Doctor Who companions edit

You're making up rules here. See Talk:Companion (Doctor Who)#Future Companions (2) for the discusssion. You are editing repeatedly against consensus without discussion, and that is not constructive. U-Mos (talk) 11:18, 4 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Umos, I am using the same reasoning as has also been used at Iron Chef America by the editor Drmargi regarding the new Iron Chef Garces. According to his edits, WP:CRYSTAL has been invoked as justification to prevent a character or actor from appearing in a Wikipedia article until such time as said character or actor has actually appeared on screen. By that reasoning, the same should apply to any Companion characters that accompany the Eleventh Doctor on the Doctor Who series. The Eleventh Doctor is justified as he has appeared onscreen in "The End of Time part 2", but the character Amy Pond and the actress Karen Gillian has not actually appeared in any actual Doctor Who story on screen, and will not until the new series begins in Spring 2010. Please advise, or please go revert the changes made by editor Dmargi on the Iron Chef America page and provide him the same justification you provided me.

Valid points, but nevertheless valid points that have been raised before and have a consensus against them. I don't know anything about Iron Chef America so can't comment, but as it's non-fictional perhaps that is a different kettle of fish. At any rate there's WP:OSE to consider.

I'm going to drop the issue... my comments above still stand as my stance on listing characters/actors/persons who have not been actually aired. I would also include such arguments as the "What if the actress passes away/decides to quit", similar to the issue where Genivieve Bujold dropped out of the role of Kathryn Janeway on Star Trek Voyager after signing a contract and filming a number of scenes. I guess there would be merit since the actress has appeared in pre-production advertisements such as the behind the scenes confidentals, but if those are considered canon and part of the actual events of the show, as opposed to a supplement behind the scenes, is at question. Regardless, I am not going to pursue this any further. I will take your insights on this as definitive, as you are a more experienced editor than myself. No further pursuit of this issue will be heard from me. Erpbridge (talk) 18:58, 4 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest edit

I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:22, 18 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
