| == Final warning to all Users about Doctor Who TV ==
| |
|
| |
| This is a one and only warning regarding ''Doctor Who TV''.
| |
|
| |
| It '''cannot''' be used as a source. The only ''Doctor Who'' related sites that can be used are Gallifrey Base (accessible via the news feed on the front page) and the official website.
| |
|
| |
| All casting, filming, rumours must come from media (newspapers etc) and news sites (digital spy) - where everything has a base source. ''Doctor Who TV'' uses sources that are 'fans', with nothing to back them up. If they do have a source, please link via the source and not ''Doctor Who TV''.

| :Well someone keeps uploading it as a source and creating rumors. Whoever is doing this needs a ip ban... I'm starting to lose my calm... -114.76.1.117
| |
| ::The episode 7 thing that got reverted twice recently did have a source, they just neglected to link to it. I've now added said source (a website of a crew member which has a CV on it - a first party source). They don't always report bullshit. {{User:Digifiend/SigReal|17:32,10/8/2012}}
| |
| ::: If I may ask is there an actual black and white list of banned sources? At one point I believe I put the John Fay report (which I would have cited) which uses Fay's CV as a source; it should be noted that CVs have been used by other sites such as the Doctor Who News Page. Not everyone is intimately familiar with how ever single website is operated. Maybe MM (an admin?) could be so kind as to create a list of sources that should not be used. Maybe some sort of sticky can be created when one clicks the Edit button.

| == Clara Oswin ==
| |
|
| |
| Is the Mirror really a suitable source? Tabloids print wrong info all the time. The Sun's TV Magazine included the same name in an article, but in light of [[Asylum of the Daleks]], in which Jenna-Louise plays somebody called Oswin Oswald, it seems that Clara Oswin was incorrect. Either they're different characters, or she's not called Clara at all. {{User:Digifiend/SigReal|19:40,9/1/2012}}

| |
| == Grammatic tenses ==
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Just wondered, since the series has now started airing, should the relevant parts of the article be converted to past tense, e.g. "Series 7 ''began'' airing on the 1st of September 2012" rather than "Series 7 ''will begin'' airing..."; "Toby Whithouse ''wrote'' episode 3" rather than "Whithouse ''will write''..."? Or do we wait for the last episode to air before converting the article? I'd be happy to do the editing; just wanted to check before rushing in there.

| == Arcs / Recurring Themes ==
| |
|
| |
| So, given the season-arc nature of the series, and the prevalent themes that crop up over the course of a season, I wonder if perhaps the revived series' season pages should describe the relevant arc and/or theme(s) present in the series. The ones that come to mind I've listed below:
| |
| *Series 1: "Bad Wolf"
| |
| *Series 2: Torchwood
| |
| *Series 3: Vote Harold Saxon
| |
| *Series 4: DoctorDonna, Disappearing Bees, There's Something On Your Back
| |
| *2009 Specials: He Will Knock Four Times
| |
| *Series 5: Cracks in Time
| |
| *Series 6: Silence Will Fall, Death of the Doctor
| |
| *Series 7: Christmas, Flickering Lights
| |
| Obviously, not all of these necessarily warrant mention, but some are deliberate, relevant season arcs (Bad Wolf, Vote Harold Saxon, DoctorDonna) that have more to do with the season as a whole than they do individual episodes.
| |
|
| |
| As it is, almost all of the season pages are unique (read: inconsistent) and could use some reorganization, so I thought it might be good to bring up the possibility of a Themes section as we approach a three-month hiatus and can afford to do some spring cleaning. Thoughts?

| =="Introduction of Clara Oswin" needs to be reworded== | | ==14 episodes, not 13== |
| As I understand the policies here, we don't announce character names, etc until the episode airs. The statement "Introduction of Clara Oswin" next to the Christmas special therefore is improper, plus may be outdated since presumably it was added before Asylum of the Daleks raised a question mark as to whether ''that'' might be the true introduction to the character (putting aside controversy regarding the name, remembering that the BBC has yet to officially confirm the character's name going forward from the Christmas Special). It should be removed and perhaps replaced with "Jenna-Louise Coleman joins as a series regular." With "Introduction of "Jenna-Louise Coleman" added to Asylum's entry - note I didn't say mention the character's name as we do not know yet whether she'll play a new character or Oswin Oswald.

| | Despite Moffat stating in DWM and other BBC sources stating this, the article continues to treat The Snowmen as a standalone, whereas Moffat, etc have said it was considered a "regular" episode. I'm aware there are rumors that Snowmen might not be in included in the Part 2 DVD/Blu-ray release, but that's beside the point. The episode count should be adjusted accordingly. (And in an earlier thread, now archived, I also questioned whether the 2011 Christmas special, which we now know is not being released or circulated in any way with Series 7 shouldn't be moved to the Series 6 article instead...

| :This is exactly what I said above - Clara Oswin is wrong. Surely if anything, it would be Clara Oswald (an ancestor of Oswin, perhaps? We can only speculate so far). Fact is, her surname is unknown and shouldn't be on the page. {{User:Digifiend/SigReal|00:58,10/7/2012}}

| Quite possibly the most silly, semantic question to ask, but... should we be listing the midseason Christmas special as Episode 6, or "N/A"? (And likewise, the spring premiere as 7 or 6, etc.) '''<font color=#609000>d</font> [[User:Witoki|<font color=#609000>●</font>]][[User_talk:Witoki|<font color=#FF6090>•</font>]][[Special:Contributions/Witoki|<font color=#6090FF>·</font>]]''' 14:57, October 24, 2012 (UTC)

| ::since the christmas special introduces a new regular companion, and therefore is obviously part of the main narrative flow of the series, i personally think it makes more sense to call it '6', and the spring premiere '7'.
