Hey, I'm really sorry about deleting the template without substing it in your userspace first. I'm trying to subst it in your userspace and it doesn't seem to be working. If there's something about cite templates that prevents them from being substed, would you want to just move the template to your userspace? Peace, delldot ∇. 06:03, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Hm, I see you haven't edited in a bit and I need to get to bed. So I'm hoping moving it to your userspace is ok. If not definitely let me know and I'll fix it tomorrow. Peace, delldot ∇. 06:11, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Template assistance request: Template:Neighboring hoods

Howdy. The template above (of which I know little) is used on a few hundred pages to give little directional maps. It also seems to be the source of some weird red links I've been chasing down - see here for some examples. Template markup's not far short of bracket-riddled gibberish to me - any chance you could cast an eye over it and suppress the dodgy links please? - TB (talk) 17:10, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello Topbanana...I will eyeball it a bit and see what is going on with it, however, it appears this template is for a specific location in the U.S. (the D.C. area). Is this template going to be put into wider circulation once it is fixed and working? LA (T) @ 08:00, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

No idea as to the template's provenance or goals, only that it's the source of a few hundred weird-looking red links. From the history it looks like a pet project of User:Blahblah29; if it's useful it'll propagate I'm sure and find a wider use. All the better if it's tidied up before this happens. Cheers. - TB (talk) 14:17, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Wow, did you really bring me a hard one. I will do what I can to help, but I am a bit rusty so it may take me a day or so. LA (T) @ 20:24, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. MBisanz ^talk 02:17, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

A voice from the past

Hello, my lady! I don't know if you remember me - I was the unwitting enthusiast who worked on the Films based on books project over 2 years ago. I've been inactive for a while but would like to offer my assistance with that project or any other that you think needs help. I hope we can still be friends. Cheers, Pegship (talk) 20:46, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Peg...I have nearly quit all together. I have gotten involved with my own personal projects. I haven't even looked at Films based on books in as many years. Out work could be totally devastated by now. I have gotten tired of the politics that one has to go through here to get anything done these days. It has stopped being a fun endeavor. I check back here every once in a while to see if I have any messages, but most of them these days are about my work getting deleted which is really upsetting. I hope you are well. LA (T) @ 22:00, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm doing OK. I moved on to other pursuits and I know I won't be involved as intensely as before on WP. Good move on your part, finding other projects; I wish you well with 'em. Cheers, Pegship (talk) 22:32, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Pegs...feel free to e-mail me anytime. I have my e-mail attached to my WP account. Let's try to keep in touch off wiki maybe? LA (T) @ 11:26, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject Maryland

It was recently suggested that WikiProject Maryland might be inactive or semiactive and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States.

Hi, I noticed that you are also a Template activist! I created those reading-xxx categories because a lot of users subscribed (red categories) without creating...

By the way, why should the reading-xxx categories have been deleted?

I was a use template activist, until I lost the battle. I tend to put myself in categories that aren't created to just do it. You should look at my other subpages. :)

The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us! Dominic·t 01:05, 30 December 2011 (UTC) 1 Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited.

Invitation to events: bot, template, and Gadget makers wanted

I thought you might want to know about some upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, extending functionality with JavaScript, the future of ResourceLoader and Gadgets, the new Lua templating system, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the Chennai event in March, the Berlin hackathon in June, the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC, or any other of our events.

God of Shamisen

One of the members of the band God of Shamisen contacted me yesterday asking my help to figure out why the article on his band was deleted since the band had an unusual lead instrument, the shamisen. Also, I have been told the band has had write ups in several newspapers. The band has released albums since the article was deleted. I would like to look at the article, the history, and talk pages to see what was written, who wrote it, and what could be done to add to it to make it a worthwhile article for Wikipedia, if possible. He also told me that the band leader's article was not deleted, which made him wonder why the band's article was deleted.

The the e-mail from the band member was a total surprise to me; I don't even know him. He's a friend of a follower of mine on Twitter. As I haven't been around Wikipedia in a while, I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing here. LA (T) @ 04:59, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

I've userfied it to User:Lady Aleena/God of Shamisen so you can take a look. It was deleted in 2007 (!) for lack of notability, they hadn't produced an album at that point so that was likely a sensible call at the time. I haven't looked for sources, but if the band now has sources that meet WP:GNG, I don't see why the article couldn't be rewritten. I'm off to bed, but let me know if you decide to work on the article, or alternatively let me know if it's time to put it back in the archives. Thanks! --j⚛e decker^talk 07:07, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

I've had to comment out one or two things to keep the userfiied articles from being put into categories, FYI. --j⚛e decker^talk 07:10, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

User page red links

I'm part of a group working their way through red-linked categories. Right now there's only your user page standing between me and drawing a line under the Category:WikiProject * participants, but much though it pains me I will respect your request not to remove those red links myself. However, can I politely request a few adjustments?

• I've created Category:WikiProject Fantasy participants - but would note that the trend seems to be towards using members for WikiProjects, especially now that {{Participant}} can detect whether it should use members or participants
• On that note, Category:WikiProject Horror members, Category:WikiProject Science Fiction members and Category:WikiProject Star Trek members exist and are well-used
• A downgrade from WP to TF means you now want Category:Torchwood task force participants
• Given that Category:WikiProject_Films_based_on_books_participants now refers to an archived department, I'd suggest it is obsolete

I haven't got started on the Category:Wikipedians... yet, but I've got my eye on them. Given past discussions I'd suggest that you're much more likely to get "interested in" categories than "plays" or "uses" categories - that just seems to be the way Wikipedia is being standardised.(sic) Just speaking personally, I'm not too keen on "cards", it would be better expressed as individual games IMHO. Cheers. Le Deluge (talk) 23:51, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Le Deluge, I am so glad you actually took time to read and see I want to preserve the red linked categories into which I put myself when you stopped by my user page. I have been fighting a war against bots for years now. Also, I have not been here for a while, so I had to go find the ones removed.

Now, I have done you the favor of removing all of the WikiProject categories from my user page. I have not done any work on Wikipedia for a very long time other than updating my user page to keep it current. If you look back in my edits, you may see my argument against members in favor of participants. Sure, I was a member of all of those projects, but I have not participated in so long they have surely forgotten me.

All of these categories being moved to interested in show how passive Wikipedia has become. I am more than interested in some subjects, I interact with some with them in an action verb way. I know I will lose the battle against interested in.

I am for standardization on Wikipedia. I have tried on many occasions to standardize this or that with little success. However, it does not mean I am for the direction the standardization is leaning towards. Instead of making Wikipedia more active by allowing action verbs in places like user categories, Wikipedia is sliding towards passivity. LA (T) @ 10:01, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

PS. You could read Categories for discussion/User/Genre and media categories & it's talk page to see my opinion on user categories. LA (T) @ 11:57, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

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. Contributors TheDoctorWho (talk) Pokelego999 (talk) Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) If you wish to contribute to future editions of the newsletter, leave a message on the WikiProject talk page or reach out to one of the current contributors listed above. If you do not wish to receive future editions of the Space-Time Telegraph, please remove your name from our our mailing list.

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.

WIkiProject Doctor Who: December 2024 Newsletter

The Space-Time Telegraph Volume II, Issue III — December 2024 Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who Anyone for a Ham and Cheese Toastie and a Pumpkin Latte? Joy to the Doctor Who WikiProjects Hello and welcome to the third issue of the new newsletter! A look ahead to the happenings of the WikiProject as we welcome a new year Continued Improvement of Content Since the last Newsletter, the articles "Eve of the Daleks", Terror of the Zygons, "The Name of the Doctor", "Silence in the Library", Doctor Who series 2, Mel Bush, Peter Capaldi, "Midnight", "Forest of the Dead", "The Church on Ruby Road", Doctor Who specials (2023), and Doctor Who series 14 have all been promoted to Good Article status. The Good Topic Doctor Who specials (2023) and the Featured Topic Peter Capaldi have also been promoted. With the amount of articles promoted in the year, we have had our second most productive year of all time, falling just short of beating the record set by 2012. Work is continuing underway on articles Project-wide, and the Good Topic for the revived era nears completion. Ongoing discussion and goals can be found at WP:WikiProject Doctor Who/Goals and nominees for promoted content here. Feel free to contribute in writing or in reviewing! Reliable Sources A discussion on the reliability of CultBox has determined that it should be phased out of use in the WikiProject. This source has been widely used across project articles, especially for information about filming. Concerns that the website is self-published and has poor editorial standards were raised. In some articles, project editors have already begun depreciating the source. Similar concerns were raised about Doctor Who TV (doctorwho.tv.co.uk). Uses of this source have also been depreciated. This website should NOT be confused with Doctor Who TV (doctorwho.tv), a commercial website published by the Beeb, which is acceptable for use as a primary source. As discussed in the previous issue, Doctor Who News has been widely phased out where possible. If you have any comments about these sources or any others, please contribute to the discussions on the project talk page. Novels Being Overhauled The scrutiny on many of the Doctor's past adventures through print over the years continues in regard to determining their individual notability. Discussions can be found on the WikiProject's talk page, with discussion still well under way in ironing out which articles pass the notability bar. You can contribute by helping to improve articles of the novels, and other extended media, and bringing attention to the ones that might not. Project Barnstar In breaking news, it appears that Torchwood Three has been raided. The resurrection gauntlet has been stolen and used on the WikiProject Doctor Who Barnstar. If you notice exceptional contributions in project areas by any editor, feel free to show them some appreciation by awarding them their very own ✨barnstar✨. Intelligence Bulletin from the Subwave Network The War Between the Land and the Sea concluded filming on 10 December. A 90-minute colourised version of The War Games aired on 23 December. "Joy to the World" aired on 25 December. An animated version of the completely missing First Doctor serial, The Savages, is due to be released in March 2025. The editorial board of the newsletter is able to exclusively confirm that there will be no Dalek shenanigans for the third consecutive New Year. Polish off those resolutions, don't start a revolution, and celebrate New Year's Eve responsibly.

An additional good topic covering the series articles from 2005–present has been nominated and is currently receiving feedback. Though content creation has slowed in recent months, content improvement should hopefully see an increase as series 15 ticks ever closer. Future Project Goals The WikiProject will once again be working in collaboration to complete a Good Topic encompassing the series and its related articles. Any contributions will be greatly appreciated. Several editors have planned upcoming work for Doctor Who-related character, episode, and performer articles.

A special hour-long episode of Doctor Who: Unleashed documenting Doctor Who's 2005 revival process is currently in production. It is set to be released later this year on BBC iPlayer in the UK and internationally on YouTube to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the revival. The blu-ray box set for Doctor Who season 7 collection was made available on 3 March. In breaking news, David Tennant almost didn't touch this.

WIkiProject Doctor Who: June 2025 Newsletter

The Space-Time Telegraph Volume III, Issue II — June 2025 Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who People assume that a newsletters are a strict progression of stuff happening to author's writing, but, actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of spacey-timey teley-graphy... stuff This is my Space-Time Telegraph Detector: 🕹️ It goes *ding* when there's a new newsletter out Welcome to the second 2025 issue of the Space-Time Telegraph.

WIkiProject Doctor Who: April 2026 Newsletter

The Space-Time Telegraph Volume IV, Issue I — April 2026 Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who A new newsletter materializing? Quick, help us reverse the polarity of the neutron flow so it can safely land on your talk pages! Don't be lasagna (because there's a new newsletter to read) Hello, and welcome to our first 2026 issue of The Space-Time Telegraph. Inside you'll find plenty of information about recent happenings in our little Who corner of Wikipedia. We've also included a plethora of Doctor Who news you may have missed elsewhere in the last few months such as the finding of previously missing episodes, upcoming and recent product releases, a new streaming home for Who across the pond (and even a potential future partnership for new episodes). So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and jump on in! Into the Vortex! (Of Good and Featured Content) Since our newsletter last December, the Doctor Who WikiProject has seen a large amount of quality article improvement. So far, 16 Good Articles have been improved this year! We're at about the same pace we were last year, which is always good to see, especially given the twelve other articles nominated for GA status at present. Special shoutouts to users Rhain for their improvements on First Doctor serials, SkywalkerEccleston for their various improvements across a wide variety of articles, Lbal for their work on Full Circle (Doctor Who), and Doomitron for their work on Sixth Doctor. Additionally, since then, Ice Warrior has been improved to Featured Article status, List of Doctor Who creatures and aliens and List of Doctor Who characters have been improved to Featured List status, and three Good Topics focused on articles relating to the Midnight Entity, the Slitheen, and Doctor Who series 15 have been nominated and approved. Congratulations to all of the users who have improved quality Doctor Who articles in the past few months! A flabbergasting discovery In March, it was announced that episodes 1 ("The Nightmare Begins") and 3 ("Devil's Planet") of The Daleks' Master Plan were found by the charity Film is Fabulous! in a private collection among some films. The collector gave them permission to have them and sadly passed away not long after. Upon learning of the discovery through Toby Hadoke, actor Peter Purves, who starred in the episodes alongside William Hartnell and Adrienne Hill, said "My flabber has never been so gasted". The episodes were shown at a BFI screening (with Purves in attendance) in April and are now available on BBC iPlayer in the UK and the official Doctor Who Classic YouTube channel in the US. This means that episodes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 of The Daleks' Master Plan are now available. It has been hinted that more could be found in the near future as 95 episodes remain missing. Intelligence Bulletin from the Subwave Network The 1996 American-produced Doctor Who television film was remastered in 4K using the original film reels for a Blu-ray release this May. The restored version includes both the UK and U.S. broadcast versions and new special features. Big Finish Productions recently extended their contract with the BBC to continue licensing the Doctor Who franchise intellectual property for audio stories through 2035. The first new production to be confirmed following this announcement, is a fifteen-part box set featuring David Tennant set to begin releasing bimonthly next year. In February, the First Doctor serial The Rescue was published on vinyl record as a special release for Record Store Day in the United Kingdom. Circuit Breaker, a new multi-platform story starring Jo Martin as the Fugitive Doctor was announced by BBC Studios to launch this June. Spanning audio, books, comics, games, magazine, internet, and Blu-ray releases, tells a singular interconnected story about UNIT's Black Archive across several mediums. Seventeen years after its last release, Character Options is releasing a new five-part set of Doctor Who figures beginning in July. In the United States, AMC+ has secured rights to be the exclusive streaming video on demand host of all 2005–2022 Doctor Who episodes. This era of Who has been unavailable to stream in the States since its removal from HBO Max in July 2025. Noticeably absent from press releases are mention of spin-off series Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures; while these shows have historically been packaged with this era of Who in streaming deals on HBO Max, before that on Amazon Prime Video, as well as Netflix and Hulu in the ancient days, there is no confirmation if these will be included. Elsewhere in America, Classic Who has it's own streaming home on BritBox (yes, BritBox still exists on this side of the pond), while the 60th anniversary specials and Gatwa's era remain on Disney+ for the foreseeable future. Disney has also yet to release The War Between the Land and the Sea, a five-part miniseries previously marketed by the company as releasing outside of the UK and Ireland in "early 2026". There is also no news on where, if anywhere, future episodes of Who will air or stream in the United States (or elsewhere worldwide, for that matter); however, AMC Global Media (the owner of AMC+) owns BBC America, which it regularly licenses BBC content for and was the linear broadcaster of Who from 2009–2022, and a non-controlling ownership stake in BritBox. AMC+ was also previously the next-day streamer of Who episodes during the Jodie Whittaker/Chris Chibnall-era as a transitional period between their broadcast on BBC America and release on HBO Max. Given this, and the global reach of AMC+, it's a feasible home for future new episodes and even the rumored potential of a co-production deal to fill the funding deficit left by Disney. Succession The oldest-living person associated with the Whoniverse since Arnold Yarrow's death in December 2024, Laurie Webb, sadly passed away on 29 March aged 101 years, 327 days. He remains the fifth longest-lived person associated with the Whoniverse and the tenth to become a centenarian. The title of oldest-living person associated with the Whoniverse is now held by 97-year-old Peter Cellier (Time-Flight).
