Hello and Welcome! I hope you like the place. --mav
Hi! Did you read Talk:List of notable eccentrics before adding those two Nazis? What is your opinion on where to draw the line? --KF 00:30 Feb 9, 2003 (UTC)
- I did not read the talk. But I think that one of the things most notable about members of the Nazi Party was either they were very strange or very bland. You could compare and contrast Hermann Göring's bathing in an admiral's uniform with the "banal evil" of nine-to-five genocidal office clerk Adolf Eichmann.
- Eccentricity might be very inclusive. I'm not sure if a line can be drawn that will satisify everyone. -- Chris Horrocks 9 February 2003 14:46 (UTC)
Hi there. There's no need to prefix Dr Who page titles. There is no other "Skaro", or "hand of omega", so these articles are fine at those titles. Obciously the articles must make clear in their opening paragraph that they are abnout something fictional, connected with the tv show. I've moved them back. On the matter of pages for each doctor, I'm not sure, but I'm not keen on the "Doctor Who:First doctor" format. I'll ponder that one... -- Tarquin 21:09 Feb 10, 2003 (UTC)
- I was particularly concerned by Skaro because I turned up references to it as a proper person and place name in Serb and Swedish. -- Chris Horrocks 22:11 Feb 10, 2003 (UTC)
- Ah. I stand corrected :-) In that case, we use disambiguation, so the title would be "Skaro (Doctor Who)". But we don't need to worry about it until those other Skaros show up. -- Tarquin 23:38 Feb 10, 2003 (UTC)
- Okay, then. Thanks for the help! -- Chris Horrocks 11 February 2003 01:22 (UTC)
An additional note: I can't find a reference, but the naming convention for sub-topics appears to be with a slash rather than with a colon, i.e. "Doctor Who/The First Doctor", not "Doctor Who: The First Doctor". Using the colon seems to invoke namespaces, which is something to avoid unless you really know what you're doing. --Paul A 06:53 Feb 11, 2003 (UTC)
- Just to complicate things further.... slashed "subpages" were phased out a long time ago, it's just we have some old ones still kicking around. - Tarquin
- Eep. -- Chris Horrocks 11 February 2003 12:45 (UTC)
- Nope, the colon is OK, it won't invoke any namespace unless there is one with that name. The slash is generally regarded as ugly. And we do allow subpages on user pages, example: /Hello world!. --Eloquence 12:45 Feb 11, 2003 (UTC)
- Best thing is probably "First Doctor (Doctor Who)", because when writing it we can use the "pipe trick" to hide the part in parentheses. -- Tarquin 16:35 Feb 11, 2003 (UTC)
- What's a pipe trick? -- Chris Horrocks 11 February 2003 17:47 (UTC)
- Should be explained in the FAQ and the editing help page. -- Tarquin 19:02 Feb 11, 2003 (UTC) Wikipedia:Editing FAQ
- Got it. Thanks! -- Chris Horrocks 11 February 2003 23:43 (UTC)

Hi, I moved your Rakata page to Rakata (Star Wars); I'll leave it to you to change your user pages.
Happy New Year.
