Wikia links
[edit]Please restore all the Wikia links you removed from Doctor Who pages. WP:EL#AVOID does not in any way prevent link to other wiki sites, in fact, WP:ELYES #3 encourages it. No consensus has been reached at WT:WHO, so your actions are quite premature. — Edokter • Talk • 16:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm. While I may have erred on the side of boldness, I'm not sure "premature" is the word I'd use here. Wikipedia is not a links directory. The onus is on the people who wish to link to that Wikia to establish consensus to include before adding the link. I cannot, in all conscience, revert my removals on that basis –
I would, in effect, turn myself into the worst kind of spammer by doing so.Stricken the hyperbole, but you get the idea.
- And frankly, I don't see what the fuss is. Tardis.wikia simply isn't much cop. Wikipedia does it better. – The Parting Glass 16:47, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- I've restored them myself. We should not judge external wiki's on their 'fan-level' (some TARDIS Index File articles do have a lot more information that would not be allowed here); ohter wiki's are routinely linked to guide and steer the hardcore fans, where they can speculate and discuss all they want. — Edokter • Talk • 17:47, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- why not go one step further and remove links to all other wikias? Tardis index file is no better than others - Family Guy wiki, Star Wars wiki etc - all unreliable - all fan made etc. or are you just being annoying and making a WP:POINT? 129.215.149.98 (talk) 10:00, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
- Remove all links to other wikias? Well, if you're game, I am. Or could it be that you didn't check any time stamps before making this ill-advised comment? – The Parting Glass 20:38, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
