User talk:Tardis1963

Hi Tardis1963 -- we are excited to have Doctor Who Collectors Wiki as part of the Wikia community!

Starting a new wiki can be a big job, but don't worry, the Wikia Community Team is here to help! We have put together a few guides to getting started. They say imitation is the best form of flattery so absolutely check out other wikis on Wikia for ideas on layout, ways to organize your content, etc. We are all one big family at Wikia and the most important thing is to have fun!


 * Our guide to Getting Started gives you 5 things you can do right now to set your wiki up for success
 * We also put together some Advice On Starting a Wiki which provides a more a in-depth look at some of the important things you should consider when building a wiki
 * If you are new to wikis in general than we recommend checking our new user FAQ

If you need help (which trust me we ALL do) you can access our full in-depth help at Help Wikia, or email us through our contact form.

Now, go edit! We look forward to seeing this project thrive!

Best wishes, Catherine Munro

Hi! Congrats Tardis! Let me know how I can help. The Logo Creation Wiki creates logos and customized skins, but judging from the looks of it, it doesn't seem very active. I am ok in a paint program and if all else fails, I could make a temporary logo if you gave me some pictures or ideas. You can [http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Advice:Raising_your_wiki%27s_Google_ranking#Step_4:_Submit_your_URL_to_Google. submit the wiki's url to Google] to help to improve your Google ranking. When I founded the IAW I used this page a lot to help. I hope that something of this was useful to you :) Keep me posted! — Mary ( talk ) 03:59, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I just submitted it to Google. I will probably try to make my own logo, but if that fails, I will probably get your help. Also, I will still edit the IAW, however I have a big job on my hands here, so we'll see how it goes.


 * 3 pages and counting. Also, I know you don't know much about the content of the DWCW, but what do you think of the one page I have made so far - The Green Death (DVD)?Tardis1963 04:04, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

18 pages and counting :) The Green Death looks great! It has a lot of good content. You seem to gave a nice category structure up and running. I replied to you on my talk page, and I started working on the main page. I didn't really know what part of the article you wanted featured... so I just used the first cover blurb, tell me if you want that or the pic changed. — Mary ( talk ) 15:10, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Colors and forum
Hi Tardis! Or do you prefer Gary now? I was wondering if you want the colors of the headers on the main page to remain the same, or if you want to change them. If you look here there is a chart of colors to choose from. I would be more than happy to change the templates. Another thought I had, was since this seems like it is going to become a very social wiki, was should I create another forum? Maybe so users can talk about what items they have or want, or the benifits of one item over another... Does this appeal to you? And if so, what should I name it? Thanks — Mary ( talk ) 20:38, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You can call me whichever, Tardis or Gary. Can you make all the headers on the main page be that same blue. With the forums, could you make a seperate one for ech of the types of item on the main page (DVD's, VHS's etc.) Tardis1963 20:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Great work!
Great to see this wiki taking off, Tardis -- please keep up the good work! Let us know if there's anything we can do to help. Good luck! — Catherine (talk) 18:42, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

absent
Hi, sorry that I haven't done anything. I had to leave town unexpectedly and I didn't have access to a computer. Anything I can do to help out right now? Good looking skin by the way. — Mary ( talk ) 23:32, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * There's nothing I need help with right now, but thanks for offering. This skin is the one I have been using ever since I started at the IAW, so I decided to make it the default one for the DWCW.


 * Do you like how the DWCW is going? I have nearly got 200 pages so I am really happy. When finished, this wiki should be huge. I just hope I'm not the only one editing. I have advertised here on a few Doctor Who sites, but no one has really taken any notice. I am not finished with the DVD's yet, and that is the smallest category. I should over take the IAW in a couple of weeks. Tardis1963 07:22, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Wikis will hopefully never be finished :) It would be pretty easy to take over the IAW at this point - there is no activity there. If all goes well I plan on adding a few more episode pages in the next week. I am really impressed with the DWCW! I think that you should try to get this wiki a spotlight, that might help increase traffic. Do you ever edit on the Doctor Who wiki? If you do, I would talk about this wiki on your user page. — Mary ( talk ) 02:54, 7 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, if they keep releasing new Doctor Who stuff at the rate they are going now, it will never end. Some more episode pages on the IAW would be great. I would like to make it a spotlight, but can't really be bothered to make a picture thing. I haven't edited the Doctor Who Wiki, but I have thought about advertising there. Maybe one day soon. I might wait until I've done all the DVD's.


 * P.S. Thanks for all your help and support! Tardis1963 06:36, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

You don't need to make a banner to get a spotlight - someone at wikia does that for you. I have really enjoyed helping out here, I wish I could do more! — Mary ( talk ) 23:35, 7 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, I didn't know that. Maybe I will apply for one then. If you really want to help out more, I could point you to a site which I get most of my infomation from. It is http://www.timelash.com/tardis. Tardis1963 02:11, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Yo!
Hey dude! I just got you're message. Anyway, I'm also Kinnikufan, I just made a new title because I think "Time Lord Enthusiast" is much more appropriate.

Anyway, here are the answers
 * How long have you been a Doctor Who fan? (since 2006, forgot which episode... although I've known of Doctor Who since I was little.)
 * How did you find out about the Doctor Who Collectors Wiki? (You told me about it when I was still Kinnikufan.)
 * Are you a user on the main Doctor Who Wiki? (Yes)
 * How long have you been editing wikis? Are you experienced or just a beginner? (I'd say I'm experienced. I've created at least three wikis, mostly on anime but I've kinda lost interest. My first was the Kinnikuman Wiki (hence the original username), then Wiki Ippo, then Gantz Wiki. They're all interesting series if you ever want to check them out. I've been doing that since September of 2007, so over a year)
 * What other sorts of TV shows are you into? (I'm also into a lot: Doctor Who, anime, comedies, there are a lot.)

I said I may not be able to help, but then I remembered I could copy stuff from amazon.com, but only the US releases. I'm not gonna be much help on the UK/Australian/other releases. Peace...Time Lord Enthusiast 23:38, 16 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah. I see now. It's OK that you can't help with the UK/Australian/other releases because I have most of the Australian releases, and they are practically the same as the UK ones. Tardis1963 06:17, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

RE:Just a quick note
Quite a bit of writing but Ok. I'll put 'United States release'.

Also: Yes, they did. Castrovalva, The Keeper of Traken and Logopolis were released in the United States separately as well in the New Beginnings set. Although I bought all three of them in boxed set and just included them in their separate entries just cause they were there.

And more: That's sounds fine to add Bernice Summerfield's adventure to the NA. I just think there should be a divider, with "Doctor Who" in the first 61 novels and then "Bernice Summerfield" in the remainder of them.

Even more: Sorry, I got lazy and forgot to take the links off the actor's names since I copied the special features from the Doctor Who Wiki. I also think this should just be for merchandise.

Some more again: Yes, the US DVD's are made by BBC Video Worldwide. I'm not sure about the other part. The US DVD's don't have 'ABC DVD' on them so you can do with them what you want.

I'll make sure not to be lazy and be at least a little more efficient. Time Lord Enthusiast 23:03, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for Thanking Me!
I saw the mention yesterday and I was proud of it.

About the whole "an" thing, you can do what you want. I just saw the TARDIS Index File capitalized it so I figured I would.

I wasn't sure how to do the infoboxes for the CD's so I just copied the DVD's infoboxes.

Well, thanks for the thanks! (^_^) Always nice to help a fellow Whovian. Time Lord Enthusiast 22:56, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Yep!
It's actually about passed midnight where I am but I took a nap a few hours ago so I'm not very tired. You can see that I was just adding the episode pages just to put them up.

Also, Should we give four separate entries for the serials of "The Trial of a Time Lord" ("The Mysterious Planet", "Mindwarp", "Terror of the Vervoids", & "The Ultimate Foe")? I was just thinking about redirecting them, what do you think?Time Lord Enthusiast 06:26, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I'll do that. Time Lord Enthusiast 06:32, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Just noticed that there's a 16 hour difference between our time zones, I'm behind you by quite a few hours. It's interesting about the different time zones in all the different countries of the world, like Australia & The United States for example. Anyway, I'll be off all next week for our American Thanksgiving and I have nothing else to do so I might be able to communicate with you more since I won't be at school during the day.

P.S. in case I forget, happy early birthday, you'll be 16 right? I remember turning 16 last year (I'm 17 now...) It's pretty cool to have you're birthday so close to Doctor Who. Anyway, I think I'll be going to bed in a few minutes... I'm actually getting tired again. Peace Time Lord Enthusiast 06:50, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Well then happy 15th birthday and thanks for the good night. Peace... (again) (that's pretty much my catchphrase here, never use it outside this website). Time Lord Enthusiast 06:58, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

350th Article
It's must be one of the episodes, but as which episode exactly, I'm not sure. I was just creating the pages without even noticing them. Sorry dude... Time Lord Enthusiast 06:30, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

400th Article
Ok, I was able to check which article became the 400th article. It was The Next Doctor, which I can't wait to see when it comes out.

To be honest, I have no idea. I haven't watched a lot of the episodes when they first air. But, the two main American networks that air them are the Sci-Fi Channel and BBC America. But, I'll wait to watch it. I may end up watching it online instead. Seeing as how when it first airs, it'll be on most of the well known video sites (youtube, veoh, etc...). They'll all be deleted with in around a few days after the first airing though so I'll check my computer through those websites during the first few days after Christmas. Time Lord Enthusiast 00:41, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

B-Day, School, & CD's
I know I already said it earlier but happy birthday!!!

Also, you said next week is your last week of Grade 10? That's awesome! Here in the US, our school starts between late August and early September and then ends between late May and earlier June. I'm currently in Grade 11. It's quite interesting how different countries have school throughout different times.

Finally, I see that you've got CD's of some of the missing episodes. I've been curious to know, how are they? Are they worth the money? I know it's the only way to view (or in this case hear) these episodes. Since Christmas is coming up, I've been thinking about getting some of the missing episode CD's. Time Lord Enthusiast 06:31, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Sweet. Unfortunately, my computer is old and has some technical problems so I wasn't able to listen to the clip. But I'll take your word on it. I've been wanting to listen (and in the case of parts 2,5,10 watch) The Daleks' Masterplan. I think I'll definitely add it my Christmas list.

Also, it seems you've got a winter break between school years while here we have summer breaks. You just make sure to study hard and pass those exams. Don't worry about the site next week, since I'm off, I'll make sure to keep it in good shape. Studying isn't fun but if you can work hard, you can make loads of money one day. (^_^) Good luck, man! Time Lord Enthusiast 08:20, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I was planning on getting the Lost in Time set eventually. It's gives those orphaned episodes a good home.

Also, I'm sorry, I forgot that the summer/winter times are switched between you and I seeing as how we each live on the opposite sides of the world. Again, sorry, I just had an idiot moment right there.

Well, I don't think I have anything to complain about, we have quite a bit of time off. During the school year, we have 1 week off in November for our American Thanksgiving (which is what's going on now), 2 weeks off for Christmas/New Years, and 1 week off in March for Spring Break (don't really know what the reason for this one is). In between school years, we have around 10-12 weeks off (depending on where you live in the country) usually between June/July/August. Time Lord Enthusiast 12:24, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

BabelColour & The Ten Doctors
Hello! I've found these fan-made Doctor Who things, which have gained a lot of popularity over Doctor Who fans. Neither of them are live-action.

The first one is a youtube account by a guy called BabelColour. He mostly does music videos, where he takes clips, removes the sound, and puts the clips to music. It's actually very good. But he's also done other things such as make colorized version of short 1960's clips and trailers for upcoming DVD's.

Here is the link

The second one is a comic series called "The Ten Doctors" by a comic artist named Rich. It's just as you may think, a comic that features all 10 doctors as well as a whole lot of companions and villains. It's very good and I'd recommend it to any fan who enjoys both the original and new series. He also does original comics.

Here is a link to the archives page

If you're not studying right at this moment, I'd recommend these. But if you'll be studying during most of your free time, these are great to look at afterwords. Time Lord Enthusiast 19:06, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

45 YEARS!!!
Happy 45th anniversary to you dude! As well as to all the other fans. It's quite funny that it's been 45 years. Yet the two of us have only been fans for just the past few years.

It looks like that even Wikipedia is celebrating it as their feature article for today is Doctor Who Missing Episodes.

Again, happy 45!!! Yeah! Time Lord Enthusiast 05:12, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Just passing by
Wow, I'm really impressed by what you have here! Your by far doing better than the IAW now, we are sort of in a lull right now, and i'm hoping that things will pick up again soon. I appologize for not coming and helping more here, but I don't really know what I can do. Let me know if I can do anything! — Mary ( talk ) 22:21, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

RE:Nice work
Thanks for the compliment! Although none of this would've been possible without you starting it. I'll definitely check which article will be the 500th. If it comes from me, it'll most likely be a book. I do enjoy what you've done with The Novel of the Film. Hooray, only 4 days left! You can do man! Then, you'll have 7 weeks of freedom! (^_^)

BRONZE!!!
The 500th article is The Story of Martha. I like Martha as a companion, so I decided to do this one as the 500th.

RE:TOC or not?
I feel really stupid asking this (>_<), but what's a TOC? Does it mean "table of contents"? If it means "table of contents", then I'm good either way. Time Lord Enthusiast 08:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I put audio because, at the time, I forgot about the cassette and I was only thinking about the CD release. Since we're putting both DVD and VHS articles for the televised episodes, I guess we should make them two separate articles since.

You can do whatever you want with the other stories. I'm good with them either way.Time Lord Enthusiast 06:39, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

RE:Grade 10
Hooray!!!

This calls for a celebration!

Now you can do what you want for a while. It's only been a few months since I finished Grade 10.

Also, I haven't been able to do any work today because today (or actually yesterday, it's passed 1AM and I can't fall asleep) was Thanksgiving. It's essentially a national holiday where we give thanks, meet up with family members, and just have a good day. We tend to eat various foods, the main dish being turkey.

Anyway, I'll be happy to continue to work on this excellent wiki.

Congrats again! 12 regenerations for you!

Spotlight
Hi -- DWCW looks great. I've added you guys to the spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk ) 21:30, 11 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Tardis1963 21:31, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry...
I'm sorry I haven't done anything with the site in the past few weeks. I've been busy with school recently, but now I'm on Christmas break for the next two weeks! I'm very tired right now so I'm not going to contribute anything right now. But I'll start doing more on the site again. I'll be away for Christmas but there should be an internet connection where I'm going but if you don't see me around the site for about a week or more, it'll be because the connection didn't work.

Anyway, I'm happy to be back. Time Lord Enthusiast 03:55, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

I love the main page! That would be cool if the wiki got a spotlight. Thank you, Merry Christmas to you too! If I have the connection, I'll probably say it to you on Christmas day as well.

I should be "expecting" some more Doctor Who DVD's but I won't know until Christmas day. Afterwords, I'll add them to my list here. Until then, I just have to wait to see. Time Lord Enthusiast 16:57, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Hey man! Just want to wish you a Merry Christmas! By the time you might be reading this, though, it may be the 26th. Oh well...

I'm in a mountain town so I haven't been able to get much internet connection. I'm lucky to even get this. But there is a lot of snow so it's perfect Christmas weather.

I got quite a few Doctor Who DVD's this Christmas and I'm very happy!!!

I hope you have (or had) a wonderful Christmas!!!

The Next Doctor
Hello once again my good fellow! Just like I said, if you don't want to wait another month to watch The Next Doctor, I suggest you go to youtube now. Most of the videos of it will probably be deleted soon. I don't think it's coming to America for a while so I'm checking it out now. But, if you want to wait, the special will be all the more better I bet. Been busy with New Years coming but I'll be back home soon so I'll finally be able to do some work around here. (I feel really happy right now and I don't know why...) Allons-y! Time Lord Enthusiast 06:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

11th Doctor
I just found out! I can't believe it! I hope he or she does very well and we can see a new (and hopefully good) side of The Doctor! So excited! Only 16½ hours left! Time Lord Enthusiast 01:11, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, I wish the best of luck to Matt Smith. I was surprised to see he was so young but you can't judge a book by it's cover. I hope he does very well and brings something new to the already big part of The Doctor. Time Lord Enthusiast 03:12, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Spotlight
Hooray! Another great accomplishment!Time Lord Enthusiast 02:46, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Main Page
Hi -- the current column tags do not properly allow for a 2-column box at the top the way you want it. Yours is "working" because you actually have a lot of unclosed div tags that are interacting in a very strange way; my guess, from experience with other pages, is that it will look different in different browsers and screen res. I do know that when I did something as simple as changing the centering from float left to float center it no longer worked at all. Also closing them properly doesn't work; the right hand column floats up over the top box that you want to have be wide.

At any rate, the top box was still too wide so I put it at the maximum pixels on a 1024x768 screen (recall that 1024 px actually includes the browser sides & the menu bars). Please don't make it any wider.

I also reduced the gutter between the columns... at least on my display it's now only a few pixels. Hopefully that helps, and let me know if you have more questions. -- Wendy (talk ) 00:47, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Is there any way to make the top box work, without using all those div tags? Tardis1963 00:50, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Loose Cannon Productions
Have you heard of Loose Cannon Productions? It's a fantastic group of fans who try to put missing episodes together with different footage etc... The BBC is alright with this group as long as they don't sell the episodes and they put them on the non-digital VHS tapes. For more info, click this link.

I was thinking about putting the VHS's that they've done on the website as, while they're not for sale, can still be part of a fan's collection. What do you think? Time Lord Enthusiast 23:37, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't notice the rules page. But yes, I think we should at least make a page for them. Time Lord Enthusiast 00:04, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Apostrophes
I'm on your side here. I'm OK with it either way. As the creator of this site, it's your call. Time Lord Enthusiast 01:22, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

VHS
Sure, sounds good. To be honest, I don't know much about the VHS releases so I'm cool with what you do in this category. Time Lord Enthusiast 05:40, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey, Again!
Hey dude! It's been a while. Sorry, I've been focusing on school among other things and I haven't been able to do much here. It's nice to see you're still continuing here. Sorry if I can't help further. Time Lord Enthusiast 02:26, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Saw it (thanks to YouTube) and I enjoyed it. I liked it better than The Next Doctor (which I also enjoyed). Only 3 episodes left until David Tennant's era ends and Matt Smith's era begins!

Plus, have you seen my timeline on my user page? It's something that might help fans that want to view things in chronological order (from The Doctor's perspective), though it's a work in progress. Time Lord Enthusiast 06:42, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, although it's no where near as good as all the work you've put into this site. Great job!

When it comes to the authors, I'm good either way. You're the boss, whatever you say. Time Lord Enthusiast 01:55, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, I did a new template for "The Highlanders", clicked "OK" when I was done to save it, and now I can't find it anywhere. Where is it? Clem

RAIDERCLEM 19:52, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I can't find anything, apart from another Highlanders image. Tardis1963 21:23, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Gary, I guess I didn't save it like I thought I did. Do I need to make a page first? This stuff is difficult to try and figure out. OK, here we go. I can't find any kind of "create new page" or "create page" button. Is there one? I've gone to the "CD's" page and tried to add new pages (categories?) for "BBC Lost Story Audios" & "The Highlanders (CD)" but "Edit this page" will only let me put them at the top of the page. My guess is that I need to create a page FIRST, then add the template somehow. Is this correct? If I could figure out how to do one, I'd be set from there. Thanks and sorry for being such a pest.RAIDERCLEM 18:22, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The 'create a page' button is on the main page. It's on the right of the screen, and you scroll to the bottom. Type in the name of the page you want to make, and click on 'Create new article'. When you do that, it will give you a blank edit page, and you can copy all the code from another page, and just change it around. Tardis1963 21:14, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, I've created my first page-Thank you! You can access it through my user page, but I don't know how to put it in the main list of CDs. (or is that something the Administrator does?)RAIDERCLEM 00:20, 15 July 2009 (UTC)


 * You have to add  to the code. Tardis1963 10:47, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

I noticed you added a note for the "Mission to the Unknown" promo CD in The Daleks' Master Plan instead of putting it at the top. Please look at the pages I made for "The Massacre", "The Myth Makers" and "The Highlanders" to see if you want to change the way I put in the "Adventures in History" box set info. Would putting it as a note be better? Edit it to the way you want it and I will do the same on future pages. Also, do I put in, for example, [Category:Doctor Who CD's|The Highlanders (CD)]? Where EXACTLY do I enter this? (I know there are 2 ['s on each side, it won't show when I put in 2) When I enter this it's still going to the top of the page instead of where it should go alphabetically. Hey, I'm gettin' there! RAIDERCLEM 15:34, 15 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Seeing as though Adventures in History was a separate release, it will get it's own page. Don't bother about putting '|The Highlanders (CD)' in the category. Just put it at the bottom of the page. Tardis1963 06:29, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Big Finish
Should each of the Big Finish spin-offs (Dalek Empire, Unbound, Gallifrey, I,Davros, etc...) have their own categories/infoboxes/etc... or should they all just be called "Big Finish spin-offs" or should they be included with the main Big Finish Doctor Who audios?

I made pages for all the Doctor Who Unbound audios and gave them a separate series name. (Instead of it saying "Big Finish Audio Adventures" I just put "Doctor Who Unbound") Is that alright? Time Lord Enthusiast 05:18, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I agree, the Big Finish spinoff series should get their own pages/infoboxes etc. Good job with the Unbound audios. Tardis1963 06:38, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks! You got it boss! Also, should we also include the "Lost Stories" into the main run? We have the "Eighth Doctor Adventures" audios in the main line and it seems to be just normal Doctor audios (of course, they actually come from abandoned scripts from the original Season 23) except instead of the Eighth Doctor and Lucie, they'll have Sixth Doctor and Peri. Time Lord Enthusiast 07:03, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, personally, I think the Lost Stories should be separate. I included the Eighth Doctor Adventures in the main run because there wasn't much distinguishing them from the others. They are just the same except for the Eighth Doctor and Lucie. I think the Lost Stories should be done separately because they are actually being produced, sold and marketed separetly. The main difference being the cover designs. Tardis1963 07:07, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

My BBC Audio CD collection has all been entered-hope you like. (I noticed you had to change a few things-sorry about that)RAIDERCLEM 21:58, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Great work! I did change a few things, but it's a lot easier than making all the pages myself. Tardis1963 22:00, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, glad I could help. I've uploaded the cover blurbs for the Yeti Attack!, Daleks and Cybermen box sets so you can set them up just like you want them if you choose. The front images are on my user page if you need them. I don't have the Adventures in History box set, just the individual episodes.RAIDERCLEM 00:35, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I should get around to making pages for them soon. Tardis1963 00:37, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Just in case you're not familiar with the tin box sets, the front and back images of the tin box are what is on my user page. The cover blurbs are on a sheet of paper that comes off when you remove the outer plastic, and you can then put them inside the boxRAIDERCLEM 00:44, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Gary, Just thought I would mention something for your information. I noticed looking through the Region 1 DVDs that 'NTSC' is listed next to "Region 1". NTSC is an analog designation that referred to VHS regions, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply to DVDs, which of course are digital, not analog. I think. Not sure about PAL, though...RAIDERCLEM 01:15, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

SORRY!
I'm so sorry for accidentally creating that one page. I was trying out some covers from Big Finish and instead of pressing "Preview", I accidentally pressed "Save Page". I prefer the "Preview" over the "Rich Text" thing. Anyway, I'm so sorry, so I've started doing the Bernice Summerfield Audios to make up for it, I'll probably be doing at least one series a day but probably more. I've never wanted to create spam and I hope I never do again. This site is very fun to work on and I would never want to do anything wrong to it. Now I know to just do all my test pages under "User:Time Lord Enthusiast/" so that way if I ever accidentally do it again, it'll be on my user page and could just easily be forgotten about. Again, I'm very sorry. :(  Time Lord Enthusiast 07:43, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It's OK. We all make mistakes. I only put it as spam out of habit. Also, if you want, you can do all future test edits on the Sandbox. It's a project page made specially just for testing editing and practicing. Tardis1963 07:58, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I'll make sure to use the Sandbox in the future. :) Time Lord Enthusiast 08:57, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Episode writers
In our categories of "Items starring or written by " I notice we don't include the television episodes for the writers. As such, Russel T Davies only has "Damaged Goods" from the New Adventures even though he's written many new series episodes. Should we include or should we not include the writers for the television episodes? Time Lord Enthusiast 05:33, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think we should. Because the categores are "Items starring or...", and I wouldn't class the television episodes as "items'. Tardis1963 05:56, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, bad wording I guess, my bad. I meant items that have television episodes like, Russell T. Davies and Mark Gatiss would have their categories in Series 1: Volume 1 since Russell T Davies wrote Rose and The End of the World and Mark Gatiss wrote The Unquiet Dead.Time Lord Enthusiast 06:14, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Personally, I still don't think we should do it like that. Mainly because Russell T Davies wrote the story Rose, not the DVD Series 1: Volume 1. Also, if we affed categories for everyone who writes an episode, I think it will clutter things up. Tardis1963 06:18, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * OK. One more question, I plan to eventually get to the graphic novels, how should we name them? For the Eighth Doctor, you've already put "The Complete Eighth Doctor Comic Strips - Volume : " so that settles that part, but the others don't seem to have that same type of title. Also, we have "Voyager" from both Marvel and Panini. Like the TV Comic strips, I plan on (eventually) making pages for the individual comics. Should we just put something like "The Tides of Time (graphic novel)" or for some that have different releases like "Voyager (Marvel graphic novel)" and "Voyager (Panini graphic novel)?Time Lord Enthusiast 06:38, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I reckon put the Marvel Voyager as Voyager: Marvel Graphic Novel and the Panini Voyager as Voyager: A Panini Books Graphic Novel. Voyager will be the page for the comic strip. For example, following that pattern, there would be The Iron Legion: A Panini Books Graphic Novel and Dragon's Claw: A Panini Books Graphic Novel. Therefore, The Tides of Time will be The Tides of Time: A Panini Books Graphic Novel. Tardis1963 07:04, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * It makes sense to me. I'll get on that at some point. For now, I'll continue with the audios.Time Lord Enthusiast 07:12, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Cool. :) You've been doing a really great job with them! Tardis1963 07:14, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Mind if I get in on this conversation? I wanted to let you know that if you're going to make pages for the comics that I've uploaded images of all the comics and graphic novels and have links to them on my user page. Maybe you could save some time by using these. I myself am going to start working on uploading images of Doctor Who Magazine. RAIDERCLEM 08:24, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah. Good idea. That should help. Btw, it looks like you two have got things you're working on, and so I'm still working on the DVD's and VHS's. Tardis1963 11:01, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Missing Episodes
Yeah, it's a real tragedy, it'll probably look even sadder once I add many of the other television shows that are missing episodes. I think we Doctor Who fans should all be so happy that we have the audio of every episode, some in better quality than others but the fact that they exist at all (some even with telesnaps) just shows the true dedication and heart that Doctor Who fans can have. That's why I truly support Loose Canon Productions and all other reconstruction groups, they may not be the actual episodes, but I think (in spirit) they are.

By the way, thanks for letting me do all these projects of mine on the site. My whole goal was to give people some info or some way of saying "If you have this item, maybe you could get this one" There are some days when I feel like I'm working more on those rather than the actual site, so those are the days I try to put even more work in, so I don't feel like a slacker.Time Lord Enthusiast 23:49, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * You're completely welcome. You can put whatever you like on your user page and the pages connected to it. You've done some good work on those pages! Tardis1963 02:33, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you (again) :). But I have to thank you one more time because if you hadn't told me about this site back in (checks Doctor Who Wiki) November, I wouldn't be able to do any of this. So Thank You :)Time Lord Enthusiast 02:44, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I made a good decision to tell you about it. :) And thank you for being a great help. Tardis1963 02:47, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

I've uploaded an image of The Infinate Quest with the corrected spelling of "Freema". RAIDERCLEM 01:57, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I never noticed that before. Tardis1963 07:08, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

No problem, it's hard to notice. It's hard NOT to notice what I've just downloaded, though. I've just added to my user page links to the cover and some photos from the famous Katy Manning and Dalek photo shoot in Girl Illustrated, with a warning that they contain nudity. These have appeared in Doctor Who books (Timeframe) and CD booklets (Who Is Dr. Who?) but I'm not sure if they're appropriate for this Wiki. If you feel they should be deleted, I will fully understand. RAIDERCLEM 09:51, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Personally, I think the images are acceptable, as long as the person knows that there will be nudity before they look at them, as you have put them. On that same topic, I (unfortunately) came across some Doctor Who-related pornography DVD's which I would like to add to the DWCW, of course with warnings galore! What do you think? Tardis1963 11:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I may not be the person to ask about this, as I'll say up front that I'm very anti-censorship of any type and have no problem with pornography that's between consenting adults. That being said, I've seen images from the DVDs you mention, if you're talking about Abducted by the Daleks. I've seen 2 DVD cover images, one of which contains nudity and the other which does not. Perhaps an option would be to go the way eBay does, and have an "adult section" that's separate from the rest of the Wiki and that you have to sign into. Another issue to consider with these is copyright infringement, which to me personally is the more important issue. I started off putting in images of "unofficial" DVDs of which there is no official release in Region 1, such as The Movie, but changed my mind and removed them as I feel that these are not "official" Doctor Who merchandise. One thing to keep in mind, though: If you choose not to put them in, nobody will complain, but if you do put them in you may get some people upset. The call is yours, but like I mentioned earlier, I myself have no problem with it. WWTDD? RAIDERCLEM 17:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I think for completeness that I would like to add them to the site, but in the future when we get a lot bigger. I can't make an 'adult only' section, but I will handle them very carefully, making sure that everyone is aware that that specific picture is recommended for adults, and does contain nudity. But of course, if anybody did complain, I could always remove them from the site then. Tardis1963 21:10, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Mary Whitehouse may no longer be pestering the Doctor, but some of her True Believers are surely still out there! RAIDERCLEM 23:17, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Tennant Finale Title
Just to make sure, I don't think we should add "The End of Time" as an episode yet. If I remember correctly, for a while fans thought The Next Doctor was going to be called "Return of the Cybermen" just because it was in the trailer. If it's confirmed by an official source or a different trailer (as in "Next episode: The End of Time"), then, of course we'll create the page. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties, oh... sorry got off track there. Time Lord Enthusiast 09:03, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I completely agree. I don't think "The End of Time" will be the title, but if it is, we will of course add it. But until the title is confirmed, we won't make a page. Tardis1963 09:29, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello, For some reason I can't get to my user page. When I click on my name at the top, it directs me to Raiderclem, (not RAIDERCLEM) a blank page that says to "Click here to start a new page." My Time Lord icon is also gone, even in the section on the left. When I try to access my user page through favorites, all the pics are gone. Have I been Lost In Time? RAIDERCLEM 13:16, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Also when I just sent you a message, I used the four tildes, but a link to RAIDERCLEM didn't show up. Let's try again. RAIDERCLEM 13:19, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I can get to your user page fine. User:RAIDERCLEM. What are you logged in as when trying to access it? If you are logged in as RAIDERCLEM, you user page will be User:RAIDERCLEM. However, if you are logged in as Raiderclem, your user page will be User:Raiderclem. However, if you are logged in as Raiderclem, you should still be able to access User:RAIDERCLEM and edit it.


 * Also, what were you logged in as when you did the four tildes? Tardis1963 00:11, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Gary, That was the problem. Everything OK now. By the way, I haven't forgotton the mags, it's just that I'm involved in another project at the moment which involves tearing out carpet and painting rooms. RAIDERCLEM 00:34, 16 August 2009 (UTC)


 * That's absolutely fine. I was just wanting to do something different so I worked a little on the Doctor Who Magazine page. Should we do 8 covers across? I think we should. Tardis1963 00:38, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey I checked out your DWM page-Looks GREAT! You're the man so do it however you want, but since you ask I do have one suggestion. When you have 8 issues across, the 8th issue runs off the page (on my computer, anyway). If you put 7 across, all the full images would be shown on the page. By the way, if you check out the DWM section on my user page, you may find some useful info there such as what issues were under the 4 different titles they've used, what issue switched from Marvel to Panini, etc. I also completed downloading cover images for the "specials" section if that will help you out. Lastly, I do have a complete run (including all variants) so if you're missing an image just LMK and I'll upload it for you. Keep up the great work! RAIDERCLEM 01:35, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, turns out "The End of Time" is the final episode title. Whether, it'll be the title for both episodes like the original series or if it's only for the second part is unknown. So I made a page for it. Time Lord Enthusiast 01:31, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


 * And so it is. Personally, I don't really like it, but I'm sure the episodes will be fantastic! Remember, if it's like 'Part 1' and 'Part 2', we just keep the one page, similar to Children of Earth. Tardis1963 06:58, 20 August 2009 (UTC)


 * It has now indeed been confirmed as "Part One" and "Part Two". I can't believe it's literally been 20 years since a televised Doctor Who episode has had those on screen, not since Survival. Makes me wonder if Matt Smith's era will return to it. All will be revealed in time.Time Lord Enthusiast 23:02, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about leaving the pages for Hornets' Nest blank, but I did not have any more available time to develop them last night, and as far as the CD categories go, it's no problem, I just didn't know about it that's all.

Doctor Who Magazine
Would you like me to upload the most recent Doctor Who Magazine covers, as the cover on the recent releases section is DWM 409.

Hello! Just wondering why you removed the Doctor Who and the Pescatons (CD) page? RAIDERCLEM 18:03, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I'm not the type to just make articles up willy-nilly without official information.

Short stories
I plan on (eventually) putting up pages for Short Trips, Decalog, etc... and I was wondering something. Should I put "Items starring or written by " for all the authors. Of course leave out the ones that have only done a few Doctor Who things of course. For example, "Short Trips: Dalek Empire" has short stories by Nicholas Briggs, Justin Richards, Simon Gurrier, etc... so would they all be put in the categories?

I think you did that for the Doctor Who Files short stories, but I just want to be sure.

Also, have you seen my motivational posters? I posted them on Gallifrey Base and thought it'd be fun to have them here too. I don't know if my humor is that good, but it's nice to make someone smile (even if in this case I can't actually see them). Time Lord Enthusiast 05:05, October 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * Well thank you. And also, happy Halloween. I've heard that Halloween hasn't caught on that much in Australia although I've heard it's gaining more popularity recently. Anyway, I just hope I don't get a stomach ache from eating too much candy. Tomorrow it's going to be nothing but Doctor Who, Horror movies, and candy!!!

Hi Gary, How do you add a CD to the Doctor Who CDs category so it goes in the alphabetical list? When I try to edit the page it just gives me a blank page, not the list, and when I try to enter a CD it appears above the list. The Help section doesn't give any specifics. I use [[Category:]], correct? But HOW? Do I put in [Category|Doctor Who at the BBC (CD)] or [Category:Doctor Who CDs|Doctor Who at the BBC (CD)] or [Doctor Who CDs|Doctor Who at the BBC (CD)] on the category edit page or something else? (Yes I know I need 2 RAIDERCLEM 19:22, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

CDs and US DVDs
No problem, glad I could help. I don't know how you keep up with everything that comes out! Thanks for the help on adding the CDs to the list. I wasn't sure if the (CD) should go after the titles on the "At the BBC" discs but figured you could take it off if it didn't belong. I like the way the Doctor Who Magazine "grid" page is going. I'd like to do a page (or pages) like that with the comic books if you could give me a hand on how to start. RAIDERCLEM 00:56, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

The Troughton Years
Just surfing through the VHS tapes and noticed the Australian "The Troughton Years" has a pic for "The Hartnell Years". RAIDERCLEM 17:40, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Some other things you might want to fix
Sounds good. I did a couple of "oops" myself. I made a page for the not yet released "Doctor Who...at the BBC: A Legend reborn" w/out adding the (CD). I couldn't figure out how to change the title of the page or delete it so I just made another one. I also put a new page I made for "The Home Whovian (VHS)" under T in the "Doctor Who VHSs" rather than under H and couldn't figure out how to move it. A little WIKI knowledge can be a dangerous thing. RAIDERCLEM 23:32, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

OK Now I'm REALLY confused. How in the world did my User talk page get listed under H in CDs? I must have done it somehow, although I have no idea how or when! RAIDERCLEM 10:58, December 8, 2009 (UTC)

Comic Books
OK, I started the comic book page. Should "comic books" in the main title have capital letters? I'll let you fix that if that's the case. (no pun intended) Everything except placement of the pics is how I intended. This seem OK to you? How EXACTLY do I place the pics like they are on the magazine page? For example, do I hit "Edit this page","Edit" on the section, click on the pic or something else? Once I've done that, what's the next step? Once I can figure out a "template" I can plug into I can take it from there. RAIDERCLEM 16:59, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but I can't figure this one out. Maybe someone else can take care of the comics. RAIDERCLEM 01:51, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

I'm giving it another try. You said to "Highlight". What does that mean? RAIDERCLEM 05:24, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

E-Space Trilogy covers
I was surfing the site and checked out the to-do list and noticed you were looking for E-Space Trilogy US VHS covers. Some background: Back in the 80's the PBS (Public Broadcasting) station here ran the complete run of all existing episodes, starting with Tom Baker and then going through Davison, C. Baker, McCoy, Hartnell, Troughton and finishing up with Pertwee. Well, actually then they ran all the Dalek and Cybermen episodes by themselves. Anyway, every Saturday night I would slap in a VHS tape and set it to record. This is why the only tapes I ever purchased were the incomplete stories, because they didn't show them and they were the only ones I didn't have on tape. I did a Doctor Who media covers slide show a while back and it took me forever to find decent images of the VHS covers for these three stories. The best ones I found were on eBay, but they have the eBay logo in the bottom right corner. If you don't mind having the logo, LMK and I'll download them for you. RAIDERCLEM 10:59, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

Main Page Problems
Sorry about the main page, I was just trying to update the magazine section since issue 416 of DWM has been released. For some reason when I simply change just one number to another (all I did was change "Doctor Who Magazine 415" to "Doctor Who Magazine 416" and change the image from "File:DWM 415.jpg" to "File:DWM 416.jpg") it really screws up the page. Can only administrators update the main page? Sorry for the inconvenience.Time Lord Enthusiast 01:27, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Well for right now I'll stay clear of the main page. Good luck with it.Time Lord Enthusiast 02:02, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Avon
I added the Avon US publication of Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks. All the info is there but it's in the wrong place. Thought I'd let you fix it rather than make it worse trying to fix it myself. By the way, check out the HILARIOUS blurb! RAIDERCLEM 20:20, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
