 Seeing as we don't really have many behind the scenes sections, I would like to propose that we introduce sections for critical reception onto episode pages. Obviously, they would have to be rigorously sourced and [[tardis:Manual of Style#Sources|couldn't make use of personal blogs]]. The sources would have to be reputable ones, such as newspaper reviews. Wikipedia do a similar thing with films; [[wikipedia:The King's Speech#Critical response|here's an example]]. So what do you think?--{{User:Skittles the hog/sig}} 15:01, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 ==Yes we should have reception sections==

So long as we're clear that statements in the section ''must'' be drawn from proper news sources, then it's fine.  Blogs at a news source are also fine (say, the media blogs at ''The Guardian''), but just AnyOldWhoFan'sBlog are not.  So, no taking opinions off of Radio Free Skaro's Chrnoic Hystoresis, or whatever it's called.  Fans who've published opinions in professionally published works are citable, too — such as the recent book by [[Robert Shearman]] and [[Toby Hadoke]].

 ==No we shouldn't==
 In theory I agree with CzechOut that it ''sounds'' reasonable. But in practice though, I'm worried we're opening ourselves up for a world of hurt. I agree more so with Tybort, that reviews aren't really where we should be going.
