Hello fellow Wikipedians, My name is androzaniamy (User:Androzaniamy) and this is my talkpage. This is not a place for vandalism so please do not use this as a place for vandals who have nothing better to do than ruin this website to waste their time. If I write something on your talkpage then please reply on your talkpage and inform me on mine that you have replied if I do not reply within a week's time. If you write something on my talkpage which is not vandalism then I will reply within a week's time. Also please take it in mind that this is a talk page and not a general argument page.

Doctor Who question for you. "Resistance is futile"

Didn't the Daleks invent the phrase ""Resistance is futile", long before the borg on Star Trek did? Any idea what episode they first said that is in? I'm looking at List of catchphrases and was thinking Daleks had it first. Dream Focus 21:52, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Being a huge doctor who fan, and rarely getting to show off my knowledge, I don't think daleks ever said "resistance is futile" (though I think one may have said "it is futile to resist"). Having said that... I'm pretty sure the Master said it... I remember chuckling when I saw it. Hopefully Amy will be able to confirm. Worm · (talk) 23:07, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Never mind. I found a site with transcripts from all the old episodes. Two episodes have it, the Master saying it once, and then some minor one time character called Officer not even important enough to have a name. The cybermen on the new series do say "you will be assimilated", but I don't find any mention of them doing it in the old series before Star Trek came about. Dream Focus 02:14, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

The Daleks did say "it is futile to resist" in the Deadly Assasin but not resistance is futile. I don't remeber the Master ever saying it though. I don't watch Star Trek so I don't know if they said it or not, hope that helped. Androzaniamy (talk) 12:11, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Revelation of the Daleks is where that hapened. DALEK: You must surrender. The Earth woman must come with us. It is futile to resist. The Deadly Assassin was MASTER: A stupid remark, Doctor. Resistance is futile now. I found OFFICER: Please, Doctor, resistance is futile. We mean her no harm. Eight different episodes had "Resistance is useless". Anyway, no big deal.

So which show had that phrase first? Androzaniamy (talk) 12:24, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Star Trek's Borg had it as their catch phrase first. Doctor Who apparently just had it said a few times in different ways, but not regularly. Dream Focus 12:29, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Talkback

Note

FWIW, in response to this comment, I didn't consider your response on the adoption page overly rude and am not at all angry about it; I'm perfectly fine with your request to wait for WTT to answer your questions and will not post on the adopt page again. Nobody Ent 02:21, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I just hope Cyberpower agrees. Androzaniamy (talk) 18:21, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

I made that comment, I've removed it now. Apologies to Nobody Ent and Cyberpower. @Androzaniamy- I made that comment primarily because it saddens me when people try to help and are basically turned away in a not-so-polite manner. I can understand how you might not have meant to come over so abruptly. I'll cease my involvement here. Regards SD5 04:06, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

I've never heared of you and you've still been on my adoption page. How many people are the same? Androzaniamy (talk) 18:21, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

It shouldn't concern you whether you've "heard of me" or not. I made a comment and then removed it. That's the point- anyone can comment anywhere. As I looked at my comment and saw that it could be seen as overly critical I took the decision to remove it. Have a nice day. SD5 20:25, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Just to expand on this: I didn't mean for my comment to be offensive, sometimes my style of writing comes across as nastier than it is meant to. All I meant was that you could have told them to go away in a less confrontational way ;) Ty SD5 21:29, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

So does mine. I know this has nothing to do with it but how did you find me, Misplaced Pages is a big place so the chances of you just happening to find my classroom are quite small? Androzaniamy (talk) 16:01, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

I saw this question and I though I'd answer for you. Many users found you because you are taking an adoption program with User:Worm That Turned. His talk page has 120 watchers. People do this because A)they gain valuable information and guidance by seeing questions answered on his page and B)they can assist Worm in answering the many questions he receives.

When I ask someone a question I mean it for them, not for random busybodies to answer. I don't want any talk page stalkers. Androzaniamy (talk) 17:55, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, Amy, but talk page stalkers and "random busybodies" are all a part of the great collaborative project which is Misplaced Pages. It's the way it is. Your adoption talk page (I was going to link to it, but decided to be discreet, though it's not secret) is different and although there's nothing to stop outsiders from watching it, we should note Worm's comment: "This page is designed to allow relatively private conversations between Androzaniamy and her adopter. I would like anyone who ever does end up here to take that into account, it is not meant as a public comment.". In fact, I note with pleasure that no-one apart from you and Worm has made any comments there, which is as it should be. Please ease off on the hostility towards helpful editors (aka "random busybodies"!) PamD 21:59, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

• Whenever you see a post you don't like, you erase it, and in the edit summary ask the person not to post on your talk page again. Only way to avoid those overly critical of you, and the people that drag out conversations every chance they get. Dream Focus 22:15, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Your article has been moved to AfC space

Hi! I would like to inform you that the Articles for Creation submission which was previously located here: User:Androzaniamy/Tracy Beaker (character) has been moved to Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Tracy Beaker (character), this move was made automatically and doesn't affect your article. Your draft is waiting for a review by an experienced editor, if you have any questions please ask on our Help Desk! Have a nice day. ArticlesForCreationBot (talk) 17:59, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Tracy Beaker

The writer of the series has an official page listing information about the character. I added a link to the external links section on the article. I notice that a lot of your article was deleted as "original research" the day it went out there. You can add things in and reference them to the official character profile or the one on the BBC site if you want. I just sorted through the Google news archive results and found some things to quote from to prove the article is notable, as I often do in the article rescue squadron. If someone ever tries to delete an article you believe should be saved, just post a link there, and help is on the way. Dream Focus 23:42, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
