I don't suppose we could use the singular they in this article to avoid the clumsy pronoun trouble? --SB | T 18:42, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Both

Shouldn't this article metion something about The Corsair being the only Time Lord to be both male and female?Mandalore74 talk to me 22:44, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Not the only one — just the only one we know about. (For all we know, Borusa started out female.) —Josiah Rowe talk to me 04:56, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

Davies and Lost in Time

I deleted a potentially bogus paragraph claiming that Russell T Davies (described as "head canon", whatever that means) said the Shopkeeper from Sarah Jane Adventures was the Corsair. The cited source contains no such reference, and The Doctor's Wife was produced and broadcast after the Shopkeeper was introduced in Lost in Time, and Davies has never made any statement as to the origins of that character (the DWM special editions on SJA make no reference to the Corsair having any connection). Feel free to put it back if an actual source can be found. 70.72.211.35talk to me 14:28, April 10, 2013 (UTC)

Seeing as how the writer of the episode, Neil Gaiman, is the source for this information I think it should be included. PonyEnglish 03:15, July 4, 2013 (UTC)

This information will not be added to the article unless it occurs in the narrative. Out of universe sources are not valid sources for in-universe articles. Shambala108 03:21, July 4, 2013 (UTC)
I would argue that since it is a "behind the scenes" bit that Gaiman warranted a blog post commenting on it that it should stay.
