Although I understand that Tardis doesn't usually go for the "last appearance" when it comes to choosing the main picture, I still believe we should have the older Elizabeth (as seen in ''[[The Shakespeare Code (TV story)|The Shakespeare Code]]'') in the infobox.

:I can see the rationale for having her eldest appearance as her infobox image given that she's been played by three different actresses in three different on screen appearances. However, I would also say that of the three appearances, ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'' is her main appearance: ''The Chase'' and ''The Shakespeare Code'' are just cameos, where as TDOTD has her appear as a main role, so Joanna Page definitely plays the character far more than Vivienne Bennett or Angela Pleasence.

The Virgin Queen

- Finally at 903 years old, at least now the doctor doesn't have to be totally ashamed
Non-DW Universe stuff
Noticed that this article had a certain creep of real life information in it. Please remember that, no matter how famous a person, we must adhere strictly to what is known about the character from valid resources. Thus, we can't give the dates of her reign, because a DW story has never told us those dates. I removed "Tudor" from the article, because I don't believe that's ever been given in universe — or if it has, the article didn't give a source for it. I'm still not sure about all those alternate names, but I mostly left them alone; it's possible they were in print or in DW Unbound. The only ones I know of as definitely used in-universe are Good Queen Bess and, by implication, The Virgin Queen. Even Queen Elizabeth I of England is a bit dubious to me.

Choice of main picture
Although I understand that Tardis doesn't usually go for the "last appearance" when it comes to choosing the main picture, I still believe we should have the older Elizabeth (as seen in The Shakespeare Code) in the infobox. As was discussed on Jo Grant's talk page, it seems we usually choose images that are representative of a character's main appearances. But Elizabeth has only been depicted thrice in the show, and each of those appearances was at a different stage of her life, which means she has no "main" appearance. For that reason, I think it's sensible to go for her "latest" physical appearance. --Lelal Mekha (Parlour) 20:25, September 30, 2014 (UTC)
- I can see the rationale for having her eldest appearance as her infobox image given that she's been played by three different actresses in three different on screen appearances. However, I would also say that of the three appearances, The Day of the Doctor is her main appearance: The Chase and The Shakespeare Code are just cameos, where as TDOTD has her appear as a main role, so Joanna Page definitely plays the character far more than Vivienne Bennett or Angela Pleasence.
