No more Amy Williams-ing, please?
I removed "(later Amy Williams)" from the page. Her name is definately staying Amy Pond, thank god. You can check for yourselves - she's bailed on the credits as Amy Pond. Plus the Doctor constantly refers to she and Rory as "the Ponds" and "Mr and Mrs Pond", so if anything, he's taken her name. Sorry, but it sort of anoys me that there are people assume Amy will take Rory's name purely because she's a woman. I'm not calling you people sexist or anything; I'm just saying you need to keep a broader outlook on things. MidnightCat 20:00, April 30, 2011 (UTC)
There was no suggestion of this but you can hardly take the Doctor's word as gospel. Rory seemed pretty certain he was not Pond after his wedding. This happened before with people saying there was no proof that Gwen Cooper took Rhys Williams' name.----Skittles the hog--Talk 20:03, April 30, 2011 (UTC)
- Which is fair enough, but the names used in the closing credits are gospel. 68.146.78.43 14:54, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
Please remove "pregnant wife" reference in the lead paragraph
Unless someone has seen a future episode, there is nothing to yet support that she is pregnant. The ending of Day of the Moon shows both positive and negative on the scan, so we do not know. Also, even if she is pregnant, this is not a permanent condition, so therefore should not be referenced in the introduction to the character. Someone with editing rights please remove it; the pregnancy can be discussed elsewhere in the article. 68.146.78.43 14:52, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
typo & misquoted/misheard
The article is locked, so I can't do this myself .. the section "Meeting The Doctor" contains two errors (that I can see). For one there's a missing "to" (or other fix needed) in the sentence-snippet "..but first had keep the TARDIS' engines from phasing, requiring a quick trip into the future .." - I suggest "but first had to keep" - other fixes are possible though.
The second - and much more important error IMHO is that if I'm not mishearing myself Amy didn't "bite" her shrinks, but rather she did "fight" them .. an understandable mishearing, in either direction, but I think an important distinction.

- Certainly "fighting" does make more sense. But I'm in love with the image of Amy biting four psychiatrists. It doesn't make as much sense, but boy is it funnier! :) —Robotech Master 04:30, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
Amy's powers?
I wonder if Amy's power of imagination that brought the Doctor back from the crack is still active? It never was really adequately explained…nor was there ever any specific indication that it was "over" after she brought the Doctor back. Hmmmm. —Robotech Master 04:30, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
Gwen Cooper
Is it worth noting the similarites to Gwen Cooper. I tried editing the page, but it was locked.
Not only is there the police connection, but also the fact that both married into the Williams surname, but are still referred to by their maiden names. You could also add Gwen's affair, and Amy's attempted seduction of the Doctor, but don't wanna be too tenuous. . . But still, gotta feel sorry for the Williams men.

"As a Ganger" section
Since Amy Pond (Ganger) has a notice that says it should be merged and then deleted, should we change the "As a Ganger" section to a summary of Amy's appearences in episodes 1-6 of series 6? But I think it should keep the first paragraph with the fact that she was kidnapped. Glimmer721 20:49, July 2, 2011 (UTC)
first encounter?
for the caption of the picture of Amy Pond facing prisoner 0, it claims that this is her first encounter with an alien species, which is untrue because her first encounter was with the doctor. can somebody change this? Tessalecta 23:26, September 5, 2011 (UTC)
Do not remove...
Please do not remove the bit about amy and her parents after the doctor restarted the universe because it states: "Amy suceeded in restoring the family she had lost to the cracks, as well as a human again Rory." so her parents exist now because the doctor fixed it!!!
Species listing in infobox
If we're going to list her species as Peg Doll, then we need to also include Ganger in that list as well, given that no separate article for the Ganger version of Amy exists. 68.146.80.110 01:17, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

the Doctor said
The Doctor called her Amy Williams in the god Complex. He's finally admitted it. 78.105.95.95 20:38, September 22, 2011 (UTC)
Marital status on page
The page states:
- She was the girlfriend (and later wife) of Rory Williams
Seeing as everything is spoken of in the past tense, doesn't it make more sense to say that she was the wife of Rory Williams? She is his wife. The girlfriend part isn't so relevant anymore. D0ct0r11 • 16:41: Fri 9 Sep 2011
One of the issues in writing these things is that we wish to write them so they apply through or perhaps the word is across all the appearences. As he marital status changed throughout her appearences, that should be noted and the person reader this wiki for information will be alerted to those changes, in a manner that would not be available without the plural statuses noted. If Rory gets killed, we should then note her status as his widow. It is only those characters who remain constant in their statuses throughout their appearences which may not be worth noting.Boblipton 23:16, September 23, 2011 (UTC)
Model for a perfume: before or after departure?
In Closing Time, the Doctor ran into Amy and Rory and sees that Amy is a model for a brand of perfume called Petrichor. It seems that scene takes place som time after Amy and Rory's departure from the Tardis.
But earlier, we can clearly see on a newspaper that the date is 19th April 2011, so two days before America and Lake Silencio. So the Amy we see in the mall in Closing Time has not yet seen the Doctor die. Therefore, I think that statement has to be moved between her honymoon and America.
