Talk:Castrovalva (TV story)
New Page
I've changed the page to fit in with the new look of the episode pages i've been building. Ive transferred the images and the summary into the summary page. I dont know if anyone wants an image on this page as well --Amxitsa 19:22, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
"People's Comments and Ratings"
Do we want to have this sort of section or not? It seems to me that it opens up a can of worms, with the possibility of people arguing over their opinions of different stories. There are plenty of sites (Outpost Gallifrey's Reviews page, The Doctor Who Ratings Guide, to name but two) with reviews of Doctor Who stories. That shouldn't, I think, be the purpose of this site. TARDIS Index File should aspire to be an encyclopedia of Doctor Who facts, not opinions. --Josiah Rowe 19:38, 15 Mar 2005 (GMT)
- I would concur on this. In keeping with most other WikiMedia sites, ours should be a neutral point of view. Plus, quoting other people's reviews verbatim, even with the source cited, runs the risk of copyright infringement. --Freethinker1of1 00:48, 16 Mar 2005 (GMT)
- I agree I dont really think reviews are appropriate for this site --Amxitsa 10:32, 27 Mar 2005 (EST)
Castrovalva (episode) vs. Castrovalva (location)
We should think about what convention we want to set for episodes which have names that ought to have articles as well. My feeling is that the things which exist in the Doctor Who universe should have precedence, so (for example) we'd have an article on robots at robot, but Tom Baker's first story at Robot (episode). If we do adopt that policy, we ought to move this page to Castrovalva (episode), and let Castrovalva be the entry for the recursive city (with an appropriate link to the episode at the top of the page). For what it's worth, that's what Memory Alpha does: compare MemoryAlpha:Miri and MemoryAlpha:Miri (episode). --Josiah Rowe 05:01, 16 Mar 2005 (GMT)
- Certainly sounds like a less cumbersome way of doing things. --Freethinker1of1 08:17, 16 Mar 2005 (GMT)
Extended plot
Is the extended plot on this page really necessary? It makes it nearly impossible to read. Tardis1963 11:24, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
BBC1 Scotland tx time for ep 1
The story notes say episode 1 aired on BBC1 Scotland at 5.30pm, citing The Fifth Doctor Handbook, but it actually aired at 3.30pm - https://www.bbc.co.uk/schedules/p00fzl6v/1982/01/04 - so I'm amending accordingly.
