The Big Bang

Does the entire plot for The Big Bang need to be included in this article? Seems a little much to me. Thoughts? 152.131.9.132 19:34, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

I agree with the above comment, far too much information on a single story, it's apparent that Smith will be on for at least one more year and this article is already longer than quite a few other Doctor's78.109.186.10 23:05, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

Was just about to suggest the same thing, then realised the two users above have already suggested it. This article should be about the 11th Doctor. The plot of every episode he is featured in is not necessary. There are already story articles which serve this purpose. Try to summerise what he did in the episode using a few sentences. KKIH4, April 4, 2011.

Ditto above, the section should be about the same size as the current christmas travels paragraph ~ 10-15 lines at most. PL.

I already did all this back in 2010 but it seems to have been reverted since without my knowing. I've cut it down again so hopefully this time it will stick. --Revan\Talk 16:06, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Eh, kind of an overreaction. The Tenth Doctor got a single section for each of his finalies, so what's wrong with giving the 11ht Doc his own? Not much of a problem there. Sure some trimming would be good, switch some long winded explanations with shortened versions.

Deleted Scenes

Do deleted scenes count as canon, because in this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAI7ZcIbzw4&feature=related, he calls himself a "Space Gandalf" and compares himself to Yoda. And theis one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaOPe4emP9Y&feature=related contains good Info on the TARDIS' chameleon circuit and others.

Those two scenes are not deleted scenes, but were additional scenes written and filmed specifically for the DVD and Blu-ray release. Therefore they are both canon, alongside the two Comic Relief mini-episodes. There is still debate regarding whether bona fide deleted scenes, such as the one from Journey's End that established the whole "TARDIS coral" thing, should be considered canon. But there's little debate regarding the two you cite, except from those who hold to a strict personal (as opposed to official BBC) view that only televised material counts. 68.146.78.43 14:33, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

"Cleanup"

What is with the big ugly tag at the top of the page? "Paragraph, align images" - fair enough, but as far as I can see, the paragraphs and images are aligned just fine (certainly no worse than Amy Pond, and certainly not enough to warrant a "big cleanup"). When can we get rid of this obstructive tag?--The Traveller 20:46, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Page Protection

Why is this page protected? It seems every page on this wiki is protected and I cannot edit, even though I registered... -- Rest In Peace Sarah Jane \ Talk to me! 12:35, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

It's the practice of this site to protect pages that are "current event" pages - as in with new episodes and information coming in - due to in the past people posting nonsense, incorrect information, rumor, or simple vandalism. As a result, numerous pages are "blocked" from anonymous editors and also newbies. I don't know what criteria is used that allows newbies to post - I assume post count. So If you want to contribute to these current pages I suggest adding valid information to other articles about non-current subjects. You don't need to actually add information; I think improving the wording, fixing spelling and grammatical mistakes, etc, would qualify as valid contributions too. Just remember this is a UK-based wiki and therefore UK-based spelling, grammar and formatting prevails. 68.146.78.43 14:29, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Main image

I'm not criticising the current image - it's far better than the Christmas Carol one or the Impossible Astronaut one - but why do we need to change it so often?--The Traveller 07:56, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

Can we bring back the Christmas Carol one? I like this one (after all, it's of the Eleventh Doctor, I like all pictures of the Eleventh Doctor), but the Christmas Carol one is absolutely incredible. 65.35.225.248 18:28, June 16, 2011 (UTC)

Eleventh Doctor Quotes

What is your favourite Eleventh Doctor quote? Mine is:

The Doctor: Legs. I've still got legs. Good. Arms, hands. Oo, fingers, lots of fingers. Ears, yes. Eyes, two. Nose, I've had worse. Chin, blimey. Hair -- I'm a girl! No! No! I'm not a girl! And still not ginger! And there's something else, something important, I'm, I'm, I'm -- [loud explosion] ha! Crashing! Ha, ha! Whoo-hoo-hoo! Geronimo! 65.35.225.248 23:51, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Got idea. Mine is (Cloister bell rings from regenration-damaged TARDIS)"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"Forgetful 10th doctor fan ^{talk to me} 17:23, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

Grammar/Spelling

I'm reading this article, and whoever wrote it has terrible grammar. Someone please go through and fix it.

Nathan 15:49, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Could you be a little more specific regarding the issues with the grammar? --Tangerineduel / talk 15:57, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Section 1.8 bugs me. Interfere, friends, permanently and affiliated are misspelt. Also the sentences seem a little to complex with superfluous commas.

Hearing, but not seeing.

There needs to be a few more pictures of the page. Specifically in the personality, habits/quirks and outfit sections.

Reason?

There needs to be more pictures of the Doctor's habits in the Eleventh incanration while showing his various different outfits and aspects of his personality being displayed. Not to mention that's the only part of the page that pictures thin out on.

Another thing; the early travels section needs a bit more picturers from the other episodes. Its bare compared to the sixth series section. (173.167.179.77 18:48, June 22, 2011 (UTC))

Yes. Someone, please fix it! We really need more pictures. Eleven is my favourite Doctor. Sorry if that sounded random. 65.35.225.248 23:52, June 24, 2011 (UTC)

main image

We need to find one mug shot of the Eleventh Doctor that feels right for the main picture. Something calm, not really showing emotion. Like when he's contemplating something or has a realization. How about the one from the Beast Below where he says "yes" to Amy's question with a smile. That one seems good; its not over-emotional, its just the little bit we need. (173.167.179.77 18:48, June 22, 2011 (UTC))

Not really. The one Cortion added is just fine. BroadcastCorp. 10:26, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

His eyes are what!?!

This article says the Doctor's eyes are blue. His eyes are green. Trust me, I know! Can someone edit the article for me? 72.185.37.205 19:53, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Done--Skittles the hog - talk 19:56, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Main image

I preferred the previous image, from The Lodger, rather than the current one. I would like a Series 6 image, though, but not the current one. It's not quite as focused on the Doctor's face, which is the most important aspect. D0ct0r11 • 20:17: Mon 9 Sep 2011

Undated/unchronicled events

The doctors adventures shown in the impossible astronaut i.e. the nazi camp, laurel and hardy film. Could they not be dated as between god complex and his death. 81.154.210.113 20:47, September 22, 2011 (UTC) LL

Probably somewhere along those lines. -- Tybort (talk page) 20:58, September 22, 2011 (UTC)

According to an interview with Gareth Roberts on the BBC website, "Closing Time" will take place 200 years (for the Doctor) after "The God Complex". Roberts mentions that everything they saw him do/was referenced in "The Impossible Astronaut" takes place between the two episodes. Glimmer721 21:54, September 22, 2011 (UTC)

The Wedding of River Song

Under the "Escaping Death" section, it mistakenly reads that Amy finds out that Kovarian is herself. Just to make sure I didn't miss something, I went back to make sure she didn't.

I noticed that it says that the distress becon was created using the White Point Diamond that was used to link the Master to the Time War. I've watched the episode and the confidential and I dont recall any reference to this? Also in the same paragraph when River said a "million million voices" I dont think it was ment to be literal.89.243.236.181 01:28, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

umm...

The Doctor dislikes his past lives. When he guest-starred in Sarah Jane's show, he rudely remarked on Jo Grant's age after she remembered how he looked with his first three faces. Would this go under his habits and quirks?

Would this example would

"Upon being reminded of a past life, the Doctor would rudely remark on a fault of the person who reminded him of it" (SJA: Death of the Doctor)

Forgetful 10th doctor fan ^{talk to me} 17:20, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

If I recall, Jo didn't just remind him of his past lives. She said that he had turned into a baby. She was basically insulting this version of him. She was complaining that he had become younger, so he complained about how he got older.Icecreamdif ^{talk to me} 20:56, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

omg!

I'm so, so, very very very very very very sorry!

Something went wrong when I edited the section on "Habits and Quirks". I am so sorry.

I feel just awful for messing up part of the page, something went wrong when I hit the "Publish" Icon.

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Oooh... Please, don't be VERY angry with me. I do expect some Anger.

173.167.179.77 21:00, October 26, 2011 (UTC) "Forgetful 10th Doctor fan"

Well we are hearing, but not seeing

There needs to be more pictures in bare places on the page, wouldn't you agree. The Habits and Quirks section is looking awfuly lonely. Not to mention, the Appearance part has no picture now. There are also other parts in the Eleventh Doctor's history, where there can be pictures, but hey. That's life. (Forgetful 10th doctor fan ^{talk to me} 02:00, November 9, 2011 (UTC))

Paragraphs

I can't seem to get the paragraphs around the bit spanning from The Doctor's Wife through Let's Kill Hitler to break lines properly. Does it have something to do with the densely packed images? -- Tybort (talk page) 00:34, November 25, 2011 (UTC)

Sheesh

Okay, I see when I've been beat; I try adding pictures onto the empty ares, but no dice. Well, can somebody else do it, i have trouble getting the words to stop sticking together and if I hi the space bar twice, that makes it look terirble.
