisely pick your battles and have a sense of when to walk away was the single biggest problem with the dispute. Both of you had defensible positions, and while I am inclined to agree with one over the other (I won't say who) I can see both of your points. But, simply put, there was no reason for you to revert war. The damage done by having the article have an undesirable image or no image for a few hours or a few days is trivial, in the grand scheme of things - far less damage than a temper-flaring dispute over the image. Both of you should have had the good sense to walk away from the dispute, state your case on the talk page, and let other people look at it and make the decision. And neither of you should have gotten so emotionally invested in it. It was childish, and it did harm to the project. Both of you need to learn when not to fight. There are cases where aggressively and angrily holding the line on an edit is valuable and necessary - biographies of living people are the best example. But an image on an episode of a television series is not one of those cases. It is better to go slowly and harmoniously on such articles than to go quickly and angrily. Please. Both of you. In the future, when your tempers are flaring, whether at each other or at somebody else, ask yourself - is this worth it? Is the benefit to the project of getting this point right in the article immediately as opposed to waiting and letting other people weigh in really worth the drama and anger that an edit or flame war will cause? Is reverting now or replying now to the comment that's aggravating you going to make the situation better? And if it's not worth it... learn to walk away. Phil Sandifer (talk) 16:46, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Terribly sorry!I mistakenly blocked you for about 3 seconds this morning. I have immediately reversed this error. I was sorting through a reverted talk page of a vandal and you had issued the final. I blocked the wrong user! Please keep up the good work and I will a) be more careful b) go get another cup of coffee! Toddst1 (talk) 16:06, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Hmm - I can now edit, it looks like I was unblocked but the template not then updated. Thanks anyway! —TreasuryTag—t—c 17:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC) |
