Talk:Bill Potts

Infobox image

So I wanted to make the case for why the current image that we use for Bill (File:Bill_says_goodbye_to_Heather.jpg) is the best one that we have, or may ever have.

1. It's facing left, looking at the article.
2. It's rather bright, and it's easy to make out Bill's face.
3. The lighting is natural looking and not tinted a certain odd-way. Her face isn't red, or yellow and so on and so forth.
4. There's not a lot of distractions in the backdrop, indeed no one could interpret the focus to be on anything but her.
5. The image shows a lot of the curiosity that she exports as a character.
6. The moment is an important step in her character development. One could argue that this is where she decides that she wants to travel, eventually with the Doctor.
7. It's currently the most important story that she had been in as of yet for her development. Thus it is an illustration of her current most-important arc.

So I certainly vote for us to keep this one unless a better episode from a new image comes up. OS25 (Talk) 20:37, April 24, 2017 (UTC)

Better Image

I think this image would be way more better than the current one. Here are my reasons:

1. You can clearly recognize her and there are no back round distractions. 2. Looks very natural 3. It shows her character as happy and curious 4. It shows her waiting for the Doctor, which is the most important decision she makes because it leads to her travelling with him 5. It shows her as a normal person, not on an adventure

So, I think this is the best image. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Quicksilver999 (talk • contribs) .

I'd have to disagree, it is darker than the current image and is looking away from the article. Plus, neutral expressions are usually better for images. Snivystorm ☎ 14:30, May 21, 2017 (UTC)

Better Image

I think this is a better image for Bill than the current one.

1. It's a better and more natural picture of Bill.

2. It shows her character as happy. And she is smiling.

3. It shows her in the TARDIS properly for the first time, about to go on her first adventure.

4. She's wearing the outfit she wears for her promotional photo shoot pictures for Series 10. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dominicpond (talk • contribs) .

This article needs a better and more natural image. The current one is just not good enough to be honest. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dominicpond (talk • contribs) .

Life as a glass person

Though the Doctor seems in denial about it, I don't think Glass-Bill's section should be called "Legacy"; there's a very sound philosophical argument that she was, for all intents and purposes, a resurrected Bill, albeit as a new species (namely a Glass Avatar), not just a legacy of a truly deceased Bill. Perhaps we might rename the section "As a Glass Avatar"? --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 18:23, May 30, 2018 (UTC)

Infobox image discussion

Now that Bill has left the series, I think it's time to have a discussion about the infobox image. From previous discussions, it appears that a number of users agree that the current image might not be the best. For me, the focus is just not tight enough and I'm sure there should be an abundance of other possible images from throughout series 10. Before adding images, please see Tardis:Guide to images which explains as to what constitutes a good image.

Below, I've added close-up images of Bill which are currently available on the wiki. Some of these are better than others, but I want to get an idea of the images we have available before voting which are best. Feel free to add further images below. 66 Seconds ☎ 10:43, October 14, 2018 (UTC)
