[edit] Your user page

Hello, Clockworkrobot. It looks like you have a fine article on your user page. You should move it into article space, so it's a real encyclopedia article instead of your user page. This will allow others to find the article more easily, and it can be linked from other articles. Also it is against Wikipedia policy to have copyrighted images under a fair-use claim on your user page, so all the images you're using should be used in a real article or not at all. If you need help or have any questions, just let me know. You can type a response here, or you can add a note to my talk page. —Bkell (talk) 11:56, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Bkell,
i'd like to know how to move a userpage to an article space.
From User:Clockworkrobot. Please see my Usertalk:Clockworkrobot
I don't know anything at all about Doctor Who, so you're going to have to be patient with me. The article you've written at User:Clockworkrobot seems to be a list of Doctor Who episodes. What do these episodes have in common? Are they all from a particular season or incarnation of the Doctor?
You should move this article to a more descriptive name by using the "move" tab at the top of the page. Instead of being called "User:Clockworkrobot", it should be called "List of Doctor Who episodes from the tenth season" or whatever is appropriate. (I think you can move a page from user space to article space like this with no problems; if you have difficulty, let me know.)
I assume that you are also User:Clockwork Robot. This page seems to be the same as User:Clockworkrobot. If the two pages are different somehow, then you will want to merge the information from both pages into the renamed article, so that there is only one article about this topic.
Let me know if you need some help or if you have any more questions. —Bkell (talk) 15:15, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Clockworkrobot again,
You're right, I am Clockwork Robot as well. However I changed to Clockworkrobot after I sadly lost my password. However I managed to still keep the page by copying it but obviously updating it for later episodes.
The page is on the aliens and enemies from the 2006 series of Doctor Who. I can put on the 2005 series monsters as well. Doctor Who was revived in 2005 and now, in 2006, is on New Series 2 which the user page is based around.
Also I have done an article like this but was deleted. However I will try. One more point Bkell; I was thinking of an article name. So follow this link below to the page:
Doctor Who 2006 Monsters
NOTE: This page has not been created yet.
When completed please tell me what you think and if I need to change anything.
Your friend,
User:Clockworkrobot
You know, any user can edit any page on Wikipedia, so you could have continued to edit User:Clockwork Robot even when you were logged in as Clockworkrobot. But it doesn't really matter now. —Bkell (talk) 16:58, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I suggested using the "move" tab at the top because it will preserve the page history. Simply copying and pasting everything means you lose the entire history of the edits made to the page. Of course, the move will fail if the destination page already exists; in that case you should go to Wikipedia:Requested moves. —Bkell (talk) 17:02, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use

It is not permitted to use fairuse images on user pages: see Wikipedia:Fair use. Tim! 16:04, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Doctor Who monsters and aliens

Hello again, Clockworkrobot. I think the reason that Doctor Who 2006 Monsters was redirected is that there is already an article about the monsters and aliens of Doctor Who, called List of Doctor Who monsters and aliens. If the existing article doesn't include the information that you've written, then you should incorporate that information into the existing article, not create an entirely new one. Try editing List of Doctor Who monsters and aliens to add the information that you've written. —Bkell (talk) 20:58, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

I see that Tim! has also deleted the images from the article you've written, because fair-use images are not allowed on user pages (see also Wikipedia:Removal of fair use images). This must be frustrating, after the work you've put into writing this. But he's right, and this is why you need to move what you've written into a real article as soon as possible, because articles can include fair-use images. —Bkell (talk) 21:02, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
I understand about fair-use images now and I apoligise for any problems. Also I tried to move my information to the list of monsters but it was soon deleted and when I tried to edit I had been blocked. However it soon went off and I can now edit pages (I think it was because they thought I was impostering because of Clockwork Robot/clockworkrobot). However I would like to know who I can talk to about getting my information across.
Thanks again for the information.
You should discuss your point of view on the talk page of the article. You can also bring your concerns to Wikipedia:WikiProject Doctor Who, which is a group of Wikipedians who are interested in articles related to Doctor Who. —Bkell (talk) 07:02, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
