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.

Warning on a user page

Hi, I added a level 3 warning template on a user page because they only edits they've ever made have been to remove the same information from a single article on several occasions now. I've only now realised/noticed that you had put a different warning template on earlier today (as yours was headed 'Welcome' I thought it had been added after their first edit; I should've looked at the timestamp, I apologise). I mention this here because I realise Wikipedia policy prevents you from removing my talk page edit, and I thought it would be best to give you the opportunity to ask me to remove my template if you think I've unnecessarily duplicated your warning. best regards, JustAnotherCompanion (talk) 20:58, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

No worries. DonQuixote (talk) 00:31, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Slo-Mo Dredd

Hello thank you for looking over my changes. I wanted to make a page for SLO-MO as that was necessary in order to add it to a category list of fictional drugs.

The Slo-Mo page itself redirects to Dredd and also features on a SLO-MO disambiguation page.

I agree it’s unlikely to need a full page but in order to feature on the ‘fictional drugs and medicines’ list it needed its own article. Henryryder (talk) 14:10, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Superman 4

Do you just don't want people to know it was filmed in Aldwych tube station or something?? Govvy (talk) 16:52, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

You need to cite a reliable source known for fact-checking. That's literally the minimum requirement. DonQuixote (talk) 16:53, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

What do you want, take your pick, [1], [2], [3], and it's now your turn to restore the content because I can't break WP:3RR. Govvy (talk) 16:56, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

I suggest you study WP:RS. Here's a hint: which of those has a fact-checking department. It's probably not the tourist companies. DonQuixote (talk) 17:05, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

You're clearly not here to building wikipedia then it seems, so I will blacklist you from now on. Govvy (talk) 18:23, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
