Thanks for your recent edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool! We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki, so let's get them out of the way first.
British English, please
We generally use British English round these parts, so if you use another form of English, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card.
Spoilers aren't cool
We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details.
Other useful stuff
Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:

• the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
• our Manual of Style
• our image use policy
• our user page policy

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:

• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial

Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this:

Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask an admin.

River Song Edit

Hi! I'm taking this chance to discuss with you your edit of River Song. While it is true that Hitler shoots her after the TARDIS lands, and clearly you wish this noted, you fall into a common error. Unless one deliberately notes otherwise, in any narrative sentence actions take place in the order in which they are written. One does not plunk down sentences in random order: George Washington was President of the United States and fought in the French and Indian War. He died in 1797 and was born in 1732." No, you rationally place these events in their natural chronological order and the reader understands them this way. So "Later" or "after" is unnecessary. Nor is the "minutes later" -- actually, I think it's less than a minute -- of much utility given that it's all part of the same scene.

A well written article is a compromise between getting in all the necessary details -- with, hopefully, enough grace notes to make it interesting -- and a little compassion for the reader, wh may wish find a particular point and then go do something else. Although my usual style of writing is a bit more conversational than is usual in this wiki, I think that a brief style is warranted here and only if one is so terse that meaning is obscured should a bit of padding be used. Do you think that is what happens without your additions to the article?

I do wish to thank you sincerely for your helpfulness. We need people who care enough about the subject to make this wiki better. It's simply that I believe it is miscalculated in this particular case. Boblipton ^{talk to me} 13:29, October 21, 2011 (UTC)
