Starman

I was wondering if you could help me with something. I'm working on The Beast of Babylon right now and the main enemy is Starman (The Beast of Babylon). However, his species is also a Starman, so I created Starman (species) and that's when I realized that there was also a David Bowie song called Starman. I put a speedy rename request on that to change it to Starman (song) and since there's now three Starman pages, I know we'll also need a disambiguation page.

However, the Ninth Doctor also refers to another Starman that he encountered and trapped in the twenty-sixth dimension and by doing so inadvertently created the Starman (The Beast of Babylon). So how would I label a page for the Starman that's trapped in the twenty-sixth dimension, since they are both referenced in The Beast of Babylon, but only one can have that page name?

All right, thank you!
And if it helps, I already did a WhatLinksHere search and there was only one Starman link on the David Bowie page, which I already changed (because it was suggested to do so on the speedy rename instruction page, if there were fewer than ten links). The only other link that now exists is the one in my last set of comments when I was explaining the Starman page issue. Mewiet 18:59, November 9, 2013 (UTC)
I was just thinking, the main enemy Starman is sometimes referred to as the Beast or the Great Beast by ancient Babylonians. He has no official name though and he's mainly referred to as the Starman, with the Beast and the Great Beast coming in as the next most used nicknames, respectively. (In the very latter part of the text.) I'm not sure how acceptable either of those would be though, since they aren't what he's primarily referred to as. But I guess it's something that could be considered since this is unique situation. But I can definitely work with your suggestion until something's decided. :) Mewiet 01:51, November 10, 2013 (UTC)


Request for the Doctor Who Page

Hey, I found this picture of a British Paper from 1963 talking about Doctor Who as an upcoming television series. The article was written 2 days before the premiere of An Unearthly Child


Fingers are crossed that they find more lost episodes... I'm re-watching the classic series (still on season 1) and it's a shame that Marco Polo was never recovered.. which is peculiar because out of all the missing episodes, it was broadcast in the largest number of foreign stations. If we find another episode.. I'm putting my bet on this episode. ...That is if you truly believe they didn't find it in Nigeria..

5 de Julio

Hello! I've read what you wrote when you reverted my edition. Sorry, I didn't know, as you may have noticed, I'm new here.. By the way, since it isn't a real location, I think there shouldn't be that map there showing where "it is". What do you think?

Strax Field Report

Hey, could you do me a favor? Please temporarily delete Strax Field Report: Queen Elizabeth I. We decided in a forum discussion somewhere that, since we don't consider the Field Reports stories, they violate the spoiler policy until the episode they advertise comes out. So restore it if you can on Saturday. Thank you.

Actually, once you're at it, could you add that one and the other recent one to Strax Field Report? Just put "[Name withheld by wiki administration per spoiler policy]" for the name variable. So Z115/D was released on 7 November, and Q235/E on 17 November.

Here: Thread:130675. It's still in inclusion debates. That was an incredibly long discussion, and I've changed my tune since May. Huh. I kind of remember that actually being resolved. --SOTO 18:14, November 17, 2013 (UTC)
Oh, forgot to answer your second question. Naa, I think we can keep The Doctor's Greatest Secret intact. It's more of an post-Name report than a pre-50th one, and doesn't really reveal anything that The Name of the Doctor didn't.
