From what I can gather on ''[[The Turning of the Tide (short story)|The Turning of the Tide]]'', it is set vey soon after ''Journey's End'', while the Big Finish audios do not specify a time length. I see no reason while Meta couldn't have decided to call himself "Corin" after moving to the south coast with Rose to work as a doctor and teacher while preparing for their child's birth. Then, by the time of the Big Finish shorts, he's moved back to London to work with UNIT, who still call him "the Doctor" because it was Rose's idea to not call him "the Doctor", but no one else had any reversions on his name. Like, "Corin" is who he is with Rose, and "the Doctor" is who he is with UNIT.


Is this speculative? Yes, but, to my knowledge, it does not contradict any in-universe information, and, frankly, if it ends this debate, then so be it.[[User:BananaClownMan|BananaClownMan]] [[User talk:BananaClownMan|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:32, October 26, 2019 (UTC)

:Then I propose the following: If this is how the wiki is going to consider this timeline, if he is not using the alias Corin in the Big Finish short trips, Corin should not be used in that section and the alias Doctor should be used instead. I would also request that the first mention on the page also not be Corin, but rather Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor as it would be confusing to any users stumbling on the page as a new fan would be highly confused (I would have been, as I used this wiki religiously when I started watching the show), and it could be mentioned later in the opening that in the Target story he took up the name Corin later in the paragraph and that would leave users far less confused.--[[User:Gingergallifreyan125|Gingergallifreyan125]] [[User talk:Gingergallifreyan125|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:30, October 26, 2019 (UTC)

A day to come?[[edit source]]

Do we really need this section here, given that this is NOT an actual incarnation of the Doctor? I think this is based on a misunderstanding of the Eleventh Doctor's whole "vanity issues" statement in The Time of the Doctor, which actually places the "Twelfth Incarnation" as the Doctor who appears from Journey's End to The End of Time, not this guy. Which, thinking about, shouldn't that also necessitate a splitting of our Tenth Doctor page? NightmareofEden 14:49, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

There's little to no point splitting the Tenth Doctor's page, as he essenial regenerated back into himself. He even affirms as much in Journey's End: "Used the regeneration energy to heal myself, but soon as I was done, I didn't need to change. I didn't want to. Why would I? Look at me. So, to stop the energy going all the way, I siphoned off the rest into a handy bio-matching receptacle, namely my hand. " & "I'm still me." Then, in The Time of the Doctor, the Eleventh Doctor reiterates with; "Number Ten once regenerated and kept the same face." So, what would have been the tenth regeneration (at the time) was instead used in conjunction with the Tenth Doctor's hand to create the "Meta-Crisis Doctor", thus justifying the "A day to come" subsection covering mentions of future regenerations.
