Talk:Tenth Doctor/Archive 1

Tennant as the Valeyard - sorry, couldn't help myself. 125.60.243.84 08:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

No, he needs Time Lord clothes. You know, robes, big ol' shoulders, stuff like that. Valeyard with the proper clothes. Azes13 14:40, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I know... someone needs to Photoshop the two pictures then. Might be nice for an April Fools joke.

Give and take away

Okay 2 questions one where is the Master storyline on this page and secondly can we please take away the episode names on the pages it makes the article character to seem more real.--The 10th Doctor 01:01, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Episodes names are listed for reference so that people can see where the information came from specifically. (Also handy if there's something you want to actually see, and don't know what episode it was brought up in.) The Doctor is a fictional character. This is a wiki for a show about fictional characters and stories. Trying to make the articles "seem more real" defeats the entire purpose of having a reference guide. --Colleyd 17:56, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

If they want a refrence they can go to wikipedia the episod enames are unnecessary.--The 10th Doctor 00:01, 12 October 2007 (UTC) And I still don't see the Master storyline (I would do it but I'm not really good with words).--The 10th Doctor 00:03, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

If they were to go to wikipedia, how pray tell would they find the specific story if not for the story titles?

Listing the story references is the method used on the TARDIS Wiki (and in is used in one fashion or another on all the science fiction/fantasy wikias). --Tangerineduel 13:00, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

We could, I suppose, always develop another method of referencing. Something similar to Wookieepedia's referencing system (sources at the bottom) could be made, with ref links to the mentions. I see 10th Doctor's point, and the episode titles do clutter up articles and occasionally make them hard to follow. At least ref links like ^[1] are easier to bypass. Anyway, that's another topic for the forums, not an article talk page.

As for the Master storyline, you can always try to write it yourself. Inevitably, someone else will come along and fix your mistakes. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 14:45, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Okay and thanks I am glad you agree with me Ghelae and if someone will fix my mistakes I'll write it to the best of my ability.--The 10th Doctor 21:50, 12 October 2007 (UTC) Could we please put the refrences at the bottom of the page instead of right there on the episode's discription PLEASE?--The 10th Doctor 22:33, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Like I said, use the forum. ~ Ghelæ -talk-contribs 14:35, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Season finale section

Out of curiosity who urgraded the Master section it is better than what I said.--23:32, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

You can find out; by using the History button, to compare and see the differences between the various edits on the pages. --Tangerineduel 13:58, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Done

I put the refrences on the bottom. What do you think?--The 10th Doctor 22:43, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Reverted the edit. It didn't maintain any of the sources/links to the sources, what was in the edit was a glorified list, it didn't link the sources to what was in the text. --Tangerineduel 14:43, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

You fool! Just kidding. Why? It makes no sense to change it it looked way better with the refrences at the bottom. Don't make me come after you.--The 10th Doctor 21:46, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Alright I've redone it but don't erase it just because it's in red try to make it able to be clicked on know what I mean. If not tell me and don't immediantly delete. Go to my user page or here and tell me your reasons before you get rid of the refrences at the bottom.--The 10th Doctor 22:08, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Reverted. All it looked like was a lackluster episode list with no regards as to what they're referencing specifically. --Colleyd 22:50, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Don't make me hurt you STOP! It looks two times better.--The 10th Doctor 01:18, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Enough!

Okay, founder coming out of a prolonged lurk mode to put a stop to this. The page has been reverted and is now protected for the time being from further edits except by sysops. The 10th Doctor has been temporarily blocked. A wiki by its very nature may undergo edits based solely on people's individual tastes and preferences, but when "edit wars" start over a single page it detracts and distracts from the wiki as a whole and generates a negative mood among its contributors, who should act as colleagues, not rivals. Please play nice, guys. --Freethinker1of1 02:22, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Return of the 10th Doctor

Okay how about this since no refrences on the bottom of the page how about people look up the episode names on list of appreances that is what it is there for?--The 10th Doctor 31 October 2007

No. The list of a appearances is what it says on the title, a list of appearances of a given character/monster. It doesn't directly tie what is written to a story. --Tangerineduel 06:28, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Well is there anything we can do to get rid of those episode names?--The 10th Doctor 1 November 2007

Negative. Episode names provide a valuable resource for those reading the wiki. In my time at this site, you have been the only person I've seen to express the desire in removing them. No one else appears to have any problems with them. You at one point said the reason you wanted to remove them was so that you could make a print out of the page. If that is the cause, then you really only seem to be wanting to change it for your own usage, and not for the betterment of the wiki itself. --Colleyd 05:14, 2 November 2007 (UTC)Woof

Okay yeah that is what I wanted to do at first but know I want to help the article and I'm not the only one I know 15 people who want to change it literally but they do not have a profile on this site.--The 10th Doctor 13:49, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

This system works, because it gives the reader a chance to read more information about what happened in a given episode. AnimeNoKyouran 03:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

The Doctor has a new idea

Instead of getting rid of episode names or putting them on the bottom how about this. Instead of putting the episode names beside episodes descreption how about we do it like this.

Rose

Episode information. What do you think of this idea?--The 10th Doctor 01:54, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Also known as?

So under "Also Known As" it says the Doctor has also used the names John Smith, James McCrimmon and Sir Doctor Of TARDIS. Just wondering if the idea to reference alias's in articles has been brought up?

I know John Smith happened during Human Nature/Family of Blood, and Sir Doctor Of TARDIS was Tooth and Claw. But what about James McCrimmon? (a homage to Jamie I'm guessing?) Onio 21:50, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

All the information about the aliases should probably be kept on this page. -<Azes13 22:18, 28 December 2007 (UTC)>-

Editing

I have put the Family of Blood storyline in the article if anyone can put more detail (I'm not good at that) that would be great and also more detail on the episode in which the Tenth Doctor met his Fifth incarnation. On characteristics I think you should put the Family of blood thing in there. The Master Chief-117 19:23, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Can someone please put more detail on the Human Nature/Family of Blood and the episode with the Fifth Doctor parts of the article? Please, please, please!! The Master Chief-117 22:09, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

the detailed information can go in the episode summaries for those episodes. Stardizzy? 20:54, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Key Life Events has gotten ridiculous

this has gotten into "the Doctor changes his hairstyle (DW: The Idiot's Lantern)" territory. this section should concern only the most important happenings in a person's life. his separation from Rose would count. getting stuck in 1969, let's in Blink, wouldn't count. I will change this I get around to it. actually the article in general needs trimming. --Stardizzy? 20:52, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Key Events

I did some trimming of the Key Events, I tried to keep it to big events that could shape his life. Please have a look and feel free to add or remove any you think they should be there or shouldnt Bigshowbower 09:59, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
