Doctor Who (series 8)

This series (being made in 2014) of Doctor Who is being made on video and not on film. There is a distinction. For a series that has so far employed both methods extensively, it is important to make that distinction. For someone to report that "Filming has begun on the new series" is simply inaccurate.

Worse than that, to revert an edit that corrects this to "Recording" is nonsensical, especially when done with some such justification as "oh well it's a euphemism for recording". No it isn't. It's at best what lazy or uninformed people use to refer to the process when they either don't know the difference or don't think the distinction is important. Even if an edit changing "filming" to "recording" is seen as nit-picky or pedantic, to change it back is just increasing the inaccuracy for no benefit. Please desist.

Explaining

Original question can be found here.

I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 01:47, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

List of Doctor Who universe creatures and aliens (Q–Z)

Hi the reason for the redirection was so that when on these articles
Warriors of Kudlak
The White Wolf
Wraith World
clicking Uvodni would bring you to the right section, if the reader is not familiar with this creature then this would surely help. Thanks Kelvin 101 (talk) 22:29, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Kamie Jimmie King Biography

I declined the speedy deletion of this article because it wasn't obviously a hoax to me. (I also moved the article to the more appropriate title Kamie Jimmie King.) It's possible that the subject (who is apparently also the author) is a notable media personality in his home country. It is also possible that he is a non-notable media personality there. If you believe the article merits deletion, I recommend taking it to WP:AFD instead. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:07, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Q3/Q4 & "Northern Autumn"

Hi, I saw your edit commentary for List of Doctor Who serials, dated March 5th, 2014. Q3 and Q4 stand for the third and fourth quarter of the year. "Norther autumn" stands for the months of autumn in the northern hemisphere (September - November), indicating the difference with the "southern autumn" (March - May). So it was not vandalism. :) Bubbly (talk) 01:39, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

About User talk:Citytechcommunications

Hi, I noticed that you restored a warning on Citytechcommunications' talk page, with an admonishment that they shouldn't blank their own talk page. That isn't really necessary, as talk page guidelines say that users are allowed to remove warnings from their talk pages, since the warnings are still visible in the page history. Removing a warning is proof that the user has read it, which is all we really require of a warned user. Novusuna 22:43, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
