You are prolific, aren't you?

Hello! My recent, um, Bunting-related indiscretion has prompted me to create an account after all. Editing articles is a lot easier than I'd realised.

Be seeing you. -- Liquidfinale (talk) 22:30, 13 July 2007.

The Movie

I'll stop changing the name of the movie though its code is : TVM so leave it. Plus the Children in Need Special episode number is 170a so please keep it that way.

WP:NFCC and 42 (Doctor Who)

Okay, I didn't mean to be disruptive to that page, I was trying to balance the dispute over which image was more suitable. I will be more careful in the future. --Brinstar 15:45, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Harry Potter stuff

Yep, that was a mistake on my part, but I think the edits removing the stuff seem fairly safe, as there is no sort of citation for the inclusion of the new stuff until we have some sort of citation for its inclusion. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 16:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Ooper Case

Yes. That, and some of the others, do betray my newbie status a little though. I should really follow the assume good faith guidelines before making snide remarks. Though that is difficult when you see the crap edits some people make. Liquidfinale 21:10, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Why do you keep re-editing my posts?

What's wrong with the version of U.N.I.T. i keep having erased from wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Good Will Tinkerer (talk • contribs)

Thak you for your message, i understand that my spelling of "U.N.I.T." may be a bit hard for some to read. I was only attempting to keep the acronym in the same style as written on their insignia.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Good Will Tinkerer (talk • contribs)

Barbie Paper

Hi.

I was a member of the crew that gave John his toy Dalek. It was indeed wrapped in Barbie paper! I was also the sound engineer responsible for the playing in of the voices of Anne Robinson and the 'What not to wear' sequence. You see me (briefly) in DW Confidential. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gw6aps (talk • contribs)

Barbie etc..

I have no idea if it's visible in the dvd, most of that stuff was shot by members of the cast or the DWC crew and I've never watched the final result. The reason I know what happened is that I was there!! We also had champagne for breakfast on location to celebrate.

How can I prove it?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gw6aps (talk • contribs)

TVM

Hmm, fair enough, though I think the citation is a bit dodgy, since it is in no way contemporary with the production of the movie, which therefore stretches the meaing of "Production Code" quite a bit (i.e. if it is a code latterly used for the serial, it wasn't a production code). Methinks the BBC site also has that fan mentality of "everything must be consistent" and/or has a database where a field must be filled in! I'll leave it as is for now, anyway.

18 01 08 Image at Cloverfield

We appear to have re-uploaded the original image at the same time, mine taking precedence. However, the one you uploaded was a better quality one, which I don't have. Can you re-up it? Sorry 'bout that. Liquidfinale 13:58, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

J King

You reverted my edit, adding the comment:

Rvt last: for some reason, a number of links were munged up by the edit.

Which links are you referring to? Dominique 21:30, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for comment: very curious. Could be a bug & may follow this up with WP Bugzilla. Unless - perish the thought - a clever jinx has been placed on this much-debated word! Dominique 22:31, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Doomsday (Doctor Who)

Thanks for your attention to the above article. However, due to Doctor Who's strong national ties to the United Kingdom, the MoS developed at project level (WP:WHO) recommends we consistently use British spelling. There's a big article on the difference between English variants here, but for practical purposes it's probably easier to navigate the Cambridge ALD if you simply want to determine whether a mistake has been made. Cheers. --Mark H Wilkinson ^{(t, c)} 09:46, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Howdy! I wasn't trying to de-anglicize the spelling, it looked like a misspelling. Are you saying that "Traveller" and "Cancelling" are british versions of the words? I looked at the MoS and the Cambridge dictionary link and didn't see that specified. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 13:08, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

In brief, yes. If you look closely at the Cambridge entries for the words ([1],[2]), the single "l" versions are specified as the US spellings; it's written from the POV that our versions are the "norm", so to speak. --Mark H Wilkinson ^{(t, c)} 14:20, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Ah! Thanks, I've been looking for a way to reliably differentiate between the two. The obvious ones like 'colour' and 'stabilise' are easy, but the double L threw me for a loop. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 15:22, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Regarding image:Doctor42

I would like to know why the image was deleted, the deletion log says it was deleted because it wasn't being used, when clearly it was being used on the article. Also the log said it delete because it was non-free, well in accordance to the policy it was minimal non-free material on that page. So I'm confused as to why something would get deleted if there wasn't a problem with it.--Brinstar 09:09, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
