Disambiguation link notification for October 20
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Rings of Akhaten, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Time War (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Bugging you about FAN stuff again...
Anyway you could drop by either "Home" or "The Unnatural" and drop comments or a vote? :) Thanks!-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   21:33, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I've seen both so I'll try to make time. They look improved from when I last saw them at any rate. Good luck! Glimmer721  talk 22:38, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks! No rush, I just don't want 'em to close because of lack of comments/votes.-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   22:39, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah. So what else have you been working on? Glimmer721  talk 23:18, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I've been kind of busy with school these last few months, but I've been sporadically working on various X-Files and The Office episodes. Also articles that deal with Adventure Time. You still chugging along with Doctor Who?-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   00:35, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah too bad the GAN page has been pretty slow. And yep; I'm sort of stalled on series 6 because of the big article and the mini-episodes, and I stopped on series 7 because it was a bit too recent (though I have a recent interview that should finish off two of them), so I've been working on the earlier ones, starting with adding reception to the classic series. I've been using DVDs for the classic series (great special features, it just takes forever) and series 1. Occasionally I will have enough information for a series 2-4 episode. There's really a ton of information, but there's almost too much to be easily manageable (plus, a lot of it is out of print or unavailable). Glimmer721  talk 01:08, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm sure you also heard about how they found a bunch of the "lost" episodes, right?-- Gen. Quon   (Talk)   17:02, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep, and it will be interesting to see how those stories are reassessed (since Web of Fear was thought to be a classic and no one thought much of Enemy of the World, though it seems to be getting positive reception so far). I've actually bought Enemy on iTunes for fun but I haven't had much time to watch it all. And I'll try to get to "Home" this week, though I'm not sure I'll be able to do it all in one shot. Glimmer721  talk 00:12, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I bought the audio CD of The Enemy of the World (ISBN 0-563-53503-2) about six years ago; and the thing that I like least is the use of stock music instead of Dudley Simpson. -- Red rose64 (talk) 00:21, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah the music did strike me as interesting from Episode 1 (all I've seen so far). Glimmer721  talk 00:30, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Re: Doctor Who article
Original Message:

Hi, in response to my comment at Talk:Doctor Who/GA2, I've made a rough outline at User:Glimmer721/sandbox/Doctor Who outline. I'd really like to help although I may not have all the sources (books are extremely valuable in this case as are DVDs which I do have a few of) but we could start and then bring attention to the rest of the project. Doing one section and starting with the easier ones at a time would be a good way to start. What do you think? Glimmer721 talk 17:34, 27 October 2013 (UTC)


 * That is a great idea having a rough outline, I would really appreciate your help. I also do not have every book/DVD, I have added a few reference over the last few days most of them I found on the BBC Classic Doctor Who Site. I will post your message and my message on Wikiproject Doctor Who Talk page and then we can see how many other people would like to help. Thanks Kelvin 101 (talk) 18:09, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
