I know she only appeared in one episode of Torchwood, but I personally think she merits her own article due to the amount she was featured in promotional material.

The episode just aired here in Canada and like many others I was enchanted by it. I was rather disappointed to see the "intellectual snobbery" (your words, I believe) that greeted this episode when folks tried to add something about it to the Madame de Pomadour article. I noticed you were quite active in the argument back in May. I'm on your side on this one -- I don't get why folks didn't want to even have it mentioned. (I recognized one of the "anti-GITF" editors as being one who took me to task because I'd stated Audrey and Katherine Hepburn weren't related when in fact they're cousins 3 million times removed, or something. Don't ask.

Cheers! 23skidoo 06:36, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Just to clarify why I reverted in case you missed it in the article history. We should try (insofar as the new series are concerned) to avoid references to "future" stories which are spoilery. The rationale is this: people who read down expect spoilers for the episode they are reading about; they may not want to be spoiled about episodes they haven't yet seen. We've been generally okay with the classic Doctor Who stuff because those are really old episodes but for the new series on (which includes Torchwood), we should keep in mind that not everyone has seen these at the same time. So, back references are okay, but forward references should be done in a non-spoiler way. Thanks. -- khaosworks ( talk • contribs) 03:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I share the dislike of overlong synopses. I've seen a few too many turn from effective summaries to "--then he said and then she said and then they did and then she said and then--", even though this one is relatively well-written. The point of the sadly incomplete rewrite is to significantly reduce the length of the article (even with the quotes), increasing its readability while maintaining usefulness. That said, that certainly wasn't clear from the first edits and the quotes don't have much more justification than my own personal preference. -- Kizor 01:31, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey, K. I was wondering what your opinion is on the request for cite.php-style full citations for Doctor Who episodes at the Dalek FAR.

I added an 'Outside reference' stating that Torchwood Four has disappeared, a reference to the Babylon 5 series, in which the predecessor of that space station, Babylon 4, also mysteriously disappeared (and turned up later in the series, something Jack says he expects to happen for Torchwood Four as well).
You deleted this addition stating 'needs cite'. Could you please tell me what you would like me to add?

hello, of course it is from a press packet, I saved it from bbc.co.uk- I think you are being somewhat pedantic about this to say the least- as I acknowledge the original source which is bbc.co.uk.

I am somewhat intrigued though as to why you have picked on this particular picture as worthy of deletion. Other publicity photos, such as of the Cybermen, have been used and noone seems to have regarded their usage as untoward. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rob77 ( talk • contribs).
Why not? The BBC isn't so niave as to believe that people won't reference them- indeed from a commercial perspective it is actually beneficial, providing greater exposure and potentially generating DVD sales and gaining more viewers. I am also not quite sure what copyright law you are endeavouring to apply, as I am not an IP lawyer. Wikipedia is an international website, run by Americans predominantly, so how can displaying an item on a US server possibly constitute a breach of British copyright? And yes the main Cyberman article has a publicity photo cropped directly from the Beeb prior to the 2006 series. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rob77 ( talk • contribs).

Hey, Terence. I know that you're "tired of fighting it out with the FU nazis", but I'd like your expert opinion on something. As a judge in Singapore, you probably have a much better understanding of fair dealing than the average Wikipedian. At Wikipedia talk:Fair use some users are saying that fair dealing in, for example, the UK, is so much more restrictive than US fair use law that it would make it impossible to publish Wikipedia content there. Is this accurate? The discussion is here, but if you'd rather not stroll across that minefield, you can just drop me a note on my talk page.

The parapgraph makes specific reference to alien technology. and how it is often considerably in advance of that of earth. The most advanced technology which has been shown in the TV series so far is that of the void ship, which had been developed by the Daleks.

I've noticed you restructuring a lot of the episode articles - would you consider changing the wikiproject style guide to include the names of the sections, and the order you've been using? A central reference would be helpful to keep future edits consistent with what's been done - I've no real attachment to any particular order or section titles, I just think they should be consistent.

Hi, quick question about moving pages which I don't know much about but I thought you might do. User:Mhking has copied and pasted the text from Robin Hood (BBC TV series) into Robin Hood (TV series) and turned the former into a redirect. Aren't you supposed to have the page properly moved rather than copying and pasting like that, to preserve the edit history? Also the talk page hasn't been moved and it's generally a bit of a mess, so I was wondering what standard procedure on this sort of thing was? Angmering 19:46, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Not meaning to be rude or anything, but how do you interpret WP:OWN? I've noticed a vast majority of your edits are to Doctor Who related pages, and a huge number of Doctor Who article edits are attributed to you. This looks to be flat out Ownership of articles, but I'm sure you have a different opinion on the matter. Don't take this as an attack, as I've noticed that in terms of pure vandalism vigilance, you are a damn fine editor. But you seem to undo virtually any little note that you disagree with, which undermines Wikipedia policy in general. I don't believe this is intentional, as when I brought it up on the Theme Music page, you corrected it and helped incorporate into the article better than I could. Please, what ae your thoughts? TheGreenFaerae 21:10, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi there, As Doctor Who fans I would believe that the time has come that we should finally sort the monsters and aliens page out. I hope you would agree with me that the article probably needs a split, however the ways we could split it are disputed.

Hi, saw you'd reverted my change to "Osirans" - looked at the note you referred me to in your comments - I don't follow, the note explains that the script for Pyramids spells it "Osirians" but surely this counts for less than the actual programme where it is clearly pronounced "Osirans" throughout? What relevance can the script have to canonicity? MarkThomas 12:38, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your comment on my page - then I started wondering, perhaps it's more subtle than I think, and really Sutekh had a secret pronunciation that was written in special Osirian symbols that only the Doctor could read and he was just mocking them by deliberately mis-pronouncing it "Osiran". Or am I taking this canonicity thing too seriously? MarkThomas 13:00, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
I think I have an idea for the page:
NB: -- is == but I didn't use it because it would appear as a separate message.... Also there could be a small image at the side.
--Gelth--
The Gelth are gaseous lifeforms that appeared in the 2005 episode The Unquiet Dead. The Gelth came from a planet beyond the rift. Their bodies were destroyed in the time war so they inhabited the dead bodies in a funeral parlour where the rift came out.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Yamla 19:55, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
hello, of course it is from a press packet, I saved it from bbc.co.uk- I think you are being somewhat pedantic about this to say the least- as I acknowledge the original source which is bbc.co.uk. If you have such a major issue about this then perhaps you could correct the source- it can be found at the bbc on their doctor who webpage. Such pedantry is enough to give lawyers a bad name.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rob77 ( talk • contribs).
Yes indeed, thats the source, but no I can't see the statement in the link you have provided. Please provide a link to it? .—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rob77 ( talk • contribs). Gotcha. I stand corrected! Ta muchly. .—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rob77 ( talk • contribs).
I am somewhat intrigued though as to why you have picked on this particular picture as worthy of deletion. Other publicity photos, such as of the Cybermen, have been used and noone seems to have regarded their usage as untoward. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rob77 ( talk • contribs).
Why not? The BBC isn't so niave as to believe that people won't reference them- indeed from a commercial perspective it is actually beneficial, providing greater exposure and potentially generating DVD sales and gaining more viewers. I am also not quite sure what copyright law you are endeavouring to apply, as I am not an IP lawyer. Wikipedia is an international website, run by Americans predominantly, so how can displaying an item on a US server possibly constitute a breach of British copyright? And yes the main Cyberman article has a publicity photo cropped directly from the Beeb prior to the 2006 series. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rob77 ( talk • contribs).
hello, would you permit the use of screen captures from a BBC promo film which is broadcast? Various images have been put as screengrabs on OG here: http://www.gallifreyone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=107567- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rob77 ( talk • contribs).
Fine, but at least we can have an image to illustrate the story ahead of broadcast at Xmas. Rob77
I actually let the two daggers on Suzie slide (given that she died, was resurrected "forever", and died again). I actually thought about putting more daggers, because, as Ianto said, "she had quite a few deaths in the end". Will ( Tell me, is something eluding you, Sunshine?) 02:43, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Hey, Terence. I know that you're "tired of fighting it out with the FU nazis", but I'd like your expert opinion on something. As a judge in Singapore, you probably have a much better understanding of fair dealing than the average Wikipedian. At Wikipedia talk:Fair use some users are saying that fair dealing in, for example, the UK, is so much more restrictive than US fair use law that it would make it impossible to publish Wikipedia content there. Is this accurate? The discussion is here, but if you'd rather not stroll across that minefield, you can just drop me a note on my talk page. Thanks. — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 17:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Conradwestmaas.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 23:36, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Don't suppose you admins have a list of Images (deleted or otherwise) by Users?-- SGCommand ( talk • contribs) 21:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
The parapgraph makes specific reference to alien technology. and how it is often considerably in advance of that of earth. The most advanced technology which has been shown in the TV series so far is that of the void ship, which had been developed by the Daleks. To contextualize the point being made, namely that Dalek technology now exceeds even that which the Timelords built, it is extremely relevant. Rob 15:45, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for the photo of Delia Derbyshire. I wrote and maintain [ Delia Derbyshire's Audiological Chronology]. I didn't know about the documentary "Doctor Who: Origins", and would be interested to see it to enrich that site with extra detail. If you can help, you can mail me as martinwguy@yahoo.it. Thanks!
I've noticed you restructuring a lot of the episode articles - would you consider changing the wikiproject style guide to include the names of the sections, and the order you've been using? A central reference would be helpful to keep future edits consistent with what's been done - I've no real attachment to any particular order or section titles, I just think they should be consistent. (On a related note, I noticed you used "Broadcast and video releases" somewhere, which I think works very well.) -- Brian Olsen 01:32, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
Image:Janetfielding.jpg is replaceable as per WP:FU. I'm sure you've heard this story before, just pointing it out. Of course, you uploaded it before the policy change was enforced. -- Yamla 04:01, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
thanks for the edit Willow177 18:27, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, quick question about moving pages which I don't know much about but I thought you might do. User:Mhking has copied and pasted the text from Robin Hood (BBC TV series) into Robin Hood (TV series) and turned the former into a redirect. Aren't you supposed to have the page properly moved rather than copying and pasting like that, to preserve the edit history? Also the talk page hasn't been moved and it's generally a bit of a mess, so I was wondering what standard procedure on this sort of thing was? Angmering 19:46, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
Not meaning to be rude or anything, but how do you interpret WP:OWN? I've noticed a vast majority of your edits are to Doctor Who related pages, and a huge number of Doctor Who article edits are attributed to you. This looks to be flat out Ownership of articles, but I'm sure you have a different opinion on the matter. Don't take this as an attack, as I've noticed that in terms of pure vandalism vigilance, you are a damn fine editor. But you seem to undo virtually any little note that you disagree with, which undermines Wikipedia policy in general. I don't believe this is intentional, as when I brought it up on the Theme Music page, you corrected it and helped incorporate into the article better than I could. Please, what ae your thoughts?

Hi there, As Doctor Who fans I would believe that the time has come that we should finally sort the monsters and aliens page out. I hope you would agree with me that the article probably needs a split, however the ways we could split it are disputed. I was wondering what your views would be on this ongoing debate which I hope could be drawn to a close.

Thanks for moving the new page to The Family of Blood. I wasn't sure how to name it - I noticed that the article for Utopia would need the diambiguation, but I was unsure about The Family of Blood. Silver Nemesis 15:48, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi, saw you'd reverted my change to "Osirans" - looked at the note you referred me to in your comments - I don't follow, the note explains that the script for Pyramids spells it "Osirians" but surely this counts for less than the actual programme where it is clearly pronounced "Osirans" throughout? What relevance can the script have to canonicity? MarkThomas 12:38, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your comment on my page - then I started wondering, perhaps it's more subtle than I think, and really Sutekh had a secret pronunciation that was written in special Osirian symbols that only the Doctor could read and he was just mocking them by deliberately mis-pronouncing it "Osiran". Or am I taking this canonicity thing too seriously? MarkThomas 13:00, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
I think I have an idea for the page:
NB: -- is == but I didn't use it because it would appear as a separate message.... Also there could be a small image at the side.
--Gelth--
The Gelth are gaseous lifeforms that appeared in the 2005 episode The Unquiet Dead. The Gelth came from a planet beyond the rift. Their bodies were destroyed in the time war so they inhabited the dead bodies in a funeral parlour where the rift came out.
