| | 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...

| ::I agree with Michael Downey, the Series 6 page was created while Series 5 was still going. I think a good example was the Series 5 (The Sarah Jane Adventures) page. It was created while Series 3 was still going as the BBC had confirmed episodes starring Elisabeth Sladen. That's all it had written on it. Something like "Series 5 of The Sarah Jane Adventures has been confirmed to be broadcast in 2011 by the BBC. Elisabeth Sladen will resume her role as Sarah Jane Smith" and then a reference to a BBC page. That was all. Of course, after Lis Sladen's tragic death, that page got a bit rumourful, but I think it was good until then. We should create a Series 6 page that says: "Series 6 or Season 33 has been confirmed to be broadcast in 2012. It will consist of 14 episodes, one of which will be written by John Fay. Matt Smith will reprise his role as the Doctor" and lock it until later. Its premature, but its been done and worked before. [[User:Bigredrabbit|Bigredrabbit]] 06:22, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

| == Rumors ==
| |
| | |
| Just a quick point on the rumors section, if you read the sources, they never actually say that River or Jack are going to come back, just a "maybe or maybe not, who knows, could be, I hope so." That's not a rumor. A rumor is "a statement or claim of questionable accuracy, from no known reliable source, usually spread by word of mouth." They aren't actually making a statement or claim in the sources. Therefore, the 'rumors' about River and Jack should be removed. --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:darkblue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 18:13, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

| | |
| :Both of them are rumours. Rumours mean "uncertain or doubtful of the truth" (Oxford English Dictionary). Both rumours link to series 7, the site has been noted to be very reliable in the past and also, it uses interviews as their sources for each. The site does not make up the rumours, nor are they confirmed facts. They have interviews which hint towards it, which makes it a rumour. If the way it's word suggests it a rumour then we add it. Of course we won't add "We hope Jack will be back", but if it says Matt Smith, Steven Moffat, Alex Kingston or whoever has hinted at the return of X and the source mentions series 7, then it becomes a rumour. [[User:Mini-mitch|MM]]/<small>[[User talk:Mini-mitch|Want to talk?]]</small> 18:22, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
| |
| :Your problem is that the sources are just that: "We hope they will be back." In the source for River, all that point towards River returning is this: “I’d love to [return]. As long as we feel that there are still stories to tell, I’m happy to continue.” That is not a factual statement that is doubtful of the truth. That is a stated desire; Kingston ''wants'' to return. We have nothing more than that to go on from that source. This is excatly the same as the discussion we had over Torchwood. Their return might be hinted with "maybe they will come back," but they also say" who knows if I will come back?" --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:darkblue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 18:42, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

| This is untrue. I don't believe it. It can't be spread over two years. This should be deleted immediantly. And actually I think the page should be deleted.

| :What don't you believe? An official BBC spokesman? They will do what they need, want and must do, so saying it "can't" is does not really mean anything, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I also don't like the idea, but I added it since it was an official BBC spokesman that said it, and their are numerous sources for it. There no need for this page to be deleted, it serves it purpose, which is too gather all the information of series 7, since information is already been told and leaked about it.

| |
| ::Thanks Mini-mitch, that was a delightfully prompt fix. The other major issue I saw is the number of times that references are followed immediately by punctuation. Wikipedia's Manual of Style dictates that when punctuation and references are adjacent that the reference should always come last so it's always a bit jarring to see it done otherwise even on other wikis.

| :: There's no way to tell for certain. We need to wait till their involvement is actually confirmed. All we have are the actor's statements made at comic conventions. They could still end up only appearing in the season finale or something a la Rose Tyler in Series 4. Or not at all bearing in mind production of Series 7 isn't starting until after the new year (Christmas special notwithstanding). The lack of any new companion actor or actress being announced doesn't mean anything because there's also been some indication the Doctor may be entering a period of solo travel.
