Revision as of 16:00, 18 December 2011
Although perhaps still fuelling the controversy, the website 'The Whoniverse' gives very good explanations for when it dates all [yes, all] onscreen stories, including those in the U.N.I.T. era. These [italicised explanations] could, maybe, be used if someone on The Doctor Who Wiki had the time and inclination to agree with the notes [User: Stripey].
- just include a link under External Links. I know of two other very well-researched Whoniverse chronologies (AHistory and Timelink by Jon Preddle, neither admittedly as up-to-date), so why give precedence to that one? (actually I think Wikipedia has a good one, too.) --Stardizzy2 22:05, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
Another page to denote a similar controversy...?
Although it obviously wouldn't be as extensive or as long as this page, does anyone else think there should be a page called "Aliens of London dating controversy" about the "year ahead" problem caused by "Aliens of London"? The page would explain how due to the Doctor mistakenly bringing Rose to 2006 instead of 2005, each episode was subseuently said to be set a year ahead of its broadcast. It would also detail contradicting given dates (such as Donna mentioning "You [The Doctor] saved us all in 2008!"). The page would end with the section "Apparent resolution" which would detail how the problem was offset due to the lack of a full series in 2009, allowing the 2009 Doctor Who Specials, The Sarah Jane Adventures Series 2, The Sarah Jane Adventures Series 3, Doctor Who Series 4 and Torchwood: Children of Earth to all be set in 2009 in the Whoniverse and allowing Series 5 of Doctor Who to become contemporary with our universe once more. Does anyone agree that this article would be needed? Bttsstewart 08:08, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
Sarah Jane
I removed a few words under "Major Evidence" with regards to the reference in Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane indicating Sarah was in her early 20s when she met the Doctor "rather than her late 20s" (removed text quoted. I do believe it actually supports an episode of either the Pertwee or Baker era. Does Sarah not give her age as 23 in one of those early stories? 23skidoo 20:03, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
