Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Doctor Who planets, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page River Song. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Turn Left (Doctor Who) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 08:09, 18 April 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mistoop (talk • contribs) [reply]

Doctor Who timeline etc...

Hi there. It doesn't matter greatly what exact wording is used in the show. What matters is that the explanations given on Wikipedia are comprehensible to a reader who does not know about it, which is why "alternate timeline" is helpful while "parallel world" isn't.

Doctor Who (series 4)

Hey there. I've noticed your great work on Doctor Who (series 3) with expanding the episode summaries. I'm updating Doctor Who (series 4) for its Good Article status (see the talk page), and I was wondering if you were interested in expanding the summaries for the fourth series as well? If not, I'm happy to rewatch the episodes and summarize them properly as I watch. Cheers! -- AlexTW 11:27, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pokemon

When you really think about it, the Pokémon themselves have appeared in every single aspect of the franchise, including games, spinoffs and anime, whereas Ash is an anime only character, so basically, aren’t they the main protagonists of the franchise.

Alex 21's scripts

Thank you for sorting out all those long plot summaries. I don't know if you're aware, but Alex 21 has created a bunch of Javascripts here, including one that can tell you the number of words in an articles plot summary. He also provides clear instructions on use. Just thought it might make your editing easier if you wanted to use it; it proved really useful for me on several American Horror Story episode articles. Kind regards --TedEdwards 23:52, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Pokémon films

Hello, TardisTybort. First of all, I commend you for your work on the Pokémon articles, specifically those pertaining to the films and anime. Lately, I've been wondering about getting those films up to GA status, similar to what was done with the James Bond film series (which I'm using as a model), if you're interested in doing so. Thoughts? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 17:40, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Short descriptions for Doctor Who companions

Hello, TardisTybort. I notice that you changed the short descriptions to refer to "Doctor Who" instead of the abbreviated "Dr Who", and I understand your reasoning. You also moved that title to the end of the short description. However, you should be aware that on many devices the short descriptions are truncated at 40 characters. The reason I originally abbreviated it was an attempt to give the most meaningful information in that 40 characters - it would read "Fictional character in the Dr Who TV ser", whereas the expanded version will read "Fictional character in the TV series Doc". I figured it was better to truncate the word "series" rather than losing the most recognizable part of the title. You might like to keep this in mind in future when you "fix" short descriptions, and perhaps even discuss the matter before making bulk changes like that.--Gronk Oz (talk) 01:27, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sarah Jane Adventures

Hi, the end credits are sufficient for cast listings as per MOS:TVCAST which does not demand the opening credits. Also references are not necessary for obvious cast ordering based on the credits, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 20:13, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

While this might account for Paige and Knight (post Revenge of the Slitheen) and Anthony and Mohindra, the full section you're referring to says: "Please keep in mind that though "main" cast members are determined by the series producers (not by popularity, screen time, or episode count) and generally have a set order in the credits." That is what the edit reason "Sources are needed for 'starring'" means, because the top of the end credits is just every actor credit with no break and no differentiation between starring/guest starring/co-starring (while the opening titles do single out "starring Elisabeth Sladen".
I'm a little unclear about your phrasing but if by obvious cast ordering you mean how the stars are simply situated at the top, then this would include Knight, Anthony, Paige, and Mohindra, but exclude Armstrong (situated after the actors that play Maria and Rani's parents), and Leeson (bottom of the cast listing, not even a "with" or "and").
