Hello all. First discussion post here, so please let me know if I'm missing something important (formatting for the discussion, etc.). | |||
I'd like to propose a change of the infobox image for the Dalek article. As far as I can tell, the current image (an altered clip from one of the comic book stories), was established by a consensus discussion back in 2011 or 2012. Time for a change? My opinion supporting replacement: ''Doctor Who'' is primarily a television show. Has been for decades. Most people know it as such. The comics are quite obscure to the average newcomer to DWU, and perhaps a significant portion of fans. While it's fun to put a comic image to show off how this project accepts all the material as canon, and to draw attention to the spin-off stories, I do still believe it is quite forced. I found the excellent image below from an old discussion thread, and strongly believes it does the Daleks more justice ''as they are known to most visitors and fans'' throughout the generations.

Vehicle?
Why is "Dalek" under Category:Vehicles? Is it because it serves as a vehicle to the Kaled mutants? I didn't touch it because the category's involved in the Game of Rassilon, but can someone explain why? Thanks.

- I know that in Genesis of the Daleks, Davros refers to them as "Mark III travel machines," perhaps that's why the category was added? TARDIStraveler ☎ 11:58, March 29, 2013 (UTC)
First time the Doctor saw the Daleks
Is there no scope for putting in the first time the Doctor saw the Daleks outside of its casing in The Daleks Master Plan.
- Well, no, cause that's not the first time the Doctor saw the Kaled at the interior. That happened in the middle of serial B.

Replace infobox image
Hello all. First discussion post here, so please let me know if I'm missing something important (formatting for the discussion, etc.).
I'd like to propose a change of the infobox image for the Dalek article. As far as I can tell, the current image (an altered clip from one of the comic book stories), was established by a consensus discussion back in 2011 or 2012. Time for a change? My opinion supporting replacement: Doctor Who is primarily a television show. Has been for decades. Most people know it as such. The comics are quite obscure to the average newcomer to DWU, and perhaps a significant portion of fans. While it's fun to put a comic image to show off how this project accepts all the material as canon, and to draw attention to the spin-off stories, I do still believe it is quite forced. I found the excellent image below from an old discussion thread, and strongly believes it does the Daleks more justice as they are known to most visitors and fans throughout the generations.
