Hey, sorry about not getting back to you. I would be interested, though I don't know that I'm yet in the best space to be working towards GA nominations. Perhaps in the future when things are more relaxed. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 00:34, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor Who series 2 ratings

Hi OlifanofmrTennant, I am just letting you know, in order to save you time and in case you begin one yourself, that I will create a ratings table for the Doctor Who series 2 article in my sandbox, which I will then publish on the article.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Malcolm Merlyn (April 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by PARAKANYAA was:

This appears to be a duplicate of another submission, Merlyn (DC Comics), which is also waiting to be reviewed. To save time we will consider the other submission and not this one.

The comment the reviewer left was:

proposal that they were separately notable has failed to achieve consensus, most of this can probably be incorporated into the dc comics page.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Malcolm Merlyn and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Warning templates

Don't template regular editors, it's insulting. If an editor reverts your edit - it's for a reason. -- Alex_21_TALK 04:50, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"If an editor reverts your edit - it's for a reason." Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 04:56, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and I explained why your edit was reverted, and attempted to educate you. Your reasoning was "wrong". Try to see the difference, ta. -- Alex_21_TALK 05:08, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You say "Don't template regular editors" because its rude yet [1] Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:22, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A valid usage to educate a newer editor. -- Alex_21_TALK 05:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If your citing essays WP:SENIORITY. At that point I had around 4000 edits a GA and an FL. So seems kinda like a bit of hipocracy on your part. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:33, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to not be educated as a newer editor and refuse to discuss material, simply let me know, and I'll simply add my reasonings in my revert summaries. I could cite my own hundreds of thousands of edits and over a dozen GA's, but that's not relevant. You ever heard of the saying "don't bite the hand that feeds you"? If someone's trying to help you, they're doing it to support you. -- Alex_21_TALK 05:39, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It doesnt seem like youve been trying to be helpful. It seems like youve been trying to refuse to work with me. Like when you killed a GAN because you refused to replace a source. Infact when I did replace a source you cited WP:PRIMARY concerns. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:42, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can't help you if you won't discuss. I explained the reasoning behind the source. Simply because you didn't like my reasoning, doesn't mean that's a refusal. -- Alex_21_TALK 05:44, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Except it was. "As far as I can tell, that RNS discussion has not concluded," I repetadly invited you to participate in the open RNS. Your only piece of evidence was "Its been used before". Noting else. You were asked for more reasons and you circled back to "Its been used before. "nor does it have any clear consensus." Outright lie it was pretty clearly against the use of Doctor Who News. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:49, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your opinion on my editing is duly noted, cheers. I also recommend you be more collaborative with editors in the future here, but that's entirely up to you. -- Alex_21_TALK 05:53, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I literally just pointed out how you refused to be coperative and your response is to tell me to be more collaborative? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:55, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I can see you're just turning this into a "no u" argument. Go ahead and do what you want, ignore the advice of experienced editors and bite their hand. Good luck with your future editing, if that's your plan. Cheerio. -- Alex_21_TALK 07:09, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Collaboration?

I've been mostly inactive with WikiProject Doctor Who for a while, but I'll admit you and other editors' recent efforts have inspired me to try taking more of a crack at this again. I know you've got a lot of plans for improving a lot articles, so I was wondering if you'd want to work together on improving some of these. I'd be willing to help where I can. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 01:53, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant Personally whatever works best for the purposes of the project. I will say my one critical issue is that I don't have access to the Unleashed episodes for dev info (I live outside of the UK) so I won't be able to help much with that specific aspect. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 02:16, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokelego999: You did identify that the only thing spotting a series 7 GT is The Name of the Doctor Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant If you want I could try taking a look at that, but if you already have plans for its improvement I wouldn't want to interfere. As an aside, what will you do about the minisodes (P.S. (Doctor Who), Pond Life (Doctor Who), Good as Gold (Doctor Who)) given that they're technically a part of the series? Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 02:30, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokelego999: Nothing, yes they are part of the series, minisode aren't included in the Series 6 GT. Space and Time (Doctor Who) Is a GA but inst included. Night and the Doctor Isnt a GA but didn't hold the nom back. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:36, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see, good to know. But yeah, if you want, I could potentially try taking a look at some of the earlier Doctor Who series (3 and 4) given they aren't GT quite yet. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 02:39, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokelego999: Though I would be willing to work on series 4. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 15:25, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant I can work on it solo if you wish. Moreso just so that I can help you with promoting more articles overall. But again, if you feel it would be better to just dual-tackle Name of the Doctor, then I can do that as well. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 16:39, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokelego999: There is WP:NORUSH but I think given that series 4 is seven away from GT status and series 7 is only the one. It might be better to focus our efforts on getting that one done. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 16:46, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Legends of Tomorrow season 1 into Draft:Last Refuge (Legends of Tomorrow). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s).

Apologies about not getting to work on The Name of the Doctor recently. I've admittedly been getting very sidetracked, but it's on my to-do list to do very soon. In any case, I recently expanded The Giggle with production information and additional reviews for the Reception. Would you be willing to go through and make sure everything is formatted properly? I'm still new to writing for TV episodes and I want to make sure everything's in order before I nominate this for Good Article. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 00:35, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokelego999: Yeah I'll get right on that. Would you be intrested in me being a co-nom? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 02:12, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant Given that you've added a good chunk to that article beforehand and reviewing it now, I wouldn't be opposed if you want to be listed. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 02:18, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokelego999: Finished should be good to go! Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 03:42, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant Thank you for the help! Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 03:52, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant I've just noticed that since Doctor Who specials (2023) and The Star Beast (Doctor Who episode) are already GAs, and with The Giggle being nominated, Wild Blue Yonder (Doctor Who) is the only one of the specials not to be GA-ready. Would you be willing to collaborate to improve it to GA status? I'd be willing to do most of the sourcing if it's easier that way, but given how close we are to a potential Good Topic it feels a worthwhile goal to go after. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 04:00, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) I'd be willing to hop in on and help on WBY if you guys don't mind? I could probably add stuff from the Unleashed episode sometime over the next few days if it's needed. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:19, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yeah definitely Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:18, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That'd be great. For the time being I'll add information from the behind the scenes videos released via Youtube and additional sources. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 18:08, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheDoctorWho @OlifanofmrTennant I've added more sources to the Reception and expanded the Behind the Scenes information. All that's needed now is the information from the Unleashed episode and a copy-edit in case of any mistakes on my part. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 20:11, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I mean honestly the YouTube BTS videos are usually a cut down version of the Unleashed episodes. That said, I'm honestly not sure that I'll find that much more to add and I have no objections if you two want to go ahead and nominate it. I believe there's a CC-BY short from the YouTube channel I can add to the plot section.

I can use the extra time to wrap up work on the GAN for Space Babies. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:43, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added the clip. I noticed ~~my arm~~ the plot is just a tad too long. TheDoctorWho (talk) 06:11, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheDoctorWho is the current plot good? I've tried to trim it as best as I can but I'm uncertain what the usual length for a television episode is. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 21:20, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Still looks to be about 50 words too long per MOS:TVPLOT.

An episode article should have a length of 400 words or less (200 or less for episode summaries on series/season, show, or list of episode pages). There's a script you can install on your common.js page that will check it and let you know. TheDoctorWho (talk) 21:27, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, just checked again, the count I had above included the video caption. Subtracting that it's only 24 words too long. TheDoctorWho (talk) 21:29, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheDoctorWho I moved the mentions of the salt to the Development section given how it impacts the following episode, which shifts the word count below 400. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 22:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, would both you and @OlifanofmrTennant want to be listed as co-noms? I'll do most of the work during the review of course if it's easier but I do want to check with both of you either way. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 22:32, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, latest count returned 377 words so its good to go with a little wiggle room. I have no objection to being a co-nom, but I do understand that I didn't contribute that much to the overall article, so I also won't be upset if either of you want to leave me off. TheDoctorWho (talk) 01:31, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've added you. @OlifanofmrTennant let me know if you want to be added as well. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 03:19, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokelego999: yeah absolutely. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 07:21, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've just written and subsequently nominated "Destination: Skaro" for GA. If you guys don't mind, I'd love to add it into the good topic nomination once everything is reviewed? TheDoctorWho (talk) 08:42, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheDoctorWho: Supplementary episodes aren't included in GTs historically speaking. For the series 6 GT, Space and Time is a GA but is not included and Night and the Doctor is not a GA but didn't hold the nom back. I previously told @Pokelego999: the same thing about a possible s7 gt. However I would suggest starting a conversation about adding minisodes to Gts at either the talk page of WP:FGTC or the WP:DRWHO talk page. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 09:49, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I personally feel like this is a prime example of WP:OTHERSTUFF/WP:OTHERCONTENT, just because it's excluded in one location doesn't mean we should automatically exclude it in another. The article clearly meets WP:GT? points 1(B)(C), and honestly shouldn't be excluded per 1(D). TheDoctorWho^Public (talk) 15:22, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about being a "prime example" given that it's within the same series. WP:OTHERSTUFF usually applies to unrelated topics. Regardless l would recommend starting a discussion about it where ever you deem fit. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 15:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also severely disagree with your classification of "historical" given that the series 6 GA was just promoted in January. Anyhow, here you go. TheDoctorWho^Public (talk) 16:53, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Name of the Doctor

I did what research I could and added some additional information to the article, but frankly the search for the episode has been buried in other results and BTS info is very lacking. I'm admittedly a bit stumped on how best to proceed with the article since there really isn't much out there for it, surprisingly, and the stuff that does exist is buried and difficult to find. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 20:33, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokelego999: So possibly send the article to GA in its current state? Production info seems relativly weak though Broadcast is definatly strong enough Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 10:09, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. Would you like to be listed as a co-nom? Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 17:02, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 17:12, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokelego999 I did a little digging for a little side project i've been devolopeing and I found this, Doctor Who - The Complete History (2015) it provides tons of details on every serial through Twice Upon a Time. A ton of production info, its reliable its been used for the classic series GAs. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 18:21, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant I've heard about these books (Iirc I forget if they're a primary source or not but either way I remember seeing ads in DWM for them back in the day) and tmk they definitely are reliable. I'll see if I can't add info from this to the article later today once I've gotten some irl things done. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 19:15, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant A few things

I severely underestimated the content this book had to offer. I'm afraid I won't have time to add all the information myself. I've added a good chunk on the writing section, but I'm afraid I'll have to leave the rest to you. I'm really sorry, but my schedule doesn't allow for this much of a time sink.
Where did you find this on Archive.org? I'd love to check this out of their library for myself given my current work at List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens, but when I checked I could only find specific incarnations of The Complete History for borrowing.

In any case, best of luck with editing. If you need my help for any other edits of a smaller duration, do let me know, but going through 40+ pages of a book and citing all the content individually is a bit outside of the time frame I have available to me. My schedule is stricter than I'd like and I only have so much free time, let alone for editing. I'm really sorry I can't be of further help right now. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 04:20, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pokelego999: I'll definitely get to work. Though given the amount of info I would consider pulling the nomination. I searched Terror of the Zygon in the books tap then filtered by found in text. I found it amount collection of various magazine scans and other books. I recommend searching your topic by in text as opposed to metadata. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 04:24, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see if I can't look into the book when I have time, then. But yeah, given the amount of time it'll take to add this info, I'm willing to pull the nomination and re-nominate when you've added all of the information to the article in order to allow for the smoothest editing window.

As an aside, do you plan on adding info from this book to your other GAs from Series 7? I doubt we can retroactively add it to every GA we have (That would require a project in and of itself) but given this one's up for nomination soon it might be worthwhile. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 04:28, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably, unrelated would you be willing to take a look at Terror of the Zygons I've been fixing it up and was hoping for some feedback Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:05, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant looking it over briefly, I'd suggest expanding it with info from The Complete History and this source if possible, since both contain a wealth of production info. There's probably more, but I feel that's a good start. Honestly kudos to you for improving that article, since there's a lot of lower end Classic Who articles.

WIkiProject Doctor Who Newsletter: July 2024

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.

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.
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.
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.
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:

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.
The freenode channel no longer works and should be removed due to most discussion taking place on site.
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.
An updates infobox should be included, similarly to those used by Wikipedia:VGCHAR.
Radio Times's Doctor Who sections should be included in the references section due to their benefits for the project sourcing wise.
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.

I'm still pretty busy but I've got a bit more time on my hands than I did when we were working on The Name of the Doctor, so I should be able to provide help where needed. If you believe you've got it covered of course, then feel free to disregard this, but if you find you're busy at any point and need some help with the article, just let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Your draft article, Draft:Network restrictions on profanity

Hello, OlifanofmrTennant. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Network restrictions on profanity".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

WIkiProject Doctor Who: September 2024 Newsletter

The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume II, Issue II — September 2024
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

You like Doctor Who? What's his name then?

Welcome

Hello and welcome to the second issue of the new newsletter! Following the success of the first newsletter we are back to write more stuff.

Articles for deletion
Several articles have been nominated for deletion, such as Time War (Doctor Who), and several articles have been deleted, or merged or redirected, especially those relating to books, due to lack of WP:SIGCOV and WP:NBOOK. Editors can always help either by participating in the deletion discussions (which are noted on the project page), adding to such articles, or bringing attention to other such articles through AfD or the WikiProject talk page, to aid in clean-up.

Notice of Draft Articles
A new Doctor Who spin-off was announced at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, called The War Between the Land and the Sea, and will feature old and new Whoniverse characters working for UNIT as they battle the Sea Devils. The main space article currently redirects to Whoniverse, but collaboration is currently underway in a draft article. As filming on this miniseries has recently begun, its relocation to the mains space will presumably take place soon per the recommendations laid out at WP:NTV.

There is also a draft article in progress for the upcoming 2024 Christmas special. While this article won't be moved until the episode airs, any new contributions are welcome.

Doctor Who News
A small number of editors have recently raised questions regarding the reliability of Doctor Who News. This website is particularly used for information regarding viewing figures and the Appreciation Index of most episodes as well as some news information. If there is a better source for any information supported by this website, it should be replaced in good faith.

A full consensus on whether or not to remove the information that can't be supported by a different source has not yet been reached. Any editor who has opinions on this matter should contribute to the discussion on the WikiProject talk page.

Continued Progress Towards Good/Featured Content
There has been lots of progress made towards recognized articles in the last two months, related to such diverse categories as series, specials, lists and episodes A sub-page has also been added to the WikiProject, to list any possible goals we can aim towards.

Proposals Regarding the State of Fictional Elements Articles in the WikiProject

Several proposals have been laid out regarding fictional elements in the WikiProject, which includes fictional characters, locations, and more. Due to a concerning quality state regarding the large majority of them, several methods of tackling them in order to improve these articles' quality for the future have been proposed. The primary three proposals are as follows:

1. A priority list should be made to determine what articles are most pressing and in need of improvement in the WikiProject overall. Focus would be put onto important subjects and articles in a state of dubious notability that would make them viable for deletion processes such as AfD.

2. A group of articles is selected for improvement, which are ones deemed most relevant to the WikiProject for the future. Any lesser important subjects can be sidelined and worked on as editors see fit.

3. A long term goal is made to improve all elements. This will come at the caveat of taking significantly longer and requiring more heavy participation than the above two proposals, but would guarantee a slow and steady way to solve the issue.

If any editors are interested in chiming into the conversation and sharing their piece on how this should be handled, or if any editors wish to help with this proposal and improve fictional elements articles, then feel free to share thoughts at the discussion's section on the article's talk page.

Regarding the 2022 Specials

Hi there, not sure if you still plan on helping out with this. If not (in reference to your message about the newsletter on the project talk page), I completely understand. I was initially a bit intimidated seeing how much work needed to be done for this one, but after I improved the episode articles first, I think we're in a really good place honestly. A lot of the information from the individual episodes could probably be merged and summarized into overall information to make up a large majority of the production sections. I think our biggest task (and this goes for the episode articles too) is finding a replacement for DWN. I haven't personally had a chance to look yet, but I'm hoping the viewership numbers won't be too hard. AI figures may be a task. TheDoctorWho (talk) 05:20, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I belive so as well. I'v begun digging through old magazine to find numbers Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:23, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick update and current thoughts on where this stands, because I know it's been a minute since I've worked on it:

I think casting and filming sections are pretty much polished off.
I'd like to see if I can expand development and writing just a tad, but as I stated above, this should be simple because I can just pull anything I need from the episode articles.
Promotion looks good since there's only three episodes, but I may still rewrite it, lmao.
Broadcast seems okay, I'll likely copy over info on the U.S./Can/Aus broadcasts from the episode articles.
I still think reception will probably still be the biggest task to tackle. I will say though, that most GA reviewers seem understanding that DWN is being replaced project-wide, and aren't holding promotions because of that. That said, if we get everything other than the DWN replacement done, we can probably go ahead and nominate it, and mention that the project is working on it, if asked. Regardless, this section still needs a ratings analysis, and hopefully some reviews on the three specials together, if they exist.

TheDoctorWho (talk) 06:27, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can definitely through together some reception and pulls some interesting info for writng Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 15:30, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the edit conflict, I had decided to add to the writing a bit myself, guess we had the same idea 😅. I'm personally satisfied with how writing looks now, but as I said in the edit summary, feel free to add to it if you have anything else.

I still intend on polishing off the development section, but other than that we're nearly done. I also added to the critical response section a bit (and shifted the portion you added to the writing section there). I'd like some more non-Thasmin focused stuff, if any exists. I didn't have much luck finding any though, you might have better look if you have time to take a look? TheDoctorWho (talk) 07:23, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Further update, I went ahead and pushed the GAN through, still feel free to add to it with anything else you had, if you want. TheDoctorWho (talk) 06:53, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just replied to the Name of the Doctor GA nom.

As an aside, is there a reason you've stopped using the Complete History on GA noms? I was surprised to see this went back up for nomination without the rest of the Complete History being included.

Twelfth Doctor Good Topic

I noticed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who/Goals that your Twelfth Doctor GT primarily needs the fictional characters (As well as For Tonight We Might Die) in order to be completed. As the Class episode really only needs minor touch-ups, the other characters are the main bulk of the issue. If you'd like, I can try doing some work on these to help with your goal, as this also helps with several of my fictional character related goals. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 15:34, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd absolutly accept the help for the characters, particularly Nardole who up until recently was tagged for notability concerns. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 00:21, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@OlifanofmrTennant I'll do some digging then. I'll prioritize Nardole for now, then go for Bill, as those two need the most work. I'll work on touch-ups and improvements to Twelve and Clara after that. I can't guarantee this will be done soon but I'll try to work on them as best as I can. Has one ever considered Magneton?

Question from VincentHenri (10:19, 23 November 2024)

Hello, Olifanofmr Tennant. My name is VincentHenri. I, too, like television. I recently looked up and story about a B-24 Liberator bomber that crashed in North Africa during WW2. When found so many years later it became the subject of a couple of TV programs. In particular a One Step Beyond episode in which the Wikipedia article referred to the main character seeing a formation of Panther jets. After watching the episode I believe it should read that the main character saw a formation of Cougar jets. Although built by the same manufacturer, the latter Cougar jet is identifiable by the swept wings. I know this could be a small item, but is this the kind of thing for Wikipedia? --VincentHenri (talk) 10:19, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Wikipedia invites everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, but one or more redirects you created, such as with Speed of Flight, have been considered disruptive and/or malicious, and have been reverted or deleted. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 22:36, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article should have been redirected to Virgin Missing Adventures; True airspeed makes no sense for the title. -- Alex_21_TALK 23:14, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, I marked the redirect as reviewed, and I thought it made sense @Alex 21. Maybe not the best target given the prior content at the redirect, but it's not as though the redirect target was silly if you looked strictly at the redirect title. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:07, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dl2000: This is an inappropriate warning, as it's very clear that @OlifanofmrTennant was not malicious. Your edit summary was not appropriate either, considering they were clearly acting in good faith. Consider actually communicating with a user instead of dropping inappropriate warning templates. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:05, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seemed inappropriate and almost disruptive to redirect from a novel article to an aeronautical term, especially since no prior sourcing or notability issues with the Speed of Flight novel were flagged or mentioned in its talk page. However, concur this warning should not have been used here. Dl2000 (talk) 20:54, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Better fair use rationale for File:Debate 109.jpeg

Hi, I saw you added the image File:Debate 109.jpeg for use in the article "Debate 109". However, at the moment, the image appears to serve a purely aesthetic purpose. Per MOS:TVIMAGE: a screenshot of a significant moment or element from the episode ... may only be used if it meets the non-free content criteria, i.e., (typically) if it is required to illustrate the object of explicit, sourced analytical commentary, and where that commentary needs visual support to be understood. Basically, is the image relevant to the reader understanding the episode better? I think this is a weak case, and it definitely needs a better rationale via both the image description page and the image caption if it is to remain. (Also, just a friendly reminder that alt text is always a good idea when adding images.) RunningTiger123 (talk) 04:40, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I fear you may be right. From my first read of the sources I thought the scene was critically praised. Would you have any suggestions for any alternatives? From rereading reviews the Annie and Jeff relation was somewhat controversial so maybe one of them? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 05:31, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to have a screenshot; plenty of episode GAs and FAs don't use them (for instance, these Community GAs). I can't really think of a specific scene that needs a visual explanation right now, but you're welcome to look into the sources further and see if they offer better guidance.
