RichardWho has been a friendly place for Doctor Who collectors since 2000. These guidelines keep it that way.
Be honest
- Say what an item really is. Screen-used, production-made, replica, fan-made and merchandise are all welcome, as long as they’re labelled correctly.
- Back up provenance claims with evidence where you can: paperwork, auction records, a certificate, a screen match.
- If you’re not sure, say so. “Believed to be” is fine.
Be kind
- Everyone started somewhere. Help newer collectors rather than mocking them.
- Disagree about an item politely and with evidence. If you think something is wrongly described, use the “Submit information” button on the prop and our team will look into it.
- No abuse, harassment, threats, discrimination or personal attacks.
Respect privacy
- Don’t post other people’s personal details, addresses or private messages.
- Use RichardWho’s messages and offers rather than trying to get round them. They protect both sides.
Photos
- Post your own photos, or ones you have permission to use.
- Credit where it’s due, especially for screen-grabs used in screen-matching.
Buying and selling
- Only offer things you own and have the right to sell.
- Be clear about condition and any repairs or restoration.
- Report anything that looks like a scam to us straight away.
