False information

[edit]

People come to Wikipedia for information when you edit pages to insert false information it defeats the purpose before editing a page you should do your research Mensteliathehonduran (talk) 22:26, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's why it's required of everyone, including you and I, to cite reliable sources when adding or changing information. If you try to do so without citing reliable sources, you'll get reverted. DonQuixote (talk) 22:40, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You’re providing false information without proof I actually gave proof people come here for information that is true not whatever makes you happy Mensteliathehonduran (talk) 06:37, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Seriously, dude, we've been asking you to provide a reliable source from the beginning. If you've done as you were asked from the get-go, you would've avoided the whole rigamarole of being blocked for adding unsourced content. DonQuixote (talk) 14:10, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Deletionists are the biggest cancer of this website. How about you instead try and join the constructivist camp? Vandal. Luka1184 (talk) 20:29, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Get a life. I'm not even in the top ten. DonQuixote (talk) 00:08, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dan Lewis (Doctor Who)

[edit]

Why was the Dan Lewis page deleted? AlwaysBi (talk) 23:06, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So I just read it and I’m sorry but that is such a ridiculous reason why. It doesn’t matter if he’s only had one series without any other media appearances outside, he was one of the two main companions for a whole series + 2 specials and a minor appearance in a 3rd.
This isn’t an audio drama companion we’re talking about, or a companion from expanded media. This is one of the main companions from the show, who received media attention when he was cast, who had a waxwork put at Madame Tussauds along with Jodie’s waxwork.
You’ve had his page deleted, yet a character like Astrid Peth, a one off companion for an Xmas special, has her own page. AlwaysBi (talk) 23:58, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You're talking to the wrong guy, dude. Bring this up at WT:WHO. DonQuixote (talk) 00:01, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks AlwaysBi (talk) 00:05, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

revert, Legend of Ruby Sunday

[edit]

"The Legend of Ruby Sunday" ia the first of a two-parter and just aired today, so the article is a bit incomplete. Although there is no section yet on Continuity, that is a usual part of a Doctor Who article, and what I wrote that was reverted is relevant to that. I didn't feel up to starting a Continuity section without asking this question first in the Talk. If I had put it in the article directly under Continuity, would that have gotten reverted? WordwizardW (talk) 00:06, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who/Style advice. In a nutshell, you need to start with a direct quote from a reliable secondary source making the observation (ie no original research). DonQuixote (talk) 00:12, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WIkiProject Doctor Who Newsletter: July 2024

[edit]
The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume II, Issue I — July 2024
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

Okay–ooh. New teeth newsletter. That's weird...

Hello!

Welcome to the first regenerated issue of The Space-Time Telegraph, the official newsletter of WikiProject Doctor Who. We hope it finds you well in your safe travels across the Whoniverse! This newsletter was founded in 2008 and seemed to get lost in the time vortex quite quickly. Thanks to the Doctor dragging Sutekh through the time vortex and bringing life by bringing death to death (yeah... I'm a little confused too), it seems to have regenerated. The writing staff hopes to bring you future editions quarterly.
For this first edition, we have created an updated version of our mailing list that includes any active editors who previously had their usernames included in our participants list. If you do not wish to receive future editions, please remove your name from the mailing list. If you no longer wish to participate in the project, please also remove your name from the participants list.
I think that's enough about the newsletter for now. Let's dive into interesting things happening within the Doctor Who side of Wikipedia. Geronimooooo.....

Big Spike in Productivity

During 2024, the project has scored 8 GAs, 2 FLs and a GT, up from last year's 4 GAs and a GT. Several additional things are in the pipeline, with a bunch of things currently having been nominated with some mix of OlifanofmrTennant, TheDoctorWho, and Pokelego999 having their names attached to them. Allow me to look into the nominees.
  1. Series 14: As of July 18th, every single episode has been sent to GAN, with "Boom", "73 Yards", and "The Devil's Chord" having made it to GA.
  2. 2023 Specials: Early in the year, as part of trying to not lose the WikiCup, Ollie sent "The Star Beast" (still salty about the move) to GAN. It was reviewed by frequent collaborator (fly high) of hers, but failed. She then fixed it up and sent it back where it passed. Later "The Giggle" was expanded and sent to GA, followed shortly by "Wild Blue Yonder". WBY received help by JustAnotherCompanion, a pretty fresh user. This other companion chose not to be listed as co-nom. A page was created for "Destination: Skaro" and quickly got GA status.
  3. The Daleks' Master Plan was also sent to GAN by Rhain. It passed to join Rhain's other First Doctor content, being the fourth season three article to get the green check.
  4. Peter Capaldi: The filmography and newly created awards of Capaldi were both sent to FLC and passed. Capaldi's main page was sent to GA, though due to some minor incompetence on the part of the nominator it was failed.

Proposals to the WikiProject

A recent proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who suggested potential improvements and suggestions for the main page of the project, as well as discussions about the project overall. The proposals are as follows:
  1. The Task Forces section should be removed due to inactivity in the Torchwood Task Force, and a lack of significant interest in creating further Task Forces.
  2. The freenode channel no longer works and should be removed due to most discussion taking place on site.
  3. Due to the low quality of Lungbarrow and Jubilee despite being sample articles, these articles should either be removed as samples or improved. Additionally, the "sample device" has a very small application field, and should be removed from the sample articles section.
  4. An updates infobox should be included, similarly to those used by Wikipedia:VGCHAR.
  5. Radio Times's Doctor Who sections should be included in the references section due to their benefits for the project sourcing wise.
  6. The Deletion Discussion archive should be removed, or have work invested in updating it, due to its lack of updates.

If you feel you have any thoughts or suggestions on these matters, or on any other matters pertaining to the project and its main page, feel free to chime in the ongoing discussion.

Discussions of Note

A move discussion is currently underway on whether or not Doctor Who series 14 should be moved to Doctor Who season 1 (2024). The discussion also involves conversation on a few other adjacent articles. If you have an opinion on the matter please read over the discussion or leave comments.
