| == Paternoster Gang ==
| |
| Is the Paternoster Gang watch-along really part of this event? It had nothing to do with Emily Cook or the Lockdown! brand. It was organised solely by Big Finish. [[User:Xx-connor-xX|Xx-connor-xX]] [[User talk:Xx-connor-xX|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:52, May 5, 2020 (UTC)

| == Other Watchalongs ==
| |
| If we are to keep track of ALL tweetalong events during COVID-19 pandemics, I think these events should be added:
| |
| * ''[[Spyfall (TV story)|Spyfall]]'' watchalong hosted by [[BBC America]]. Although it didn't use hashtag, [[Sacha Dhawan]] joined the watchalong and tweeted his comments.
| |
| * Two [[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]] watchalongs hosted by [[Radio Times]].
| |
| * Upcoming [[The Three Doctors (TV story)|The Three Doctors]] watchalong hosted by TardisMonkey (who arranged [[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]] watchalong)
| |
| But is it really necessary? I mean, anyone can start a tweetalong event. If I arrange a tweetalong event, should it be covered by this article? I think we need some criteria for this article's coverage.--[[User:Wholmesian|Wholmesian]] [[User talk:Wholmesian|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 05:44, May 6, 2020 (UTC)

| :I removed the Paternoser Gang watch-along because frankly it has nothing to do with this event, but someone else added it to a newly created “other” section. I agree that a I don’t think these should be covered, anyone can host a watch-along but none of these are part of the same event.

| That does seem a bit of a shame to remove The Five Doctors and the Big Finish ones, I agree that not every watch-along should be posted, but maybe keep it to anything endorsed or organised by Emily Cook or the BBC? I think that's a fair way of doing it if the "other" section is reinstated.

| ::I think it's clear that any and all post-''Lockdown'', COVID-19-era ''Doctor Who'' tweetalongs are inspired by ''Lockdown!''.

| == Non-Lockdown stories ==
| |
| so weve established that non-lockdown watchalongs shouldnt be included. so why sould non-lockdown stories like 'how the monk got his habit'? [[User:DiSoRiEnTeD1|DiSoRiEnTeD1]] [[User talk:DiSoRiEnTeD1|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]]
| |
| :The issue is that the other watchalongs aren't part of any centralised event (or, in TARDIS Monkey's case, aren't in any way shape or form acknowledged by the BBC or other rightsholders). That obviously doesn't apply to something like ''[[Message from the Doctor (webcast)|Message from the Doctor]]''.
| |
| | |
| :Personally, I think they should remain included on this page, if they're covered on the Wiki, until such a time as we have a [[COVID-19]] page again. They might not be branded as ''Lockdown!'', but these "side-releases" are clearly revolving in the same noosphere, following the trail of the ball that Emily Cook got rolling. <small>Sorry for the tortured metaphor.</small> We ''should'' have a list of these somewhere, and this is as good a place as any.
| |
| | |
| :This is what the title of the section, "Associated releases" is supposed to convey. They're ''associated'' with ''Lockdown!'', so until we get a better idea, that's where we list them; but they're not necessarily ''part'' of ''Lockdown!''. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:51, May 17, 2020 (UTC)

| == Fear is a Superpower Comic ==
| |
| | |
| The LOCKDOWN! YouTube channel also release a narrated comic strip featuring the life of Danny Pink entitled ''Fear is a Superpower''. It's not exactly a webcast, I'm assuming it still goes under the story list?

| ==Vincent and the Doctor's Gallery==
| |
| | |
| Okay, we're straying into edit war territory here. Let's discuss the subject of this project that was posted on the Lockdown! youtube channel. It's a scene of [[Vincent and the Doctor (TV story)]], when Starry Night is being conceived, that leads into a series of fan art, and then the gallery scene with "pile of good things and bad things". Does this merit inclusion on this wiki and inclusion in this series? In my view, clearly not. This does not itself constitute a story, as there's a scene, a harsh cut to montage, and then a harsh cut to another scene, with thematic coherence but no narrative coherence. Even putting that aside, there's no new narrative material here, just reposting clips of an already existing episode, at best you should make a note on the episode page, and this wiki is not the place for fan art. And finally, not everything this youtube page does is noteworthy, as evidenced by other videos existing that aren't being talked about on this wiki. Let's discuss.

| ::So the issue here isn't "is this part of the event". Technically anyone tweeting while watching the episode is part of the event. It's a tweetalong. It's "is this part of the event and is this something the wiki should cover". I think the reasons I've given establish it's not. Not everything this youtube video posts is worthy of being covered, and this clearly isn't supposed to be taken to be in universe, unlike your example. So, funnily enough, this Wiki actually didn't appear in The Zygon Isolation. Rather, an N-Space version of it did. Which is sort of tangential to the main point, but still defuses it nicely. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:39, May 21, 2020 (UTC)
| |
| :::: Well, [[N-Space]] is just where Doctor Who takes place. And since this is where the Osgoods exist, sort of by definition they're in N-Space. This isn't speculation. It clearly can't be our wiki, as Doctor Who is not real in our world, but there is [[Doctor Who (N-Space)]], and associated fansites. As for why this story isn't taking place in N-Space, well, it's not a story, for one. For the second, we can check the "publisher summary". "A compilation of Vincent van Gogh-inspired Doctor Who fan artwork along with inspirational quotes from the series which have helped fans through tough times." It's very clearly just supposed to be a compilation within a certain framing device using the episode, not an actual story set within N-Space.[[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:56, May 21, 2020 (UTC)

| :: I agree that this isn't a story, or at the very least not a valid story. However, I see no reason not to have a page about it as a "(documentary)". ''[[Devious]]'' is a good precedent for a licensed DW documentary serving to showcase bits of something that started out as a fanwork. It doesn't mean very much that the Wiki doesn't have pages on a lot of YouTube documentaries — it also [[Tardis:List of unwritten BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures characters|lacks a lot of pages about EDA characters]]. The fact that Wiki editors are only human doesn't mean the pages ''shouldn't'', in the abstract, exist.
| |
| | |
| :: Ergo, I think we can cover ''[[Vincent and the Doctor's Gallery (webcast)|Vincent and the Doctor's Gallery]]'' the way we cover a lot of episodes of ''[[The Fan Show]]'': as a documentary with some invalid in-universe bits that are impossible to separate fully from the documentariness. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 09:47, May 22, 2020 (UTC)

| | |
| ::: Seconded. [[User:Danochy|Danochy]] [[User talk:Danochy|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 12:25, May 22, 2020 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| :::: So we all agree it's not a story within the DWU. The issue is that I don't think it's a story without the DWU either, which it would usually need to be to be a documentary. There's simply no narrative to the thing. It's a compilation of fan art. There's no discussion of how the the fan art is impacting people, or how people are making the fan art, these things are taken as ontological primitives and there's a montage of fan art. It can't be a documentary in the traditional sense. It's something else. What else that thing is is up for debate. <br>
| |
| :::: As for your example of ''[[Devious]]'', I don't think the two are comparable. The one was on a BBC release, so while it wasn't produced with a license, it certainly was distributed as if it had one (though not intended to be in the DWU). But we know that the Lockdown as a whole does not have a license. This is something that's come up multiple times in our discussions in [[Thread:273268]]. The things that are debatable are "new Official Doctor Who stories", and what those are and whether those are licensed. This is quite clearly not one of those. So I think it just blatantly runs afoul of [[T:NO FANVID]], especially considering the definition of fanvid given in the sidebar there. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:13, May 22, 2020 (UTC)
| |
| ::::: But… if it's not a story at all, but rather a documentary, then it wouldn't ''need'' a license, would it? The portion of [[T:VS]] that's concerned with things having commercial licenses is for what counts as a ''valid story''. But for documentary features, all that's required is that the source be reliable. I think a DWM editor like [[Emily Cook]] is a reliable source for REF information, and that's what matters.
| |
| | |
| ::::: (This Wiki's understanding of "documentary", unless I'm very wrong, is "video or audio product that tells about ''DW'' in the real world rather than being a purveyor of fiction". ''Vincnt and the Doctor's Gallery'' very much is ''that'' if nothing else.) --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:38, May 22, 2020 (UTC)
| |
| | |
| My point on the license issue is more to show that the two aren't comparable. Not to argue that it's not a documentary. The argument for why it's not a documentary is the prior paragraph, which I think still stands. This doesn't ''tell'' us anything about Doctor Who. It isn't intended to ''tell'' us about Doctor Who. It's intended to be a collection of fan art and inspirational quotes that have helped people through these tough times. It's intended to be part of Lockdown's overall goal, which is more community and keeping people in high spirits. But it's not telling us anything about Doctor Who or anything about Doctor Who Fan Culture except listing off a set of ontological primitives. Which just isn't sufficient for a documentary. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:44, May 22, 2020 (UTC)
| |
| : Well, it's showcasing a bunch of real-world ''Doctor Who''-related objects (namely, the pieces of fanart). If standalone releases of VFX tests, without any additional commentary, count as documentaries, then I think so should this. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:46, May 22, 2020 (UTC)

| ::If it's an individual VFX test, or a compilation of a single or similar VFX tests, that actually has narrative continuity, funnily enough. If it's just a bunch of random VFX effects thrown together, I'd agree, that would be precedent, as that's just a bunch of ontological primitives thrown together with no relation, exactly the same situation as we have here. I'd prefer to call that not a documentary and invent a new term, and perhaps then argue whether this should be covered under that new term. But by [[T:BOUND]] it would be precedent, that's just my preference. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:52, May 22, 2020 (UTC)

| :::Well, [[User:OncomingStorm12th]] changed ''[[Heaven Sent Previsualizations]]''’s dab term from my "(webcast)" to "(documentary)".

| |
| :::: No, I don't think this qualifies. These are both shots mocked up in CGI, actual scenes, described, and they're united by the description of being previsualizations of a single episode. What I imagined you talking about was, say, someone compiling different VFX effects from S3 into a single documentary, and showing how they did Lazarus before immediately showing a mockup of the Master's regeneration. That would be the level of discontinuity that's analogous. (I apologize for the miscommunication, in my mind VFX test = you're testing the visual effects, not creating a CGI mockup of a scene that will be created later with some CGI and some live action.)

| | |
| The "actual scenes" clause there is rather relevant. But this also just isn't true. There are two pieces of artwork that are generic TARDISes. Perhaps they'd be more relevant from afar? But from what we can see they've got no connection to the framing device. (Also if I want to be really pedantic, some of their connection to the episode is just the style of art, "The Pandorica Opens" is featured, and that belongs to a latter episode. As in, Vincent Van Gogh outright shows up in a latter episode with the picture, so it's just out of place here. But I don't think I need to be that specific.)

| == Name change proposal, and dates ==
| |
| Just wanted to drop a message here I can't see a discussion about the proposal to change this article's name to "Lockdown!". Personally, I don't see a problem with this especially if it is the convention of this wiki for "Doctor Who:..." articles. Although, I have noticed another article titled "Lockdown" without the "!", so perhaps the distinction is necessary/useful to avoid confusion. Opinions anyone?
| |
| | |
| Also, I noticed that the dates of this are listed as "21 March 2020-present", but this should probably be changed as per tweets such as https://twitter.com/Emily_Rosina/status/1269671792785973248 and https://twitter.com/Emily_Rosina/status/1269532196492148736 which indicate June 7th as the final date.

| :: While this is all true, please see the threads linked in the rename template for why this page might not be named that way.

[[User:Danochy|Danochy]] [[User talk:Danochy|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:42, June 9, 2020 (UTC)
| |
| ::: Capitalising Lockdown brings us a technical problem (all caps is read as shouting, and words in all caps at this length are caught by the abuse filter unless a specific exception is made), so it is certainly ''easier'' for us to read "Doctor Who: {{uc:Lockdown}}!" as a stylisation of "Doctor Who: Lockdown!". This would incidentally be following [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Trademarks|Wikipedia's lead]] on non-standard capitalisation when the name isn't an acronym. If you google the name, you'll find news sources for Lockdown in regular title case, so it (presumably) isn't our invention. Finally, there's the issue of inconsistency. The YouTube channel might be called "Doctor Who: {{uc:Lockdown}}!" now, but the title of each video excludes the exclamation mark. We've gotta go with ''something''.
| |
| | |
| :::As for the prefix issue, we ''have'' decided to retain the Doctor Who prefix where doing away with it would bring ambiguity (or require unnecessary disambiguation). ex: [[A Celebration]] vs. [[Doctor Who: A Celebration]], or [[Regeneration]] vs. [[Doctor Who: Regeneration]].

| It only seems logical to go with the stories that DWM credited as being “Lockdown” releases, while finding new places to house the other stories. I think that a new page should be created to house the BBC lockdown stories. The COVID-related video messages could be covered on the main COVID or Lockdown pages.
| |
| | |
| That leaves us with the three stories that are orphaned. I am more than sure that two out of three stories will find themselves deleted (or merged) before long, and the final story – Dalek alternative script extract – could remain on this page as mention only rather than on the stories list (as it is the odd one out of all the other releases which all got webcasts – even the short story that was ‘Revenge of the Nestene’ got the webcast of [[Jacob Dudman]]’s narration).

| : DWM 554 does contain this list, and I agree that it is a very interesting piece of data. Still, it makes no claim to be "comprehensive", nor that the list itself was based on their discussions with Cook.
| |
| | |
| : It also notably includes the non-narrative ''Long Song'' cover, which they don't separate from the rest at all, so they clearly use different criteria than we would in ''any'' case. Since we're going to slightly mess with their scheme by not including ''Long Song'' in the same list, I see no reason not to also leave ''[[Dalek alternative script extract (short story)|Dalek alternative script extract]]'' in the list, possibly with a footnote explaining that it was not included in the DWM article. Ditto for ''[[How The Monk Got His Habit (short story)|How The Monk Got His Habit]]'' under the current policy of considering it a short story, though of course, if your proposal to merge it goes through, that would change matters somewhat.
| |
| | |
| : After all, DWM are positing a Lockdown ''Season''. It is obvious that such a thing could only contain media which are, in one shape or another, video. This is not necessarily a denial that prose obviously released under the ''Lockdown!'' banner (in this case, the ''Dalek alternative script extracts'' and arguably ''Monk'') is not part of ''Lockdown!''.
| |
| | |
| : I agree that the lack of any mention of the BBC Website stories is compelling evidence to house them on a different page, albeit with prominent link from that page to this one and vice-versa. We might also think of some scheme whereby ''[[Doctor Who and the Time War (short story)|Doctor Who and the Time War]]'' and ''[[Incoming Message (webcast)|Incoming Message]]'', while not part of the list of stories, are mentioned in the infobox of the watchalongs themselves as having been released to tie in with the ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'' watchalong, even if they are not ''quite'' part of the ''Lockdown!'' brand and/or Season. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:26, July 30, 2020 (UTC)

| ::Not interested at all in going over the discussions we have been circling for the past couple of months once again. The reason for my post was to publish the new information, that you erased from the page, as it is extremely valuable.
| |
| | |
| ::You can suggest that they use different criteria all you like, but the fact is that what is published in DWM is more reliable than your interpretatiobs. Coincidentally, their list is the exact same as the one I originally created at the start of the discussion...!

| :::I was actually trying to ''avoid'' the main sticking points of our arguments (such as the ''Monk'' story). Still, the fact remains that the list you reproduced above is not quite the list DWM gave us. The list DWM gave us includes the ''Long Song'' cover, and the formatting of the article leaves no question that they consider it to be an installment of "the Lockdown Season" like any other, non-narrative though it may be.
| |
| | |
| :::The matter cannot possibly be resolved (by admins or otherwise) until a full solution is put forward in the Forums. Your post, while mistaken in one respect, was a step on the way to constructing such a solution, and I'd like your opinion on the option to e.g. mention the two not-quite-''Lockdown'' stories released on the day of the ''Rose'' watchalong in the watchalongs table but not the stories list. Surely this doesn't require sparking up any old arguments?
| |
| | |
| :::I did not 'erase' this information from the page. The lead already contains a paragraph describing the contents of the DWM article. It phrases it by pointing out which stories currently held to be ''Lockdown!'' by this Wiki the DWM article did ''not'' include — but that is the same information, and it was redundant to have it appear twice. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:37, July 30, 2020 (UTC)

| ::::The [[Lockdown Long Song - Choir-Only Version (documentary)|Long Song cover]] is the only lockdown-created documentary that could be properly reviewed. All of the other documentaries are either news related, preparations for the song cover, work that was created long ago (like the Heaven Sent stuff) or a COVID-related webcast like [[The Doctors Say Thank You]]. The only other thing created in lockdown was [[Vincent and the Doctor's Gallery (webcast)|Vincent and the Doctor’s Gallery]] and that is just a collection of fan work, not really worth reviewing.
| |
| | |
| ::::The fact is that I believe the true lockdown releases have been obvious from the start - case in point my original list matching DWM’s. That’s why I have no intention whatsoever discussing it with you further as I know we are unable to see eye to eye on this matter. There’s no doubt in my mind that we’d go another 500 posts before agreeing, and I’m not prepared to do it.

| :::I dunno what's all this talk of "reviewing" is. The Wiki is unconcerned with what you choose to critique. (Unless you mean "rewatch"? But again, [[T:NPOV]]. If you think these documentaries are dull, that's your problem.)
| |
| | |
| :::But again, staying away from the matter of what ''is'' a part of ''Lockdown!'', I don't see why you won't provide feedback on a suggestion for what to do with possibly the only two damn things which we agree aren't ''quite'' part of ''Lockdown!'' yet ''should'' be covered, namely ''Incoming Message'' and ''Doctor Who and the Time War''. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:02, July 30, 2020 (UTC)

| == New Evidence re Lockdown stories ==
| |
| | |
| The official ''Doctor Who: Lockdown!'' website, which launched today, gives us a list of "Minisodes" and "Extras" that are counted as part of the official Lockdown event.
| |
| | |
| The minisodes are as follows (and this information lines up EXACTLY with what was explained in [[DWM 554]] which I mentioned above);

| "Extras" are;
| |

| Now two individual sources; the official Lockdown website and the DWM, both reveal that those 16 stories above are the only releases associated with the Lockdown brand.
| |
| | |
| We should be finding a place to rehouse the other stories listed in the associated releases section. [[User:DiSoRiEnTeD1|DiSoRiEnTeD1]] [[User talk:DiSoRiEnTeD1|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:57, November 3, 2020 (UTC)
| |
| :Quite so. We're long overdue finding ''some'' way to split the BBC website stories from the YouTube and Twitter stories.
| |
| | |
| :Fact remains, though, that a lot of the documentary webcasts that are unquestionably part of ''Lockdown!'' (having been released on the YouTube channel) aren't on the website's listings: no ''A-to-Z of Impressions With Jon Culshaw'' to be seen, for example. And ''[[Tests for the Mechanism of Heaven Sent's Confession Dial]]'' isn't listed despite being clearly the same thing as ''[[Heaven Sent Previsualizations (documentary)|Heaven Sent Previsualizations]]''. So while this reinforces that we should find somewhere else to put the BBC stories than in the same table as the strictly ''Lockdown!'' ones, we shouldn't get carried away.
| |
| | |
| :I still think the easiest solution is to keep it all on this page but split the lists further — I'm thinking three sections using the titles and listings given on the new website ("Minisodes", "Singalongs", "Extras"), then "BBC website stories", then a "Miscellaneous" in which we can stuff the other ''Lockdown!'' YouTube channel videos, ''[[Incoming Message (webcast)|Incoming Message]]'', ''[[How The Monk Got His Habit (short story)|How The Monk Got His Habit]]'', and so on. I'm unsure if the BBC ''videos'' (like ''[[Message from the Doctor (webcast)|Message from the Doctor]]'') should be lumped in with "BBC website stories," "Miscellaneous", or be yet a sixth listing.
