Talk:Dodo Chaplet

Key life events

When I encountered it, page had these comments under the section above:

• After tragic events, Dodo comes to live with her great-aunt and finds herself held prisoner. (PROSE: Salvation)
• Dodo escapes, finds the Doctor's TARDIS and leaves with him. (TV: The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve, PROSE: Salvation, TV: The Ark)
• A computer, WOTAN, takes over Dodo's mind. Recovering from this, she decides to stay in 1966 London. (TV: The War Machines)
• Dodo spends years in psychiatric institutions as a result of her brief control by WOTAN.
• Dodo meets James Stevens and begins a relationship with him, but is killed by Francis Cleary, under control of the Master. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)

I've removed them here to archive them, but really they shouldn't go back into the article in this form. It's impossible to do a neat timeline of events for Dodo, because the various non-TV stories conflict too heavily with each other for it to make sense.

Infobox image

I've gone ahead and uploaded a few suggestions for Dodo's infobox, my favourite of which is #6. It's the best quality but, like the current image, she's making the cardinal sin of not looking left. Jack "BtR" Saxon ☎ 12:11, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Given that #6 probably isn't acceptable, I vote for #1. Jack "BtR" Saxon ☎ 17:24, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

I missed this talk page, but I noticed the image was changed (a few days ago, without much discussion?) and I must say I believe the original image ("Current" in your gallery) is much better than what it was recently changed to. According to T:GTI, looking left is helpful but it is not required, especially when another image could be better. (It is taking things a bit too far to consider it a "cardinal sin", I think.) All the other proposals, in my opinion, do not depict Dodo's character as well; they are too candid and sometimes a bit awkward. Even if it's not a super-close up looking left, the one of her smiling still follows the image policy and I think is a better image of the character and better quality.
