Hi, Missing Hour. You're right — Wikimarruttman recreated Doctor Who Online twice, once after I had warned him. I've protected the page now with the deletedpage template, so he won't be able to do it again. "Cruft" in this context is an abbreviation of "fancruft", a Wikipedia jargon term for fannish subjects of little interest to non-fans. There's a pretty decent explanation at Fancruft.

Thanks for alerting me to the re-creation. We should probably keep an eye on Wikimarruttman to make sure he doesn't try to recreate the page under a slightly different title (such as Doctor Who online). If he does, I'll block him. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 21:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my userpage. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:13, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

New Zealand Doctor Who Fan Club
Hi - you wrote: It clearly breaks the CSDa7 guidance in that it is about a fan club for a UK television series and the article has no external sources to backup its notability claim. There is no such detail to A7 - nothing that mentions UK telvision shows and nothing saying that notability must be corroborated before speedying. A7, to quote WP:CSD, is for an article about a person, group, company, or website that does not assert the importance of the subject. If there is any assertion of notability, corroborated by external sources or not - it goes through AfD, not spedying. There is a strong claim of notability for this club within Doctor Who circles - it was responsible for tracking down three lost early episodes of Doctor Who (very few, if any, other clubs can claim the recovery of even one episode). Grutness...wha?  23:59, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for the reply. I'd suggest that this is an article about a "group" in the A7 sense as it is a "fan club". Also, the recovery of two episodes makes up a single sentence in an otherwise unremarkable article, therefore shouldn't it be merged with Doctor Who fandom and, more importantly, given sources (newspaper references or DWM articles)? --The Missing Hour 07:25, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I get your point. I still think it would be better to go through a full afd for it, though. Actually, i thought I'd started a procedural one after restoring the page, but it seems I forgot :/. It definitely needs a thorough rewrite and sourcing, but it's probably still saveable. This was NZ's biggest science fiction club of any kind for quite some time. Grutness...wha?  11:43, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That's not a bad idea, though I don't have the information to do it myself... I'll drop a note to the Dr Who WikiProject, see what they can come up with. BTW - it seems that one anon has been adding speedy tags to all of New Zealand's science fiction-related groups - I've managed to catch two others. Luckily NZ's fan community is small enough that only a very small number of organisations would warrant an article. Grutness...wha?  23:54, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Shakespeare project collaboration
The Shakespeare Project has begun a collaboration to bring its main article, William Shakespeare, to FA status. If you wish to contribute, please review the to-do list on its talk page. Let's make this article an FA! Wrad 15:31, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Shakespeare Collaboration
The Shakespeare Wikiproject is starting another collaboration to bring Romeo and Juliet to GA status. Our last collaboration on William Shakespeare is still in progress, but in the copyedit stage. If you have strong copyedit skills, you may wish to continue the work on that article. Members with skills in other areas are now moving on. Improving Romeo and Juliet article will set a standard for all other Shakespeare plays, so we look forward to seeing everyone there. Thanks for all your help with the project.

Shakespeare project - New collaboration debate
The Shakespeare project's first collaboration has ended in success, with William Shakespeare reaching FA status! Congrats to all who chipped in! We also had success in our second collaboration Romeo and Juliet, which is now a GA. Our next step is deciding which article to collaborate on next. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Shakespeare to help us choose. Thanks. Wrad 04:07, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
