King of England?

Should we add the Tenth Doctor to the 'English monarchs' category, for marrying Elizabeth?Liam Mars ☎ 12:34, December 1, 2013 (UTC)

No, because the spouse of a monarch isn't a monarch. He is part of category:English royalty, but not category:English monarchs.

Indeed; his title would be Prince Consort of England rather than King, despite his own statement of "I'm gonna be king!" in The Day of the Doctor. - MrSiriusBlack ☎ 14:20, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

Return of the 'Doctor Loved Rose' debate

So early last year there was a huge debate here on whether or not The Tenth Doctor loved Rose. But I have found new evidence suggesting that he does, from the 2006 episode School Reunion:

The Doctor: "I don't age. I regenerate. But humans decay. You wither and you die. Imagine watching that happen to someone you..." (Hesitates and fails to finish his sentence)

Rose Tyler: "What, Doctor?"

The Doctor: "You can spend the rest of your life with me. But I can't spend the rest of mine with you. I have to live on, alone. That's the curse of the Time Lords."

Now, I know, once again, that he doesn't directly say that he loves her, but he was undoubtedly heading in the direction of saying it when he hesitated, if you know what I mean. MrSiriusBlack ☎ 16:30, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

Haven't really read the arguments since they were up, so I don't have a direct comment on this debate (my two cents were it was unspoken and alluded to), but I always took "someone you" as hesitating in saying he loved Sarah Jane in the past. Think about the lines leading into your quote.

Rose: I thought you and me were...but I obviously got it wrong. I've been to the year five billion, right, but this, no, this is really seeing the future: you just leave us behind. Is that what you're gonna do to me?

Doctor: No, not to you.

Rose: But Sarah Jane. You were that close to her once, and, now, you never even mention her. Why not?

Doctor: I don't age. I regenerate... -- Tybort (talk page) 18:00, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

Temporary block on page editing

I'm blocking this page for an hour so that User:Masterpwn and User:92.15.155.159 have a chance to read our policy on edit wars. Start a discussion here on the attempted change to the page. Once the protection expires, there will be no back and forth editing on this further issue. Shambala108 ☎ 16:43, April 10, 2014 (UTC)

New Infobox Box Image

I'd like to propose a change to the current Tenth Doctor infobox image "TenSpecsBiggerSmileLeftSITL.jpg" to the file I recently uploaded entitled "Tenth Doctor Water of Mars.jpg", as the image is higher quality, and "more up to date" (as up to date as we can get, excluding screenshots from the End of Time and Day of the Doctor). When editing the page I discovered I could not change the image without community discussions, however I couldn't do that until December 2012, which was over a year ago. Sabovia^{Talk to me} 04:26, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

One problem is that the image you uploaded is a bit squished horizontally.

But the other issue is that when someone asks for a Doctor or companion image to be changed, they are usually reminded that we have tons of articles on the wiki that don't have any images at all, and that is really more of a priority than starting a new round of voting for a Doctor that isn't current any more. There's no rule that says the image of a Doctor must come from as up-to-date a story as possible.

Off topic, something is wrong with your signature, as it doesn't have a link to your user page and your talk page, as is required by Tardis:Signature Policy. Shambala108 ☎ 06:05, August 6, 2014 (UTC)

Image change

Having the glasses on the main image kind'a gives off the impression they were part of his main attire, plus you can nly realy see his face, and not in his pest angle if you ask me.BananaClownMan ☎ 18:33, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

Have you read Tardis:Guide to images? The tightly cropped faces are exactly what we want for infoboxes. Shambala108 ☎ 18:39, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

Proposal #1

Removed from personality section

This incarnation had a very forgiving nature, consistently extending an offer to help even his most dangerous enemies before putting a stop to their evil deeds. (TV: Evolution of the Daleks) He was even willing to forgive the likes of Davros and the Saxon Master. (TV: Last of the Time Lords, Journey's End, The End of Time) However, when his patience reached its limit or his enemies were duplicitous, they received no mercy or second chances. (TV: The Christmas Invasion, The Family of Blood)

While it's probably not too speculative to say the Daleks are the Doctor's enemy given they describe each other as such in-story, T:NPOV says to avoid subjective terms like "evil" or "evil deeds", and the Doctor's complicated relationship with his old childhood friend (at least Ten and Twelve) puts the whole "dangerous enemy" into question with the Master, even if they fall under "dangerous". Also, the Family of Blood and the Sycorax? One off aliens as "enemies"? -- Tybort (talk page) 07:02, February 19, 2015 (UTC)

I sort of dispute the "willing to forgive Davros" bit as well, unless I'm thinking of a different definition of "forgive", considering he didn't really have the sentiment of his childhood friend, or see the possibility of changing the Daleks and giving them a new home. In The Stolen Earth, after Davros spoke to him on the Sub-Wave, the Doctor effectively just said "Bye," while in Journey's End, he refused to go on any nostalgia tour with Davros and wanted him to get to the point of the matter. -- Tybort (talk page) 01:36, February 23, 2015 (UTC)
