I think that we should discuss the formatting of each of the individual Doctors' pages. A lot of them have sections in different orders, some are subsections of other sections. I think we should devise an order in which each of these sections should go. Have a look at the contents section on each of the Doctors' pages and you'll see what I mean.

- We should focus on making the articles in-universe, fully in-universe. Some sections like 'unrecorded adventures' just seem to be a place to dump information that hasn't been incorporated into the article.
- I think we need to seriously look at 'Key life events', it's especially bad for the new series it's become a list of stories except written in-universe - maybe even getting rid of this section across all articles.
- I've done a quick edit, removing 'profile' making Biography the first heading.
- The Companions section on the Fourth Doctor article seems a little surplus to requirements, it's not really about the Fourth Doctor or really his relationship with them, it's more a summary of their time with the Fourth Doctor, referencing them.
- Clothes and impact on later incarnations on the Fifth Doctor article should be integrated into the article, both would probably be better in 'Psychological profile'.
- 'Mysteries and Discrepancies' seems to be 'Discontinuity, Plot holes and errors' by another name and a little bit more in-universe. Some of the info could be integrated into the article better. On the First Doctor article it seems well researched, though on many others its devolved into the sort of stuff we used to see in 'discontinuity' sections on the story articles.
- The Tenth Doctor article needs a good cull of information and big re-structure a lot of the sections read like condensed plot summaries. --Tangerineduel 15:01, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
