Hi, David. Welcome to Wikipedia. (I'm going to assume that you are David, the author of Sanctuary, etc., rather than a fanboy pulling a rather obscure and pointless prank, just because maintaining that much skepticism is exhausting.)
You are, of course, as welcome to edit here as anybody else, on pretty much any subject. However, you should probably be made aware that Wikipedia has a guideline about editing articles about yourself. The most relevant bit is this part.
The additions you recently made to David A. McIntee aren't really problematic, but in future it'd probably be best if you noted any corrections or updates that the David A. McIntee article needs on its talk page rather than editing the page itself. There are a lot of Doctor Who fans on Wikipedia, and one of us will doubtless be along shortly to make the necessary adjustments. (This guideline is just a formality to preserve the neutral point of view that Wikipedia aspires towards.)
On a purely fannish level, whatever happened to the plan for a Guy de Carnac novel? Is that one of the projects you've got scheduled for release this year?
Thanks for your time, and again, welcome to Wikipedia. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 22:08, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, it is me- I stumbled across this entry and decided to sign up and clarify a couple of bits.
OK, you said "However, you should probably be made aware that Wikipedia has a guideline about editing articles about yourself. The most relevant bit is this part." Looked at the link, Gotcha. I'm updating my own site right now, so basically any future contributors should be able to get stuff from there, or I'm not hard to find around the web, on OG etc.
"On a purely fannish level, whatever happened to the plan for a Guy de Carnac novel? Is that one of the projects you've got scheduled for release this year?"
Yes, it is. Actually it's a trilogy, but probably only the first part will be out this year.

Yikes, every time I tried to edit that last comment to put the signature in, it makes me log out and back in again - I'm running Firefox with wiki cookies approved on the whitelist, but still... Arg, it's doing it for this new comment as well- I hit "save page" and get "Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in." That *is* annoying. (and probably enough to keep me from bothering...) And I haven't even had breakfast yet.

- Yeah, that can happen with an annoying frequency. Not all the time, just often enough to be a pain in the neck. One of the down sides of one of the most popular sites on the Internet having a nearly all-volunteer staff. :( —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 13:49, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Somebody might want to change "Represented by Redhammer" to "Represented by Peter Cox" as Peter and his business partner are dissolving the company and taking their clients their separate ways. I sure can pick 'em.

[edit] Hoax Entries?
if you check the radio times, you'll find Gareth is listed in the credits, as for Rochelle Gadd, the BBC themselves told me that she would be appearing in it as that character. I don't post hoaxes. James Random>< Save your breath
And if you'll check this thread on Outpost Gallifrey you'll see the guy who made it up confess: http://www.gallifreyone.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=87653. There's another thread (the big "Daleks are coming" one) where someone also confesses to taking that acknowledged hoax and putting it on Wiki.Lonemagpie 14:03, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Details
As we have you here perhaps you could fill in some biographical details to help flesh out your entry (place and date of birth are generally required although other things like education, influences, etc. are also handy) and perhaps provide a picture (as Wikipedia likes to have the entries illustrated). On a sidenote Beautiful Monsters has come in very handy for providing references for the various Alien and Predator entries :) (Emperor 13:39, 19 January 2007 (UTC))

OK, born in Stirling, December 31st 1968. Education- East Plean Primary, Bannockburn High, Falkirk College of Technology (which I think has subsequently had its name changed and become one of these new minor-university things). Married, with four cats.
As for a picture, um, try here: http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g1/Lonemagpie/meBF.jpg
And I'm always around on LiveJournal or Outpost Gallifrey, so don't be afraid to ask "what happened to this project" or "what's with that" or whatever. I don't bite.
