| Sigh...since go one else will bother to go here to file their complaint as according to the site policy, I will, because I respect the rules. The information is coincidental. Why is it up there? --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:blue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 22:05, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

| :To me, it seems just like continuity. There are some bits of continuity on pages that state ''person X did thing Y is similar to what they did in situation Z''. There is no need to remove it, it's not speculation, like you said it's coincidental - so what? - because it is coincidental, there's nothing wrong with adding it to the Behind the scenes section - it's worthy of one. Unless you want to remove all 'coincidental' information removed from this wiki, just like you want every single thing that could be speculation?

| ::Continuity is different; you're using a false analogy. Regardless, I don't see the point of saying "this guy did this, similar to how that guy did that." I don't see why you ''have'' to point out that two incidents or objects are similar, ''unless they are related''. If they ''are'' related, then you have a reason to point out the similarity. ''If they aren't related,'' then it's just coincidence and of no value ''whatsoever'' to the page or the wiki. I don't see why the specific info on this page should have been added in the first place. There's nothing wrong with taking it off the BTS section, because it never belonged there anyway. --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:blue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 22:18, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

| ::''It is not noteworthy!'' Just because the two are similar does not make it noteworthy! What makes it noteworthy is if the similarity is because of a relationship between the two! Did you even read what I said? "I don't see why you ''have'' to point out that two incidents or objects are similar, ''unless they are related''. If they ''are'' related, then you have a reason to point out the similarity. ''If they aren't related,'' then it's just coincidence and of no value ''whatsoever'' to the page or the wiki." --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:blue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 22:25, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

| :::If there were similar, they would go under the heading ''See also''. [[User:Mini-mitch|Mini-mitch]]\[[User talk:Mini-mitch|talk]] 22:29, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| ::''And they aren't similar, which is my point!'' If they ''were'' similar, then you would have a reason to mention it. ''However'', since there is ''no'' connection between the two ships, why are you pointing it out? What is it about an unrelated similarity that makes you want to mention it, when there is no advantange or practical point for the page? --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:blue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 22:37, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

| ::Actually BoldClone... Your arguement was that they're not ''related''... But I do see where you both are coming from. You're pretty much saying that since it was not ''addressed in the show'' and/or ''confidential/behind th scenes''... It shouldn't be put on the wiki or atleast the page... But in mini-mitch's case.... He's just pointing out something ''similar''... And I do agree with those of you in the wiki that think the Jagaroth ship and the Aickman road ship look similar... They do! And I do believe that what mini-mich was saying was right... There are many articles on the wiki that do have parts that say somethig along the lines of "So-and-so did this in this episode kinda like how 'Bob' did in another episode..." or "X looks a lot like Y from the episode: " But don't fight over this... How about we just hold a vote or something? People could decide if they want to have that up on the page or not....? Just an idea? [[User:TheTARDIScontroller|TheTARDIScontroller]] 01:17, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

| ::Correct; in my last reply, I should have said "they aren't related," instead of "they aren't similar." They ''are'' similar, I just don't believe that the similarity is worth noting. --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:blue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 02:21, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

| |
| ::But why isn't it worth noting though... If you look at other pages, they have a "See Also" page or something like that. Why not just put a "similar to" header or something like that on the page? [[User:TheTARDIScontroller|TheTARDIScontroller]] 04:12, February 6, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| ::...because it is completely irrelevant and worthless to have on the article? Seriously, the similarity is unrelated, and if it doesn't deserve a mention on the BTS section, then it shouldn't need to have an entire section for it. --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:blue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 04:24, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

| ::Well I just actually found some proof of the point that it should be put on. In the page for the Adventure game "TARDIS", on the references section... it said the following (or something very close to it) "The Entity said "I must feed" this is similar to what an Ood said in The Impossible Planet"... See, similar! [[User:TheTARDIScontroller|TheTARDIScontroller]] 04:47, February 6, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| ::...no. That does not prove anything. The only thing it does is show that other pages have the same problem. ''Just becuase two things are similar does not mean that the similarity is important. What you cited does not refute me.'' --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:blue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 19:40, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

| ==What the fuss is about==
| |
| When I encounterd this page, the above users were talking about a certain line that was in the behind the scenes section. After some digging in the history, I discovered the line was:
| |
| :*Some fans have noticed that Number 79B, Aickman Road has a similar external appearance to the [[Jagaroth ship]] from [[DW]]: ''[[City of Death]]''.
| |
| '''Please do not place this line back in the text until the matter is resolved here.''' {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}
| |
| | |
| ===This line should go back in the article===
| |
| #--[[User:Mini-mitch|Mini-mitch]]\[[User talk:Mini-mitch|talk]] 22:39, February 4, 2011 (UTC) - It's noteworthy, but I'll with go with the decision of the wiki. But please don't let this turn out to be another Howling Halls and don't start a 'Coincidental information policy' either.
| |
| | |
| ===This line should '''not''' go back in the article===
| |
| #{{user:CzechOut/Sig}}. It's really mere coincidence. ''So what'' if the shape is similar. Now, if you can find a behind-the-scenes person remarking on its similarity to the Jagaroth ship, fine, that's relevant. But for an editor to comment on its similarity is a rather weak reason to include it in a BTS note.

| #It's similar, but not related. The information is ''not'' noteworthy, and there was no real practical ''or'' beneficial reason to have even put it in the article in the first place. --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:blue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 22:38, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

| #It not even true. Just because it has legs doesn't mean its automatically the consensus that it has the same design.--[[User:Skittles the hog|Skittles the hog]]--<small>[[User talk:Skittles the hog|Talk]]</small> 22:48, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
