== Just a Note ==

Thanks for removing the vandalism on the Yankees article. I did however, remove your mention of the increase in vandalism on the talk page. Basically I don't want to feed the trolls [[WP:DNFT]]. The Yankees article has a number of them, and I don't want to give them validity or a sense of purpose by acknowledging that they're getting our attention. They could also use it as [[flamebait]]. Just keep up the great work reverting the vandalism. Cheers. [[User:Yankees76|Yankees76]] 15:10, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Makes perfect sense.  Thanks for the guidance!  [[User:Brad E. Williams|Brad E. Williams]] 15:24, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

== Seeking community input re standardizing baseball roster pages ==

Hi ... I'm leaving you this note because you recently made edits to one of the Major League Baseball roster pages. I've made a proposal for standardizing the format, structure and content of these pages '''[[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball#Proposal to standardize rosters|here]]''' and would appreciate your input so that we may reach a consensus. Thanks. --[[User:Sanfranman59|Sanfranman59]] 05:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

== Image:RobThomson.jpg ==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:RobThomson.jpg]]'''. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria|first fair use criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:Image:RobThomson.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to add <code><nowiki>{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}</nowiki></code>, '''without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[Image talk:RobThomson.jpg|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target={{PAGENAMEE}}&amp;namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]].  If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Replaceable --> [[User:Rhobite|Rhobite]] 03:18, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

== New York Yankees GA/R ==

[[New York Yankees]] has been nominated for a [[WP:GA/R|good article review]]. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to [[WP:WIAGA|good quality]].

==AfD nomination of [[West Side Mall]]==
[[West Side Mall]], an article you created, has been nominated for [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|deletion]].  We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that [[West Side Mall]] satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]" and the [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia deletion policy]]).  Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/West Side Mall{{{order|}}}]] and please be sure to [[WP:SIG|sign your comments]] with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).  You are free to edit the content of [[West Side Mall]] during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion.

== Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees History Page ==
Thanks a lot for the kind words regarding the things I added on the SWB Yanks page! I really didn't want to change anyone's work, but I sat down and tried to work through some of the hard-to-find information regarding the franchise. It took me all day, and I'm still not done. Minor League franchise histories are so hard to trace with the constant movement. A lot of the info that was there (assuming you entered it) was very helpful in getting me going because I never heard of the Whips or Blues. I'm still not good at getting fancy with wikipedia, but this page is something I wanted to work on, having lived in Scranton my entire life. Again, thanks for the kind words!--[[User:Redzone72|Redzone72]] ([[User talk:Redzone72|talk]]) 19:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

==Disambiguation link notification for June 27==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Halal]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Bismillah]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Halal|check to confirm]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Halal|fix with Dab solver]]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these [[User:DPL bot|opt-out instructions]]. Thanks, [[User:DPL bot|DPL bot]] ([[User talk:DPL bot|talk]]) 11:23, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

== Invite to Revive WikiProject:Shopping Centers! ==

Hey there, Brad! I'm Windyshadow32, a new member of the sadly inactive [[WP:SHOP|Wikiproject Shopping Centers]]. I am trying to revive this project to highlight the unique stories of malls across the country and the world especially as we lose more and more of them. Undoubtedly, we will lose shopping malls due to the challenges we face at this moment. Your account was listed as involved in the project, and I would like to know if you would like to help revive it! I can't take on this massive project without you! Please let me know if you'd be willing to help; I really appreciate it!

Okay–ooh. New <s>teeth</s> newsletter. That's weird... 

<big>'''Hello!'''</big>

:Welcome to the first regenerated issue of The Space-Time Telegraph, the official newsletter of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who|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 [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who/Newsletter/Mailing list|our mailing list]] that includes any active editors who previously had their usernames included in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who/Participants/Active participants|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.....

{{columns-start|num=2}}

<big>'''Big Spike in Productivity'''</big>
: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 [[User:OlifanofmrTennant|OlifanofmrTennant]], [[User:TheDoctorWho|TheDoctorWho]], and [[User:Pokelego999|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 (Doctor Who)|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 (Doctor Who episode)|The Star Beast]]" <small>(still salty about the move)</small> to GAN. It was reviewed by [[User:Bilorv|frequent collaborator]] <small>(fly high)</small> 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 (Doctor Who)|Wild Blue Yonder]]". WBY received help by [[User:JustAnotherCompanion|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 [[User:Rhain|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 [[Peter Capaldi filmography |filmography]] and newly created [[List of awards and nominations received by Peter Capaldi|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.
{{column}}

<big>'''Proposals to the WikiProject'''</big>
: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 (audio drama)|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.

You like Doctor Who? What's his name then?

<big>'''Welcome'''</big>

:Hello and welcome to the second issue of the new newsletter! Following the success of the first newsletter we are back to write more stuff.}}

{{columns-start|num=2}}

<big>'''Articles for deletion'''</big>
<br>Several articles have been nominated for deletion,  such as [[Time War (Doctor Who)]], and several articles have been deleted, or merged or redirected, especially those relating to books, due to lack of [[WP:SIGCOV]] and [[WP:NBOOK]]. Editors can always help either by participating in the deletion discussions (which are noted on the project page), adding to such articles, or bringing attention to other such articles through AfD or the WikiProject talk page, to aid in clean-up.

<big>'''Notice of Draft Articles'''</big>
<br>A new ''Doctor Who'' spin-off was announced at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, called ''[[The War Between the Land and the Sea]]'', and will feature old and new [[Whoniverse]] characters working for [[UNIT]] as they battle the [[Sea Devil (Doctor Who)|Sea Devils]]. The main space article currently redirects to Whoniverse, but collaboration is [[Draft:The War Between the Land and the Sea|currently underway in a draft article]]. As filming on this miniseries has recently begun, its relocation to the mains space will presumably take place soon per the recommendations laid out at [[WP:NTV]].

<br>There is also a [[Draft:Joy to the World (Doctor Who)|draft article in progress for the upcoming 2024 Christmas special]]. While this article won't be moved until the episode airs, any new contributions are welcome.

<big>'''Doctor Who News'''</big>
<br>A small number of editors have recently raised questions regarding the reliability of [https://www.doctorwhonews.net/ Doctor Who News]. This website is particularly used for information regarding viewing figures and the [[Appreciation Index]] of most episodes as well as some news information. If there is a better source for any information supported by this website, it should be replaced in good faith.

<br>A full consensus on whether or not to remove the information that can't be supported by a different source has not yet been reached. Any editor who has opinions on this matter should contribute to the discussion on the [[WT:WHO|WikiProject talk page]].

{{column}}

<big>'''Continued Progress Towards Good/Featured Content'''</big>
<br> There has been lots of progress made towards recognized articles in the last two months, related to such diverse categories as series, specials, lists and episodes A [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Doctor_Who/Goals|sub-page]] has also been added to the WikiProject, to list any possible goals we can aim towards.

<big>'''Proposals Regarding the State of Fictional Elements Articles in the WikiProject'''</big>
:Several proposals have been laid out regarding fictional elements in the WikiProject, which includes fictional characters, locations, and more. Due to a concerning quality state regarding the large majority of them, several methods of tackling them in order to improve these articles' quality for the future have been proposed. The primary three proposals are as follows:
:1. A priority list should be made to determine what articles are most pressing and in need of improvement in the WikiProject overall. Focus would be put onto important subjects and articles in a state of dubious notability that would make them viable for deletion processes such as AfD.
 
:2. A group of articles is selected for improvement, which are ones deemed most relevant to the WikiProject for the future. Any lesser important subjects can be sidelined and worked on as editors see fit. 

:3. A long term goal is made to improve all elements. This will come at the caveat of taking significantly longer and requiring more heavy participation than the above two proposals, but would guarantee a slow and steady way to solve the issue. 

:If any editors are interested in chiming into the conversation and sharing their piece on how this should be handled, or if any editors wish to help with this proposal and improve fictional elements articles, then feel free to share thoughts at the discussion's section on [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Doctor_Who#On_the_Subject_of_Fictional_Elements_in_this_WikiProject|the article's talk page]].
