Talk:2009 Specials (Doctor Who)

Sources!

Okay, seriously, if you add info to this article, add a reference backing up whatever you're adding. Especially if you're gonna add something as confusing as "David Tennant has stated he will stay until 2011, but this may not be true." Thank you. LostRaccoon 14:01, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

On a similar note, just because you can source something, doesn't mean it should necessarily be in the article. The following was the last statement in the lead of this article:

Tennant is currently in negotiations which may see him staying as the Doctor until 2011.

That's absolutely irrelevant to the topic of the 2009 specials. He has repeatedly said he's going to be in all of the specials, which is the only thing this article should address. If you want to move the statement over to the Series 5 article, I've preserved it here for an easy cut and paste. Also, it might be of some use for a potential Series 6 page, in case we want to track the long process of casting the Doctor in that series. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 16:25, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

I moved that statment there because an unregistered user had added "David Tennant has stated he will stay until 2011, but this may not be true" in the very middle of the article, without any sort of a source. Being sort of new to this wikia, I'm uncomfortable deciding to delete info others add, but I did know that if it was going to be in the article at all, it ought to be in the lead paragraph which discussed Tennant's involvement, and needed to be sourced.

And obviously the report turned out to be false, anyway. 23skidoo 16:26, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Suggest renaming the article

We're now seeing reports that the last special is actually being aired in 2010. Should this article, therefore, be renamed 2009-2010 Specials? 23skidoo 16:26, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

I'd say wait until we get told officially when the last special will be, before we change the name. Jack's the man - 20:18, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
